Arby's Roast Beef Menu

Our signature slow-cooked, thinly sliced roast beef sandwiches piled high on toasted buns.

The Legend of Arby's Slow-Roasted Beef

Arby’s signature slow-roasted beef is cooked in our kitchens for up to 4 hours to lock in natural juices and flavor. Once cooked, the beef is carved fresh to order, slicing it thin to stack it high. This meticulous attention to detail creates a juicy, tender texture that sets Arby's apart from standard quick-service burgers. The beef is layered to create a height and texture that melts in your mouth, utilizing USDA Choice beef rounds seasoned with a proprietary blend of spices.

For a classic meal, the Classic Roast Beef provides a simple, savory slice on a toasted sesame seed bun. If you are looking to spice up your sandwich, check out our zesty Horsey Sauce or our signature Red Ranch dressing, which pairs perfectly with cheese sauce. If you want something even more filling, consider pairing your meal with zesty curly fries from our Arby's Sides Menu or a refreshing lemonade from our Arby's Drinks Menu.


Nutritional Profile & Dietary Customization

Arby's slow-roasted beef is highly versatile for various dietary preferences. If you are following a low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle, you can order any of these sandwiches without the bun, transforming it into a high-protein, low-carb platter. The beef rounds contain zero added sugars and provide rich protein. However, those watching sodium intake should check the exact counts using our Nutrition Calculator, as sliced deli meats are naturally high in sodium.

Menu Highlights & Taste Profiles

Classic Roast Beef

Simple, tender, and piled high on a toasted sesame seed bun. This is the sandwich that started it all in 1964. It is delicious on its own, but we highly recommend adding a squeeze of Arby's Sauce or zesty Horsey Sauce at the condiment station.
