Sorry to disappoint, but no I haven't. I don't eat at Arby's. I like the concept, but I don't think they would be that good. Probably not quality meat. I like my steak med rare. I think you only get 4-6 cubes. That's not enough.

What's in em? If it's just steak I'd give it a shot, but something tells me the ingredient list looks like a Walgreens receipt

My son wanted to try them because he's a big protein eating bodybuilder. They were exactly what I expected. Cooked medium well, very dry, and chewy. Would never buy them again and the kid agreed

Not getting anything other than regular roast beef. Arby's is known for some crazy ***t. Y'all remember the meat mountain?

Does Arby's have one of those "secret menu" things like McDonald's?

Apparently it is a 'secret menu' item that you have to request.

Quote:

Yes, Arby's did (and still has, in a way) a sandwich named the Meat Mountain.


It is famous for being a "secret menu" item, meaning it is not listed on the regular menu board, but most employees are familiar with it and will make it if you ask.


The sandwich is a massive stack that includes virtually all of Arby's different meats on one bun. While the exact components can vary slightly based on current menu items, it typically includes:
  • Chicken Tenders

  • Roast Turkey

  • Ham

  • Corned Beef

  • Brisket

  • Angus Steak

  • Roast Beef

  • Bacon

  • Swiss and Cheddar Cheese

The story of its origin is that Arby's created a promotional poster to showcase all the different meats they offered, and customers started asking to order the giant sandwich pictured on the poster. Arby's then officially created a build for the item, cementing its place on the unofficial "secret menu."



I love its origin story.

I know sometimes they don't have the Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich on the menu but they still make it afaik (their best sandwich IMO). Not sure about anything else there.

Supposedly the Whataburger in Corpus Christi would make you a "WhataFarm" if you asked. It was all the meats they had on a bun.

Sounds like dog food.

That said, I believe Arby's to be underrated overall, and their curly fries are goated.

As an Arby's connoisseur I feel like I should give my honest review


Arby's Steak Nuggets

Appearance
As with most fast food pictures always look better than the actual product and the steak nuggets are no different. They aren't bad looking, just maybe a little darker than portrayed. They came in a small side container with no other accompaniments. They are advertised with a hickory BBQ sauce but my location did not have any I was concerned that the nuggs would be a dry and tough mess. The reality was far different.

Texture
The meat itself was of decent quality. Texture wise it was somewhere between a cheap steak and beef short rib/pot roast. It didn't fall or melt away like pot roast and was on the firmer end. If I had to guess, the meat was slow cooked till medium and then finished on a flat top to bring it top medium well.

Taste
The nuggs were surprisingly well seasoned, actually pretty packed with flavor. The smoke flavor was pretty heavy which I felt kind of detracted from the overall flavor profile. It was like they had been marinated with a large helping of liquid smoke. The thing that really stood out was the lack of saltiness. All the flavor was there but it was just missing that extra punch to tie it all together. I think having the BBQ dipping sauce would have rounded everything out nicely

Final thoughts
I only tried the nuggs on their own but they also sell a sandwich version and a bowl that is essentially mac and cheese topped with nuggs and cripsy onions. I think they would have paired well with the BBQ sauce or other offerings.

No AI, I take my food reviews very seriously. I actually have a tiktok for food reviews. I haven't updated it in over year because life has been busy but I typically cover new releases, special editions, and weird offering.

For example, the loaded taco night Doritos are really interesting. They actually manage to work in a fresh lettuce taste into the chip flavor. It's really unique.

Lays released a special taco flavored potato chip about 8 or 9 years ago that somehow did the lettuce thing as well. It tasted exactly like a Taco Bell taco.
