Arby’s is a popular destination for anyone looking for a hearty helping of meat—specifically the shaved roast beef the chain is known for. Indeed, it’s hard to have a catchphrase like “we have the meats” without backing it up with an impressive selection. And the Arby’s secret menu is no different. With secret menu items like the “Meat Mountain” and “Super Roast Beef Sandwich,” you know exactly what you’re getting at Arby’s.
The beauty of Arby’s secret menu is that it’s mostly made of modifications. That means you’re getting the beefy, hearty sandwiches you love, with a little extra that makes them even more savory and filling.
Official secret menu vs. customer creations?
Arby’s secret menu exists in a gray area. Most employees will know what you’re talking about when you order items from it, but there technically isn’t a secret menu. The good news is, if you’re trying to order a variation, most times it simply means making a substitution or addition to something already on the menu.
Our advice? Dive into the secret menu and order items by name. If you get a strange look, break it down for the cashier and they’ll be able to make your custom item without much issue. Just remember that you may have to pay extra for substitutions or additions.
The most popular Arby’s secret menu items
There are some big-time favorites on the Arby’s secret menu—and some big-sized orders! Here’s a look at some of the most popular customer creations and officially-unofficial meaty menu items from Arby’s:
- The Meat Mountain is far and away the most popular secret menu item. It’s a traditional roast beef sandwich that’s piled high with chicken tenders, Angus steak, roast turkey, ham, corned beef, brisket and bacon. It’s enough to feed an army and you’re going to have a heck of a time trying to wrap your mouth around it. We recommend taking it one meat at a time.
- The Ham and Swiss used to be a regular item at Arby’s; unfortunately, Arby’s culled it from the menu some time ago. The good news is, employees have all the ingredients they need to make it. It’s ham, swiss, lettuce and tomato, with spicy brown mustard and mayo. If you really want to go all-out, substitute roast beef for ham!
- The Ultimate BLT is another fan favorite that’s a former menu staple. It features honey wheat bread, Arby’s signature pepper bacon, tomatoes, lettuce and mayo. Get it with turkey to make it a club.
- The Super Roast Beef is simple, yet satisfying. Order a classic roast beef with a slice of cheddar cheese and double meat, and you’ll be tearing into a massive, meaty, delicious sandwich in no time. Add red ranch sauce for a truly heavenly experience.
There are other secret sandwiches floating around out there, but most just involve customizations and different toppings. For example, you could top your favorite sandwich with Mozzarella Sticks and Spicy Buffalo Sauce for an extra kick. You might even order one of their decadent shakes as a “dipping sauce” for your French fries. Several discontinued sandwiches are also secret menu favorites, like the once-famous Arby’s melt. When it comes to ordering delicious food from Arby’s, the possibilities are endless!
How to order from the hidden menu
The beauty of Arby’s secret menu is that it’s filled with customizations of classic sandwiches you know and love. Or, in the case of the Meat Mountain, a combination of them all! Don’t be afraid to tinker with options and customizations the next time you’re eating at Arby’s. You might accidently create a masterpiece! One thing’s for sure—it’s bound to be meaty.
