Arby’s is arguably one of the best sandwich chains in all of America. With a ton of great menu items already being offered, you gotta wonder what else could they possibly have that would make your dining experience even better? This is where their secret menu comes in.
Most of the ingredients for Arby’s secret menu are readily available at any branch all year round. You just gotta get creative and learn how to ask for the right items.
So to help you out the next time you’re at Arby’s, here are the top 15 Arby’s secret menu hacks.
15. Ultimate BLT Sandwich
Ultimate doesn’t even begin to describe this packed BLT Sandwich. Back in 2002, Arby’s came out with the Ultimate BLT sandwich but sadly has been removed from their menu for quite a while. But don’t worry, you can get your hands on this sandwich simply by asking for it. Most Arby’s will have everything you want for an Ultimate BLT Sandwich.
How to order: You can ask for an Ultimate BLT Sandwich. If they don’t know what that is, then just order a sandwich on any bread you like with 5 strips of bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.
14. Bacon Mac & Cheese
Okay this one is a little rare. Mac & Cheese aren’t always available on Arby’s menu but when they are, they usually come as is: just melted cheese on macaroni noodles. Interested in leveling this up? Why not add bacon bits? Most of Arby’s regular menu items feature bacon anyway so you bet that they have bacon on hand all the time.
How to order: Order a regular Mac & Cheese and ask to have bacon crushed or sliced up on top of your meal. If they won’t allow it, just ask to have bacon on the side and mix it up yourself.
13. Bacon Beef & Cheddar Sandwich
Wait, you can get beef, cheese, AND bacon in one sandwich? In Arby’s, you definitely can! This might seem like a simple menu but anyone who’s ever had this sandwich will tell you that its greatness lies behind its simplicity. The best part is that bacon is available all the time at Arby’s so you can pretty much order this whenever and wherever you’re at the fast food chain.
How to order: Order a Beef & Cheddar Sandwich with Bacon on top or on the side, depending on your preference.
12. Ham & Swiss Sandwich
Honestly, we’re a little surprised that this is on Arby’s secret menu. It’s such a basic pairing that most sandwich shops will probably have this item readily available. The Ham & Swiss sandwich is basically a roast ham with swiss cheese on top sandwiched between your bread of choice. You can’t possibly name a better combo than that. Or can you? Well, if you keep on reading, you just might.
How to order: You can ask for a Ham & Swiss by name. If they don’t recognize it, you can ask for roasted ham and swiss cheese on honey wheat bread. You can make it even better by adding lettuce, onions, spicy brown honey mustard, and mayonnaise.
11. French Dip Max
A French Dip is a sandwich that contains slices of roast beef sandwiched between a baguette. Arby’s version of a French Dip is just that but with Swiss cheese. While that sandwich is good on its own, do you have any idea how to take it to the max? Just ask for extra roast beef! The French Dip Max truly lives up to its name and will really do wonders curbing that roast beef craving you might have.
How to order: Order a regular French Dip & Swiss then ask for extra roast beef to your liking.
10. Chicago-Style Beef Dip
Just like the French Dip, this sandwich consists of roast beef in between a french roll. But unlike the French Dip, the Chicago-Style Beef Dip gives you a taste of the sandwich culture they have over at the Windy City. With peppers and seasonings to elevate your typical Beef Dip, this delicious sandwich is a must try from Arby’s secret menu.
How to order: To order this sandwich, order a regular French Dip & Swiss plus banana peppers, roasted peppers, and Arby’s trademark Italian seasonings.
9. Super Roast Beef Sandwich
The Roast Beef Sandwich is an Arby’s classic. It’s one of those sandwiches that have stood the test of time and remains to this day one of the best things that you can eat at Arby’s. But did you know, you can make it better by making a few little tweaks to your order? That’s right, turn your Roast Beef Sandwich into a Super Roast Beef Sandwich by adding red ranch sauce, lettuce, and tomatoes on top of 3 oz of roast beef in between a sesame seed bun.
How to order: This item is available at most locations and you can order it by name. But in case they don’t know what it is, just ask for a Roast Beef Sandwich then add tomatoes, lettuce, and red ranch sauce. You can also add a touch of mayo for extra flavors.
8. Double Stacked Reuben
Just like the Roast Beef Sandwich, a Reuben Sandwich is a fan favorite and is a pretty common item that you can find in most sandwich shops. But there’s a reason why Arby’s often find themselves at the top of most sandwich chains. And that reason is because of their willingness to double up on everything they have. So here’s the Double Stacked Reuben. It has everything you love from a Reuben Sandwich but with DOUBLE the corned beef. That’s over 7 ounces of meat! Top it all off with swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing.
How to order: Just order a Reuben and have them double the meat of your choice. You can go double corned beef or even half corned beef and half turkey!
7. Roast Beef & Swiss Sandwich
Okay we’ve had the Super Roast Beef Sandwich here on this list. You have to think that that’s as far as we can go with the Roast Beef, right? Well not exactly. There’s one more menu hack to further elevate your Roast Beef Sandwich. Ready? You add swiss cheese. It’s as simple as that. Arby’s swiss cheese has to be the best on the market and you can’t go wrong with adding it onto your regular Roast Beef Sandwich.
How to order: Simply ask for a Roast Beef Sandwich and ask to have swiss cheese added.
6. Turkey & Cheddar Sandwich
If you’re looking for a lower calorie alternative to the Beef & Cheddar Sandwich, you can swap out the beef for some turkey and you’ll have this delicious protein filled meal. To make this even better, you can add red ranch sauce, melted cheddar cheese, some bacon, and have it on an onion roll instead of a sesame filled bun.
How to order: To order a Turkey & Cheddar Sandwich, simply ask to have a Beef & Cheddar Sandwich but replace the beef with slices of turkey. You can opt to add other sauces, veggies, and meat on your choice of bread.
5. Jr. Deluxe
In line with the Turkey & Cheddar Sandwich, here’s another secret meal from Arby’s that’s light on calories but still big on taste. The best way to describe a Jr. Deluxe is to imagine a smaller Roast Beef Sandwich with more veggies. It gives you a lighter, fresher taste to what you could typically order at Arby’s.
How to order: To order a Jr. Deluxe, just order a Jr. Roast Beef Sandwich but with lettuce and tomatoes.
4. Onion Tanglers
Here’s something that some of you may not know about. Onion Tanglers are basically onion rings but these aren’t available on Arby’s standard menu. Onion Tanglers are only available on Arby’s Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich. Unless you specifically ask for it. If you want deep fried onion rings or onion bits to go with your sandwich you have to ask for it at Arby’s.
How to order: Ask for Onion Tanglers on the side or to have them included on your sandwich.
3. Meat Mountain
Now I know that we included this on our list of best secret menu items you should try, but it’s just too good not to include it on a list like this. Arby’s Meat Mountain is a literal mountain of meat that will definitely put you through a challenge. This massive sandwich contains chicken tenders, roast turkey, ham, brisket, corned beef, angus steak, bacon, swiss cheese, and cheddar cheese. There aren’t that many sandwiches that contain this much meat so if you’re up for it or just want to try something different, go ahead and get the Meat Mountain.
How to order: Simply ask for a Meat Mountain. If they happen to not know what this is, just ask for every type of meat they have along with swiss cheese and cheddar cheese sandwiched between your choice of bread.
2. Bread Swap
While not an actual menu item, this still falls under menu hacks. Did you know that you can actually choose any sort of bread or bun you want your sandwich to go on? That’s the beauty of Arby’s secret menu; there’s literally endless possibilities and countless combinations when you come up with a sandwich. So the next time you go to Arby’s try to swap the bread or bun on your sandwich into something that you want.
How to order: When ordering a sandwich, ask the staff to change the bread to either sesame seed buns, onion rolls, rye, brioche, honey wheat bread, or sub rolls.
1. Arby’s Melt
This is probably the best sandwich that Arby’s has ever had on their menu. It’s pretty simple, yes, but it’s still great. It was a fan favorite when it was first introduced but Arby’s decided to remove it from their menu. This left lots of fans wondering just why they would do this. But what they didn’t know is that this sandwich never left; it was just moved to their secret menu. So if you know how to ask, you can still get yourself an Arby’s Melt no problem.
How to order: Order a Roast Beef Sandwich with extra melted cheddar cheese on sesame seed buns.
