Arby's — Restaurant in Cold Spring

Oh, Arby's, what an adventure we have embarked on together. This hallowed temple of roast beef, this sanctuary of the sandwich, is where I found myself on an average Tuesday, my belly grumbling louder than a lion at a vegan convention.

Upon entering the establishment, the aroma of freshly sliced roast beef hung in the air like a tantalizing, meaty perfume. The cashier greeted me with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for long-lost relatives or people who happen to find forgotten $20 bills in old jeans.

Now, when one journeys to the land of Arby's, there is but one item to order – the Classic Roast Beef Sandwich. Served up quicker than you can say "Where's the beef?", the sandwich arrived, nestled in its wrapper like a meaty newborn swaddled in a bread bun. The roast beef was piled high, casting a shadow on my tray as I unwrapped it with the respect such a mountain of meat deserved.

The first bite was an experience, to say the least. The roast beef was soft, yet full of character, and the bun was as pillowy as a cloud (had I somehow ascended to meat heaven?). Every bite after that was a roller coaster of flavor, each one whispering sweet nothings to my taste buds. The signature Arby's Sauce added the extra zing, taking this humble sandwich from mere fast food fare to "amuse-bouche of the gods" status.

But a meal at Arby's isn't complete without those curly fries, so curly you'd think they were auditioning for a role in Goldilocks. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, seasoned to perfection, those spiraling potatoes danced the waltz on my tongue. They were so delicious I had to fight the urge to propose marriage to them.

Despite the culinary carnival, I had to dock a star because, well, the decor felt a bit like a throwback to my high school cafeteria, minus the moody teenagers and the pop quiz anxiety. Plus, there wasn't a live horsey in sight (perhaps they should consider that for future marketing strategies).

All in all, Arby's is a haven for any sandwich enthusiast or curly fry aficionado. It's a place where you can embark on an epic fast-food odyssey and emerge victorious, with a full stomach and a sense of accomplishment. Arby's: you had...

Very sorry to say, repeated terrible experiences at the Highland Heights Arby's. Once again, disorganized, manager would not help employees saying "I don't know what to do". Waited over 10 minutes to be told they didn't have the materials to make my sandwich correctly, while my other food sat on a tray (supposed to be to go order, as it said on my receipt). Another 5 minutes to make the substitute sandwich. After being made, it sat another 5 minutes, not put in a bag until I asked. Yes, my first order sat on a tray for roughly 20 minutes, then put in my to go bag. Salad had black lettuce. During this time, employees were arguing about making a coffee drink, manager did nothing. Please get...

Just left this location without ordering. I walk in no acknowledge me or asked to take my order. So for a couple minutes I patiently wait and the guys are playing with something that obviously was more important than customers. Then someone pulls up to the drive thru the guy stops playing with whatever it was that had him distracted he looks at me and says " we will be right with you" and then takes the drive thru order. Smh I walked out. Arby's customer service has been going down hill the last few years and I rarely ever go there anymore so this reinforces my reasons...
