Guiding Steps
Feast on the Meat Mountain Sandwich
Indulge in this colossal creation to savor every meat offered by Arby’s in a single bite. As the tale goes, this carnivorous marvel was born from a jest—the Arby’s marketing team crafted a poster depicting an imaginary sandwich laden with every available meat, only for customers to mistake it for reality and begin requesting it. The Meat Mountain remains a fixture on most Arby’s menus. Simply inquire by name, or request a sandwich featuring a selection of all meats available (with the addition of a slice of cheddar and Swiss).
Price: $10 (cost may vary if assembled separately)
The Meat Mountain comprises 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.
Savor the Ham N’ Swiss Sandwich
Embrace the classic combination of ham and Swiss cheese—unrivaled in its simplicity! Should the Ham N' Swiss elude recognition by the cashier, fret not—every Arby’s possesses the ingredients to fulfill your desire. Simply request ham and Swiss on a honey wheat bun accompanied by tomato, lettuce, mayo, and spicy brown mustard.
Price: $3.99
Feel free to personalize this sandwich to your liking upon ordering. Adding a few strips of peppered bacon atop sounds particularly delectable!
Indulge in the Ultimate BLT Sandwich
Rediscover the nostalgic delight of the BLT's heyday. Although the Ultimate BLT vanished from Arby’s menu post its 2002 debut, fear not—your nearby Arby’s is equipped with all the essentials to recreate this timeless sandwich. Simply request the Ultimate BLT. Should the cashier be unfamiliar, order a sandwich on your preferred bread with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Feel empowered to tailor it to your liking!
Price: $3.99
The original Ultimate BLT boasted 5 bacon strips. Word has it that ordering it from the secret menu now grants you 8 strips (yes, please!).
Indulge in Bacon Mac & Cheese
Satisfy your cravings for carbs, cheese, and a hint of meat. While Mac & Cheese availability at Arby’s may fluctuate, seize the opportunity when it arises (such as during limited-time offerings like White Cheddar Mac & Cheese). Enhance it with bacon for added protein and flavor. Should the establishment be unable to prepare it, request bacon on the side (complimentary) and sprinkle it atop yourself.
Price: $3.29
While you're at it, why not pair it with chicken tenders and peppercorn ranch to replicate Arby’s Loaded Mac & Cheese (also available for a limited time)?
Discover the Bacon Beef N’ Cheddar Sandwich
Embrace the savory union of bacon and beef in a single sandwich. Although absent from the regular menu, the tantalizing Bacon Beef N’ Cheddar is a staple at all Arby’s outlets. Simply request it by name, or add bacon to your classic Beef N’ Cheddar for a delightful twist.
Price: $4.99
Indulge in the French Dip Max
Delight in this feast if roast beef is your morning motivation. Dubbed as the Double French Dip, this clandestine menu gem boasts twice the meat of its regular counterpart, nestled within the same delectable sub roll and adorned with a slice of Swiss cheese. Should your cashier be unfamiliar, opt for the regular French Dip & Swiss and request an additional serving of roast beef.
Price: $7
Experience the Chicago-Style Beef Dip
Transform the French Dip into a spicy, Windy City-inspired delight. Begin with a standard French Dip & Swiss, then embellish it with banana peppers, roasted peppers, and Arby’s Italian seasonings. The choice of cheese is yours—whether to retain the Swiss or opt for another variety. A true Chicago-style Italian beef is devoid of cheese. The outcome resembles a fusion of the French Swiss Dip and Arby’s now-extinct Loaded Italian Sandwich. It’s a must-try!
Price: $4.49
Discover the Super Roast Beef Sandwich
Indulge in this extraordinary sandwich for a roast beef experience with an added kick. This delectable hidden gem features a roast beef sandwich adorned with tomato, lettuce, a hint of mayo, and Arby’s renowned “red ranch sauce.” The special sauce elevates the already delightful sandwich to a whole new level of flavor you won’t want to miss! Available at most locations—simply order it by name.
Price: $5.29
Enjoy the Arby’s Melt
Crave warm, cheesy goodness? Look no further than the once-standard melt. While the Arby’s Melt may have vanished from many menus, it remains a staple at all locations. This classic consists of a regular roast beef sandwich generously layered with delectable, melted cheese on a sesame seed bun. Just request the Arby’s Melt to savor this timeless favorite!
Price: $3.99
Double Up with the Double Stacked Reuben
Elevate your Reuben experience with this clandestine sandwich when the standard version falls short. Reubens are seasonal and may not grace every Arby’s menu, so seize the opportunity while you can. The Double Stacked Reuben boasts twice the corned beef of the regular iteration (that’s 7 oz (198 g) of meat!), complemented by Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing. Delicious!
Price: $8.49
To mix things up, consider ordering the Double Stacked Reuben with half corned beef and half turkey (or any other meat you prefer).
Alternatively, swap out all the corned beef for roast turkey to recreate The Rachel (now discontinued). The original Rachel also featured coleslaw instead of sauerkraut, though most Arby’s no longer offer that side.
Experience the Jr. Deluxe
Opt for the Jr. Deluxe for a lighter take on the Jr. Roast Beef Sandwich. If you’re aiming to eat healthier at fast food joints, this covert version boasts only 260 calories. Served on a sesame bun with fresh tomato, lettuce, and a modest dollop of mayo, simply request it by name at any Arby’s outlet to give it a whirl.
Price: $1.59
Enhance any sandwich with fresh toppings like tomato and lettuce at no additional charge.
Savor the Roast Beef N’ Swiss Sandwich
Indulge in the rare blend of beef and Swiss cheese, a combo that will leave you craving more. The classic Roast Beef N’ Swiss is served on honey wheat bread with tomato, lettuce, red onions, and spicy brown honey mustard—a masterpiece! If your cashier is unfamiliar with your order, fear not, as every Arby’s is equipped to whip it up. Just request a roast beef sandwich on honey wheat with Swiss cheese and your preferred toppings.
Price: $4.99
Try the Turkey N’ Cheddar Sandwich
Opt for this turkey twist for a lighter option compared to the Beef N’ Cheddar. Consider this more of a menu hack than a secret item—simply order a regular Beef N’ Cheddar and request to swap out the roast beef for turkey. The substitution comes at no extra cost, offering a delightful variation on a familiar menu item.
- Cost: $3.99
Elevated Grilled Cheese
Transform the standard menu into a delectable vegetarian delight. Take the Smokehouse Brisket, for example—request the sandwich without meat and you’ll receive a grilled cheese featuring gouda, onion rings, mayo, and BBQ sauce. Delicious! Alternatively, when in season, the Reuben also makes for a mouthwatering grilled cheese option—melted Swiss on rye with sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing? Count us in!
- Cost: Price varies based on the sandwich you choose to customize
- In 2016, Arby’s featured these meatless sandwiches as part of a Leap Year promotion, although vegetarian customers have been enjoying them for years!
Crunchy Onion Bits
Enhance any sandwich on the menu with these hidden crispy onion flakes. Arby’s signature Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich comes topped with a layer of fried onions known as “onion tanglers.” Elevate your sandwich game (whether from the regular or secret menu) by adding onion tanglers as a topping—simply request crunchy onions during your order.
- Cost: $0
Bread Swap
Change the bread of your sandwich for free! While not officially a secret menu item, many customers are unaware that they can request a different type of bread or bun for their sandwich at no additional cost. Select any sandwich from the menu and choose from options like sesame seed bun, onion roll, sub roll, rye, brioche, or honey wheat bread.
- Cost: $0
- You can also switch out sauces on your sandwiches for free!
