Hooray for Horsey Sauce!
Really, that's one of the best things about Arby's. Â They're one of the only places out there with little packets of horseradish sauce that pair up perfectly with the roast beef sandwiches they serve up here.
You just need to make sure you spot the place, as it's still buried beneath the construction scaffolding along Wells and probably will remain there for a long time, knowing the construction schedule here in Chicago.
It remains undiscovered by most, even with a large "Grand Opening" banner under the scaffold that's been there for at least a couple of weeks. Â Standard Arby's fare can be found inside - those roast beef sammiches, chicken sammiches and curly fries and their other food bits.
My only dismay with the place is their lack of "5 for $5" deals, but that's a franchise thing, not something one can say about a location in particular. Â One thing that CAN be said about this palce in particular is that for some reason, it's always empty. Â I'm the only one in there, and as they're in the back, making up my order, I can hear laughing and chatting. Â I guess they're not busy or anything, but it's a little off-putting to hear Spanish snickering out of sight while you're waiting for your food. Â I do understand Spanish, but not when it's being whispered or interspersed between chuckles.
I can only hope they're not making fun of me. Â Because all I'm doing is eating Arby's.
And if that's something that warrants laughter - go ahead and laugh. Â Because when it's 5 for $5 time, you can bet your ass I'll be back with a backpack and an empty belly craving a pile of roast beef and Horsey Sauce.
