Arby's Roast Beef Slider

About the Roast Beef Slider

Think of Arby's Roast Beef Slider as the Classic Roast Beef shrunk down: thinly sliced roast beef and Swiss on a slider sized bun for $2.99, with 180 cal in Austin, TX. Arby's calls it a mini me of the classic, and the comparison holds up. You get the same tender, rosy beef the chain built its name on, just in a portion you can finish in a few bites.

One difference from the full size sandwich stands out. The Classic Roast Beef goes on a toasted sesame seed bun with no cheese listed, while the slider adds a slice of Swiss. That cheese softens over the warm beef and gives each bite a creamy, mild finish that balances the savory, lightly salted meat. The small bun stays soft and keeps the ratio of bread to beef close to even.

The Roast Beef Slider price matches the rest of the slider lineup on the Arby's Value Menu. For context, the Classic Roast Beef costs $5.29, so the slider works as a budget taste of the same beef. Roast Beef Slider calories are second lowest among the sliders, just above the Ham Slider, and it still carries 11 grams of protein.

The slider fits several orders. Grab two for a light lunch, add one to a chicken order so the table gets some beef, or use it to sample Arby's roast beef before stepping up to a full sandwich. Add Horsey Sauce or Arby's Sauce, both offered with the Classic Roast Beef, turns it into a more punchy bite. For kids, Arby's sells a Roast Beef Slider Kids Meal at $4.99.

Beef fans who outgrow the slider have a clear ladder: the Classic Roast Beef, the Double Roast Beef, and finally the Half Pound Roast Beef. The full lineup sits on the Arby's roast beef menu.

For pairings, order a side of Potato Cakes for crunch, or add a Jamocha Shake to turn two sliders into a classic Arby's lunch.
