Arby's Giant Roast Beef Sandwich

Arbys Roast Beef Giant Size Sandwich

Arby's has many different varieties of it's roast beef sandwich. The line up includes the junior, the regular, the giant, and the big Montana. This is the "Giant" critique.

The deal was two giants for five dollars. I added an order of potato cakes to seal the deal. (And my arteries)

What you see is what you get. Standard fare, thin sliced roast beef haphazardly tossed and stacked on a flat sesame seed bun. I would guess it was about 30% larger than the regular roast beef.

The sandwich was as expected, tasted good for fast food, was hot, the bun not stale, and the beef not fatty. The potato cakes were hot, and not as greasy as usual.

At $2.50 per sandwich, you are better off with the regular size.

The Grassy Knoll Diner awards 2.75 shots out of 5 and recommends Arby's Giant roast beef sandwich for lunch or dinner.

Arbys - Big Montana Sandwich

Posted by LOTGK on November 2, 2007

The Big Montana

Arbys 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.
