Meat Mountain Sandwich

Download Article

Try this behemoth to taste every meat on the Arby’s menu at once. Legend has it this carnivore’s dream started out as a joke—the Arby’s marketing team made a poster of an imaginary sandwich with all the meats on the menu, but customers believed it was real and started asking for it.^{[1]

- Cost: $10 (price may vary if you have to build it yourself)
- The Meat Mountain includes 2 chicken tenders, 1.5 oz (43 g) of roast turkey, 1.5 oz of ham, 1.5 oz of corned beef, 1.5 oz of brisket, 1.5 oz of Angus steak, 1.5 oz of roast beef, 3 half-strips of bacon, 1 slice of cheddar cheese, and 1 slice of Swiss cheese.

Ham N’ Swiss Sandwich

Name a better combo than ham and Swiss cheese—we’ll wait! If your cashier doesn’t recognize the Ham N' Swiss by name, don't worry—any Arby’s will have the ingredients for it. Just ask for ham and Swiss on a honey wheat bun with tomato, lettuce, mayo, and spicy brown mustard.^{[3]

- Cost: $3.99

Ultimate BLT Sandwich

Download Article

Relive the glory days when the BLT was on the regular menu. The Ultimate BLT debuted in 2002 but has since disappeared from Arby’s menu. Your nearest Arby’s definitely has the ingredients to make this classic sandwich, though—just ask for the Ultimate BLT. If your cashier doesn’t recognize the item, order a sandwich on any bread you like with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Feel free to customize it however you want!^{[4]

- Cost: $3.99
- The original Ultimate BLT came with 5 strips of bacon. Rumor has it that if you order it off the secret menu now, it comes with 8 strips (yes, please!).

Bacon Mac & Cheese

Download Article

Gobble this up if you need carbs and cheese (and just a little meat). Mac & cheese comes and goes on the Arby’s menu, so your local franchise may not have noodles on hand year-round. When they do offer it (like when they feature their limited-time-only White Cheddar Mac & Cheese), order it and ask for bacon on top for extra protein (and flavor!). If they won’t or can’t prepare it for you, ask for bacon on the side (it’s free) and crumble it on top yourself.^{[5]

- Cost: $3.29
- While you’re at it, why not order some chicken tenders and peppercorn ranch to recreate Arby’s Loaded Mac & Cheese (also only available for a limited time)?

Download Article

Who doesn’t love bacon and beef on one sandwich? The Bacon Beef N’ Cheddar isn’t on the regular menu, but this mouthwatering item is available at all Arby’s locations. Just ask for it by name, or order a good ol’ Beef N’ Cheddar with bacon (on top or on the side) to enjoy!^{[6]

French Dip Max

Download Article

Devour this if roast beef is what gets you out of bed in the morning. Sometimes called a Double French Dip, this secret menu item has double the meat of the regular sandwich (with the same tasty sub roll and slice of Swiss cheese). If your cashier doesn’t recognize the order, get a regular French Dip & Swiss and ask for extra roast beef.^{[7]

- Cost: $7

Chicago-Style Beef Dip

Download Article

Customize the French Dip for spicy, Windy City-inspired goodness. Order a regular French Dip & Swiss, then add banana peppers, roasted peppers, and Arby’s Italian seasonings (it’s up to you if you want to keep the Swiss cheese or try another kind. A true Chicago-style Italian beef is cheeseless). The result is like if a French Swiss Dip and Arby’s now-discontinued Loaded Italian Sandwich had a baby. You’ve got to try it!
- Cost: $4.49

8

Super Roast Beef Sandwich

Download Article

Try this super sandwich if you like your roast beef with a little extra zing. This tasty hidden item is a roast beef sandwich topped with tomato, lettuce, a touch of mayo, and Arby’s famous “red ranch sauce.” This special sauce adds an extra kick to the already delicious sandwich you won’t want to miss! This item is available at most locations—just order it by name.^{[8]

Arby’s Melt

Download Article

Order the once-standard melt if you crave warm, cheesy goodness. You might still see the Arby’s Melt at some locations, but it’s mostly disappeared from the regular menu. This bad boy is a regular roast beef sandwich (smothered with delicious, melty cheese) on a sesame seed bun. This classic is definitely available at all locations. Just ask for the Arby’s Melt!^{[9]

Double Stacked Reuben

Download Article

Jump on this secret sandwich if a regular Reuben just doesn’t cut it. Reubens are only available seasonally and may not find their way to every Arby’s location, so snap this up when you get the chance. The Double Stacked Reuben has twice the corned beef of the regular version (that makes 7 oz (198 g) of meat!), plus Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing. Yum!^{[10]

- Cost: $8.49
- To shake things up, try ordering the Double Stacked Reuben with half corned beef and half turkey (or any meat you like).
- Or, swap all the corned beef for roast turkey to recreate The Rachel (now discontinued). The original Rachel also used coleslaw in place of sauerkraut, but most Arby’s don’t carry that side anymore.

Jr. Deluxe

Download Article

Grab a Jr. Deluxe for a lighter version of the Jr. Roast Beef Sandwich. If you’re trying to eat healthier at fast food restaurants, this secret version is only 260 calories and comes on a sesame bun with fresh tomato, lettuce, and just a small amount of mayo.^{[11]

Turkey N’ Cheddar Sandwich

Download Article

Try this turkey treat as a low-cal alternative to the Beef N’ Cheddar. This is more of a hack than a secret menu item—just order a regular Beef N’ Cheddar, then ask to swap the roast beef with turkey. The swap is free, and the turkey is a fun way to switch up a standard menu item.^{[13]

Fancy Grilled Cheese

Download Article

Hack the standard menu for a delicious vegetarian treat. Take the Smokehouse Brisket, for example—order the sandwich without meat and you end up with a grilled cheese with gouda, onion rings, mayo, and BBQ sauce. Yum! The Reuben makes a good grilled cheese when it's in season, too—melted Swiss on rye with sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing? Yes please!^{[14]

- Cost: Price of whichever sandwich you choose to hack
- Arby’s actually featured these sandwiches sans-meat in 2016 as a Leap Year promotion, but vegetarian customers have been doing this for years!

Tips

Be patient with your cashier if they don’t recognize all of Arby’s secret menu items. Not every secret item is available at every Arby’s location, and there’s a chance that even some of the employees don’t know about them!
