Why, oh, why didn’t I listen to you, Marge? Whatever made me think they could make a decent sandwich when they never could before? That does it. From now on I’m believing EVERYTHING I hear on The Simpsons.
I hear their drive-thru sucks, but I have to disagree with you about their food. I love it! Now, I’m sure there’s the occasional bodily fluid or bull testicle in my roast beef, but as long as I can’t taste it, the sandwich is still good.
I hope you’ll try Arby’s again. Perhaps you just had a bit of bad luck.
Another great Simpsons line:
*I’m so hungry, I could eat at Arbys.
–Wow that’s pretty hungry *
Arby’s thinks that if you pile some tiny buns with a few pounds of thin, slimy roast beef, nobody will notice the lack of condiments or flavor.
Their curly fries are pretty good, but not nearly good enough to choke down one of their freakin’ sandwiches.
Marge is right.
Arby’s is great, but only when they have those “5 for 5” or “5 for 6.95” deals, or whatever they are nowadays. It’s kinda like McDonald’s in that regard… the only time it’s worth it to buy their food is when you can get 'em for uber-cheap.
And Arby’s sauce kicks ass. If you don’t like it, frankly, I think you should be culled.
Bart: What are we gonna do with the dead ferret?
Mr. Van Houten: Oh, just throw it over the fence, let Arby’s worry about it.
Arby’s is like Subway- they somehow manage to screw everything up. (Except for Arby’s fries and Subway’s cookies.)
I don’t know why everyone hates Arby’s so much. The ones around here (Lawrence, KS and the Kansas City area) are very good.
There is no better fast food than market fresh sandwiches.
I’ve never visited an Arby’s that did not give me deliciousness on a sesame seed bun. My mouth is actually watering as I think of the very rightness of curly fries that I’ve convinced the server-person to cover in cheddar sauce. Ooh, curly fries. Cheddar sauce, ummmm.
I’ve also come to the conclusion that fast food restaurants in Wisconsin somehow just have better food than those in other states. Admittedly, I’ve only eaten fast food from Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois. So far, Wisconsin has never failed me. (Except Wendy’s. How I loathe Wendy’s.) And we are the home of Culver’s, with their infamous Butter Burgers and the best custard EVER.
Ugh. Must eat carrot sticks.
Eat at Arby’s? Try working at Arby’s like I did for a year while I was in High School. Not only did I work at Arby’s, but I worked at the Arby’s in the center of Times Square.
Jesus, was that a sucky job!
Our Arby’s is great!
Especially on the weekends, where Mike is so nice and helpful.
I’m serious.
And I love their baked potatoe and mozzarella sticks!
I been going to Arby’s and Subway for years, and have never been dissatisfied with service. You one of those folks that practically jumps over the counter and prepares your own food? “I want exactly four pickles, arranged in a perfect box formation, with one hundred and ninety-four sesame seeds on the bun… no more, no less.”
And Wendy’s is awesome as nipples, too.
I like those market fresh sandwiches they do, and the curly fries, and the onion petals. But I don’t even like high class roast beef, so I’m not big on the main thrust of Arby’s.
Dunno if this is true or not. Someone told me that their roast beef is actually a powder that is reconstituted with water and then cooked. They do this to keep everything properly sized. It’s something I could believe a fast food restaurant does, but I thought maybe a former worker would know for sure.
Riiiight, like how KFC doesn’t use real chicken either. That sounds pretty stupid to me, but their meat is certainly low grade.
Suuuuuuure. And that big meat slicer thing they all have just to the rear and right of the frydaddy, you know, the one I see them slice meat with, is just for window dressing.
Arby’s rules. No ifs, ands, or buts. I’d crawl over 50 good Wendy’s to get at one modest Arby’s.
Funny, I just ate at Arby’s tonight.
It’s just like any other fast food restaurant. Some franchise locations are good, some are bad. I think the one in Hattiesburg is great. To each their own, I suppose.
I luuuurve Arby’s. I used to eat their Roast Beef sandwiches plain. No sauce or nothin’, just meat and bun. Yummm. And curly fries! ::drool:: Mmmmm… curleee friiies…
And right now, I AM eating carrot sticks.
Okay, I’ll admit the Jamocha shakes are good…
SHIT!
I fucking HATE how I have to remember to turn off my sig! :mad:
Not to drift off-topic too much, but I went to Wisconsin for my first time this past August, to visit the House On the Rock in Spring Green. We stopped at a Culver’s, because I’m from Florida and I insist on eating at restaurants we don’t have here when I’m traveling out of state. You are right about the Butter Burgers and the custard–I wished I could have brought some home with me. And I don’t just mean the food. I mean the franchises. Pretty terrific stuff you got there!
And I just had Arby’s tonight. Like it quite a bit. Wendy’s too, and I don’t even mind Subway or McDonald’s. Burger King is the only one I usually avoid. But my all-time favorite fast food place is Sonic, which we desperately need in Miami!
