Yesterday WKD had lunch with a former fellow employee, they went to Arby's because it was convenient. WKD was amazed, he said the meat was the real thing like it used to be in the 60's, of course the sandwich is now $8.50 but he said it was worth it. We stopped going to Arby's long time ago when they changed the meat and it was like eating colored plastic. He promised to get me an Arby next week so I can try it.

Very interesting. I stopped eating at Arbys probably about the same time you did. Good to hear the roast beef sandwich is back to normal. I very well might have one today.

I vaguely recall eating at an Arby's that used to be near the place where I worked. That was, probably, the very early 70's, and I don't recall details of my impression.
Since then, they have been subject of derision about their meat. Even today, the "late night TV comedians," use them as the butt of many jokes. This is the first that I've heard of anything that would be a good review.. Maybe it would be fair to give it another try.

Last time I ate there was in the 90s. Thin gray slices. First time I ordered on a touch screen.

Have not had Arby's since my brothers babysat me on my parents regular date night Saturdays. That was the late 70's a little of 80'-81'. All I remember, fondly, is the ham & cheese-lots of cheese  |

Arby’s is the best fast food restaurant ever. Always has been, always will be.

I wish I knew how to put this in a diplomatic way, but I do not. Current salary legal hour rate in minimum wages here is around 11.5 € . Some are paid under. A sandwich worth one hour of your life ? |

The buns seemed to have changed also. We don't eat there often, but tried the '2 for' special recently on the way back home from an appointment.

Those sandwiches were once 60 something cents compared to the burger average of 15 cents, so I guess that's where the inflation comes in, but $8.50 for one of those is ridiculous.

When they went from roast beef sandwich many years ago in the first picture to what you get now in the second picture.   |

Maybe more lard was used in the past.

They've had a free sandwich with any purchase this month. I've been getting the half pounders without bun, so basically just a container of meat. I don't know what they do to their roast beef to give it that distinct flavor but it's been hitting the spot.
