Maybe youโ€™ve heard of the legend of the Arbyโ€™s Meat Mountain โ€” a sandwich stacked with every meat on the Arbyโ€™s menu. This behemoth of a sandwich has been on the unofficial Arbyโ€™s secret menu for nearly a decade. Those who tackle the Arbyโ€™s Meat Mountain often end their meal with grudging respect โ€” this truly is a sandwich worthy of its alternate name, โ€œMeat Everest.โ€

But the Arbyโ€™s Meat Mountain isnโ€™t the only interesting item on the Arbyโ€™s menu (secret or otherwise). We have all the details for you on what it takes to order this secret menu item, along with additional Arbyโ€™s hacks for great deals, the skinny on the 2 for 6 deal, Arbyโ€™s Happy Hour, and more ways to save on Arbyโ€™s.

Use this 14-step guide to find the best Arbyโ€™s deals and coupons, learn the price of the Meat Mountain, and how you can make the most of the menu.

ย 

1. Sign up for Arbyโ€™s email list to get a coupon for 50% off a Smokehouse Brisket sandwich or Gyro with purchase.

As soon as you sign up for an Arbyโ€™s account online, your 50% off voucher for a Smokehouse sandwich or Gyro will be sent to your email โ€” or shown in the โ€œDealsโ€ section if you signed up through the Arbyโ€™s app (iOS / Android).

Redeem the Arbyโ€™s coupon online or in-store with purchase of another menu item.

ย 

2. Get other valuable Arbyโ€™s coupons from their email list, which will help you save on the Arbyโ€™s Meat Mountain.

Arbyโ€™s sends their email list subscribers coupons and menu announcements about three times a week, so the perks just keep on coming.

Weโ€™ve seen coupons like two Market Fresh sandwiches for $7, BOGO sandwiches or wraps, and a free small fries and drink with the purchase of a Brisket Bacon Nโ€™ Beef.

Itโ€™s really the best way to get the best Arbyโ€™s deals. Arbyโ€™s coupons hard to find anywhere else.

ย 

3. Get the Arbyโ€™s Meat Mountain and other brag-worthy creations when you order from the Arbyโ€™s secret menu.

You can mix and match various meats and breads on the Arbyโ€™s menu to create some delicious combos, which is why Arbyโ€™s has one of the most extensive secret menus in the biz. Here are some of our favorite options on Arbyโ€™s secret menu.

The Arbyโ€™s Meat Mountain: $10.00

Nothing proves โ€œWe got the meatsโ€ like The Meat Mountain secret menu sandwich.

Hereโ€™s how you order:

  • Two crispy chicken tenders
  • Roast turkey ham
  • One slice of Swiss cheese
  • Corned brisket
  • Angus steak
  • One piece of cheddar cheese
  • Roast beef
  • Three half-strips of bacon

Note: They wouldnโ€™t make this meat-tastic burger for us at our local Arbyโ€™s, but you can try asking for a sandwich with every meat they have on the menu and then adding Swiss and cheddar cheese to it.

The Bread Switch: $0

You can get any sandwich made with a different bread at no extra cost. We got the French Dip Swiss with an onion roll instead of the sub roll.

Hereโ€™s how you order:

  • Choose any sandwich on the menu
  • Switch the bread for a sesame seed bun, onion roll, sub roll, rye, brioche, or honey wheat bread ($0)

Bacon Mac & Cheese: $3.29

The White Cheddar Mac & Cheese is a new item on the menu and is only available for a limited time. You can add a little bacon on it for some added protein.

Hereโ€™s how you order:

  • Ask for the White Cheddar Mac & Cheese ($3.29)
  • Add bacon ($0)

Note: If your Arbyโ€™s canโ€™t/wonโ€™t make this for you, ask for bacon on the side (which is free) and add it yourself.

Double French Dip: $7

The French Dip Swiss is already pretty meaty, with layers of roast beef sitting on top of a sub roll with Swiss cheese. However, increase the protein by asking for double the meat.

Hereโ€™s how you order:

  • Order the French Dip Swiss ($6)
  • Ask for extra roast beef ($1)

Roast Turkey โ€˜N Cheddar: $3.99

Similar to the Beef โ€˜N Cheddar but with a meat switch, this is an Arbyโ€™s secret menu hack that will give you fewer calories than the Beef โ€˜N Cheddar.

Hereโ€™s how you order:

  • Order the Classic Beef โ€˜N Cheddar ($3.99)
  • Ask to replace the roast beef with turkey ($0)

4. You may have to make your own Arbyโ€™s Meat Mountain.

My local Arbyโ€™s wouldnโ€™t make this meat-tastic burger, but no worries. . . you have options. You can either ask the person to give you every kind of meat and cheese, or you can individually order these menu items and put it together yourself. Fair warning: This way is more expensive, so be nice to your cashier โ€” it may save you some cash!

If you have to, hereโ€™s what you order to create the legendary Arbyโ€™s Meat Mountain โ€” for around $24:

  • Crispy chicken tenders: 3 pieces for $3.69
  • Turkey slider: $1.49
  • Ham slider: $1.49
  • Smokehouse brisket with Swiss & bacon: $7.09
  • Steak fajita flatbread: $4.99
  • Classic Roast Beef with slice of cheddar: $4.99

ย 

5. Get the Arbyโ€™s 2 for 6 and stack two popular menu items for only $6.

Arbyโ€™s 2 for 6 deal is one of their most popular options on the menu, and thatโ€™s because itโ€™s a quick way to save up to 27%. Order two items from their list for just $6.

The items included in this list change depending on your location, but here are some recent items weโ€™ve seen on the 2 for 6:

  • White Cheddar Mac & Cheese (reg. $3.50)
  • Classic Roast Beef (reg. $4)
  • Chicken Cheddar Ranch (reg. $4.70)

So instead of paying $8.20 for a White Cheddar Mac & Cheese and the Chicken Cheddar Ranch, youโ€™re only spending $6 โ€” a 27% savings!

Note: Arbyโ€™s 2 for 6 isnโ€™t available at all locations, so give your local Arbyโ€™s a call and see if they have the deal.

ย 

6. Order a Double Roast Beef sandwich and an extra bun to save $2 on two sandwiches.

The Double Roast Beef sandwich is $6, with exactly twice the meat of the Classic Roast Beef Sandwich (reg. $4).

To pocket $2 in savings, get the Double Roast Beef and ask for an extra bun at no cost. Boom. Two sandwiches!

TIP: Want to add a tasty crunch to your sandwich or wrap? Customize your favorite Arbyโ€™s sandwich by adding some onion tanglers โ€” free of charge. (Theyโ€™re Arbyโ€™s version of crispy fried onions.)

ย 

7. Go during Arbyโ€™s Happy Hour to get sliders, drinks, fries, and shakes for just $1.

You can feed four people for $20 during Arbyโ€™s happy hour.

Between 2 and 5 p.m. every day, you can get one of Arbyโ€™s sliders for just $1 (reg. $2). Arbyโ€™s Happy Hour also has $1 small drinks (reg. $1.59), $1 small curly fries (reg. $1.69), and $1 small shakes (reg. $1.99).

ย 

ย 

8. Get 2.2 oz more of meat when you order five Roast Beef sliders during Happy Hour instead of one regular Double Roast Beef sandwich.

The Double Roast Beef sandwich costs $6.39 and is filled with 5.3 oz of meat. To get more for your money, order five Roast Beef sliders during Happy Hour when theyโ€™re just $1 apiece.

Youโ€™ll end up with 7.5 oz of meat, and will have spent $1.39 less.

ย 

9. Seniors get free drinks and 10% off.

If youโ€™re 55 and over, you can get 10% off your order at Arbyโ€™s with a senior discount.

If youโ€™re a senior, youโ€™ll either enjoy a free drink (varies in size depending on your location), 10% off your order, or both. Most Arbyโ€™s have some form of a senior discount, but not all of them do. But we have lots more senior discounts to tell you about if youโ€™re interested.

TIP: You know who else gets 10% off at Arbyโ€™s? Military personnel and veterans (at select locations). Just present a military ID.

ย 

10. Get a free shake and small Arbyโ€™s curly fries on your birthday.

Arbyโ€™s birthday reward for account holders is one of the best weโ€™ve seen: A free shake (reg. $1.99) AND free small curly fries (reg. $1.69).

Sign up for Arbyโ€™s emails and create your account, and then a week before your birthday, youโ€™ll get the coupon in your inbox, ready to be redeemed online or at the restaurant.

ย 

ย 

11. Does Arbyโ€™s have breakfast? Yes, depending on your location.

Arbyโ€™s breakfast does exist, but only around 200 of the 3,000 locations have it.

โ€œWhatโ€™s on the Arbyโ€™s breakfast menu?โ€ you ask? No, not roast beef. They have bacon, egg and cheese biscuits; ham, egg and cheese biscuits; and ham, egg and cheese on sourdough bread.

If your Arbyโ€™s serves breakfast, generally theyโ€™ll be serving it from 6 to 10:30 a.m. daily (although times vary by location). To find an Arbyโ€™s near you that serves breakfast, call up your nearest Arbyโ€™s and ask.

Now, if only there was an Arbyโ€™s Meat Mountain: Breakfast edition.

ย 

12. Save $0.15 per oz on Arbyโ€™s curly fries by grabbing the frozen bag at the grocery store.

The large curly fries at Arbyโ€™s is 7.1 oz and costs $2.29. The bag of Arbyโ€™s curly fries from the grocery store is 22 oz and costs $3.79.

For the large curly fries, youโ€™re paying $0.32 per oz, and with the 22 oz bag youโ€™re paying $0.17 per oz โ€” thatโ€™s $0.15 per oz savings if you buy them from the grocery store!

ย 

13. Skip following their social media accounts if youโ€™re hunting for more Arbyโ€™s deals.

If youโ€™re looking for more Arbyโ€™s deals, then following their Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok accounts wonโ€™t help you much.

However, their Twitter is updated pretty regularly and has pretty sassy content to give you some laughs.

ย 

14. Work at Arbyโ€™s to get at least 50% off your workday meals.

Arbyโ€™s employees get 50% off meals they purchase during their breaks or before or after work shifts. And yeah, that includes the Arbyโ€™s Meat Mountain (if your coworkers will make it for you).

Managers get an extra perk: one completely free meal per workday.
