Arby's free stuff on Wednesday promos?
 
Dunno if this is a regional thing, but today the promo was a free Roastburger with purchase of a drink. And they've been doing similar stuff for the past 2-3 months as well.

Is this running nationwide? Cause you really can do a lot worse for lunch than a sandwich and a drink for 2 bucks.

Have it here in Cleveland as well - Although I wouldn't touch an Arby's RB sandwich with a 10 foot poll ;)

stevew 07-22-2009 01:06 PM

Yeah-I usually stop in Canton every wednesday.

Hate to sound like Puddy, but I really loves me some Arby's.

MikeVic 07-22-2009 01:06 PM

Why do people hate Arby's so much? The Simpsons made fun of it and I didn't understand why. If someone asks me why I hate McDonald's I can point to the fact that it send me to the can... what's with Arby's though, I actually like the place.

sabotai 07-22-2009 01:16 PM

They have it here in Jersey so it probably is a national promotion (or at least a North East one)

thesloppy 07-22-2009 01:25 PM

I'm so hungry, I could eat at Arby's!

Ronnie Dobbs2 07-22-2009 01:28 PM

People do crazy things in commercials, like eat at Arby's.

I wasn't aware of any significant Arby's hate, so count me as a +1 on this question.

Big Montana was hard to beat in terms of quantity of food in one sandwich for my money. I wish they were a little cheaper but on the whole I've got no complaints with 'em & like me some Horsey Sauce.

Logan 07-22-2009 02:50 PM

I've never had Arby's, but kinda wish I did. Wasn't that Big Montana what Amanda Peet's character wanted so bad in "Saving Silverman?" That looked delicious...






...especially when that sauce was dripping down her chest.

k0ruptr 07-22-2009 06:24 PM

not available in hawaii. of course not. booo

cartman 07-22-2009 06:31 PM

I love when they have the 5 roast beefs for $5 specials. Arby's was the closest fast food place to the house where I grew up, so I ate there a lot.

Big Fo 07-22-2009 07:14 PM

I love their jamocha shakes and the curly fries are good too.

Those have now turned into 4 for $5 locally.

I think mine is 5 for $6 something. My biggest weakness is the Big Montana with Arby and Horsey sauce on it. Curly fries with Arby sauce is a good alternate take on fries. Arby's always seems dead even though I think they put out credible fast food. I do kind of find it funny that a restaurant got famous because their food item was beef, sauce, and a bun.

Rax is better, but they aren't in my area anymore. *sigh*

Bad-example 07-22-2009 08:03 PM

Arby's definition of 'roast beef' isn't the same as mine. Pass.

k0ruptr 07-22-2009 08:12 PM

I do like the new roast burgers tho, and I also can't get enough of the bacon beef n cheddars. oh and the stuffed potato and bacon thingys are awesome

Wolfpack 07-22-2009 08:29 PM

I've pretty much made it a Wednesday stop since they've been doing these promotions, though I only really care to get the roast beef, which they feature a buy-one-get-one on every week. It's even better when the monthly "get a roast beef free with drink" promotion happens. I game the system to get two sandwiches for what amounts to two small drinks (yes, horrible on empty calories, but cheap). I looked at the nutrition charts and I figure I'm getting more than a Big Montana's worth of sandwich for a much smaller cost during these promos. I usually skip out on the fries as a result. Good stuff.

Tigercat 07-22-2009 09:16 PM

Arby's curly seasoned fries = the 2nd best fries amongst large chains, second only to Rally's/Checker's.

stevew 07-22-2009 09:27 PM

Rally's is a personal fave as well. I was so excited when I found one near a delivery stop I make. Western PA is a wasteland for good fast food joints.

Karlifornia 07-23-2009 02:09 AM

The curly fries are alright. I hear the roast burgers are decent, but I'd have to find myself in an unlikely situation to say "Hey, let's stop at the only Arby's within a 20 mile radius"

SackAttack 07-23-2009 03:34 AM

I had a roastburger last week. It wasn't bad.

I'd definitely have another if the burger and a drink only cost me two bucks.

ISiddiqui 07-23-2009 08:39 AM

Roastburgers are very tasty and I love their curly fries (though I try not to get it too often).

Beef and chedders are also delicious as Hell.

Passacaglia 07-23-2009 08:45 AM

Since when are they called roastburgers? I thought they were called roast beef sandwiches.

New ad campaign started about 4-6 weeks ago.

ISiddiqui 07-23-2009 08:55 AM

And a new style of sandwich as well.

stevew 07-23-2009 12:04 PM

I really like the bacon-bleu roastburger-
Especially if you get xtra meat.

They've had the roastburger for several months around here, I'm thinking at least 4-5. Basically they just brown the beef a bit more.

Hm...I always thought it was just a roast beef sandwich with toppings. The regular sandwiches were the equivalent of hamburgers and cheeseburgers at McDonald's (they didn't seem to advertise toppings on them, just meat and perhaps melted cheese on a bun).

Matthean 07-23-2009 10:04 PM

roast beef sandwiches = the basic beef, sauce, and bun.

roastburger = roast beef sandwiches + normal hamburger toppings.
