"Arby's Roastburgers" Topic

Are these any healthier for you than a regular burger?

How is it different from a regular Arby's sandwich?

(They were giving away a free Roastburger today with purchase of a drink…)

Don't even mention Arby's. I love 'em, and the last one in the Valley went away a few years ago.

How is a sandwich made with oven-roasted, thinly sliced beef different from a sandwich made with thinly-sliced, oven-roasted beef? (Both descriptions from the Arby's Web site.) Hmmm..

It's the toppings. "Regular" Arby's sandwiches don't have any.

I guess the closest to a Roastburger would be an Arby's Super Roast Beef Sandwich, combining "our oven-roasted beef with green leaf lettuce and ripe tomatoes, all topped with a zesty red sauce on a toasty sesame bun".

The All-American Roastburger is "Piled high with oven-roasted, thinly sliced beef, fresh lettuce, ripe tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, and our tantalizing special sauce."

Or you can get it with bacon and cheddar, or with bacon and a blue cheese spread.

Healthier than a regular burger?

The All-American has 420 calories, 170 calories from fat, 18 grams of fat, 6 grams sat fat, 1 gram trans fat, and 40 mg cholesterol for 19 grams of protein.

In comparison, a Jack-in-the Box Jumbo Jack has 600 calories, 310 calories from fat, 35 grams of fat, 12 grams of sat fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, and 45 mg cholestrol for 21 grams of protein.

Arby's would definitely be less fatty. Compared to a Jumbo Jack, even the Arby's with bacon and cheeses look good.

I think they are just the roastbeef sandwichs with different toppings. If you like Arby's you'll like the Roastburger, if you don't like Arby's you probably aren't going to like the sandwich.

Unless you're the type of person that likes anythi ng that's free regardless of how you'd rate it if you had to pay for it.

And I just finished a Jumbo Jack and fries. Oh well.

Don't get me wrong: I love Jumbo Jacks. Especially since with a local school promotion card, you can get two for $1.61, tax included. Cheap fuel.

How can you Californians even discuss other brands of fast food when the uncaring and capricious universe has chosen to bless you, dwellers in an inhospitable, highly flamable waterless coastal desert, with the incomparable In and Out Burger while other, more deserving coasts, have nothing even close?

We don't have Jack in the Box here. Just the commercials.

In 'N' Out Burger don't do onion rings. I was sent on a mission to obtain onion rings the other day, and had to go to Carl's Jr. for them (note: give the new fried burritos a pass; they're average at best).

Jack in the Box is right next to the bank and close to the markets, so is a good place to get a quick refuel for the missus before heading 30 miles to her medical appointments: do the local errands, get two Jumbo Jacks, and hit the road.

"In N Out Burger" a proud subsidiary of "Eat, Sit and Go!" Restaurants!

In N Out Burger is "fast" food? Coulda fooled me…

do the local errands, get two Jumbo Jacks, and hit the road.

And what does she have?

One.

had one the other day with the blue cheese and bacon but sans lettuce--enjoyed it.

I worked for Arbys a loooong time ago- I dont know how they can call it roast beef. It looks like cookie dough that was nozzled into a plastic pouch before they bake it.
