Arby’s has brought back the heat with the limited-time return of its Angus Cheesesteak. This bold, meaty sandwich leans into the chain’s signature roast beef roots while paying homage to the iconic Philly cheesesteak. The sandwich features thinly sliced Angus steak loaded onto a toasted sub roll, layered with white American cheese, roasted onions and peppers, and a savory garlic spread that has garnered some real love from fans.
It’s available now at participating Arby’s locations nationwide, either as a standalone sandwich or as part of a meal.
Arby’s Specials Over The Years
The Arby’s Angus Cheesesteak
This isn’t Arby’s first trip down cheesesteak alley. Past offerings, such as the Three Cheese Steak and Ultimate Angus Philly, demonstrated the brand’s willingness to experiment with this East Coast classic. The current Angus Cheesesteak keeps things simpler and more focused, relying on quality steak, punchy peppers, and that standout garlic spread to carry the flavor.
It’s not aiming to be a replica of a Philly cheesesteak—and it doesn’t need to be. Arby’s is playing by its own rules here, using familiar elements to create something satisfying in its own right.
Initial reviews suggest that the sandwich is a hit for those craving a fast-food twist on the cheesesteak formula. The steak-to-bread ratio is generous, the garlic spread adds an unexpected kick, and the peppers and onions bring in just enough sweetness to balance it out.
Still, consistency has been a minor issue, with some customers reporting swaps in the bread or changes in the topping amounts. That’s par for the course with limited-time offerings at big chains, but worth noting if you’re particular about your cheesesteak construction.
Overall, the Angus Cheesesteak is a strong seasonal player for Arby’s. It’s hearty, flavorful, and built for fans of beef-forward sandwiches who don’t mind a slight variation from the Philly purist script. Whether you’re grabbing one in-store or placing an order online, don’t wait too long—like many of Arby’s special menu items, this cheesesteak won’t be around forever.
The Arby’s Wagyu Steakhouse Burger
When I saw the ad for the new Arby’s Wagyu Steakhouse Burger, I instantly remembered the time they had yanked our chain in March 2009 with their RoastBurgers. You can scroll to the bottom of this post to see my thoughts about those fellas.
Marcela craved Arby’s Orange Cream Shake, so the universe tried to make this visit happen. Plus, I still needed time on the drive over to decide whether to order the Deluxe or the Bacon Ranch Wagyu Steakhouse Burger.
My burger arrives while Marcela enjoys her Orange Cream Shake, a limited-time offer item.
UPDATE: Wagyu Steakhouse Gone?
Arby’s introduced a new burger, the BBQ Bacon Burger, to the menu while quietly removing the “Wagyu Steakhouse” from the title, which was their original selling point. It does have a slightly different taste, but I wonder if the general public will notice or even care?
Which Arby’s Wagyu Steakhouse Burger Did I Get?
Anyways, was there any doubt I’d go the Deluxe route? The Deluxe has American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and a burger sauce on a toasted brioche bun.
My other option was theBacon Ranch Wagyu Steakhouse Burger. This burger has the same ingredients, but there’s no burger sauce; instead, there is bacon and aparmesan peppercorn ranch sauce.
Those seem more like toppings for a chicken sandwich. Maybe Arby’s play should have been to bring back the onion petals and pair them with the Smoky Q sauce; just a thought.
Arby’s Deluxe Wagyu Steakhouse Burger Thoughts
There are too many bad burgers out there. That’s why Arby’s created THIS burger with Wagyu beef, cooked medium-well with a hint of pink. Limited time only at participating U.S. locations while supplies last. Made with a blend of Wagyu and ground beef.
from the Arby’s Website
Since the devil is in the details, if you read the 6.4-ounce burgers’ full descriptions, you’ll see that they are made with a blend of Wagyu and ground beef. Is there a breakdown of those percentages?
Yup, the burger patty is a 52 percent blend of American Wagyu and 48 percent ground beef. The more I dig into this Wagyu Steakhouse Burger, the better it sounds.
More surprising is the claim that Arby’s burgers will be served medium-well with a pink center. How will Arby’s be able to pull that off? The beef patties are cooked sous-vide style, which makes a whole lotta sense.
I can confirm that the center was indeed pink. It was a pleasant surprise to see the patty between medium and medium well. We might have had a winner if this burger had come out hot and not lukewarm.
The flavor was there, but I was served aWagyu Steakhouse Burger that had been sitting around and then finished when I placed my order.
The picture might give the illusion that it was overcooked, but as you can see, the inside is pink, and the cheese is barely melted. So it appears to be an execution issue.
It’s a shame cause my bud Ed ate aDeluxe Wagyu Steakhouse Burger at his local Arby’s minutes before I ate mine, and he loved it. This sandwich has the potential to be a solid fast-food burger option.
UPDATE: Arby’s has no grills or griddles, so these burgers are deep-fried!
The burger, fries, a medium Coke, and the medium Orange Cream Shake came to $14.32 for you fast food bookkeepers at home.
Arby’s Good Burger 2 Meal
Arby’s is running a promotion for the film, Good Burger 2. I didn’t see any promotional ads on the building other than this small one on the door.
The Good Burger 2 Meal includes a Wagyu Steakhouse burger, fries, and a Strawberry Shake.
A wagyu blend burger topped with American cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and burger sauce on a toasted buttery brioche bun, served with a Strawberry Shake and Fries. Made with a blend of 51% American Wagyu and 49% Ground Beef.
– Arby’s Website
The fries were very good, while that strawberry shake was too syrupy for my taste. Marcela who is a strawberry shake connoisseur, thought so too.
The burger is the standard burger Arby’s has been selling for the last year and a half. The main problem with it is inconsistency.
And what’s with the missing piece of burger? I’m all about the crispy fried beef, but it was a lukewarm burger patty. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me, and here I am on a fifth fooling.
I really want to love this burger, but they can’t consistently execute it well. I’m basing these thoughts on the Arby’s near me because somehow, my friend the endorsement always gets a great burger at his local Arby’s.
Arby’s RoastBurger
March 25th, 2009 – I went against my better judgment and decided to try Arby’s RoastBurger. Having a coupon in hand softened the blow a little.
As I suspected, there is no difference between an Arby’s Roast Beef Sandwich and a RoastBurger other than the toppings. So, I decided to go with the Bacon Cheddar RoastBurger, which has pepper bacon and cheddar cheese.
How was the RoastBurger?
Wow! It tastes like an Arby’s Roast Beef Sandwich with pepper bacon and cheddar cheese.
Alright, that might have been a little obnoxious, but let’s be honest here: Who are they trying to fool with their RoastBurger? At Arby’s, the chicken bacon and Swiss sandwich is more my speed.
I like it, and if you add some of their horsey (horseradish) sauce, it’s even better. I forgot to mention their sauce selection which I thoroughly enjoy.
To cap off this meal, we had jalapeño poppers and loaded potato bites (potato with cheddar cheese and bacon). The jalapeño poppers are as good as you’ll find at most dive bars, and the loaded potato bites are nothing out of this world.
I do like their onion petals, though. So the moral of the story is to stick with what you know. Arby’s sells roast beef and some pretty good sides.
