hey Kevin, to answer your question about how Arby's makes burgers -- these come precooked and are deep fried! I think that might explain the strange texture. thanks for the review!
@@amf4032 "The patty is cooked "sous vide" offsite and apparently finished by deep-frying because the Arby's kitchen setup doesn't have a grill top (they're also microwaved briefly prior to serving to melt the cheese on top of the patty)"
Mine was totally raw . So was the wifes . First thing i did was scrape all the crap off it . And finish cooking it ! Ill take a whopper , big mac or double stack over this burger EVERY time !
Who knows if these will take off for Arby's Wagyu is a breed of cattle that originated in Japan. Known for its high level of marbling which gives the meat an unmistakable taste and buttery texture, Wagyu beef is a delicacy served at fancy restaurants. Cleveland's Marble Room, for example, serves a Wagyu strip that starts at $120 for a 4 oz. steak.
These taste good but Arby’s will never convince me it contains an ounce of Wagyu meat. I’ve had authentic Wagyu beef and 1, it’s expensive, number two it has a unique flavor. This burger has zero traces of Wagyu taste.
I have tried the burger from Arby's and I didn't like it! It looked and tasted like it was medium rare but if I want to go somewhere and get a burger I will go to either Wendy's or maybe Hardee's.
I thought the same thing. I found out they come in frozen and they deep fry them for a minute or so. I like the char broil taste from Carls Jr or Burger King more but like the size of this patty. It was fun to try once.
There are a few comments as to how they cook them so I don't need to rehash. Arby's doesn't have a grill which is why they have to deep-fry them. I go to Arby's quite a bit and know the manager and a couple of the girls working there and he gave me the Deluxe one free(I also had a $30 order I was picking up). It was fairly dead so he explained how they come in, how they are prepared, that it is medium-well so it will have some pink inside, so I was able to have him hold the red onion and skipping nuking it to melt the cheeses. The heat of the burger melted the cheese pretty well. Not impressed. Plus really bad after-taste and gave me a bad case of indigestion. The burger's are $5.99 and $7.19 here. Good review. Thank you Kevin.
Great review Kevin! I have a friend that works at Arby's and the burgers 25% wagyu and 75% regular beef. Also, they deep fry the burgers that's why the texture is different.
@@ryandiggs750 Yes. Reportedly they cook them via sous vide (bagged in plastic, then cooked in temperature-controlled water), freeze them, and ship them to the restaurants. When they're prepared, they deep fry them. (Arby's restaurants don't have grills.)
"Arby’s supplier delivers the beef blend formed into 6.4-ounce patties and already prepared sous vide-style. At each location, the patties are then reheated in the fryer for less than 2 minutes.“
@1:00 The employee messed up they are supposed to inform you that they come pink in the middle and offer the option to have it well done I work at Arbys have since November I do everything there any questions anyone ever has about their food feel free to ask
They had a notice on the drive thru menu board stating all Wagyu burgers come served Med Well, no chance for customer to decide, the whole experience was just a bit off for us
@@issaccmilligan4334 no need to apologize, really, I manage a pizza place up the block so I understand the restaurant end of it, tbh it wasn't bad for what it was, the burger just needed something to make it pop, I had my hopes way up high on this sandwich, still willing to give Arby's another chance yet, already loved Arby's prior
Ya shoulda grabbed up that market fresh strawberry lemonade, so good👍, after watching your vid I realized I got charged for the Bacon ranch burger, dang Arby's done got me this time, Have you watched the endorsements breakdown vid of these sandwiches yet? Liked the vid, We reviewed it earlier today This sandwich was screaming flavors, except for the star of the show which was definitely lacking, quite alot, disappointed
The bun and toppings were good the beef should have been good but the burger itself tasted like a leftover. Kind of dry. Like it was cooked then microwaved.
The burgers look good, a substantial burger. You’re right wagyu is really expensive and got a very high ratio of fat to meat marbled throughout. There must be some loophole where they can reference the name with only a small quantity of the meat actually used. Thanks for the review Kevin.
Wagyu is supposed to be the OPPOSITE of lean… fatty, melt in your mouth etc… definitely should not remotely be tough… should be way more tender than most burgers… so those seem highly disappointing… good review 👍🏽
I had the classic wagu too, it was ok. It tasted good but I agree with u it wasn't that great. It wasn't juicy. It was average. Something different but at $6.50 here in Pennsylvania I won't be getting it often. Maybe once in a while type burger.
Just a comment on Arby's. Their roast beef sandwiches are nothing like the late, great Roy Rodgers roast beef sandwiches which were carved from an actual side of beef. Arby's roast beef isn't actual carved beef. You can tell the difference. I stick with their deli turkey sandwiches. They are decent and if you notice on the flyers they distribute with discount coupons they no longer have a turkey combo or a discounted individual sandwich. Of the large chains there are only few places to get decent burgers. #1 is in In-N-Out in the West Coast. #2 is Five Guys who have outlets mostly in the East and #3 is Wendy's. For nationwide chain Wendy's doesn't freeze their burgers. They operate similar to In-N-Out and Five Guys but not the same quality. Both In and Five Guys also used cut potatoes that aren't frozen. Then we have the cult of Shake Shack. An extremely small burger and the fries are frozen. Meanwhile tourists come to NYC and line up for their burgers. It's strictly FOMO. I have a Shake Shack a block from home in NJ. I don't go there. I have eaten at Shake Shack's three times I don't see what the fuss is about. Meanwhile their burgers are smaller than a basic burger at McDonald's
I thought u started coughing because you didn't like something that you tasted😫🙏glad u were ok though😊it's amazing how different people have different views. I saw one that preferred the other over the ranch one❤tfs. God bless in Jesus name
My last trips to Arby's were lackluster. Seems like they are getting to experimental with items like burgers and fish. Perhaps they should stay in their lane and do what the restaurant is known for.
Sounds like they’re no better than what Hardee’s has to offer these days and they’re just horrendous anymore. Like eating a frozen burger you’d get from the store with fresh veggies.
@@punky19761 they used to be really good 7 years ago. I really enjoyed their Tex Mex thick burger and their grilled cheese thick burger was my all time favorite but they hardly ever kept it on the menu. But now I don’t know what the hell happened to em but their food is just terrible. My dad says their breakfast lineup is decent tho.
I just ate one today. Very good...the burgers are sent almost fully cooked in a special bag to keep them moist. They are then deep fried for a few minutes to heat the up. It gives them a little crispy outside and warm and moist on the inside. NOT healthy!!....but tasty. You said it was a bit over done.....but your picture shows it's a bit pink on the inside .. I disagree with your opinion. I ate the burger today and it was delicious. A little crispy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. I liked the texture mix..... I got the deluxe....lots of " hamburger sauce" ...juicy, fresh toppings.... Worth every penny....imo.
The 80-20 Black Angus burger meat slightly undercooked, for me makes the best hamburgers. You know what they say, "fat is where the flavor it" TheRaper!
I THOUGHT I WANTED TO TRY IT. BUT IT'S A HARD NO FOR ME. DOESN'T LOOK APPEALING AT ALL 👎👎. THE 🍔 BURGER TO ME WAS THE WORST LOOKING TOO. SO DRY HARD & DENSE. LOOKED SUPER BURNT ; BUT LOOKING INSIDE OF IT I SAW SOME PINK LIKE IT WAS COOKED ON TO HIGH TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE GOT WAY TO DONE & INSIDE DIDN'T. YEAH. ARBY'S STICK WITH WHAT YOU KNOW ROAST BEEF. LEAN MEATS. FISH. SALADS. LEAVE THE BURGERS TO THE BURGER CHAINS. GREAT REVIEW KEVIN THANKS.👍
There's Japanese wagyu and American wagyu. Japanese is super fatty and super expensive. American is much less fatty and much less expensive. The fact that these burgers are dry and under $10 guarantees there's no Japanese wagyu in there at all and probably only a small amount of American wagyu. In other words: marketing gimmick.
Most people are giving the Deluxe burger 8-9 and the Bacon Ranch much better. How can anyone compare this burger to Five Guys?? Just on price alone, we are taking about a 50-60% increase in price which means Arby's is King of the burger until some other fast food chain dethrones them -- McDs, Burger King and Wendys. Five Guys Prices ---------------------------- Hamburger $9.35 Little Hamburger $6.85 Cheeseburger $10.15 Little Cheeseburger $7.70 Bacon Burger $10.55 Little Bacon Burger $8.15 Bacon Cheeseburger $11.40 Little Bacon Cheeseburger $9.00
I'm surprised Five Guys is still around in my State. They were popular for a few year's then they couldn't compete with Fast food bargain's. They replaced Bojangle's in my State. Which was a local favorite.

after deep fry they add cheese and microwave to melt as well
@@amf4032 it comes precooked that way and frozen. then the store just chucks them in the fryer to heat up and get a crust.
@@amf4032 Arby's itself actually doesn't say only sous vide to be fair. Neither of us can prove it so please have a nice night.

It won't take off, I tried it . Wasn't juicy it was ok average. Try for yourself if u haven't done so already. I wasn't impressed.
It seems wasteful to mix ground waygu with reg ground meat.

Yes I had the deluxe it tasted just like a Big Mac. Not complaining I love Big Mac. I would rather they bring back the loaded Italian sub sandwich
Arby's should bring back the Meatball sub sandwich 🤗🥰🌈 that was so good and tasted better👍
Nice to know they are fried and reheated. To date, my favorite burger is Whataburger Jr and I sit in the parking lot to enjoy it while it is fresh.
Awesome! I was so excited to see this in review in my daily feed! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Kevin,

The burger is placed in a sealed bag and placed in a water bath and heated to a precise temperature
Wow I thought they were gonna be delicious I’m not wasting my money or time thanks Kevin!
I thought it was pretty good and on par with many top established fast food burgers, if not better in a few ways. Worth a try.
I'm glad your trying both of them in one video. G.O.A.T. 🙌🙌
Pre cook using sous vide method (cooked in a bag in hot water), then sent to arbys like that, then arbys deep fries them before serving
Great review Kevin! I have a friend that works at Arby's and the burgers 25% wagyu and 75% regular beef. Also, they deep fry the burgers that's why the texture is different.
Did they not say 52% American wagyu, that is the official claim?
Deep fry burgers?

Yeah I remember Arby's didn't have a grill but I would thought they would have a special different way of cooking them lol

I wonder if these are really Wagyu or just called that . . .
Red lobster has a good Wagyu burger😋
I've heard the patties arrive pre grilled and they deep fry them in store.

supposedly 52% wagyu
@@MonksB89 seems unlikely the way Kevin kept referring to them using lean meat with not enough fat 😲
wagyu is always the best
They look good try the pecan chicken salad from arby is good too

nice yummy burgers certainly deserve a 5 out of 5 🍔
I was thinking the same thing! What a jerk! Who goes the wrong way in a damn parking lot! You should have called the police!
I’m glad you told me what these burgers are like. I don’t like a dry, dense burger. I also don’t think that is what waygu is supposed to be.
It is premium beef with good marbling and known for flavor and texture. It is expensive so I question mixing it with regular ground beef.
That looks Raw
Thanks Kevin! After this review I’m not getting one.
if it were true waygu, these would be $300, this is a mixture of american beef mixed with american raised waygu
Are you going to try the Diablo Dare sandwich?

fish literally sells well at arbys
I tried the Deluxe and I was not impressed. I'll stick with 5Guys, Sonic, Wendy's and places like that.
I had one earlier this week. It was awful. Dry, tasteless and the outer texture is very off putting. Save your time and money and go somewhere else.
U.S. so called Wagyu Not japanese wagyu a5 they are pre cooked then put in the deep fryer
Hard to tell but that looks raw in the center.
Don't want it red in the middle..Not real lean either..Ty.
