Arby's Steak Nuggets 5PC Meal

About the Steak Nuggets 5PC Meal

Arby's Steak Nuggets 5PC Meal is the entry point to the steak nugget combos, priced at $10.39 with a total of 740 cal for five nuggets, fries and a drink.

Those five pieces come from the Steak Nuggets 5PC order, smoky steak cut small, then seasoned, seared and cooked low and slow until tender. A dipping sauce of your choice comes with them. Alone, the nuggets sell for $5.89 and count 140 cal, with 20 grams of protein.

Picture each nugget as a two bite piece of slow cooked steak with a seared outside. They are firm enough to dunk without falling apart, and the smoky seasoning means they taste good even before the sauce hits them. They also make a beefier snack than a slider for anyone tired of chicken.

How much is the Steak Nuggets 5PC Meal against the nuggets on their own? The meal costs more by enough to cover fries and a fountain drink, and that bump matches the same upgrade amount you see on the nine piece combo. At the Austin, TX Arby's, small fries and a small drink bought separately would cost a hair more than the bump. Prices in your city can differ.

Here the sides do most of the calorie work. Five nuggets add just 140 cal, and almost everything else on the receipt is potato and soda. A zero sugar soda and a shared fry order bring the meal down toward a light lunch.

This combo fits a smaller appetite, a teen who wants something different from chicken, or an afternoon meal that will not ruin dinner. Hungrier diners should look at the Steak Nuggets 9PC Meal, which adds four nuggets for $14.39.

The Meat & 3 Box is the main rival on price. For $7.99 you pick one of three sandwiches and get fries, a drink and two bonus snacks around it. It costs less and fills more space on the tray, but it has no steak. The Value Menu offers even smaller, cheaper bites.

To stretch the meal, add a Roast Beef Slider. A Strawberry Lemonade also makes a bright partner for the smoky nuggets.
