How to Order

1Choose pickup, drive-thru or deliveryOrder ahead on arbys.com or the Arby’s app for pickup or drive-thru, or order delivery through the app or a third-party platform where available.
2Select your restaurant firstArby’s ordering flow is counter/drive-thru/pickup/delivery only — there’s no table service, so confirming the right restaurant before ordering matters.
3Confirm the local menuItem availability, like Breakfast or specific Kids Meal and side options, can differ by restaurant, as our own research found.
4Review the final totalAdd-ons, upgrades, taxes and any Arby’s Deals offer applied at checkout can change the total shown on the receipt.

See our complete menu prices guide for exact three-city pricing on every category, or a specialist child guide above for Value Menu, Breakfast, Nutrition, Steak Nuggets, Roast Beef or Kids Menu specifically.

Arby’s Deals

Arby’s app-based offer program is called Arby’s Deals. According to Arby’s own official deals page, new members who sign up receive 25% off their order, plus five more offers unlocked after redeeming that first deal. The page also highlighted a rotating promotion — a “BOGO any size side” offer running once a week for members during our research window — as an example of the ongoing app-exclusive deals members can expect.

Arby’s Deals is structured as an offer-and-coupon program delivered through the app rather than a traditional points-per-dollar loyalty system with membership tiers — treat any third-party claim about a specific points system as unverified unless Arby’s own official page confirms it. Deals are redeemed by ordering directly through the Arby’s app.

For real current pricing on the items Arby’s Deals discounts, see our complete Arby’s Menu Prices guide or the Value Menu guide.

Arby’s Locations

According to a ScrapeHero count of Arby’s US locations, there were 3,413 Arby’s restaurants in the United States as of April 16, 2024 — the most current independently-sourced figure available at the time of our research, and explicitly dated as such rather than presented as a live, up-to-the-minute count. Arby’s parent company is Inspire Brands, which also owns Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic, Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins, among other chains.

For a nearby restaurant, use the official location finder. Open the selected restaurant’s page to check its address, hours, drive-thru availability and current promotions. Hours, service options and menu availability — including Breakfast — can differ between nearby restaurants, as our own three-city research found.

A Short Brand History

Brothers Forrest and Leroy Raffel opened the first Arby’s in Boardman, Ohio on July 23, 1964, built entirely around a slow-roasted roast beef sandwich at a time when nearly every fast food competitor was focused on hamburgers — that original sandwich is the direct ancestor of today’s Classic Roast Beef. The brand has changed ownership several times since, and is now owned by Inspire Brands.

1964 — Forrest and Leroy Raffel open the first Arby’s in Boardman, Ohio, built around a roast beef sandwich.
1976 — The chain is sold to RC Cola for $18 million.
1984 — Victor Posner acquires Arby’s in a hostile takeover through DWG Corporation.
2008 — Then-owner Triarc purchases Wendy’s, forming the Wendy’s/Arby’s Group.
2011 — Roark Capital Group acquires an 81.5% stake in Arby’s; Wendy’s retains an 18.5% minority stake.
2017 — Arby’s announces the acquisition of Buffalo Wild Wings for $2.4 billion; the parent company is renamed Inspire Brands.
2026 — Steak Nuggets and the Steak ‘n Potato/Steak ‘n Mac Bowls are actively promoted as a “what’s new” lineup on Arby’s live ordering menu.

Arby’s is one of several restaurant brands operated by Inspire Brands, alongside Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic, Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins.

Arby’s Nutrition and Allergen Information

Our three-city research captured calories for every canonical menu item, and — unlike prices — calories matched exactly at all three restaurants checked for every item, so no ranges were needed for calories the way they were for prices. Calories run from 0 Cal (Bottled Water) up to 1,710 Cal (Half Pound Cheesesteak Meal); see our dedicated Nutrition Menu guide for the full calorie-range-by-category breakdown and the lightest and highest-calorie picks.

This research pass covered pricing and calories, not ingredient-level allergen data. For allergen information, use Arby’s official nutrition and allergen documentation or ask restaurant staff directly, since preparation and shared kitchen equipment can affect cross-contact risk. Our Arby’s Menu Prices guide and each child guide preserve these calorie figures category by category.

Our Methodology

This entity hub was verified on 27 Aug 2026. Brand history and founding facts were checked against Wikipedia’s Arby’s entry, cross-referenced for historical dates only, not for any current-state figure. The restaurant count (3,413 US locations) was checked against a ScrapeHero location report dated April 16, 2024 — the most current independently-sourced figure available, dated explicitly rather than presented as live.

Arby’s Deals terms were checked against Arby’s official deals page at arbys.com/deals. The price snapshot uses the same fixed three-city research published in our complete menu pillar and specialist child pages — Fort Worth, Orlando and Columbus. Each figure belongs to its named restaurant. No national price is inferred, no missing value is estimated and delivery totals are excluded. This hub summarizes the cluster; detailed tables remain on their dedicated pages.
