I like Arby’s. The roast beef sandwich with their Arby’s sauce, their beef and cheddar, even their chicken sandwiches. They are delicious. Their curly fries have no equal, and the potato cakes are great too.

    Chains aren’t necessarily popular because they’re great, but because they’re accessible and predictable.

        I used to eat there a lot when they had the never ending riblets. Wouldn’t be surprised if I am the reason they stopped doing that. On more than one occasion the manager gave me coupons for so much % off the next visit if I would leave.

        Pretty much every big national chain in America has followed the same trend line. Fridays, chilli’s etc. They all rose.to popularity, spread all over and once they reached saturation started cheating out on ingredients and quality control to make more money.
