Arby's — Restaurant in Anderson

THEY DEFINITELY HAVE THE MEATS! If our experience recently at the Anderson location was any indication, Arby's might just be the comeback story of the century! No joke. Not that long ago, the chain was well known for being good for one thing: their unique roast beef. That's not meant in a backhanded way (“unique” wink, wink), but let's face it, their meat was, much like KFC's chicken, not exactly akin to the traditional, and people either loved it (like us) or un-loved it for that reason. And that's ok; like it or not, Arby's has always been a true one-of-a-kind in that sense, an American original. But nobody ever expected a vast array of menu selections, nor mistook it for gourmet cuisine either, even by fast food standards. Oh, how a few years can make a world of difference. Now, it's looking like “The Big A” might just be one of the better sandwich places out there, in point of fact. You could certainly do a lot worse. Plus, their menu has expanded a bit, to include a few delicatessen-style offerings that, surprisingly enough, actually rise to the quality level of many mom & pop delis. Very tasty, one and all. Of course, their trademark roast beef remains unchanged, and we were always among those who appreciated it for what it was. But a little added variety is a nice touch, too. Well done, Arby's. Their sandwiches are now officially better than anything offered by chains like Subway, Blimpie's, Togo's, et al. Of course, that may not be saying much, considering the declining quality of these establishments of late. But it's still worth the drive from Redding, even if you don't shop at the nearby outlets or are venturing to see a movie at the adjacent theatre during the same trip. Friendly, hard-working staff can be found there also, which is a nice change amid the current environment of jaded, surly quiet-quitters that populate the food service work force these days, to be frank. So please keep those fine workers happy, Arby's, and the good food coming....

Apparently they just reopened after a very long hiatus. Every Arby's closed, from what I understand, within a very long radius that expands like at least 2 hours (except for a little mini station/truck stop somewhere just an hour and a half south or so maybe an hour I don't know but I ain't driving an hour for a truck stop Arby's.... Or even to get blessed by Jesus himself so no offense)... I don't know why all the Arby's closed within an hour or two of Redding however I went to the smoke shop and I saw there was a very long line and I didn't care if the line extended all the way to Cypress avenue I was going to get in it and man I wasn't even hungry.... Was supposed to be taking my dog to the park but that didn't happen. Got some nuggets for my dog and three buffalo sliders it was everything that I remember. Just chicken and bread the right kind of bread the right kind of chicken that was tender and doused in that sexy spicy buffalo vinegary concoction and that's all that needed to be on it and my God no one else sells this thank God for Arby's... That sliced roast beef covered in artery clogging liquid cheese.... The chicken was tender everyone there was cool just Jesus Christ hell yeah for this place I'm pretty sure they could serve cockroaches and I'm going to be happy as long as they slather it in that delicious Arby's sauce however this place is open it is June 22nd 2021 and you can now revisit this Arby's coming in m****** b be open. I'm not going to lie I got a few packets of Arby's sauce just to drink as an aphrodisiac for later. If you cherish your marriage I suggest you...

Today my dad and I went through the drive through to order. First we were asked if we would like the chicken pecan salad sandwich which is what we went to get. My dad replied yes and the lady paused for a moment then said order whenever your ready. So he continues to place our order for two chicken salad sandwiches in meals. Then without asking what size we would like she continues to say okay anything else. My dad said to add onion ring to one order. She responded what do you mean, oh you ordered two? After we cleared the order she was very rushed when she repeatedly would ask if we wanted anything else. Thus feeling very rushed we didn't get the other item we wanted. We got our food and went home to eat. I opened my sandwich and saw that there was barley any thing on it, the piece of lettuce was 3 times smaller than the bread, and you could tell that the salad had been sitting for a while because the apples where brown and soggy. I brushed it off but as I continued to eat the bread began to taste like dish soap. I took another bite and the taste was stronger. So I stopped eating and tried the fries which were soggy and cold. My dad was looking over the receipt and noticed that the way she charged us for two meals was unusual. She put one meal. Then added another meal, curly fries, a large order of onion ring, a small punch (I ordered doctor pepper), and a small Sierra Mist. The total came to over $17. When one regular meal without any substitutions was $4.99 plus tax, tax being $1.24. Very disappointed in the Anderson Arby's food...
