Arby's Double Roast Beef Meal

About the Double Roast Beef Meal

Twice the roast beef of the classic sandwich, plus fries and a drink, is what Arby's Double Roast Beef Meal delivers for $11.49 at 1,080 cal.

The sandwich is the Double Roast Beef, and Arby's pitches it plainly: two times the signature roast beef of the Roast Beef Classic, built for the days you are twice as hungry. It costs $6.99 by itself and counts 510 cal, with 38 grams of protein inside. Compare that with the Classic Roast Beef at 23 grams and the upgrade becomes obvious.

Thin sliced roast beef is the Arby's calling card, and doubling it changes the bite more than you would expect. The stack turns tall and tender, so the meat rather than the bun sets the texture. The flavor stays simple and beefy. On the classic, Arby's points diners to its Arby's Sauce or the zesty Horsey Sauce, and the same packets suit this bigger stack.

The Double Roast Beef Meal price sits between the classic and half pound roast beef combos. Go smaller with the Classic Roast Beef Meal for $9.79, or larger with the Half Pound Roast Beef Meal for $13.79. That middle position makes the double the sweet spot for someone who finds the classic too light but does not want to commit to a half pound. We pulled all three numbers off an Austin, TX board, and other regions price their boards on their own.

The step from sandwich to meal is small, and it beats paying for fries from the sides menu and a soda one at a time.

Count 510 cal for the Double Roast Beef by itself and 1,080 cal once it becomes a meal. Fries and soda are responsible for the jump, so the drink choice is the simplest dial to turn.

The meal fits a working lunch, a road trip stop, or a dinner for a teenager who eats like two people. A cheaper tray exists in the Meat & 3 Box at $7.99, yet none of its sandwich picks is roast beef. The Value Menu covers lighter hunger.

Pair the meal with a side of Potato Cakes for extra crunch, or finish with a Jamocha Shake for a sweet finish.
