What BBQ Items Are Back on the Arby’s Menu?
The returning BBQ menu includes two signature sandwiches and a new bowl option. Both sandwiches feature a quarter pound of slow-smoked meat, topped with pickles on a toasted brioche bun, served with your choice of sweet or spicy BBQ sauce.
- Quarter Pound Pulled Pork Sandwich
- Chopped Brisket Sandwich (featuring new chopped brisket)
- Mac Bowl (pulled pork or chopped brisket over white cheddar mac and cheese, finished with crispy onions and your choice of BBQ sauce)
How Long Is Arby’s BBQ Smoked?
Arby’s BBQ is made low and slow, with no shortcuts. The pulled pork is hickory-smoked for four hours, while the new chopped brisket is smoked for 13 hours. The chopped brisket features a mix of tender meat paired with caramelized, smoky bark, and the chopped technique allows for more evenly absorbed sauce in every bite.
What Is the New Arby’s Mac Bowl?
The Mac Bowl is a new menu addition layering a quarter pound of smoked pulled pork or chopped brisket over creamy white cheddar mac and cheese, finished with crispy onions and your choice of BBQ sauce. It delivers a hearty, comfort-food twist on the brand’s slow-smoked BBQ proteins.
