Arby’s Just Made Its Best Value Meal Even Better

Healthy Fact of the Day

The Meat & 3 Box includes a Peach Cobbler Roll as one of the three sides — a sweet dessert item that adds calories most people don't factor into a fast food meal. Swapping your mindset around the box helps: treat the Peach Cobbler Roll as dessert and eat it last rather than alongside your sandwich, which naturally slows the overall pace of the meal and makes it easier to stop before you're overly full. The Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich is also a solid protein source — choosing Curly Fries over Potato Cakes is a modest calorie reduction if you're watching your intake, since the fries are typically lighter in total fat.

Arby’s $7.99 Meat & 3 Box just got a spicy upgrade.

The chain added its new Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich to the Meat & 3 Value Box on August 3, giving guests a third entrée option in the $7.99 complete meal — and one with significantly more personality than the existing Ham & Swiss or Crispy Chicken choices.

What’s in the Meat & 3 Box

For $7.99, the Meat & 3 Value Box now includes:

  • Choice of entrée: Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich, Crispy Chicken Sandwich, or Ham & Swiss Sandwich
  • Small Curly Fries, Crinkle Fries, or 2 Potato Cakes
  • 2-piece Mozzarella Sticks
  • Peach Cobbler Roll
  • Small fountain drink

That’s five items for $7.99 — a full meal with a side, a snack, a dessert, and a drink included.

The New Sandwich: Buffalo Ranch Chicken

The Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich features a crispy-fried chicken breast tossed in spicy Buffalo sauce and topped with cool, creamy ranch and shredded lettuce on a toasted buttery brioche bun. The Buffalo-and-ranch pairing is a natural one — the heat of the sauce balanced by the cooling creaminess of the ranch, all on a brioche bun that’s noticeably softer and more premium than a standard fast food bun.

One reviewer noted it “hits the sweet spot between spicy, creamy, and crunchy.” At $7.99 bundled into the full Meat & 3 Box, it’s a strong value play for anyone who typically skips Arby’s because they’re not a roast beef person.

One Thing Worth Noting

The Meat & 3 Box has drawn some attention for the fact that Arby’s most iconic products — roast beef and the Beef ‘N Cheddar — aren’t among the entrée options. It’s an interesting omission for a chain whose slogan is “We Have the Meats,” but for chicken fans, the new Buffalo Ranch addition makes the box a genuinely compelling lunch or dinner option at the current price.

How to Order

Available in-restaurant, at the drive-thru, online, and through the Arby’s app at participating locations nationwide. Prices may vary slightly by market.

The Bottom Line

Arby’s Meat & 3 Value Box — now with the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich as an entrée option — is available for $7.99 at participating locations. Five items, one price, and a new spicy-creamy sandwich worth trying.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Why You’re Supposed to Let Meat Rest (And What Happens If You Don’t)

Letting meat rest before slicing helps retain more of its natural juices, which also means retaining more of the B vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc that would otherwise be lost onto the cutting board — and resting meat away from direct heat also reduces the formation of certain compounds linked to prolonged high-heat exposure.
