It is finally time for this opinion to be made completely public. Again and again, I have fought this battle. Let me say it plainly: Arby’s is the best fast-food restaurant. Most would consider this an impossible position to defend but I am simply living the truth. I will now explain to you why I hold this belief.
First and foremost, it is unique. There is not a single food chain like it. McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King are all essentially the same restaurant. Taco Bell used to have Taco Time to keep it company. It still has Costa Vida.
But Arby’s? Who is there to give comfort on a cold dark winter night? Nobody. Arby’s stands alone. It is strong enough to. You can’t get anything like the Classic Beef n’ Cheddar anywhere else and don’t even try looking for Greek gyros at Little Caesar’s.
Next is the quality of the food. Delicious. Delectable. The bread is interesting and varies with the different items and the range of different available meats makes it so you always have an option. The chicken is good and never disappointing, it has the perfect ratio between crispiness and tender chicken. The French Dip and Swiss is a favorite among me and my Arby’s-going companions when we visit for lunch
Finally, the condition of the store. It’s always a win-win. Let me explain. Typically, at local restaurants, the worse the condition of the building, the better the food is. For some odd reason, Arby’s operates under the same magic. So, if you go to an Arby’s and the place is in shambles then you know the food will be extra tasty. If the store is clean and functional then you get a nice experience.
I’ll see you all at Arby’s next hour lunch.

This might be one of the worst hot takes I’ve ever seen. Once in a blue moon, I come across a fast-food place so diabolical, disgusting, and unsavory that it makes me question its existence. According to Yelp, Arby’s has received two health violations due to poor sanitation and undercooked food. Have you ever seen an Arby’s packed with people? No, because no one unironically wakes up and says, “Let’s go to Arby’s!” With all of these issues no wonder Arby’s has ZERO loyal customers.
