Arby’s

Hit the drive thru, but couldn’t even place my order. The person talking on the intercom was a dick, and I got the feeling our presence was an inconvenience. Don’t worry, we won’t be inconveniencing anybody at this location anymore.

I rolled into this place last night. Was hoping on a 5 for 7.95. I ordered such and was rudely told that they dont have that, about ten seconds of silence goes by and I ask {because this confuses me?} for it again, and was rudely told off again. Ive been ordering this for as long as I can remember. Im guessing that they dont have this on the menu anymore. No one really explained the situation. Very disappointing

After my disappointing brisket sandwich from Dickies BBQ, the upscale fast food BBQ chain spreading around. I wanted to compare it to the Arby’s brisket sandwich by the way which I never had any plans to ever try this sandwich but I was curious after eating at Dickies BBQ.
First off it’s $ 1 less than dickies and is still fast food. When I was handed the bag I could smell a smokey oder right away and that was a good sign. The Arby’s version is smoked brisket, smoked Gouda cheese, BBQ sauce, mayo, hay stack style onions on a light bun. See my pictures.
Visually for fast food it looked decent and smelled good. I took my first bite and it all worked very well because it was tasty compared Dickies. There is a smokey flavor in the sandwich that Dickies is missing. They are equal in size but very different animals. The mayo and the fried onions is what really brought it across the finish line first.
My final thoughts on the fast food brisket battle is when considering price vs taste Arby’s wins hands down. With Arby’s I didn’t feel like I was eating a pot roast sandwich but something closer to a BBQ sandwich taste wise. Neither by no means is an authentic BBQ brisket sandwich, see Smoque in Chicago if you don’t know what an authentic BBQ brisket is. I’m not in to fast food brisket but Arby’s clearly is the way to go
