Arby's — Restaurant in Grand Rapids

Arby’s – MN (The Land of 10,000 Lakes and Apparently $10,000 Roast Beef Sandwiches)

Look, I love Arby’s like I love a good pair of sweatpants—comforting, reliable, but you know it’s not winning any fashion awards. Their roast beef is the star, sliced thin enough to make you forget it’s fast food, and the curly fries? Crispy, seasoned perfection that could probably broker world peace. But holy walleye, Minnesota Arby’s, why does my wallet cry harder than a Vikings fan in the playoffs?

I rolled up to the drive-thru, dreaming of a Beef ‘n Cheddar, and got handed a receipt that looked like a down payment on a lake cabin. $12 for a combo? In MINNESOTA? I could buy a hotdish casserole and a 12-pack of Grain Belt for that! The food’s solid—meaty, saucy, and the horsey sauce gives my sinuses a workout—but it’s not like they’re hand-carving prime rib back there. It’s fast food, not a fancy steakhouse on Lake Minnetonka.

The staff was fine, quick enough to keep the line moving, but the vibe was like, “Here’s your food, now go before we charge you for breathing our air-conditioned air.” The dining area was clean, but it’s got all the charm of a DMV waiting room. If you’re gonna charge me like I’m dining at a hipster gastropub, at least throw in a vibe or a free smile.

Would I go back? Yeah, ‘cause those curly fries haunt my dreams. But Arby’s, maybe ease up on the price tag, or I’m gonna start roasting my own beef in protest. 3 stars—decent grub, but my bank account...

I stopped there on Friday 9/6 @ 6pm, there's a big sign on the window advertising roast beef sandwichs 4 for $10. I went inside to order, I asked the girl at the counter if that deal was still good, she said I think so, but when she asked a coworker he said no we can't do that as we would have to cook another roast, and I'm standing right there. Why on a Friday night do they not have enough roast cooked especially during dinner time. I asked if I could get 2 roast beef from the 2 for $6 he said yes they could do that but no more then 2 which was very rude to say. When I said ok I'll have 2 for $6 roast beef, the girl said ok but would you be willing to get a roast beef and a chicken sandwich instead, even after the guy said they could do 2 roast beef sandwiches. I was so mad and upset I didn't order anything and left, and I went to taco bell. I was really really disappointed in both of the employees service and how I was treated. I'm...

Went through the drive through got milk shakes which were made in the wrong size the first time and the lady got very upset about it. We could see her slamming the cups around through the window after we had asked for the right size. When we got the right size they had made one of them in the wrong flavor and when it was brought up she had walked back over to the shake machine but the guy that originally took our order told us he didn't hear that. Although, I spoke my order loud and clear and he did not ask for clarification other than for what sandwich I wanted. They also did not give us a receipt. Not to mention as we parked to eat my husband found a hair in his food so not a...
