Arby's Half Pound Deluxe Cheesesteak Meal

About the Half Pound Deluxe Cheesesteak Meal

Arby's Half Pound Deluxe Cheesesteak Meal runs $19.98 and totals 1,650 cal with the sandwich, fries and a drink on one tray. Order the Half Pound Deluxe Cheesesteak by itself and the price drops to $15.48, with the sub alone counting 1,050 cal.

The name says cheesesteak, but the filling is chicken. Eight ounces of seasoned chicken get a cap of Cooper cheese and sweet caramelized onions, then tomato slices and shredded lettuce, and a toasted sesame seed sub roll closes over the top. That produce is the whole point of the Deluxe label. Cold tomato and crisp lettuce cut through the warm cheese, so the sandwich eats fresher than its size suggests, even though it packs 88 grams of protein before a single fry hits the tray.

Anyone checking the Half Pound Deluxe Cheesesteak Meal price usually wants to know what the extra money buys. The gap between the two prices above pays for fries and a fountain drink. Our Austin, TX reference store sells Curly Fries from $2.29 and fountain sodas from $2.29, a pair that costs slightly more than the combo upgrade when bought one at a time. Menu boards differ from city to city, so expect your local total to land a little higher or lower.

On its own the sub is 1,050 cal, and as a combo it reaches 1,650 cal. That puts this order in big meal of the day territory, the kind of tray that replaces both lunch and an afternoon snack. It fits a hungry crew member after a double shift, a road trip stop on I 35, or a Friday dinner when nobody wants to cook. Lighter eaters can split the fries with a friend or pick a Diet Coke to keep the number from climbing further.

Budget matters too. The Meat & 3 Box puts a smaller sandwich next to cheese sticks, a cobbler roll, fries and a drink for $7.99, so it wins on price and variety. This combo wins on sheer chicken volume. The Value Menu is the cheaper path when all you want is a snack between meals.

For a sweet finish, set a Jamocha Shake next to the tray. If a half pound feels like too much sandwich, the regular Deluxe Chicken Cheesesteak Meal keeps the same tomato and lettuce idea in a smaller build.
