Arby's Double Beef 'n Cheddar features double the amount of tender roast beef as Arby's Beef 'n Cheddar Classic. This is great news for people who are tired of buying two Beef 'n Cheddar Classics, then moving all the roast beef, cheddar cheese sauce, and Red Ranch onto one onion roll.
Arby's Double Beef 'n Cheddar costs $7.69 and carries 630 cal, doubling the tender roast beef of the Classic while keeping the same Cheddar cheese sauce, Red Ranch and onion roll. Arby's sells it with a joke: the sandwich exists for people who got tired of buying two Classics and moving all the beef onto a single bun.
That extra layer of meat changes how the sandwich eats. A Classic leans on its sauces, but the Double tastes beef first, with the savory roast flavor holding its own against the salty cheese. The Red Ranch still adds a sweet tang at the bottom, and the Cheddar sauce spreads across a wider stack of meat, so you get cheese in most bites rather than all of it pooling in the center. The toasted onion roll has to work harder here, and its slightly crisp top keeps the whole thing from collapsing before you finish.
Size is the first thing you notice when you peel back the wrapper. The beef sits noticeably taller between the buns, and the cheese sauce drapes over a thicker pile, so this one needs two hands and a few napkins. It is a good fit for a big appetite after a workout, a long shift, or a road trip when the next stop is hours away.
The nutrition numbers reflect that bigger stack. The Double Beef 'n Cheddar calories land well above the Classic, and the sandwich packs 39 grams of protein, which makes it one of the more protein heavy picks on the Arby's roast beef menu. Sodium climbs too, since both the beef and the cheese sauce are salty, so plan the rest of your day around it if you watch salt.
So how much is the Double Beef 'n Cheddar compared with its siblings? It sits between the Classic Beef 'n Cheddar at $6.29 and the Half Pound version at $9.69, which makes it the middle step for diners who want more beef without going all the way to the largest stack. Order the Double Beef 'n Cheddar Meal and you get fries and a drink too, at $12.19. Every figure here was logged at an Austin, TX store, so expect some local variation.
Pair the Double with a side of Potato Cakes for crisp, golden edges against the soft beef, or cool things down with a Chocolate Shake after all that salt and cheese.
