Wrong!! There's still one open here. Its over in Milford, pronounced Milllllll-ferd. Get into your mobile speedster and head east around 275 to exit 59. As you go past it, you'll see the familiar hat, but not the words Roy Rogers. Its now called Roney's, but it has the same taste and even the good fries. Try it, you'll like it.

If you guys want RR, we have them here. In fact, I have one about a mile from my house. Let me know what you need and I’ll ship it to you.

Arbys past offered Roast Chicken Club was my favorite. I had one often on lunch trips before I retired. They no longer offer the same menu.
My favorite now is a real decent burger at 5 guys and then a visit to Cabelas very close to 5 guys.
A good burger and Cabelas is a good thing.

Back in 2008 I was working with a country music act on a tour as a manufacturers rep, which meant that I didn't have to ride the bus from city to city. The act played 3 cities a week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. I would fly into the first city and rent a car then I would drive myself to the second and third cities.

During that time my late night driving go to food was Arby's 5 for 5 deal. I would get a roast beef sandwich, a ham and cheese sandwich, a curly fry, jalapeno poppers and a drink. It wasn't a gourmet meal by any means but during that run that stupid neon hat sign was comforting no matter where I was at in the U.S. I don't go there much any more but for me Arby's will always be associated with that time in my life.

Big Arby’s fan here and likely always will be.
It never failed whenever it was just me and gramps and meal time rolled around you could bet we were headed to Arby’s.
I still eat there frequently because I like it and the nostalgia of hanging with gramps.

I miss the days of bottles of Arby and Horsey sauce on the table. A little dab on each bite. Much harder to do with packets and cups.
Turns into a giant mess but that is alright because it is delicious.

Don’t know about where you folks are but ours jus switched to Coke from Pepsi, way to make the place even better.

The fact that we have three pages here devoted to the "merits" of junk food joints says a whole lot about the current state of American culture (and health).

I can't remember the last time I visited one of these calorie disasters. The stuff they serve is the same going in as it is going out.

However, when they were still around, Roy Rogers Restaurants had REAL roast beef, and it was delicious. They also had the best bbq sauce in the world. Sadly, all the RR restaurants in the area are gone.

Yup. Miss them big time. Best "fast food" ever.

And we have a 166 page thread on alcohol

I think we all know the answer to that.

They built a brand new Yooper Arbys. Lasted about a year. Bad service and food.

I just watched a show on Netflix called the founder.

It was about the relationship between the McDonald's boys and Ray Crock.


"In the beginning" consistency was king,

every single sandwich was exactly the same in five different ways , same with the fries and drinks.

They need to revisit that concept

Congratulations. Do the superior dance.

There’s a reason I identify so closely with Michael Douglas’s character from Falling Down.

I like at least some of the offerings at most of the fast food places, including Arby’s, McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s. Unfortunately, my calorie budget doesn’t allow me to eat at such places very often. And yeah, I really like the Horsey sauce at Arby’s.

The giant Beef n Cheddar.
Worth every penny...

Meh, my Arbys diet will kill me a few years early, but the eColi in your romaine will kill you next week.

A giant roast beef sammich slathered in Arby's and horsey sauce always sounds good.

You're the smug guy in the Prius telling everyone you're "just doing my part".
You seem like that guy.

I thought Arby's, with the varied menu, was considered mucho better than standard fast food places,


I go once in a long while, I like the something like beef and cheesy runny cheddarish sandwiches,

but I also like a good ole Whopper with cheese on occasion too,,,

or a Filet of what may be fish at Mcdonalds,,
