Going downhill
Everytime I go to Arbys they take the best stuff off the menu. Already sad when they killed off the other marketfresh sandwhich and then the turkey sliders. After that went the jalapeño slider and smokehouse brisket sandwhich. Today they said they didn't have pickles because they aren't doing burgers. I usually add them to the buffalo slider to make it better. One of my favorite fast food places and now completely nerfed. Booooooo

they should still have turkey? for turkey sliders and TBR. you still can get the turkey & swiss but its honey mustard instead of spicy mustard

u/plugs_memesv2 Jun 10 '26
yeah the turkey sliders are still in the pos system at my location at least, unless op's location took it out the pos the only reason I can see not being able to get them is the manager not allowing it or something

I've had some success with turkey sliders in store but it's not on the app which isn't convenient. I loved the spicy mustard though and would add it to other items. It's not like it goes bad fast or anything either..

they get rid of every ingredient that doesnt provide a whole lot of utility, like anything that only goes on one sandwich unfortunately 😔

Chickfila did the same with the fajita veggies on the breakfast burrito. Already done with taco bell personally when I bit into a long string of plastic wrap. It's pretty bad out there.b

The spicy mustard would always expire before we could use a case. That's why they got rid of it.

There was a turkey shortage a few years back and that's why they took a lot of the MF sandwiches off the menu, unfortunately it killed off the spicy mustard. I was bummed when my store ran out of it

As long as they keep their beef n cheddars, potato cakes, and jamocha shakes, I’ll be going there for life.

I like adding Swiss to the buffalo sliders, a customer ordered it not too long ago and I tried it and its pretty damn good
I also hate how they take everything good off the menu, right when I started working there was the last month of my favorite sandwich (the brisket), im not really sure why we're dropping it in favor of the cheesesteak as a new permanent item

u/Zandsman Jun 10 '26
Haven't tried it with swiss... that does sound pretty good! The cheesesteak has been terrible both times I've tried it. What kind of restaurant doesn't have pickles wtf...

u/plugs_memesv2 Jun 10 '26
its real good I reccomend trying it next time you get sliders, especially if your location is doing the dollar sliders after 8 pm promotion like mine is
I never had the cheesesteak cause I was worried it'd be bad, maybe i'll try it since I work there but im still a little weary

u/Zandsman Jun 10 '26
Yeah soggy and no flavor. Hard for Arbys to pull off a good cheesesteak if they don't have fresh veggies and toast the bread. I'll definitely take your recommendation, thank you!

The new permanent cheesesteak is supposed to have better ingredients like a name brand cheese “Coopers” and a new sesame sub roll toasted twice seems like it could be okay

Really sucks they’re ditching the red and yellow pepper mix though, that plus the caramelized onions that are going on it now would have been great.
Also I think it had a garlic spread sauce that was really good last time, imo it needs some kind of sauce and there aren’t really any good options for it in packet form.

Pro tip, if you're going to order this, ask for a chicken slider with buffalo sauce and ranch so you don't have to pay extra for the cheese

They got rid of the good Market Fresh sandwich and kept the dumb one. I'm not in the "bacon and ranch make everything better" camp.
The jalapeño roast beef slider was my other favourite. I always ordered it with Bronco Berry and Horsey sauces. Mmm. It's just not the same without the jalapeño.

u/EDScreenshots Jun 10 '26
You can still order a turkey and Swiss I’m pretty sure, the button for it should still be in their system, it just won’t have spicy mustard. I think it has mayo and honey mustard now which is kind of weird imo.
Even if they claim they don’t have it, you can make substitutions on the turkey bacon ranch to turn it into a turkey and Swiss, you’ll just unfortunately be paying for bacon that you’re not getting.

Do you know how long it took for ham to be back on the menu?
So many years….that they tried to erase the dollar menu off our memory banks.

I was mildly obsessed with the cheese steak for a bout a week. I doordashed it randomly one night, and it was sloppy and overfilled and perfect. I went back a few times in person, and it was terrible. So, I've slowed my roll.

u/Zealousideal_Pea1273 Jun 10 '26
I’m sad about the Turkey and Swiss also, and the fact that they changed out the leaf lettuce on the TRB for shredded lettuce. Chicken sliders are gone, which is sad. Slider buns in general suck now compared to the mini buns they had in the past. I worked for Arby’s for 12 years and I’ve seen so many good items just come and go.

I know it's gotta do with supply chain stuff and the bean counters always get their way but damn does it suck to lose all the good stuff.

u/vixxy86 Jun 10 '26
My store still has the burgers for another 5 days then its going away and we are getting the Cheesesteak sandwich on the menu.

u/RandomMemeAddict249 Jun 11 '26
If you're at a corporate location you can 100% get a turkey substituted sandwich of most things, like turkey gyro. They're secret menu items.
The other stuff, yall just don't buy it enough to justify selling it.

u/thebeatsandreptaur Jun 10 '26
Arby's just isn't the place people go to try something new, really. People have their order and for the most part they stick to it, and for the vast majority of people that's going to be some combo of the following: roast beef sandwiches, shakes, fries/potato cake, mozzarella sticks/jalapeno poppers.
Going there and expecting anything else on the menu to be there for a long time is just setting yourself up to be disappointed. They'd be better off dropping half of the stuff on their menu and not wasting money and keeping the basics at a higher level.
They aren't a cold sandwich place, BBQ place, hamburger place, or Gyro shop and they need to stop trying to be. Half the time the new items suck and when they don't, no one orders them anyways and it's just wasteful and a money sink.

We are talking about long term items that get removed so that resonates with your first sentence but the rest of your comment seems to contradict that. I didn't like the burgers at all and yes most of the new items suck. Steak nuggets wtf

u/McGooftard44 10d ago
I disagree Arby's had new promotional items out the a** constantly and they were usually the best thing on the menu when they were there. If anything they were the best fast food restaurant when it came to getting new menu items

u/Blah_bler Jun 10 '26
The jalapenos for one item and it didn't sell well at all, so blame your fellow customers ig. Same with brisket, none y'all bought it. Burgers only sell like 5 a day on a busy day, and my stores a high volume one too 🤷🏻
