In my house, there are two different types of cooks. I’m the casual cook – I prefer throwing stuff in a crockpot, mixing up a simple casserole or pasta dish, or tossing together a quick skillet dinner. The Mister is the meat man. We bought a fancy new grill this year from Sears – it has two sides, one for charcoal and one for propane, giving him a ton of room to work his magic. We’ve got indoor grilling gadgets, he can cook a roast like nobody’s business, and one of his favorite things is a good brisket. So when I heard that Arby’s had a new Smokehouse Brisket sandwich on the menu, I knew he’d want to check it out.
Arby’s knows you can’t rush flavor… Do you have an Arby’s with the big sign like this outside? I don’t see these very much anymore, but I love it :) Anyway – one thing I’ve always liked about Arby’s is that it doesn’t taste like fast food – you get tender juicy meat in your sandwich, the lettuce and tomatoes always taste fresher, and I swear the curly fries are always brand new from the fryer. But, the Mister is a hard guy to please… So, while I ordered my usual meal – Regular Beef ‘n Cheddar with a side of cheese sticks, he ordered up the new Smokehouse Brisket meal with curly fries.
And the taste test begins… We grabbed a seat, and got ready to get to work on this pile of beefy goodness. And Arby’s had set the expectations high, this is how they describe the sandwich – “The new Smokehouse Brisket sandwich is smoked low and slow for at least 13 hours. Then they serve it piled high on a toasted bakery-style bun, and top it with smoked Gouda cheese, crispy onions, BBQ sauce and mayo.”
So…. By now you’re probably like, “Ok, ok Meagan. Enough build up. I’m hungry. Was it good or what? I’m in my car on the way there to eat three of them. Is it worth it??” And the answer is – oh yeay, baybeeeee. I just had a little bite – I’m not really a brisket girl, but this looked so darn good. Mike was really impressed with the combo of textures and flavors – the bun is just slightly toasted on the outside, but really soft inside, which pairs nicely with the tenderness of the brisket and the crunchy onions. His only suggestion was actually a surprise – he said it’d better with less BBQ sauce, which I’ve never heard him say about a piece of meat, lol. But he said the flavor of the meat was so darn good, he’d prefer less sauce to let it shine. He’s hard to impress, but would order this again. Two BBQ covered thumbs up :)

I love their Roast Beef Sandwiches. I buy them 5 to 10 at at time and put them in the freezer. They are great to take out of the freezer and put them in the microwave for 90 seconds and you a quick and easy meal for the nights you don’t want to cook.
would love to try this! My current favorite is their Crispy Chicken Cordeun Bleu sandwich
I love Arby’s because it’s away from the typical hamburgers that you mostly find in fast food. I would much rather have a nice roast beef sandwich and mozzarella sticks.
