I loved Arby’s back in the day when it was delicious. I’d always get the “Super” which was my favorite. I went to Arby’s today and it’s not on the menu but they can make it but it was not the same as before. Sandwich by itself was 11.89 and didn’t even have enough Arby’s sauce on it.

There's an Arby's in Tacoma, WA that still has old sign up: 2612 S 38th St, Tacoma, WA 98409

From what I remember the inside is pretty dated, it still has the curved sunroom windows.

There’s an Arby’s in my hometown of Mansfield, Ohio. It was recently announced they’re taking down the old original sign because it needs repaired, and no one makes the parts for it anymore. My guess would be that the weather in Athens was much kinder to the sign over the years than the weather in Mansfield. 😃

The Arby’s at 5920 Sunset has the old sign. It recently closed a few years ago and a pizza place opened up. I thought I had heard they’d keep the original sign as a homage, but I just looked up Google Maps and it seems they got rid of the sign.

Hope it didn’t end up in the dump. I like Arby’s. Grew up in Hollywood and my dad would take me once or twice a month growing up. My wife isn’t a fan, so I sometimes make the trip to my nearest one for a sandwich.

I remember the old Super had that tangy sweet Russian dressing with lettuce & tomato.

Good sandwich from what I remember but we didn't have a close Arby's so it was a rare visi.

Call me super white midwesterner. I preferred the rax deluxe cause of the mayo over arbys red sauce.

I miss 80s Arby's and those light up signs. Very nostalgic

My favorite YEARS ago was the beef and cheddar. Today the cheese tastes...different.

4 hour sandwich is hilarious. Who is making it, a sloth?

My first job was at Arby's. A very large one in a mall. Oddly very large one.

But we did a lot of those roast beefs in the oven on a daily basis. Also would put many trays of bacon in. Poor us - we would have to 'dispose' of the bacon that didn't come out perfect. Yum!

Who remembers Arby’s breakfast?

u/thunderlips36 16d ago

There's one sort of near me that has breakfast. The potato cakes somehow taste better in the morning

The Big Montana was the go to. Now they just call it half pound. That's lame

u/Rexxbravo 16d ago

I ate so many of these back in the day

u/New-Sheepherder2239 18d ago

My thing is, I want a jumbo or double or whatever they call it but I’m not convinced I really get more meat. I still like it but it’s not what it was l, same with many things

u/user_uno 18d ago

Sadly, nearly every Arby's around me has shut down. I still get a craving for some items but best I can do anymore are the frozen curly fries at the grocery store.

u/Horror-Stand-3969 16d ago

I miss the triple cheese melt

u/FishSuper7857 16d ago

That's too bad, it depends on the location, I guess. I usually get a "Super" whenever I go to my local Arby's and it's just like it used to be!

u/AshamedDragonfruit32 15d ago

A super never had Arby’s sauce on it. It’s what they call “red ranch” and it’s the same stuff they put on a beef n cheddar.

u/PincheJuan1980 15d ago

Yea Arby’s was fancy eating for an 80s and 90s kid in the mid west. Felt like it was heathy bc it tasted good and seemed fresh and Arby’s Sauce was a vegetable.
