Secret Menu at Arby’s
The Arby’s secret menu is not hidden inside a locked meat vault guarded by a man named Doug wearing a roast-beef-colored polo. It lives in the glorious gray zone between “custom order,” “discontinued fan favorite,” “limited-time ghost,” and “customer looked at a sandwich and asked, ‘But what if it had bacon, Swiss, cheddar sauce, Horsey Sauce, and the emotional density of a tractor tire?’”
Arby’s is already built for this nonsense. The regular menu includes Classic Roast Beef, Beef ’n Cheddar, French Dip, Reuben, gyros, turkey, chicken, brisket, burgers, curly fries, crinkle fries, mozzarella sticks, jalapeño bites, shakes, turnovers, and enough sauces to make a sandwich feel like it needs a project manager. The official menu currently lists slow-roasted beef options like Classic Roast Beef, Double Roast Beef, Half Pound Roast Beef, Beef ’n Cheddar, French Dip Royale, and Classic French Dip & Swiss. It also lists sides like Curly Fries, Crinkle Fries, Mozzarella Sticks, Jalapeño Bites, and Potato Cakes.
So yes, congratulations. You found the Arby’s secret menu. Please order clearly, tip your sauce packet goblin, and do not say “Meat Mountain” with the seriousness of a man invoking ancient prophecy unless you are emotionally ready for what happens next.
How to Order From the Arby’s Secret Menu
The secret is to order the ingredients, not just the nickname. Some employees may know the Meat Mountain, Super Roast Beef, or Arby’s Melt. Some may not. These people are making sandwiches, not decoding roast-beef scripture in a monastery basement.
Say: “Can I get a Classic Roast Beef with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and Red Ranch?”
Do not say: “I need the forbidden Beef Cathedral from TikTok.”
Arby’s customization is real. In a 2026 Allrecipes interview, Arby’s brand president David Graves said he orders a Classic Roast Beef with shredded lettuce, tomato, and Horsey Sauce, and the article notes that customers can modify sandwiches with vegetables, cheese, bacon, Red Ranch, and even bun changes.
1. The Meat Mountain
The Meat Mountain is the Arby’s secret menu final boss. It is less a sandwich and more a livestock census trapped between buns.
How to order it: Ask for the Meat Mountain. If the employee does not know it, ask for a sandwich with every available meat, plus Swiss and cheddar. Be very clear. Be very polite. Be prepared for the total to look like your sandwich applied for financing.
Allrecipes tested the Meat Mountain and described it as a secret-menu sandwich with chicken tenders, ham, turkey, pastrami, roast beef, bacon, and two cheeses. Thrillist’s earlier version listed two chicken tenders, bacon, roast turkey, ham, corned beef, brisket, Angus steak, roast beef, cheddar, and Swiss. The exact meat lineup can vary depending on location and what is currently on the menu, because even a meat monument must obey supply chains.
This is the order for people who read “We Have the Meats” and thought, “Prove it.”
2. Super Roast Beef
The Super Roast Beef is for people who love the Classic Roast Beef but want it to stop looking like it lost a custody battle with lettuce.
How to order it: Ask for a Classic Roast Beef with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and Red Ranch.
The Classic Roast Beef is thinly sliced roast beef on a toasted sesame seed bun, and Arby’s itself recommends pairing it with Arby’s Sauce or Horsey Sauce. Cozymeal lists the Super Roast Beef as roast beef with tomato, lettuce, mayo, and Red Ranch sauce.
This is one of the best Arby’s secret menu orders because it actually makes sense. It adds crunch, freshness, creaminess, and tang without turning lunch into a geological formation made of ham.
3. The Arby’s Melt
The Arby’s Melt is a beautiful old-school move: roast beef plus cheddar sauce, without the full Beef ’n Cheddar red-ranch-onion-roll performance.
How to order it: Ask for a Classic Roast Beef with cheddar cheese sauce. Or order a Beef ’n Cheddar without Red Ranch if you want a similar build.
The official Beef ’n Cheddar is roast beef with cheddar cheese sauce and zesty Red Ranch on a toasted onion roll. Cozymeal describes the Arby’s Melt as a roast beef sandwich with melted cheddar, or a Beef ’n Cheddar without the ranch sauce.
This is the secret menu item for people who believe cheese sauce should be present but not accompanied by a full condiment parade.
4. Bacon Beef ’n Cheddar
The Bacon Beef ’n Cheddar is what happens when someone looks at an already sauced roast beef sandwich and says, “Good. Now add pork strips, because restraint has no place in this building.”
How to order it: Ask for a Classic, Double, or Half Pound Beef ’n Cheddar with bacon added.
The Beef ’n Cheddar already has roast beef, cheddar sauce, Red Ranch, and an onion roll. Cozymeal lists the Bacon Beef ’n Cheddar as a secret menu hack that simply adds bacon to that sandwich.
This is a very easy secret menu order because bacon improves most things, except perhaps financial planning and white shirts.
5. Double Stacked Reuben
The Double Stacked Reuben is for people who enjoy the Reuben but feel it lacks the mass of a small deli brick.
How to order it: Ask for a Corned Beef Reuben with extra meat.
Arby’s Corned Beef Reuben is made with marbled rye, freshly sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing. Cozymeal lists the Double Stacked Reuben as a Reuben with double meat.
This is the correct order if your main complaint about a Reuben is, “Not enough sandwich per sandwich.”
6. Turkey Reuben
The Turkey Reuben is the Reuben’s slightly lighter cousin, which is to say it still has cheese, dressing, rye, and sauerkraut, but now everyone gets to pretend turkey made it responsible.
How to order it: Ask for a Reuben with turkey instead of corned beef. Add extra sauerkraut if you enjoy tangy chaos.
Cozymeal lists the Turkey Reuben as a secret menu item made by swapping the corned beef in the regular Reuben for turkey. Arby’s menu also includes turkey-based sandwiches like the Roast Turkey Ranch & Bacon, made with oven-roasted turkey, bacon, cheddar, red onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and ranch on honey wheat bread.
This is a smart order if you like the Reuben format but want less cured-beef intensity. Basically: deli drama, but with a lower voice.
7. Roast Beef and Swiss
The Roast Beef and Swiss is almost too obvious, which is why people forget to order it. Arby’s roast beef plus Swiss cheese. That’s it. That’s the hack. Sometimes civilization does not need a 14-step sauce ritual.
How to order it: Ask for a Classic Roast Beef with Swiss cheese. Add lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, spicy brown mustard, or Horsey Sauce if you want it dressed up.
The Classic Roast Beef gives you the roast beef and sesame bun base. Cozymeal lists Roast Beef and Swiss as a hidden-menu build, recommending optional toppings like tomato, lettuce, onion, mayo, and spicy brown mustard.
This is the secret menu item for people who want to feel like they discovered something without building a sandwich tall enough to need a permit.
8. Half Pound French Dip & Swiss
The French Dip is already one of Arby’s better ideas: roast beef, Swiss, a sub roll, and au jus. The secret menu move is making it bigger, because apparently soup-dipping meat bread needed bulk pricing.
How to order it: Ask for the Classic French Dip & Swiss with extra roast beef, or ask if a Half Pound French Dip is available.
Arby’s Classic French Dip & Swiss is roast beef, Swiss, a sub roll, and French au jus sauce. Arby’s Canada menu has also listed a French Dip ’n Swiss Half Pound, showing the beefed-up version exists in some form depending on market.
This is for people who want a sandwich and a dipping ritual, because dry eating is for cowards and sad desk lunches.
9. Loaded Curly Fries
Loaded Curly Fries are the obvious secret menu side because curly fries already look like they escaped a carnival and joined a seasoning cult.
How to order it: Ask for Curly Fries with cheddar cheese sauce, bacon, and ranch or sour cream if available. If your location will not build it, order the components and perform the sacred parking-lot assembly yourself.
Arby’s U.S. menu lists Curly Fries, while Arby’s Canada lists Loaded Curly Fries topped with chopped bacon, shredded cheddar, sour cream, and cheddar cheese sauce.
This is not a side. This is fries getting promoted to “meal” while your sandwich watches in horror.
10. Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries
This one is the loaded-fries order for people who think fries need poultry, bacon, cheese, and ranch, because apparently potatoes alone were not carrying enough emotional burden.
How to order it: Ask for fries topped with chopped chicken tenders, bacon, cheddar cheese sauce, and peppercorn ranch or ranch. Curly fries are the move, obviously, unless your location insists on crinkle fries like a procedural tyrant.
Allrecipes reported that Arby’s brought back Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries as a limited-time item in 2024, made with crinkle-cut fries topped with crispy chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese sauce, and peppercorn ranch.
This is the kind of thing you order when you want “a snack” but your snack arrives requiring a fork, napkins, and a personal reckoning.
11. Fancy Grilled Cheese
The Fancy Grilled Cheese is the secret menu order for vegetarians, cheese loyalists, and anyone who walked into Arby’s and said, “I do not want the meats,” which is brave in the same way walking into a shark tank with a flute is brave.
How to order it: Ask for your preferred bread with cheddar and Swiss, grilled or toasted if possible. Add tomato, onions, or peppers if available.
Cozymeal describes this as ordering a sandwich without meat and adding cheese, or simply asking for bread with cheese, then having it lightly grilled.
Is Arby’s the natural home of grilled cheese? No. But that is what makes it secret-menu behavior. You are making the meat temple perform dairy minimalism. Bold little rebellion.
12. Ultimate BLT
The Ultimate BLT is a retired-menu-style secret order for people who trust bacon more than society.
How to order it: Ask for bread with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Add cheddar or Horsey Sauce if you want the sandwich to develop a louder personality.
Cozymeal lists the Ultimate BLT as a secret menu item made with bread, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.
This is a good order because it is simple, crunchy, salty, and not trying to climb Meat Mountain in public like some deli Sherpa with a debit card.
13. Turkey ’n Cheddar
The Turkey ’n Cheddar is a Beef ’n Cheddar for people who want the cheddar sauce and onion roll experience without committing to roast beef. A sandwich compromise, which is sad but sometimes necessary.
How to order it: Ask for a Beef ’n Cheddar with turkey instead of roast beef.
Cozymeal lists the Turkey ’n Cheddar as a Beef ’n Cheddar-style sandwich with turkey replacing the beef. The regular Beef ’n Cheddar’s structure is roast beef, cheddar sauce, Red Ranch, and toasted onion roll, so the swap is conceptually simple even if availability depends on the store.
This is not as iconic as the original. But it is still cheese sauce on a bun, and that does a lot of diplomatic work.
14. Brand President Roast Beef Hack
This one has executive energy, which is funny because it is just a roast beef sandwich with vegetables and Horsey Sauce. Truly, leadership.
How to order it: Ask for a Classic Roast Beef with shredded lettuce, tomato, and Horsey Sauce.
Arby’s brand president David Graves told Allrecipes that his everyday favorite is the Classic Roast Beef with shredded lettuce, tomato, and a packet of Horsey Sauce.
This is the most normal secret menu item on the list, which is exactly why it might be one of the best. It takes Arby’s basic roast beef and adds crunch, freshness, and horseradish bite without building a sandwich visible from space.
15. Chicken Bacon Swiss, Extra Horsey
The Chicken Bacon Swiss is already doing the most: crispy chicken, bacon, Swiss, lettuce, tomato, and honey mustard on brioche. The secret menu move is adding Horsey Sauce or swapping the honey mustard if you want more bite.
How to order it: Ask for a Chicken Bacon Swiss with Horsey Sauce on the side, or with honey mustard replaced if the location allows it.
Arby’s Chicken Bacon Swiss is a crispy chicken breast with bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and honey mustard on a brioche bun.
Horsey Sauce turns it from “sweet chicken sandwich” into “horseradish chicken bacon dairy incident,” which is better than it has any right to be.
16. Jamocha Turnover Dip
This is the dessert hack for people who understand that the Jamocha Shake is not merely a beverage. It is a dip wearing a straw.
How to order it: Get a Jamocha Shake and an Apple or Cherry Turnover. Dip the turnover into the shake like a person who has stopped pretending dessert needs rules.
Arby’s Jamocha Shake is described as a chocolate-and-coffee flavored shake, and the dessert menu lists Jamocha Shake, Chocolate Shake, Vanilla Shake, Apple Turnover, and Cherry Turnover.
Is dipping pastry into a milkshake mature? No. Is it correct? Disturbingly, yes.
Best Arby’s Secret Menu Orders by Mood
For maximum Arby’s legend status, order the Meat Mountain. It is the sandwich equivalent of yelling “all of it” into a meat slicer.
For roast beef purists, get the Super Roast Beef, Arby’s Melt, Roast Beef and Swiss, or the Brand President Roast Beef Hack. These are actually useful upgrades, not just meat-based performance art.
For Reuben people, get the Double Stacked Reuben or Turkey Reuben. One is deli excess. The other is deli compromise with sauerkraut.
For side-order goblins, get Loaded Curly Fries or Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries. Fries are not a side at Arby’s. They are curly little sauce scaffolds.
For dessert people, get the Jamocha Turnover Dip. It is stupid. It is delicious. The two are not enemies.
How to Order Without Becoming an Arby’s Menace
Order the base item first, then the modifications.
Good: “Can I get a Classic Roast Beef with cheddar sauce and no Red Ranch?”
Bad: “I need the forbidden cheddar beef relic.”
Good: “Can I get Curly Fries with cheese sauce and bacon?”
Bad: “Give me the secret loaded potato snake pile.”
Expect extra charges for extra meat, cheese, bacon, sauces, and special builds. The Meat Mountain especially can get expensive; Allrecipes noted its test order cost more than a normal roast beef sandwich, and Cozymeal estimates the Meat Mountain can run much higher depending on meats, quantities, and location.
Also, be flexible. Arby’s menus vary by location and limited-time items come and go, because fast-food chains enjoy emotionally destabilizing people who once loved a sandwich in 2012.
Allergy and Nutrition Notes, Because Secret Menus Are Not Protected by Horsey Sauce
Custom orders change allergens and nutrition fast. Add cheese sauce, Swiss, bacon, chicken, ranch, rye bread, turnover pastry, or shake ingredients, and your “simple order” becomes a nutrition spreadsheet with a bun. Arby’s publishes nutrition, allergen, ingredient, and gluten-free menu guides for checking specifics.
Do not assume a secret menu item is safe because a stranger online called it “fire.” Fire is not an allergen policy.
The Real Secret at Arby’s
The real Arby’s secret menu is not one hidden sandwich. It is the meat-and-sauce system.
Roast beef becomes Super Roast Beef. Beef ’n Cheddar gets bacon. Reubens get doubled. Turkey steals beef’s cheese sauce. Curly fries become loaded. Chicken gets Horsey Sauce. The Jamocha Shake becomes pastry dip. And the Meat Mountain sits above it all, watching humanity behave exactly as expected.
Arby’s gives you the meats.
The secret menu gives you permission to stack them like a maniac with a coupon and a loose understanding of lunch.
Order clearly. Ask nicely. Grab napkins.
And remember: the best Arby’s secret menu items are not hidden because they are impossible.
They are hidden because most people lack the courage to look at a roast beef sandwich and say, “Yes, but what if it became infrastructure?”
