Arby's Curly Fries need major improvements...
4Arby’s has some passable roast beef sandwiches and nice milk shakes. However, everybody goes to Arby’s for the curly fries.
The problem is that you only get 2 or 3 legit curly fries, and the rest are just small scraps. Arby’s needs to take responsibility for this major mistake.
Here’s how Arby’s should define a curly fry
- must curl around a minimum of 2 times
- majority of fries in an order must have 3 or more curls
- any small scraps can be toss into the bottom of take out orders
Am I missing anything?

Umm… that fries are not good for you so don’t buy any then it won’t be a problem?
But yeah if they advertise curly you do expect more than scraps.
@Kidsandliz Blaspemy!!! Take it back about the fries, right now!!!

So if I understand that correctly, it’s ok to screw the carry out customers since they’re gonna be miles away before they discover they’ve been duped just like you were today?
@ruouttaurmind Maybe they recognized him as a PITA customer and saved all the scraps for him? I haven’t had Arby’s for awhile, but I always went to the drive through and was generally satisfied with the curly fries. The size of their sandwiches however, like most other fast food chains, seems to have shrunk a good deal in the last 10 to 15 years.

@ruouttaurmind no, he just means save them for “bag fries”, aka the bonus stragglers you can eat while driving the takeout home without guilt.
/giphy all the fries you can give me
@djslack @ruouttaurmind That giphy is making me both dizzy and hungry.
@djslack @phendrick @ruouttaurmind dingry?
You forgot the part where you blame the scapegoat.
(Also, congrats on your future nomination!)
Maybe you should find a better Arbys. While the packages of fries always contain some smaller pieces we always get a majority of complete curlies and at least a few multiloop coil spring fries
@duodec And where pray tell is this wonderous Arby’s that has ALL the complete curls so the rest of us are left with the scraps?
I had Arby’s just the other day and my fries had not one curly fry longer then 2" stretched out.
It’s sorta like getting a deep fried fish at Captain D’s that’s 90% deep fried batter and 10% questionable origin.
@Mehrocco_Mole That would be telling.
However: one of the stores in the northwest suburbs of the shithole called chicago. They were also one of the outlets that had the special one-day venison sandwich with the juniper berry barbecue sauce (tasty!) and the manager can make paper bags and cups do magical things (like a bartender on TV being a show-off).
I imagine they’re just more careful with the fries than your place.
I can not remember the last time I went to Arby’s but I think the fries were the only thing I did like. The roast beef is garbage. Taste like plastic.
@ponagathos Rarely have it but I love their orange cream shake.
I’ve never had any issues with Arby’s. Love their sandwiches, fries, and shakes a bunch! In fact, I ate there last night and it hit the spot, as always. Maybe I’m weird.
I had some a few days ago… mostly all long curly fries. and yummy!

Hardee’s Curly fries are way better. More curls.

@medz That looks like less curls.
… I’ve always thought that Arbys was the fast food joint with the greatest variability, kind of like you would get if your teenage servants were consequential elements in the food generation process.
Maybe there is a fry curling machine that one of the apes has to manipulate to produce the fries. That could explain everything.
@InnocuousFarmer well one is marketing photo and other real
@medz I always get curly fries like the top photo from Arbys.
I wonder your area has workers who don’t follow the franchise manual with the meticulous care and devotion that one would expect.
I mean, it seems unlikely.
@InnocuousFarmer it largely depends on if your order comes from the top or bottom of the frozen bag of curly fries. Like most things, the smaller bits will settle to the bottom, so the scoops off the top of a new batch will be bigger, more curly fries.
@medz sigh but I really wanted there to be like a potato sliver contortion machine. And an arcane operations manual. There could be like… a series of tensioner screws requiring careful calibration. Dials for setting radiuses. It could be wonderfully overcomplicated.
(Honestly though, I’ve never seen any variation in the fries… the sandwiches, sure…)
The top of the curly fry bag is my guess as to what your missing
or they have a fry cook snagging all the good ones and leaving the scrap curlies for the customers
The only arbys within an hour of us closed several years ago. It had gone way downhill and it had gotten to the point where i wouldn’t eat there.
However, my local grocery store sells arby curly fries in the freezer section. They’re not the same but they fill the void.
