Arby’s Specials Over The Years
Arby’s Steak Nugget Sandwich
I had simply completed choosing up my grocery order at Walmart after I noticed a brand new Arby’s poster shouting Steak Nuggets. Curiosity obtained the higher of me, so I parked and did slightly recon on-line earlier than stepping inside.
Arby’s is promoting its Steak Nuggets in a number of alternative ways:
- Entrée: 5 items for $5.29 or 9 for $9.29, each served with Hickory BBQ sauce.
- Sandwich ($8.29): 5 smoked steak nuggets, melted Havarti cheese, crispy onions, pickles, and mayo on a toasted bun.
- Steak Nugget Bowl ($9.29): Steak nuggets piled over white cheddar mac & cheese, topped with crispy onions.
The entrée wasn’t into consideration, and whereas that mac & cheese bowl tempted me, the sandwich was the clear alternative.
Earlier than taking a chunk, I pulled out one nugget to see what I used to be working with. The smoky taste hit instantly, like one thing that had frolicked over actual charcoal. Clearly, that’s not what’s occurring again there, however Arby’s does deep fry their burgers in-house, so who is aware of?
The sandwich works as a result of there’s sufficient meat to make it really feel substantial, about 4 ounces of steak nuggets. The melted cheese, mayo, pickles, and (admittedly sparse) crispy onions spherical it out into a fairly balanced chunk.
I’m already fascinated by heading again to attempt that Steak Nugget Bowl earlier than it disappears from the menu. In the event you’ve tried it, please let me know which one you selected.
Costs based mostly on the West Miami Arby’s, the place I purchased my sandwich.

UPDATE: Wagyu Steakhouse Gone?
Arby’s launched a brand new burger, the BBQ Bacon Burger, to the menu whereas quietly eradicating the “Wagyu Steakhouse” from the title, which was their unique promoting level. It does have a barely totally different style, however I’m wondering if most people will discover and even care?
Which Arby’s Wagyu Steakhouse Burger Did I Get?
In any case, was there any doubt I’d go the Deluxe route? The Deluxe has American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and a burger sauce on a toasted brioche bun.
My different possibility was the Bacon Ranch Wagyu Steakhouse Burger. This burger has the identical elements, however there’s no burger sauce; as an alternative, there may be bacon and a parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce.
These appear extra like toppings for a hen sandwich. Perhaps Arby’s play ought to have been to deliver again the onion petals and pair them with the Smoky Q sauce; only a thought.

Extra shocking is the declare that Arby’s burgers will likely be served medium-well with a pink heart. How will Arby’s have the ability to pull that off? The meat patties are cooked sous-vide model, which makes a complete lotta sense.
I can affirm that the middle was certainly pink. It was a pleasing shock to see the patty between medium and medium properly. We would have had a winner if this burger had come out scorching and never lukewarm.
The flavour was there, however I used to be served a Wagyu Steakhouse Burger that had been sitting round after which completed after I positioned my order.

The fries had been superb, whereas that strawberry shake was too syrupy for my style. Marcela who’s a strawberry shake connoisseur, thought so too.
The burger is the usual burger Arby’s has been promoting for the final yr and a half. The principle drawback with it’s inconsistency.
And what’s with the lacking piece of burger? I’m all concerning the crispy fried beef, but it surely was a lukewarm burger patty. Idiot me as soon as, disgrace on you; idiot me twice, disgrace on me, and right here I’m on a fifth fooling.

Arby’s RoastBurger
March twenty fifth, 2009 – I went towards my higher judgment and determined to attempt Arby’s RoastBurger. Having a coupon in hand softened the blow slightly.
As I suspected, there is no such thing as a distinction between an Arby’s Roast Beef Sandwich and a RoastBurger aside from the toppings. So, I made a decision to go along with the Bacon Cheddar RoastBurger, which has pepper bacon and cheddar cheese.
How was the RoastBurger?
Wow! It tastes like an Arby’s Roast Beef Sandwich with pepper bacon and cheddar cheese.
Alright, which may have been slightly obnoxious, however let’s be sincere right here: Who’re they attempting to idiot with their RoastBurger? At Arby’s, the hen bacon and Swiss sandwich is extra my velocity.
I prefer it, and if you happen to add a few of their horsey (horseradish) sauce, it’s even higher. I forgot to say their sauce choice which I completely take pleasure in.
To cap off this meal, we had jalapeño poppers and loaded potato bites (potato with cheddar cheese and bacon). The jalapeño poppers are pretty much as good as you’ll discover at most dive bars, and the loaded potato bites are nothing out of this world.
I do like their onion petals, although. So the ethical of the story is to follow what you understand. Arby’s sells roast beef and some fairly good sides.
