Arby's has some damn good roast beef sandwiches, almost as good as what USED to be served at the now dead and buried Roy Rogers Roast Beef Sandwich Restaurants

"Arby's has some damn good roast beef sandwiches"

I agree. That's what I always get, with curly fries. They also have a kick ass chocolate milkshake, and I don't even like chocolate all that much.

A Marylander owns the Roy Rogers brand. I learned that meeting him at an event I did a few years ago. Not sure how many stores he has but I knew of several. Had a roast beef sandwich at RR in Gaithersburg, MD two Sundays ago. It remains wonderful - the beef is not the pressed and formed style that Arby’s has faded to; and they dip the meat in jus, the thin brown gravy. I love that sandwich with a bit of horseradish sauce. It’s the best roast beef I know of in the fast food space. With the combo, you have your choice of sides including salad, baked beans, and fruit cup as well as the fries and a couple others. This was true before the original chain went bust. The Maryland operator has made a point of preserving the menu mostly as it was.

I had one of their pita sandwiches yesterday. Very good.

I never had the Roy Rodgers roast beef. I always had their fried chicken, which was the best fast food chicken that I ever tried. Better than Popeye's, better than Church's, and certainly better than Kentucky Fried Rat!

Roy Rogers has two stores near me in Alexandria VA....

Mmmm.....Double-R-Bar Burgers....lived on ‘em in high school.

Last time I was in a RR (years ago), the Double-R-Bar was no longer on the menu at that particular store, but if you asked for it, they’d make you one. So I did. :-)

This is a sad story though. Now Wendy’s can suck as bad as Arby’s.

I used to stop at Roy's all the time back in the late 70's and 80's. Excellent roast beef and fried chicken. Then Hardee's bought out Roy Roger's. Hardee's eventually dumped them. There is still a Roy Roger's chain, but from what I've heard, the roast beef is just not the same as it was 20-30 years ago.

They're still alive and kicking at interstate travel plazas in New York and New England.

I had some of their fantastic fried chicken outside of Syracuse last August.

Didn’t Marriot buy Roy’s? I loved their burgers, roast beef AND chicken!

Pretty obvious that you have never had a Lion's Choice RB Sandwich.

And I can't eat that sliced loaf on a bun that Arby's serves up, and alleges is roast beef, "roast anything" other than warmed meat trimmings pressed into an oval form and held together with coagulated fat.

Try and order a "rare" RB sandwich next time you venture into an Arby's and laugh at the puzzled look you get from the server.

There are still some Roy Rogers actually. Mostly at highway rest stops. We have a few here in Jersey. Love the Gold Rush Chicken Sandwich.
