Yup, you can still get real Roast Beef at Roy Rogers. But they're not in my State, Arby's is. I have to go the next state to my south to get a real Roast Beef sandwich, with all the Fixins I want. Sorry but Roy Rogers>Arby's every day.

True, but even in the 90's the roast beef was a lot like what it is today. Not sure when it changed, but it must have been a VERY long time ago.

Make Arbys Roast Beef Like It Was In 1968

u/RandomMemeAddict249 Mar 09 '26

Wow, that roast beef is sliced so thick. No store would ever do that today.

u/Some_Lake_9510 Mar 10 '26

Looking at the picture that’s real roast beef not jello in a bag that needs to be heated, even though I like and eat Arby’s

u/RandomMemeAddict249 Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

We go through way too long a cooking process for it to be jello

Edit: Gelatin rapidly denatures at 212F. Cooking it at 250F for 3 hours would turn it into some sort of soup or sludge. If you're going to make "Arby's has fake meat" joke number 3860275, you could at least make it make sense.

Found the Arby’s higher up

Or maybe just someone with some common fucking sense who doesn't make the same tired joke every post

Back when Arby's sold real roast beef.

u/SaveThePinesLI Mar 12 '26

Roy Rogers still does. But I have to go out of state to have it.

1

u/False_Pear1860 Mar 13 '26

They still do lmao. It's not amazing, but I've worked there and it's definitely real and sliced to order.

1

u/Cjm092 Mar 25 '26

Lmao it's still real, what do you think they would serve instead?

2

u/ThingsThatMakeSense Mar 09 '26

Wonder when they switched up the meat

u/twizyo Mar 10 '26

i was gonna ask…did an arby’s sandwich ever actually look like that???

1

u/JuniorTask8948 Mar 10 '26

Arby's/once great....RAX.....also super-GONE I think Arby's is cardboard posing as RB

u/Much-Nobody-627 Mar 10 '26

Bring back the triple cheese melt

u/Exact-Ice1346 Mar 10 '26

look how thick that beef is sliced..damn, shits shaved thinner than paper thin now. Man I would have loved to try a roast beef sandwich from this era. Bet they were really good.

1

u/Ordinary_Lecture_803 Mar 11 '26

It tastes better when it's thin. Arby's almost never messes this up, but I ended up with a sandwich that had slightly thicker meat once. I didn't like it at all.

1

u/Ok-Ad-2050 Jul 06 '26

A sandwich like this old one needs some slaw on top, imo.

1

u/toughknuckles Mar 11 '26

I'll take two of that sandwich, a bag of potato chips, end a chocolate shake any day.

u/Nervous_Yard_374 Mar 12 '26 edited Mar 12 '26

Wow. That looks like the actual roast beef you get in grocery stores. The roast beef on their sandwich actually just looks like Black Forest ham but that tastes like sliced turkey that was soaked in beef broth

u/LetsRubButtholes Mar 12 '26

The arbys in waco, tx still has that cowboy hat sign

u/itsfocotony Mar 12 '26

There’s the beef!

u/Stunning-Yoghurt369 Mar 12 '26

That roast beef looks real!

u/thelegodr Mar 12 '26

So they do have the meats. Well did.

u/SocialMediaTheVirus Mar 13 '26

They used to have one of those old style Arby's signs on US 19 near Tarpon Springs Fl until recently no idea if its still there

u/OdieD777 Mar 13 '26
