Arby's — Restaurant in Town of Lancaster

It's roughly 6:30pm on a Sunday. I pull up to the drive through. The guy asks if I would be interested in a meal. I reply that's a good question. I say I want to get two regular roast beef sandwiches, some potato cakes and a shake, can that be made into a combo or should I just order them separately? He replies ok two regular roast beef sandwiches, anything else?.... I'm dumbfounded. Yes, I'd like 4 potato cakes and a jamocha shake. He tells me the total, I drive around, process the credit card, it's all good. A couple minutes pass, he comes to the window, hands me the bag and starts to close the window. Uh, can I maybe get some Arby's sauce? Oh, yeah.. so he hands me some. I start to drive away, check the bag, I only see two potato cakes. I check the receipt, got charged for four. So I throw it in reverse. A girl comes to the window, I explain the discrepancy. She apologizes and said she'll take care of it right away. While I'm waiting I check out the bag again. One potato cake is STILL PARTIALLY RAW! So when she comes back to the window with the missing food, I tell her about this new problem. She's mortified. She says she'll get me four freshly made potato cakes. Thanks, I appreciate that. In the five minutes it takes to make them (I worked at Arby's 30 years ago so I know they take some time to cook), I look in the bag again and there's no straw for the shake. What the hell is going on here? These kids are making $15-17 per hour and nearly every aspect of the order/experience was messed up. They should be utterly ashamed of their personal performance. At least that one guy. The other girl seemed to have her...

Arby’s Review: When Did Fast Food Get This Expensive?

I haven’t eaten at Arby’s in years, but decided to give it another try today. I usually stick with places like McDonald’s or Burger King, but figured I’d switch it up. Unfortunately, I was shocked by the price.

I ordered two meals with shakes, and the total was nearly $50. That’s not a typo—fifty dollars for fast food. Just the other day, my wife and I went to Applebee’s. We had an appetizer, two drinks, and two solid meals—all for around the same price. So naturally, I asked myself: why am I paying sit-down restaurant prices for drive-thru food?

I get that prices are rising everywhere, but fast food used to be a budget-friendly option. Now, it feels like I’m better off enjoying a full-service meal at a diner or casual restaurant for the same cost. If I’m going to spend that kind of money, I’d rather sit down, relax, and get more value for it.

If I had to choose a fast food place, I’d probably stick with McDonald’s—it’s at least a bit cheaper and offers more value deals. But Arby’s? Not anymore. These prices are just unreasonable. I could grab a roast beef sandwich at Wegman’s down the road for a fraction of the cost.

Bottom line: Arby’s lost me today, and I don’t think...

The online only deal of 2 meals for $9.99 - last night 10pm-ish they gave crusty reheated sandwiches and cold curly fries - we were too hungry to complain, and it has never been that bad - SO ALWAYS EAT A FEW FRIES BEFORE YOU DRIVE AWAY. Today tho, I went at dinnertime around 6pm-ish and sandwiches were warm and tasty with warm fries. Plz closing crew - don't make us suffer for eating late - and no...
