Arby's Roast Beef Slider Kids Meal

About the Roast Beef Slider Kids Meal

For $4.99, the Arby's Roast Beef Slider Kids Meal gives a child a pint sized version of the sandwich the chain is known for, with the meal listed at 430 cal. Arby's pitches it as a smaller twin of its signature sandwich, with shaved roast beef and Swiss tucked into a little bun and a drink of your pick.

This is the kids meal that lets a young eater order what the grownups are having. The roast beef is the same thinly sliced style Arby's uses in its full size sandwiches, piled in soft folds rather than one thick slab. Thin slices matter for kids. They tear easily with small teeth, so there is no chewing a single bite for a full minute.

Swiss cheese sits on the beef and softens against the warm meat. It adds a mild, slightly nutty taste that does not compete with the beef. The bun is soft and plain, small enough for a preschooler to hold in one hand.

The taste lands squarely in savory territory. Beefy, a little salty, rich from the cheese, and nothing hot. Kids who already like a roast beef sandwich at home tend to enjoy it, and it makes a good first step for children curious about the menu their parents order from.

How much is the Roast Beef Slider Kids Meal compared to buying the parts? The standalone Roast Beef Slider costs $2.99 on its own, and adding a kids drink usually pushes the total past the meal price, so the bundle is the smarter order when your child wants a drink. Both numbers were logged in Austin, and franchise owners elsewhere price on their own.

Parents tracking Roast Beef Slider Kids Meal calories will want to check the drink as well. Arby's lists the meal at 430 cal, while drink options range from Bottled Water at 0 cal to Low Fat Chocolate Milk at 140 cal.

The slider format also helps at family meals. A parent with a Classic Roast Beef and a child with this slider eat the same flavor at different sizes, which keeps dinner simple and cuts down on special requests.

For extras, add Tree Top Applesauce for something sweet that is not dessert, or pick Low Fat Milk as the drink for 8 grams of protein. The rest of the choices for little ones are on the Arby's kids menu.
