Any time you see articles about top fast food chains they seem to always score well nationally in food quality, customer service and financial success. But I don't think there is one that's still open in Baton Rouge or the surrounding area. I was always a fan of their Beef and Cheddar and Arby's sauce. What is ya'll's take?

Fattys like places with ice cream and cheese fries.

Their roast beef is garbage

Most of us grew up eating roast beef poboys regularly.

Exactly. Their RB is disgusting compared to a quality roast beef poboy. (I'm not talking about the sorry deli sliced stuff run through gravy...I mean the real thing, which is akin to quality pot roast on bread.)

I agree, but I don't consider poboys fast food, I'm saying if I gotta choose between McDonalds,BK,etc... or Arby's. I think I'm choosing Arby's.

Their flagship product (roast beef) sucks. However, they have some awesome stuff on the menu. In Louisiana, the only Arby's locations left are inside dirty truck stops.

LOL!! amazing. Anything to make your point I guess. When I think of getting a poboy I really don't have any gas stations that come to mind. So please recommend one to me.

I had never been to an Arby's before, so I went in like 2014 when I worked next to one. Definitely don't see the love. The Arby's sauce had the weirdest rancid taste to it.. No bueno for me.

I like a cold roast beef finger sandwich from time to time at a party, and I love real shredded hot roast beef, but that was just an odd warm sliced deli meat thing with super tangy sauce.

Inexplicably, there's one on Veterans in Metairie right near a Wendy's and MacDonald's. And plenty of other choices like Atomic Burger, Taco Bell, Chick-fil-a, Panda Express and Parran's Poboys right in the area. I can't understand how they stay in business.

I like Taco Bell

But as far as quality Arbys is way ahead of TB or Panda Express.

Yes and this is why I didnt go there for many years because back then it was basically all they had and I could get a fantastic roast beef anywhere. I went a year or so ago and they are much different now so I can give them some props on that.

Even Rax couldn’t make it in the late 80’s. They had way better roast beef than Arby’s.
