Arby's Classic Beef 'n Cheddar Meal Price and Calories

About the Classic Beef 'n Cheddar Meal

Arby's Classic Beef 'n Cheddar Meal costs $10.79 and totals 1,020 cal, wrapping the cheddar topped roast beef sandwich into a combo with fries and a drink.

Arby's describes the Classic Beef 'n Cheddar with a wink: people said it could not get better, so the kitchen took its famous roast beef, added Cheddar cheese sauce and zesty Red Ranch, served it on a toasted onion roll, and then said I told you so. By itself, the sandwich is $6.29 and 450 cal, with 23 grams of protein.

Each part pulls its weight. The roast beef is shaved thin and stacked loose, so it stays tender. Cheddar sauce gives a warm, salty coat, and Red Ranch adds a zesty, slightly sweet tang that cuts through the cheese. The toasted onion roll replaces the sesame seed bun used on the Classic Roast Beef, so the same meat lands on a more savory base.

The Classic Beef 'n Cheddar Meal price makes it one of the friendlier combos in the roast beef family. Twice the beef costs $12.19 in the Double Beef 'n Cheddar Meal, and the half pound combo tops the family at $14.19. These figures were pulled from a single Austin, TX restaurant, and the menu board at your nearest Arby's can read a little differently.

What do you pay for the combo itself? Subtract one from the other and the leftover buys your fries and fountain drink. Bought on their own, a small Curly Fries at $2.29 and the smallest soda at $2.29 add up to a few cents more.

Calorie wise, the meal's 1,020 cal compares with 450 cal for the sandwich alone. Fries and soda own that gap, so order unsweet tea and the meal drifts back toward the sandwich figure.

This is a good everyday lunch, a first order for someone new to Arby's, or a quick dinner that does not require a big appetite. Tight budgets should still glance at the Meat & 3 Box, a $7.99 tray built around chicken or ham sandwich choices with three extras, and at the Value Menu.

A Vanilla Shake makes a cool partner for the cheddar sauce. For dessert, add an Apple Turnover.
