Arby's Ham Slider Kids Meal

About the Ham Slider Kids Meal

The Arby's Ham Slider Kids Meal costs $4.99 and comes in at 420 cal, built around a small sandwich of shaved ham layered with Swiss, served warm on a slider roll. The meal pairs that slider with a kid sized drink, which makes it a complete order for a young eater in one line.

The official menu line is one sentence long, naming only shaved ham, Swiss and a warm little bun. That short list is exactly why it works for kids. There is no sauce to drip on a shirt, no onions to pick off, and nothing spicy. The ham is shaved thin so it folds into soft layers that a small mouth can bite through without tugging. Swiss adds a mild, nutty, slightly sweet cheese note that melts against the warm meat.

The bun matters too. Slider buns are soft, pale and a little sweet, sized to fit in a child's hand. The whole sandwich runs a few bites long, which suits toddlers and early grade schoolers who lose interest in anything bigger than their fist.

Flavor wise, think deli lunch meets ham and cheese roll. Salty pork, gentle cheese, plain bread. Picky eaters who refuse roast beef often take to ham because it tastes familiar from school lunches and home sandwiches.

The Ham Slider Kids Meal price covers the slider plus the drink. If you are deciding between this and the standalone Ham Slider, the kids meal is the better buy when your child needs a beverage anyway. That number was recorded in Austin, so a counter in your city can ring up slightly different.

Parents keeping an eye on Ham Slider Kids Meal calories should check the drink. Arby's lists the meal at 420 cal, and the kids drink options vary widely. Low Fat Milk lists 110 cal, while plain bottled water adds nothing.

This meal fits a quick lunch between errands, a road trip stop, or a family dinner where the adults want a bigger sandwich and the kids want something simple. It also works for older kids who just are not that hungry.

For a side, Tree Top Applesauce adds fruit without much sugar. See every option for little ones on the Arby's kids menu.
