It’s Fun To Try New Things #SmokehouseBrisket

This post brought to you by Arby’s. All opinions are 100% mine.

Today I told my husband we’d be trying out something new. A Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich, to be specific, available at Arby’s. He fist pumped and said “Yeah!”, so I knew he was on board. (trying out tasty new foods is always fun)

We headed over to Arby’s, where the Smokehouse Brisket sandwich is featured as the popular new menu item, and I had lunch with my three men. Arby’s are not very common in my area (the closest one popped up near the university I attended years after I was a student there, or else I probably would have made a lot of late night runs with friends over there during late night crash sessions before big exams). Luckily, it looks like more are coming, and are near some of our favorite shops, so we know where to find them from now on.

My sons had fun with the curly fries, and my husband proclaimed the Smokehouse Brisket sandwich as very good. So what is in the very good sandwich? Layers of brisket beef, slow smoked for at least 13 hours and very tender, topped with a thick layer of Gouda cheese, crisp onions, barbecue sauce and some mayo. It’s served on a toasted, bakery style bun.

We tried the chicken sandwich too, because I love chicken, and that was pretty darned tasty too. A side note: I was really surprised by how polite the staff was (on the phone when I called for directions, walking in- they rushed to hold the doors open for the lady with the little kids, and while we ate). What I thought would be a fast food experience was actually a nice family lunch experience, but with food served fast.

    I’ve loved Arbys for 25 years! I first was introduced when I was pregnant with my first child (who is now 25, OMG!!). I had the Arby’s Beef & Cheddar and fell in love. It is still my favorite sandwich!!

  • I love their Rueben Sandwiches. No one else in my house likes sauerkraut, so I get one whenever we go. This sandwich sounds really good though and I’d like to try it. I love a good brisket.
