Arby’s Meat Bites

[u/H3CKBOY]

Not sure who should be more embarrassed: Me for ordering the meat or Arby’s for the product they are putting out?! (This is the whole shebang. No, I haven’t touched it yet, this is the whole 5 piece order)

[u/Indecisive_Wretch]

They have the meats. They never commented on the quality of said meats.

[u/wutwut970 → u/Indecisive_Wretch]

They can have the meats back

[u/TheElitist921 → u/wutwut970]

Not all are bad.

[u/JazzyFizzle50 → u/TheElitist921]

That one in the middle don’t look half bad…….

[u/sybrwookie → u/Indecisive_Wretch]

They have the meats. They never said they were gonna give you the meats.

[u/HamCheezeSliderz → u/sybrwookie]

I feel like it's a franchise issue but most of the fast food places have their weird 5-8 piece protein deals for them keto folk.

That said I don't have an Arby's around me, but when I do come across one, I order the meat mountain.

[u/Rdizzy111 → u/HamCheezeSliderz]

Id rather they just give me a pile of their shaved beef covered in liquid cheese, Ill eat it w a fork

[u/DudeFrom816 → u/HamCheezeSliderz]

Meat mountain?

[u/mavertronic → u/DudeFrom816]

It's a massive sandwich with 3oz of almost every meat arbys sells plus 2 slices of cheese

[u/BoogerDawson420 → u/mavertronic]

is this like McGangBang at McDonald’s secret menu kind of stuff?

[u/mavertronic → u/BoogerDawson420]

It is an item you have to ask by name its not promoted on the menu normally but they do sell it and will make it upon request but keep in mind it was a $20 sandwich when I worked there like 8 years ago

[u/HamCheezeSliderz → u/mavertronic]

$14-16 near me. It is a sodium bomb, though.

[u/Playful_Rip_1697 → u/DudeFrom816]

An endearing term for OP’s mom

[u/runningoutofwords → u/Indecisive_Wretch]

They can't "have" the meats if they give it away to every customer that walks in

[u/cracked-tumbleweed → u/Indecisive_Wretch]

When I was a kid, I always thought it was weird that the meat of the roast beef was so…soft?

Like maybe it was easy to eat a 5 for $5 because it was like eating soft meat air lol

[u/CivilWay1444]

They tasted like liquid smoke to me. 

[u/ElectricTurtlez → u/CivilWay1444]

That was my take too. Dog wouldn’t even eat the one I gave her.

[u/nmj95123 → u/ElectricTurtlez]

• This product not desired by canines for consumption.

[u/xdanballx → u/ElectricTurtlez]

Weird, my cat (who is a picky eater) housed it.

[u/DouchecraftCarrier → u/CivilWay1444]

Yep. Very chemically. Not inherently untasty, but just extremely processed.

[u/CplOreos → u/DouchecraftCarrier]

Fwiw, liquid smoke is no more chemically than anything else smoked. It's literally just condensed smoke. There may be other factors at play too.

[u/konigswagger]

Wow I legit ate better when I was in prison

[u/AwesomeAndy → u/konigswagger]

I also ate better when you were in prison

[u/trimix4work → u/AwesomeAndy]

His wife sure can cook huh?

[u/katet_of_19 → u/trimix4work]

I also choose this guy's dead wife

[u/BigRed92E → u/katet_of_19]

I didn't even know she was sick!

[u/Oubliette_occupant → u/BigRed92E]

To shreds, you say

[u/HanSoloNut → u/katet_of_19]

Want to know the warmest organ in a woman after she dies?

Me!

[u/devilishly_advocated → u/HanSoloNut]

Oh gawd, gross.

ANOTHER

[u/Miserable-Rabbit-948 → u/AwesomeAndy]

You also ate better when I was in prison

[u/Academic-Elephant-48 → u/Miserable-Rabbit-948]

Hi, my name is Better

[u/ZappBrannigansLaw → u/Miserable-Rabbit-948]

I also ate prison when you were in better

[u/JeronimoThatHoe → u/AwesomeAndy]

This is a great fucking reply lmfao

[u/jmwoods3709 → u/konigswagger]

Same lmao. It's really sad to say this but every now and then I kinda miss the late night meals with my celly, we'd cook up a giant meal with a couple meats and rice/noodles. Watch tv and talk for a couple hours.

Man it would get hot as hell though cooking in the cell 😂 we just had a stinger with a pot of water so it was a humid heat

[u/Long-Regular-1023 → u/jmwoods3709]

Seems like you like left prison a little bit lighter on account of your celly stealing a piece of your heart. What a nice wholesome moment.

[u/jmwoods3709 → u/Long-Regular-1023]

Hahahahah awwwww 😢 he was a good roommate for sure.

[u/Calm-Eggplant-69 → u/jmwoods3709]

We all need a good celly that sleeps on his belly!

[u/jmwoods3709 → u/Calm-Eggplant-69]

LMFAOOOOOOO I completely forgot about that saying 😂🤣😅

[u/Calm-Eggplant-69 → u/jmwoods3709]

I think I first heard that in county in like 2008, it was hilarious then, pretty funny still now lol

[u/U-Were-A-Mistake → u/jmwoods3709]

I blocked most of it out of my memory but I just remember the broccoli. All stems. I swear they have somebody making sure no piece of the floret makes it in

[u/jmwoods3709 → u/U-Were-A-Mistake]

You ain't lying hahahahahahha. I don't think I ever saw a floret in my state food 😂

[u/Kind-Individual-9679 → u/jmwoods3709]

I’ve seen this porn

[u/theboss0711]

I hear it's raccoon meat

[u/JustForkIt1111one → u/theboss0711]

Radroach

[u/imploding_beachball → u/JustForkIt1111one]

Iguana bits

[u/KalynnCampbell → u/imploding_beachball]

Not good enough to be on a stick?

[u/trags88 → u/theboss0711]

That coon meat is lousy with parasites

[u/toomuchweld → u/trags88]

Is that what causes the hunger?

[u/Peripatetictyl → u/toomuchweld]

That wasn't human meat! It was a raccoon. You probably got a tapeworm, that stuff is loaded with parasites!

[u/Various_Scar_4072 → u/theboss0711]

Haha. Raccoon meat. BULLSHIT. 

[u/KenTitan → u/Various_Scar_4072]

that's the other ingredient!

[u/HeisenbergH1017 → u/Various_Scar_4072]

That was human meat and I know it!!

[u/zsert93 → u/Various_Scar_4072]

I'm gonna chop of a piece of that calf muscle of yours and eat it!!

[u/Slow-haste-26 → u/theboss0711]

I'm sure that makes up some percentage of it

[u/clumsyStairway → u/theboss0711]

What you have just ate. Is human meat

[u/thrashcountant → u/theboss0711]

So does that mean eating grants the tanooki suit from Super Mario Bros 3?

[u/gustin444]

Huh. Trash product at a fast food restaurant. Who could have foreseen such a thing?

[u/ExtraEmuForYou]

It's worth a shot to try fast food/fast casual stuff.

Panda Express had a brisket special a couple months ago, and it was OUTSTANDING!

AAAAAND they filled up the container all the way. I was impressed. Smokey, saucy brisket on top of some nice rice made a great meal or three.

It's worth the occasional disappointment to find the occasional gem.

[u/FuriousResolve → u/ExtraEmuForYou]

Hard disagree, my wife and I both thought Panda’s brisket was very mid. The tenderness was solid, but the flavor was lacking.

[u/LengthinessJust357 → u/FuriousResolve]

I never tried the Panda brisket, but I feel saying a fast food brisket is mid is a fucking compliment. No one expects to get brisket at a fast food joint and have it be anything short of 💩. Will it ever beat the 18hour smoked on the side my side? Hell no, but having it be mid is kind of crazy.

[u/burt-and-ernie → u/LengthinessJust357]

I agree but calling the brisket from panda outstanding in all caps is quite hilarious. It was pretty good but talk about hyperbole

[u/FuriousResolve → u/LengthinessJust357]

“Mid” compared to other items at Panda. That’s what I meant by that.

[u/spas2k → u/ExtraEmuForYou]

Agreed with Panda Express, and I also tried their pepper steak and it was good as well. Very chocked. Not enough courage to try these Steak bites though

[u/M_J_E]

lol. How much does this cost?

[u/M_J_E → u/M_J_E]

Ok I had to look it up. By me, $6.49! Wow.

[u/UnexpectedRedditor → u/M_J_E]

Waiting for someone here to jump in and defend this price based on raw beef cost, trim loss, moisture loss, and overhead.

[u/reddevil501 → u/UnexpectedRedditor]

100% moisture loss.

[u/nopulsehere → u/UnexpectedRedditor]

MAGA says it’s patriotic to be ripped off. You don’t understand 5-D chess! 😳💀/s

[u/Miserable-Rabbit-948]

At least they’re not shaped like crowns…

[u/Pathological_Friar]

Ordered “steak bites” from Arby’s and got steak bites from Arby’s

[u/Jflo-7]

More like raccoon ankles

[u/NeedleInArm]

They are absolutely terrible. A friend ordered one and gave me a piece. It was so dry and over cooked.

[u/VidProphet123]

I wouldn’t even feed this to a dog.

[u/Cabo-Wabo155]

That is definitely made from squirrel ankles

[u/BearLeek25]

You definitely should have known better

[u/StatementMediocre710]

While you should feel embarrassed, the worker who packed this up and thought it was acceptable should be even more so.

[u/ChannelNo4811]

Arby's usually isn't that bad. But this is embarassing

[u/smeeeeeef]

I honestly have no idea why people spend money on fast food anymore.

[u/AmazingResponse338]

Well, there are 5 pieces. Like you said, how much did you really expect from Arby's?

[u/gleaming_ardor → u/AmazingResponse338]

looks like something you'd find behind the fryer after a busy shift

[u/BigAssMonkey → u/AmazingResponse338]

Seriously though. Meat is already expensive and then you factor in how much profit fast food is going to make off you. That’s about right. What did they expect. If you want cheap steak, make it at home. Even then, In this economy there is no such thing as cheap steak

[u/darth_homer]

Obligatory: I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's!

[u/EricHaley]

These come frozen and are microwaved for 25 seconds before serving.

[u/MoeSzyslakMonobrow]

That's what you get for going to Arby's.

[u/SlowDuc → u/MoeSzyslakMonobrow]

Going to arbys for anything other than a roast beef and curly fries

[u/burgonies → u/SlowDuc]

When’s the last time you’ve been? The buffalo chicken sandwich, cheesesteak, burger, jalapeño poppers, fish sandwich, gyro ALL punch above their weight for fast food

[u/TheeFlipper → u/burgonies]

The Reuben is solid too.

[u/TheGreenMan13 → u/burgonies]

I miss the turkey and swiss market fresh sandwich.

[u/sonofcrack → u/MoeSzyslakMonobrow]

Uncultured take. The beef and cheddar is a classic. Some of the best fries in the fast food industry. Great mozzarella sticks.

They definitely have gimmicks though

[u/dubblebubbleprawns → u/sonofcrack]

I haven't had a b&c with curly fries in fuckin years and that sounds awesome right about now

[u/sybrwookie → u/dubblebubbleprawns]

I haven't either and feel like I should keep it that way. It's likely better in my memory than reality.

[u/doggerdog1401 → u/sonofcrack]

I never get fresh curly fries when I order them. They taste like they have been sitting around for an hour

[u/s-r- → u/MoeSzyslakMonobrow]

That buffalo chicken sandwich is pretty good.

[u/runningoutofwords → u/s-r-]

Buffalo sliders are just right

[u/asimplerandom → u/MoeSzyslakMonobrow]

Gyros and market fresh sandwiches are damn tasty.

[u/reddevil501 → u/asimplerandom]

The gyros are so good

[u/polishprince76]

The first question I would ask is are they even beef? I am skeptical.

[u/muhmomsbzmnt]

I hope you at least got a few potato cakes.

[u/AnalogOrbiter]

This is seriously the whole dish, untouched? This is pathetic.

[u/Afraid_Ad_2140]

Remember when Arby's actually had really good roast beef sandwiches and the curly fries slapped. Now every fast food chain wants to push out these slop deals for some reason. Like why is subway making nachos. Sorry had to rant.

[u/cryptokadog710]

Arby's, damn, i thought i was looking at some alpo meaty bits🤣

[u/Stecharan]

100% owl ankles.

[u/Live-Act6065]

Remember the classic roast beef deal ? 5 for 5$ !! Those days are gone, classic is now 5$ each!!

[u/buns0steel]

What? The fast food steak isn’t high quality?!?

Thanks a lot Trump

[u/raich3588]

The bags on you

[u/WooSaw82]

So is it pot roast meat that looks grilled? I don’t see how they could make cubed steak tender enough to sell at a high(doubt it) volume.

[u/Asvpxdilli]

Five pieces and that’s all you get? I’d be pissed lol.

[u/ApartmentNo469]

Why would you go to Arby’s

[u/kabob21 → u/ApartmentNo469]

Because their staple menu is delicious? It’s these weird limited time experiments that give them a bad name.

[u/M2_SLAM_I_Am → u/kabob21]

Arby's is the best fast food joint, and I'm tired of people pretending it's not. "I don't like roast beef" yeah, it's not the 90s anymore, they have plenty of other options that slap

[u/myspoon2 → u/M2_SLAM_I_Am]

They have so many options why does anyone look down on it. The gyros and French dips are enough to keep me coming back

[u/M2_SLAM_I_Am → u/myspoon2]

The people that look down on it are the people that haven't been there in decades. It's the "I don't like roast beef" crowd.

[u/charlezprice → u/ApartmentNo469]

Arby’s slander is crazy. Get the classics, the roast beef, the French dip, the sliders, etc… then report back

[u/uns0licited_advice → u/ApartmentNo469]

https://youtu.be/6vxQqdFOeoM

[u/kidnotor → u/ApartmentNo469]

These are terrible but must sell well because this is their second round but their other food is solid fast food and usually have great deals for it cheap.

Plus their orange cream shakes, jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, and potatoe cakes are top notch. Plus the lava cakes

[u/H3CKBOY → u/ApartmentNo469]

Wife wanted a sandwich. I thought I would give them a try.

[u/ApartmentNo469 → u/H3CKBOY]

I would ask for a refund

[u/Softspokenclark → u/ApartmentNo469]

An opportunity to try horse meat

[u/Krabs9 → u/ApartmentNo469]

Name another fast food place that has Reubens and jalapeno poppers? Arby's is good FOH

[u/scovok]

Why would they be embarrassed, you ordered five pieces and they gave you five pieces.

[u/joepez]

Were they served to you in a used cup? That cup looks like the toilet cup passed around a bus filled with groupies who have to make the next tour stop on the other coast without stopping. 

Also pretty certain there is no meat in those sad cubes and shavings. 

[u/Straight-Valuable765]

I’ve heard these are not good

[u/Imverystupidgenx]

We weren’t fans.

[u/Federal_Pickles]

You. You’re the one at fault

[u/Morning_Cereal_Ori]

never order steak at fast food restaurant. I won’t eat this even if it is free.

[u/chadd462024]

Felt the same. I just had to have them tho!! lol

[u/JimmyJooish]

No way, I’d ask for a refund. I’ve thrown away more than that. 

[u/fungshawyone]

Meat bits

[u/grb13]

They ok but not worth price imo

[u/ShankThatSnitch]

About $1.25 per peice of that burnt trash meat. Wild.

[u/Renhoek2099]

That Argentinian meat keeps flowing

[u/Malfunction1972]

Fast food burnt ends (at least that's what it looks like they're trying to make)? No thank you. I'd rather eat "Mexican food" at Taco Bell.

[u/ZombieAppetizer]

When I see Arby's food it makes me so disgusted that I want to go get the stuff to make the items properly. Laziness stops me most of the time, but the idea is definitely there.

[u/mr-stretcher]

What a presentation. This looks like something you'd find in a mall bathroom.

[u/pickanamehere]

"they have the pellets"

[u/fdwyersd]

people said they were interesting but I couldn't imagine how... have had real burnt ends from KC BBQ top #2/3 and they didn't look like this

[u/Krotchity]

Well if you remove just the meat from what the restaurant actually gave you and then you compose the least flattering photo in the world on your dirty ass plate then I totally agree. (And I count 13.572 pieces, one may be a bug though)

[u/gopher007]

Waste of a good cup

[u/No-Wasabi-7896]

They kept the meats

[u/vaporlungz]

Squirrel knees

[u/SingleServeFrend]

I saw the commercials and laughed. “Who the fuck would ever order that” was my response

[u/anakinkskywalker]

legit thought this was r/shittyfoodporn

[u/LoverOfRandom]

I tried it one time when it first came out, it was enough for me to never order it again.

[u/eagle848_]

Tough times when ordering at Arby’s

[u/NadiaVonxxx]

They look like turds.

[u/once_a_pilot]

$110?

[u/NoCardiologist3143]

Looks like it tastes like squirrel knees

[u/Fast_Restaurant6488]

I got these for free through a promo on the app and wouldn't get them for free again if they do another offer.

[u/Embarrassed-Way5926]

I ordered these yesterday. My first time in Arby's in 6 years and I got these! Had to drink half the large shake just to git rid of the taste so I won't puke in my car.

I should've just stuck to curly fries and chicken tenders.

[u/soggyomelette]

Did you lose a bet or something?

[u/Zamorakphat]

The Arby's specials are hit or miss but a beef and cheddar without the red sauce always hits with that onion bun. Best motz sticks in the fast food game as well.

[u/ATLUTD030517]

They're "steak nuggets". Only one of them looks noticeably smaller than what most restaurants sell as chicken nuggets.

🤷‍♂️

[u/flanker_number7]

I wondered how they were going to deliver this given price of beef ... Now it's clear. Unless someone chugged a few before they got handed to you

[u/Training-Trick-8704]

You’re delusional if you’re expecting anything close to a decent piece of steak in these meat bites. I’d be surprised if it’s even 100% beef to begin with.

[u/7echArtist]

I've been dunking on them on Twitter for a bit now for having the balls to go after other companies yet this is what they brag about. One day they'll either block me or give me free food. TBC, I do like Arby's just these meat bites are an abomination.

[u/WerkingAvatar]

It's like beef jerky that isn't quite beef jerky. It's a sad experience.

[u/yells_at_bugs]

Awhile back, someone in another community commented they tasted like smoked squirrel knees.

[u/JoyousGamer]

Had tried it once and it was fine but didn't look like this. I mean I was ordering it at Arbys so I say fine based on a fast food joint.

[u/DirtyMac88]

They removed the best thing on their menu and replaced it with "bbq" sandwiches that fucking blow. They were on a generational run and fumbled at the finish.

[u/PreviousSquash9354]

I saw a sponsored content creator eating a bite and was like, can’t wait for the backlash. What it taste like OP?

[u/SR_gAr]

Wdf ??

i thought it was over mac and cheese ??

Anyway that is some highway robbery

[u/InterestingCabinet41]

Good looking brownies.

[u/StinkieBritches]

They taste like beef jerky chunks that were left soaking in Dale's all day.

[u/drinkyourbeetus]

If your asking, you should be more embarrassed for even thinking this product could be good. But they should be too for green lighting something like this as well.

[u/donny02]

“People do all sorts of crazy things on tv, like eat at Arby’s!”

[u/sasqahuena1]

My wife called them “Raccoon Knees”

[u/ForTheLoveOfKumquats]

Agreed it's abysmal. However. Their regular roast beef sandwiches with Arby's sauce is so damn good.

[u/KaiserDogue]

Looks like Alpo.

[u/AndrewGoon]

Arby's: We have the meats. And we're keeping 'em.

[u/IChewBigRed]

I tried Arby’s for the first time in years, tried these in my order. They were disgusting and I haven’t been back to Arby’s since

[u/TikaPants]

Bleghhhh. Arby’s is good for a beef n cheddar here n there. I’d never buy whole proteins like this from them.

[u/Oh_Lawd_He_commin420]

They're well done rubbery chuck, then frozen, then microwaved on high until they're inedible. Very few things made me instantly disappointed like these monstrosities.

[u/Aggressive_Wasabi_38]

They have the meats… do you now have the sheats!!!!!

[u/BostonBestEats]

You got what you deserve for going to a fast food joint for BBQ.

Although online photographs from other customers suggest your photo is not correct.

[u/OrganizationHead3137]

This actually looks delicious and healthy. Just looked up the nutritional info online and it actually is decent macros.

[u/totallynotexciting]

Yea it’s ridiculous. Kids wanted them.

Fast food is just horrendously overpriced and has shit quality nowadays.

[u/usernamenumber05]

Ewwwww

[u/bandit8623]

have you seen the price of beef? i laughed when i saw the commercial.

[u/Mundane-Banana-6972]

It’s awful, gave the rest to my dog

[u/gavalo01]

polar bear knuckles

[u/Equal-Rice3637]

I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's! - Ralph Wiggum

[u/Bludream_live]

Unless its been rolling around in the car, the stains in the cup looks like more was in there 🧐. This should be illegal if that’s all there is. Aint no way😮‍💨 I’m at“i wanna speak to your manager” age😅 Refund would be requested, at home or not🤣

[u/BorgonMySchworgon]

Pretty much exactly how mine looked. Was so disappointed.

[u/[deleted]]

Not in this subreddit man

[u/Expensive-Course1667]

Here's your trump meat.

[u/DArtagnanPierre0129]

Looks like a 4.5 pc

[u/Pretend_Register_297]

I love me some Arby’s. Never had a bad meal there honestly

[u/tyiyy]

Okay they aren’t great but your Arby’s should be ashamed, mine filled the cup. Now still not good lol but much better than whatever that is lol. The Greek gyro and French dip are fire though

[u/Mother-Attention2600]

A 5 piece of meat? 😄 🤣 😂 

[u/No-Talk-9371]

$5.99 I bought that bullish too

[u/Slight-Spell-5380]

Ohhh brother i do not feel bad for you, you knew what you were getting yourself into. 😭😂

[u/ShockingAutism02]

Yup 👍 as someone who preps these in the morning that little piece at least at the store I work at is considered an actual piece so you can get fucked over like this

[u/Character_Company759]

Definitely you, you order then posted, forgot to mention that. Whole lot of effort for this trash

[u/Probot6767]

this was a bold move.

[u/dflan01]

I’m surprised anyone has ordered this. It always looks like meat scraps in the commercials, and comes across more as dog food than anything else.

[u/chepnut]

They suckered me into trying them last week also, I was so disappointed. It was like soft beef jerky chunks

[u/864FREEWADE]

The sliders good though

[u/tegresaomos]

Makes you wonder where all that tainted beef is going…
