Arby’s

This location is in the back of a gas station with a Church’s Chicken. I have reviewed them as well as my wife wanted a chicken cordon bleu, so I ordered from both places. I had been here before, but only through drive thru which must be tricky for them at best since both restaurants have separate menu boxes, but only one window. I agree with another review here that dining in there might not be a great option because of the tiny seating area. Again, I typically just go through drive thru. They seem to make the sandwiches to order, so do not be surprised by the wait. My wife tells me the chicken cordon bleu is good, but the tea was a bit off. She also tells me the curly fries are just ok. Nothing special here, but no major complaints either.

Random stop for food. Rich the manager was so nice. The girl forgot to add my kids milk and just gave it to me free. I’ve never had anyone be nice at an Arby’s. this place is in my wow list.. You’re the coolest Rich!

I felt bad as I walked in– I owe my father an apology for walking past Church’s Fried Chicken to get to Arby’s…down a narrow corrodor. But I would pay the price.
It started with the wait in what seemed a telephone booth sized counter area– If you entered with 5 people, chances are good someone would need to wait outside. The seating area is even worse! There are a few 2 person tables crammed in the corner. If someone chose to sit on the end, no one is getting into the rest of the seats along the wall.
I ordered the Reuben (Double) — the only reason I am in Arby’s in this decade. I gave them the benefit of ordering a double because that’s the way I expect to see a Reuben– thick with meet. I didn’t want to set them up for the ball by ordering a regular and cursing the lack of meat. I can’t imagine how small that would have been based on the amount of meat on the double– it was almost reasonable for a Reuben.
The Russian dressing AND Sauerkraut were flavorless. How do you dumb down kraut?! I pulled a hunk of meat out and tasted it by itself. Corned Beef… I think this was their regular roast beef, I couldn’t really taste a difference. If you looked closely, you could make out the faint marbling of the bread… but you gotta look closely! By the second half of my sandwich I was putting Arby’s Sauce on the sandwich to give it flavor.
The sandwich was served with their curly fries– that wasn’t a good match up. Reubens should be served with chips and a pickle spear.
I wanted badly to like this, I really did. Instead, I got mocked by my friends for even going in the first place.
Did I mention that they serve Pepsi, not Coke?!
Epic Fail!
PS– they have a buy one, get one free coupon on the Arby’s website… I’m noty printing or going back.

I got some coupons in the ValPak for this location. It’s a Texaco, Arby’s, Church’s Chicken combo.
The coupon I used was a «Free Beef and Cheddar» with purchase of medium fries and medium drink. What I’d normally get would be a Beef and Cheddar and some fries. The total would have been something like $ 5 something with tax. I bought the drink and the fries for about $ 4 something with tax, so in actuality, I only really saved myself a dollar and got myself a superfluous drink. I drank it anyway, but I wouldn’t have gotten it normally.
The food was good average. The beef n’ cheddar had plenty of cheese sauce and I always order it without the barbecue sauce (I hate that they changed it a couple years ago). The fries were a little cold.
The biggest problem: The waiting/​dining area smells like a bathroom. Not in a good way. It had that cleaner/​urine smell to it. Plus having to wait for my food longer than I expected in that smell was torture. I won’t be coming back here unless I’m just getting gas.
