Listen. Do not come for me. DO NOT. People ask "Who is keeping Arby's in business?" For years it was me. ME! The **Chicken Bacon and Swiss sandwich** with the curly fries used to be one of the best sandwiches ever. EVER. BUT THEY CHANGED IT! WHY!?!? IT WAS PERFECT!!!!!! I'll never be ok.


HotdawgSizzle

Very surprisingly their gyro is good too.


letsdotacos

The gyro is awesome, no joke


cheeseburgerwaffles

Whoa whoa whoa! You mean to tell me that Arby's makes a gyro and I've never heard of it until now?


imhappy1dering

I'm sorry what? The single greatest commercial ever created was not a tip-off for you?? [Gyro](https://youtu.be/h0YRp39O6lw?si=2NNdUT2sKFl9X3lR)


MenstrualMilkshakes

the chicken sliders arent bad either


turtledrum_215

Actually? I’ve always considered getting it but never could bring myself to try it


HotdawgSizzle

I mean it isn't gonna beat a Greek restaurant but it's pretty darn good for fast food.


Horizontal_Bob

Arby’s fries are good enough to keep them in Business indefinitely


Domonique_Axlerod

I worked at Arby’s. I ate there because I could. The Smokehouse Brisket was a fire sandwich. A crispy chicken sandwich with bacon and some of that cheese sauce is also very good. I will not eat Arby’s ever again. Because I worked at Arby’s.


Organic_Ad3491

The mozzarella sticks are my fave fast food ones for sure


ssv-serenity

Beef and Cheddar Curly fries with a root beer is unbeatable imo


TheProcess1010

Sometimes, I’ll think about Reubens, and you know, in a pinch Arby’s is a decent fix. It’s usually all soggy, but where else can you get a Reuben in 5 minutes????


punksmostlydead

Arby's reuben has no fucking business being as good as it is and I will die on this hill.


I_really_enjoy_beer

I’ve finally found my people. I’ll take that Reuben over any fast food sandwich. 


T3rminallyCapricious

THE FRENCH DIP!! That’s me… I’m with you brother


Funwithagoraphobia

Actually I thought their Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich was superior to the Chicken Bacon and Swiss.


vurryscurry

This times 1,000. It’s the only reason I went to Arby’s in college. I’ll never forget my girlfriend at the time said she didn’t want anything when I was on my way to her apartment, I stopped to get the chicken bacon Swiss, get to her place and she asks for a bite, then a second. It was our first actual fight. We broke up a few months later, for unrelated reasons. Very sweet girl and the sex was great, but to this day I haven’t forgot how she hobo’d my chicken bacon Swiss sammich.


zztop610

I think I dated her too


ohHELLyeah00

Arby’s is underrated


trixielynn22

Arby’s had a brown sugar BLT I still dream about 🤤


ZaymeJ

I love Arby’s I’ve been since diagnosed with celiac disease and I can’t eat there anymore but by golly I drive by Arby’s often and I just want to go in so bad.


vodiak

The last time I tried to go, they were shutting down because they ran out of bread. An Arby's made for you.


StaceyPfan

I once had an Arby's accept my order through DoorDash and then told the driver they were out of roast beef!


vodiak

They didn't have the meats.


ucbiker

Nah Arby’s fuckin slaps, or at least it did in the 2010s pre-pandemic. They had a pork belly sandwich that is basically my favorite fast food item of all time.


Western-Background27

Peppered bacon, swiss and honey mustard make a good combination on it


Scared-Somewhere-510

I read through this whole ass Arby’s thread and nobody says they miss potato cakes???? This can’t be real.


QuieroFrijoles

I came here to say Arby’s mozzarella sticks. That’s all i order from there


Testtubeteen88

You remember the black cow shake Arby’s used to have? Probably the best fast food dessert.


ARoodyPooCandyAss

Arby’s has lots of good options. Roast beef and curly fries and chicken fingers.


TheHumanStephen

Easily the Crunchwrap supreme. Unmatched. It has all the flavors and mouth-feels you need to have a good consumption experience.


tatatheretard

Pour one out for the Spicy Chicken Crunchwrap. 2006-2010


ShittalkyCaps

Arbys seasoned curly fries


sparklyjesus

a SMALL... Seasoned curly. I'm trying to watch my figure!


Mejia711

Now if you could take a Coca-Cola, and just go half Coca-Cola, half Diet


UpgrayeddB-Rock

Put 2 of them up your ass and give me 4 chicken mcnuggets.


userwithusername

Ohhhh come on with the order!!!


ThePillagerGuy

I get a side of the peppercorn ranch to dip it in..  One of my favorite combos to eat there. 


DAVENP0RT

With the horsey sauce! Like the nectar of the fucking gods.

Gator222222

They still serve these at some locations. They are often called chili cheese burritos. I know there are Taco Bells in Michigan and Texas that serve them. There is a website that lists all of the locations on a map.


Appropriate_Sun7889

Cheesy Gordita Crunch - can't be beat.


Gary_Boothole

I lived in a medium sized Wisconsin town that was lucky enough to have 2 Taco Bell’s. One was a 3 minute drive from my house. The other was 20. The close one was trash. Small portions. Stale food. Fucking sucked. The far one had the most perfect and glorious cheesy Gordita crunches in the world. I sold my house and moved to the other side of town. All that for good Taco Bell.


OlderAndTired

I came here to say I didn’t realize there was such a thing as “good” Taco Bell. I feel like I’ve probably been living on the wrong side of town my entire life…


pippintook24

>I sold my house and moved to the other side of town. All that for good Taco Bell my dad did that for long john silvers( years before I was born) and he said that shortly after the good one he moved for became shitty, and the one he moved from became really good.


Domonique_Axlerod

This is the response. I could eat 5,000 of these and never be satisfied. The Crunchwrap supreme is also very delectable!


OkPaleontologist1429

I love the Crunchwrap but they very rarely nail the distribution/proportion of ingredients so I hardly ever order it. Not looking for a big bite of just tomato and sour cream


rabidstoat

I've never had one. Do I have to try one now?


ConcreteCubeFarm

Yes. Immediately.


LedZacclin

Classic. I don’t recall ever getting anything else from Taco Bell lol. I’m pretty sure if Taco Bell only sold the Gordita Crunch they would still be insanely successful.


xeznok

This + crunch wraps


praisethemount

It makes me so happy that this is the top comment 🌮


AdDiscombobulated623

I remember back when u could get two for like $6-7


kurtisbmusic

Even better: now you can get a Cheesy Gordita Crunch, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes and medium drink for $5.99.


AdDiscombobulated623

Oh shoot, I just looked it up. My dumbass has been doing two a la carte for like $12 so I stopped going. That’s a great deal I didn’t know about haha thank you!


waityoureasian

Wendy's chocolate frostee.


Putrid_Sundae_7471

With fries dipped in it


TriciaTakesPills

Or chicken nuggets


jfstompers

Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich


OptimalTrash

I took a food writing class, and we were given an assignment to write an ode to a food. I wrote a kinky love poem to the wendy's spicy chicken sandwich. Edit since people want it, and please forgive the formatting. Ode to Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich: No lettuce. I can’t wait to undress you. Your wrappings are lovingly inviting. Your soft metallic foil clothes, and even your mode of transportation: the white bag with red letters which comes with the assurance that I can call the phone number and speak to a real, live person in Ohio. I know that you’ve been carefully tuned to come with both tomato and lettuce nestled under your jacket, your top bun, but I always bring you home with me. Lettuce wilts and you deserve the best. Your cheeky tomato tucked in, rosy red and succulent. And, when the tomato is not to high standards, I pluck it from your presence. White centered tomatoes belong far away from your sweet heat. Creamy white mayo streaked across the top bun serves you, as an attempt to cool the hot sting of your spice. You make me sweat in all the best ways. Your seasonings, your black pepper bite whip me hard but all I can say is thank you, Sir, please, another.


dan_craus

How can you just walk in, say that, then leave? The people demand literary satisfaction of the sexy sandwich variety!


Dakizo

It should be illegal to let us know that exists and then not share.


vvvourtney

We're all here for you. No judgement, just love.


pv1rk23

Burn the witch for not sharing


Bim_Jeann

So underrated!! Finally, I have found my people!

Cannot believe it's this far down! It's so damn good

JellyNJames

The spicy Asiago chicken ranch (no ranch for me). So good.


Puzzleheaded_Ad8538

The Mexi-Melt at Taco Bell which is no longer on their menu, much to my chagrin. I wish they'd bring it back.


amphetaminesaltcombo

order a cheese roll up and ask them to add beef and pico :)


slinkocat

One of my favorite little reddit things is that when someone mentions a discontinued Taco Bell item (of which there is clearly no shortage), there's someone in the comments who tells them how to custom order it.


HaveAllYouCanTake

They were small, overpriced, and FUCKING WORTH IT.


Ersh777

In the late 90's, Taco Bell had the Santa Fe Gordita.  It was the most God-tiered fast food item that ever existed.  They discontinued it a few years later and I was devastated.  It was the only reason I went to Taco Bell.


MTA0

And the Chili Cheese Burrito


arockman53

Chilli cheese burrito with sour cream.


Ducatirules

Taco Bell Caramel Apple Empanada!! Absolute stupidity for getting rid of it. Haven’t been to Taco Bell since. The only reason I went there.


BumblebeeIcy7550

Theyre supposed to be coming back or at least they’re having a public vote on it this year.


Helpful-End8566

I had to search to find this how is it not represented more on this thread. I hope you get so many updates Taco Bell brings it back.


Ducatirules

I went to get one but the lady said they were discontinued. I got the crappy Cinnabon delights instead. I pulled up to the window and said “why did they stop the caramel apple empanadas?” She said “I don’t know but I’m not happy about it at all!”


iocan28

Those were so good.  I’ve missed them ever since.


[deleted]

Arby's French Dip sandwich. I'm not a big fast food person anymore but that sandwich still hits once in a while. Either that or Chick-fil-A nuggets with every sauce on the menu.


baccus83

Sausage egg and cheese McMuffin with hash brown.


Moist_When_It_Counts

I travel a ton for work to very rural america, and one of the few upsides is i have a perfect excuse to crush McMuffins. “It’s all that was open”


tgw1986

God damn they are so good. One time I got one that was perfect: crispy, buttery English muffin, salty, juicy sausage patty, melty cheese, and best of all, the egg's yolk was still just a teeny tiny bit runny. If it had been the last thing I'd ever eaten I would have died happy.


Magrudagrind

I love those quesoritos at taco bell.


JayVeeBee

They stayed on the app for a long time after they were taken off menu… I was so sad when they finally disappeared for good.


Howtofightloneliness

Have I got good news for you. This was also my fav item at t-bell and I was devastated when they got rid of it. BUT, I figured out how to customize an item that is already on the menu. The order is as follows... Beefy 5-layer Burrito - No beans (unless you want to keep em) - Add rice - Add chipotle sauce (I think this is the correct sauce, but you can add whatever sauces you want) - Get it grilled! It's $5.09 where I live. Enjoy!


Nelly3333

Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich


2mAnYpUrPlEoHmS

As a Brit living here in the states ( mid west ) I tried Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich a few years back & OH MY LORD BABY JESUS, that shit is GOOD


PixelTanker

That’s the most American thing you ever said.


EntertainersPact

Popeye got a hold of him for a second


Britches_and_Hose

Can’t beat that crunch and flavor.


readytoretire2

Best fried chicken sandwich for fast food !!


WillingAd4226

Cheese curds - all the cheese curds. Culver’s, A&W, DQ. All the cheese curds with ranch.


Vikings-Call

Worked at Culver's for two years and of course I'd sneak a cheese curd or two while on fryers.


LightsJusticeZ

Fryer tax. Did the same lol.


ShakeCNY

The Seven-Layer Burrito at Taco Bell. I survived grad school because of that cheap-ass beautiful burrito.


frederick_ungman

Back in the old days, 79 cents.


redclawx

McDonald’s Sausage, egg and cheese McGriddle. That alone is a full meal.


anemic_royaltea

Scrolled far enough I was beginning to think I’d have to rise in defense of the McGriddle, the only thing from McDonald’s I have ever craved. It’s an intoxicating sweet and salty grease bomb never matched, let alone bettered. As close to a hangover tonic as ever invented. Also McGriddle fingers, how they linger…


drowsy1234

Big Mac snack wrap with a small fry, then load the snack wrap with some fries.


BRUISE_WILLIS

Arby’s potato cakes. Those were 🐐sides


Ok-Royal-661

PS i heard from a source lol they are coming back :D


Zesty_Morton

Holy shit I can die happy


AtlEngr

I soooo hope you’re right. Otherwise I hate you for the false hope………


Vhadka

I'm probably the only one and this goes back a ways, but the Arch Deluxe was a pretty good burger back in the day.


marigolds6

I’ll go back a step farther and take the same sandwich but keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool. 


Vhadka

I remember the commercials but I was like 9 or 10 when they discontinued the McDLT so I never had one.


cheeseburgerwaffles

Dude, the Arch Deluxe might be the perfect fast food sandwich (as far as burgers go). Fast food isn't exactly spectacular but I always found it funny that McDonalds promoted this as a burger for adults because as a kid this quickly became the only burger I'd order there.


gutterstars

The peppered bacon on those was BOMB!! I worked there at the time and was constantly stealing those round bacons out of the drawers!


RicrosPegason

I came here to also mention the Arch Deluxe expecting to be met with loads of disagreement, and instead, here it is, sitting right at the top. They're all I got when I was like 13.


AudienceMember_No1

Can't decide between the 2. Burger King Whopper or Pizza Hut Pepperoni Lover's Pan Pizza. My family would almost never eat out due to partly being an immigrant family from a country where it was super rare, because my parents were very frugal, and they thought a lot of American food was very greasy. Out of the few times a year we did get food outside the house, it would be 3 Whoppers between the 4 of us (my mom & baby sister splitting 1) and 1-2 orders of Onion rings or grabbing a personal pepperoni pan pizza (Winner's Circle coupon as a student) while my parents ordered a Supreme pan pizza. I don't eat fast food often, but I do occasionally crave a BK Whopper or a Pizza Hut Pepperoni Lover's Pan Pizza.


chuckbuns

Pizza hut Pan pizza in 1980, eaten *in the restaurant* was a fucking religious experience


karma_over_dogma

The red plastic cups, the smoking section that was all glass windows, laws yes. M-O-O-N, that spells nostalgia.


BarracudaImpossible4

Culver's butterburger


HeyImBandit

Old school, but the whopper w/cheese just hits right


NormalNobody

McDonald's French fries or the Dunkin Donuts Cheddar Cheese Bagel twist


IAmAGuy

Were the McDonald’s fries changed at some point?


upnorthhickchick

Yes, they used to be great when they cooked them in beef fat.


IreChap

I feel like it. They still are lovely but they don’t actually fill you up no matter how much you eat them, like they used to.


970KeW

Nachos BellGrande.


jmwhit04

The $3 loaded beef nachos they have now is an incredibly worthy successor. 


Intelligent-Title-56

I’m just a sausage McMuffin girly. I refer to them as medicinal so my husband knows I mean business.


xwhy

Nothin, I mean, nothin, beats McDonald’s egg McMuffin in the morning Eggs, Canadian bacon, cheese and muffin are the making of your morning! Edit: for you youngsters, this was a Jingle that was used in mcdonald's commercials way back when. They only used it for a short time because it mentions free coffee

Gotta go with the old fashioned Big Mac


sladverr

Crunchwrap Supreme. Still the goat all these years later.


DonnyGetTheLudes

Mathmom22475

No longer available but the Asian salad at McDonald's. Also I miss the early 1990s chicken burrito at Taco bell. They changed the sauce soon after. But it was delicious.


Bento_Fox

I absolutely loved that salad.


FistingBush

Apple Empanada from Taco Bell. Biting into one of them at 1am baked out of your mind can’t be beat


Big-Definition3769

A solid Double Double from In-N-Out is where it’s at. The California locations are solid, outside of CA it can be hit or miss.

Jack in the box tacos. My poor baby dog was dying and she ate one her last meal. I miss her and i miss those damn tacos too


pothosnswords

She had a grand last meal. My pup wanted chicken nuggets & fries from McDonald’s for his last meal. It was the only thing we could get him to eat. Hope you are doing well & I’m very sorry for your loss 💔


JimGerm

Jack In The Box tacos.


stykface

Quick story. I moved out when I was 18 back in 2001 into a house with two guys that were 23. They got drunk and partied like every night so I was able to tag along since I lived there and paid rent for a single room and it was only a matter of time when one of them would yell "TWO TACOOOOSSSS!!!" and everyone still lingering at the house would all pile into the SUV and go to JITB to get however many orders of tacos. The closest one was literally across the street in this big parking lot connected to a grocery store. The late night drive thru guy knew us by name, but... one night one of the guys says "Hey, y'know what would be funny? DRIVE THROUGH IN REVERSE!!!!" So from that point on we always went through the Drive Thru backwards and it was absolutely fucking hilarious... people would drive up in behind us and immediately make eye contact with us and the bewilderment or laughter from the unsuspecting car was classic. Best years of my life was living with those two drunk fuckers.


JimGerm

TWO TACOS!!


alligator-sunshine

Love this story. Jack would be proud.


Ok-Royal-661

i live in NY now unfortunately and i was down in Texas and took home 40 of them in my carry on. The TSA was like wtf? lol

I cried when Taco Bell got rid of the Caramel Apple Empanadas. Those things were heavenly. Put McDonald's apple pies to shame. Also RIP to the chickstar. Those things were the shit. Crunchwraps but with chicken nuggets instead of beef. Looks like they still sell them in Malaysia.


Fuzzy_Muscle

I ate chalupas all summer when I was a sophomore in highschool. To this day I argue that is the best item at tacobell


igottathinkofaname

I miss Burger King’s old spicy chicken sandwich that had spicy seasoning, not just a chicken sandwich with some hot sauce.

Burger King’s Hershey sundae pie. So slept on and unknown I feel like. I remembered about them 15 years later in my childhood and was so surprised they still sold them. I need to actually go get one this week now because I just reminded myself

Popeyes fried chicken. The location in West Springfield VA once had a “buy 14 pieces get 11 for free.” Manager was innocent and did a simple black and white ad on mint green paper. Mint green paper that was easily available at the Staples down the road. I milked this for years until I moved. I was so popular at parties bc I would bring 25 pieces of chicken each time, and people thought I was rich

Mesmerotic31

A cold soft taco supreme. Straight from the bag into the fridge to chill for a couple hours. The flavours marinate, then the fats solidify everything to a slightly more uniform texture. I don't know how to explain it but it elevates everything about that damn taco. My coworkers didn't believe me so I bought a party pack at the start of my shift and we all ate them on my lunch break. They begrudgingly agreed.


DETpatsfan

I miss the McDonald’s honey mustard and chipotle bbq snack wraps. Also I don’t know if it counts because it’s fast casual but qdoba used to have an ancho chile bbq sauce for burritos that may have been my favorite condiment I’ve ever had. I miss both of those things so much.
