| - 3.5 STARS as in Pretty Good Food:
When Arby's has their eye on the ball, they hit it out of the ball park. Their limited time King's Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef sandwich is a Grand Slam. Further into the Review, it will touch on this sandwich.
It had been a hot day in North Las Vegas. After hiking on the Aliante Walking Trail, the urban hike concluded at the Aliante Parkway Arby's. This is not surprising considering that I am a fan of Arby's roast beef. Their roast beef is unparalleled. I have never tasted roast beef similar to Arby's. The only problem is that Arby's doesn't seem to have the same confidence in their roast beef as your's truly. Over the years they have seriously cut back on their roast beef sandwiches while branching out into their line of deli market sandwiches. Gone are some of the delicious Arby's staples that I remember growing up with. While I am on this subject, let me mention that back in the late 1980s, Arby's served a highly underrated burger that was of a high quality similar to what diners serve. Arby's also gave it the axe. And while they were at it they got rid of every Arby's in my home town of Long Island by the time I started college. When I have gotten in the Arby's mood, their beef in cheddar sandwich is my goto food. The limited edition king's Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef (abbreviated Brown sugar Bacon from this point forward) sandwich changed that.
The picture convinced me to order the medium Brown Sugar Bacon combo for a few cents short of $10. It included the sandwich, curly fries and a fountain drink. The menu's picture reminded me of one of the deceased Arby's sandwiches coming back from the dead with a new name. Here is a Yelpy question, " Did the sandwich look the way the pictures showed it?" My Yelpy answer is that the picture showed more roast beef and less of the lettuce than what was on my sandwich. Regardless, there was a nice amount of that delicious Arby's roast beef between the King's Hawaiian bread buns. Sharing the space with the roast beef were Swiss cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, bacon, and I believe horse radish sauce. From the Arby's condiment station, I poured a couple of cups of Arby's sauce on it. I savoured every bite. The Arby's curly fries went along good with their limited time masterpiece.
When my brother and I took in Arby's it was in a very quiet environment. Most of the time we were the only customers until a large family came in. There was a creepy moment when a shady drugged looking character walked in. He stares at the order taker, then is walking slowly towards the soda machine. I thought that there was going to be a robbery going down. But he takes it upon himself to fill up a cup of Coke then leave. In the nicer quiet moments when I wasn't chatting with my brother, it was enjoyable looking across Aliante Parkway toward the Nature Discovery Park where geese were hanging out.
After I finished the Arby's food, my post hiking eating adventure was half over. One of the advantages of this Arby's is that it is a short walk to two dessert destinations: Scoops in the Smith's-anchored shopping center and Dairy Queen at the southeast corner of Alienate Parkway and Deer Springs Road. Immediately after Arby's I would treat myself to dessert in Scoops.
As I headed toward Scoops ice cream, the sweltering sun did not melt my opinion of Arby's. I am still a fan of Arby's that wants to see them return to the basics of their roast beef sandwiches business.
