The Big MontanaArbys roast beef fast food chain has a new sandwich code named "Big Montana" that is hyped as their biggest sandwich to date. Yes, tis a big sandwich, weighing in at 8 ounces of roast beef piled on a lightly buttered sesame seed bun. The container was a clear see through box.
The cost: $3.79 just for the sandwich. Pretty steep.
The taste: Good, as Arbys roast beef sandwiches go. It was well cooked and warm, the bun was fresh and not flat or beat up, and no fat in the meat.
The service and presentation: Drive through, and the order was correct, customer service courteous, and quick. As stated above, contents came in a see through container.
The Grassy Knoll Institute ranks Big Montana 3 out of 5 shots losing points for cost and a bit of confusion but still recommends Arbys for lunch.
The confusion: The Big Montana is not Big Montana anymore. it is now called Large Roast Beef Sandwich. Upon further investigation, Arbys has 4 sizes in roast beef sandwiches. They are the junior, regular, medium, and large roast beef sandwiches. Apparently, the old Giant roast beef is now deemed the medium and the Big Montana is now the large. The regular and junior remain the same. The Super roast beef is an altogether different sandwich as it has lettuce, tomato, mayo, on it. It has remained the Super with no name change.
On a side note: The regular roast beef costs $1.79 for 154 grams of meat. If you purchased two regulars for $3.58, you would save 21 cents and still receive 27 grams more meat plus an additional sesame seed bun. That's the bargain.
