Arby’s

Hot, fresh food right off of the highway. Good road trip food. Quick drive thru attention and service. Not sure if it was a momentary lapse in memory or a process issue, but the window attendant didn’t remember which drink was Cola and which was Dr Pepper. We taste tested — both Cola. Were able to swap for the Dr Pepper while still at the window. Still were on our way within 2 – 3 minute.

The sauce was extra good. Staff was super nice & informative. I left feeling full & quite happy about my choices.

Very recently I have been restricted in my diet to No Gluten:(
The Reuben at Arby’s has always been my favorite and yesterday the sweetest, most delightful, helpful employee at Arby’s in Troutdale had them make me a Reuben Salad.
It was delicious! I told her she should suggest that as a gluten free option for their menu.

I have been to many of these over the last few years so I have a little comparison. This one seems older, not real up to date. It easy to get into, but remember your coming off a one way, so you have to circle all the way around to get back out of there.
We have the french dip combo. They have switched back to better bread, so we were pretty happy with the food. The restrooms were OK, and somewhat clean. The staff was chatty with each other, maybe a bit much as we could here them.

Let’s not get it twisted, It’s a fast food restaurant… with that said, was fine with it.
This was my 1^st time at an Arby’s. I had the roast beef with au jus, (dipping gravy) and curly fries. The au jus reminds me of the beef reasoning packets you get from Ramen noodles; on the salty side, but it was okay with the sandwich, (and I did drink the rest of it off).
Live plants, including a tree inside, made the inside set up nice. Staff was alright, food was okay to me too.

«People do crazy things on television… like eat at Arby’s!»
On the way back home from Washington I stopped in the town of Troutdale, OR to get some gas. Tired and hungry I surveyed the landscape for an eatery as a stout older gentleman pumped my gas with the exuberance of a high school cheerleader (don’t omit the g). The only three I was able to spy was a McD, Subway, and an Arby’s. «The Simpsons» has warned me twice not to eat at Arby’s but I went against their wisdom since I had already eaten at the other two on my trip and was feeling adventurous. I tried their much advertised «5 for $ 5.95 deal.» I didn’t finish anything except for my Mountain Dew (shoulda got the crab juice!). The only reason I gave this abomination two stars was because the curly fries were edible and the horsey sauce was actually quite good. I’m considering purchasing a ski mask and a gun so I can go back and rob them for a 5 gallon vat of the sauce. Otherwise I’ll never go back to an Arby’s again, unless I decide for some reason I want to pay money to feel nauseous.
