This is one of those experiences that went downhill quickly and viciously!
It started out well enough. The appearance of the fries was quite pleasant. I was actually looking forward to digging into them. The color was nice, they smelled good. I just didn’t notice the shine!
These fries were very very greasy and not in a good way. It was visible on the packaging and all over my fingers after eating just one. I did not know a fry could hold twice it’s weight in grease but I do now!
The spicing on the fries was good, in other words you could taste it. But what kept overbearing everything else was the taste of grease. They tasted just like the grease smells, yuck! Sadly, I had to stop eating them well before they were gone as I just couldn’t take the greasiness anymore. I may have to go get my arteries roto rootered out after this!
Conclusion, well I used to like Arby’s fries but I think this experience will change that forever!
How about a couple of photos of the artery cloggers:
Note the grease stains on the box!

I’m a fairly frequent visitor at Arby’s and, frankly, I like all their food with the exception of their fries.
I must admit, they are quite vile!
I won’t be ordering those fries. I think that’s the lowest rating you’ve given so far.
Their sandwiches are pretty good.
Have a great weekend.

I love the new toasted subs, I just do wish they had some decent fries to go along with them!
