Arby's Menu Prices 2026: Roast Beef, Curly Fries & Combo Meals

The Classic Roast Beef is priced around $5.49 at most U.S. Arby's locations as of May 2026. The Half Pound Classic Roast Beef runs around $7.99, and the Beef 'n Cheddar — the chain's iconic second build — is around $5.99. Pricing varies by franchise: California, the Northeast and Hawaii typically run 10–20% higher; Midwest and South markets usually sit at or below these prices.

It does not stand for "roast beef," despite the chain's signature item. The name comes from R. B. — the initials of the founding Raffel Brothers, Forrest and Leroy Raffel, who opened the first store in Boardman, Ohio in 1964. The roast beef association was a happy coincidence the brothers leaned into when picking the name.

Arby's Sliders are priced at $1.99 each à la carte, making them the cheapest tier on the entire menu. Most stores run a recurring 2 for $3 promotion, and many participating locations bundle a Slider + Curly Fries + Small Drink combo for around $5.49. Eight slider varieties are on the standard menu: Roast Beef 'n Cheese, Ham 'n Cheese, Buffalo Chicken, Chicken 'n Cheese, Cheesy Brisket, Jalapeño, Pizza and Turkey 'n Cheese.

The Beef 'n Cheddar is thin-sliced roast beef topped with warm cheddar cheese sauce and Arby's tangy Red Ranch sauce, served on a toasted sesame onion roll (not the sesame-seed bun used for the Classic Roast Beef). It's been on the menu since the 1970s and is the chain's iconic #2 sandwich behind the Classic. Standard price: around $5.99; the Half Pound build is around $8.99.

Yes — Arby's Curly Fries come pre-seasoned in a peppery, paprika-and-onion-powder blend that's part of the chain's identity. They are not simply curled-cut versions of a plain fry; the seasoning is mixed into the coating before frying. A medium Curly Fries runs around $3.59, large around $4.29. Crinkle Fries are the lightly-seasoned alternative on the menu.

Yes. The Jamocha Shake — Arby's signature chocolate-and-coffee blended shake — remains on the standard menu nationwide. A medium runs around $3.99. It's one of the chain's longest-running items and is the dessert most associated with the brand alongside the Apple Turnover.

From 2017 through 2022, Arby's ran a limited-edition venison sandwich built on a thick-cut deer-meat steak with crispy onions and a juniper-berry sauce on a star-cut roll. It was part of the chain's "Arby's Vault" / wild-meat promotional series — alongside an elk sandwich and a duck sandwich in later years. The promotion typically ran during deer-hunting season (late October), launched in a handful of stores in hunting states, then rolled out nationally for a limited window. It's no longer on the standard menu but the chain rotates new Vault items periodically.

It depends what you order. Arby's Sliders Menu at $1.99 each is the cheapest sandwich tier in U.S. fast food and undercuts Subway's 6-inch sub starting prices (typically $5–$7). For mid-sized sandwiches, the Classic Roast Beef at $5.49 is roughly equal to a Subway 6-inch. For value combos, Arby's combos start around $8.99 while Subway's Footlong Pro meals run $11–$13 — so Arby's has the cheaper entry combo. Subway offers the larger sandwich for the dollar at the Footlong tier.

The Arby's Vault is the chain's marketing nickname for its limited-edition wild-meat promotions — venison (2017–2022), elk (2018), duck (2019), and the Wagyu Steakhouse Burger launch (2022). These are real, distinctive Arby's events that reinforce the chain's "We Have The Meats" tagline (introduced 2014) and differentiate it from burger competitors. Vault items are typically time- and store-limited; rumors of the next Vault drop are tracked closely by Arby's fans.

Three sauces are free at participating stores: Arby's Sauce (the signature tangy brown sauce served on sandwiches), Horsey Sauce (creamy horseradish), and Three Pepper Sauce (hot). Other dipping sauces — Honey Mustard, Ranch, BBQ, Buffalo and Bronco Berry — typically run $0.25 per cup. Bronco Berry Sauce is included with Jalapeño Bites at no charge.
