Free Arby’s Roast Burger - My Review of the Burger
Arby’s has a promotion going where you get one of their new Roast Burger’s free with the purchase of a drink. You’ll need to go to their website and print off a coupon. The free food promotion ends on different dates for different locations so be sure to check the expiration date on your coupon.
There are 3 different varities of the Arby’s Roast Burger. I chose the All American, which has thinly sliced beef on a bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, ketchup, mustard and special sauce. The “special sauce” has a BBQ flavor and the sandwich reminded me of an old-fashioned Burger King flame grilled whopper - when they first came out and still tasted good. I can’t stand Burger King anymore though. But … let’s get back to the Arby’s burger. It was surprised that is tasted so good. It could have used some cheese, but I was quite happy with it overall. It was so big I could barely eat all of it.
If I remember correctly, the price for the sandwich woudl have been about $3.50 if I had paid for it out of pocket. The small drink cost me $1.69 with tax. Not bad for a burger and drink! As for the nutritional facts of the sandwich, I’m not a dietician, but I would venture to guess that the calories and fat content are comparable to a regular roast beef sandwich. A regular roast beef sandwich at Arby’s has about 400 calories, 20 grams of fat (7 saturated), 1030 sodium, 36 carbs, & 40 cholesterol. This is just a “guess-timate” on my part though and I don’t claim to be a dietician or even claim this nutritional info is correct.
