I don't know how many times I drive by this Arby's - especially now, as I am moving. I probably would have driven by once again if I didn't get a text that they are offering some chicken strips for free if you purchase a drink and fries. So I stopped. The place was empty. At least it was clean!
The service at the counter was really friendly. I was actually impressed that they were able to give me a free order of chicken strips from a text message that I had received about an hour before. The world is moving along. Not long ago, people would have just stared at me like I was an alien or something.
I do love curly fries, so that was a no-brainer, and I also ordered the requisite drink to go along with it. Their "medium" is huge. I wonder why the drinks keep getting larger.
Unfortunately, the curly fries seem to have been sitting out for a while, so rather than being crisp and crunchy, they were just so-so, and the chicken was all breading. At least I didn't pay for the chicken.
Sweet Tea Report: The sweet tea was actually really sweet. I felt like I had eaten a few candy bars. I almost didn't get a refill. Almost. If I hadn't seen the dispenser sitting below the brew pot, I would have sworn they were piping in some sort of syrup to make it that sweet. But sure enough, it seems like they are brewing it. Apparently these fast food places are catching on to the secret of sweet tea.
