In an unexpected move, Arby's has quietly introduced a new, permanent burger lineup, including the Deluxe, Big Cheesy Bacon, and BBQ Bacon burgers. After years of limited-time offerings, fans can now enjoy Arby's unique twist on burgers any time.
Arby's Quietly Adds Burgers to Menu Permanently, Fulfilling Longtime Fans' Anticipation
While new fast-food launches often generate significant buzz, some updates fly under the radar. Arby's has quietly added a new permanent category to its menu: burgers, joining its iconic lineup of roast beef sandwiches. Although burgers aren't entirely new at Arby's, the chain had previously taken a Taco Bell Nacho Fries approach -- offering them as limited-time items before removing them, only to bring them back later. This approach, popularized by Taco Bell, involves introducing a product for a limited time to create a sense of urgency and excitement among customers.
Anticipation for a "permanent burger" menu at Arby's had been building for months, with rumors circulating on Reddit and fans eagerly awaiting confirmation. Now, the speculation has been met with excitement. An Arby's representative recently shared via email, "When Arby's introduced its first-ever burger for a limited time in 2022, fans went wild and asked for more. Arby's answered the call and added three premium burgers to the menu permanently." This news has been met with cheers from the Arby's community.
Arby's Unveils Three Flavor-Packed Burgers, Including Fan-Favorite Big Cheesy Bacon and BBQ Bacon
The new offerings at Arby's are not just your average burgers. They include the Deluxe, the Big Cheesy Bacon, and the BBQ Bacon burgers, each with unique flavor profiles. The Deluxe features Arby's signature burger patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and a secret sauce. The Big Cheesy Bacon Burger, a fan favorite, includes American and Swiss cheeses, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and secret sauce. Finally, the new BBQ Bacon Burger is topped with American cheese, bacon, crispy onions, pickles, and barbecue sauce, promising flavor in every bite.
The team at The Takeout has previously praised some of Arby's Wagyu burger iterations, though last year's three-meat Big Game Burger had mixed reviews. Demand for these burgers has been strong enough to warrant a permanent place on the menu. While this addition will satisfy burger enthusiasts and understand that many fans are still hoping for the return of Arby's beloved Potato Cakes.
