Arbys has been known to retire quite a few of its popular menu items in its 60-year tenure, much to its fans dismay. Among the fast food items we sadly lost in 2021 were the chains beloved loaded Italian sandwich — a monstrosity of deli meats and fixings — as well as its pizza slider and ham slider. And in a particularly dreaded moment last fall, the company announced the discontinuation of Arbys potato cakes, a breakfast favorite, in favor of its new crinkle fries. Some customers were so passionate about the fried spuds, in fact, that nearly 4,000 of them signed a Change.org petition to bring them back.
While Arbys has vaguely hinted that potato cakes could one day make a return to the menu, for now, the meat-centric chain has more concrete news for customers who miss its discontinued menu items: For a limited time, Arbys is resurrecting one of its savory favorites, along with some other updates, per Chew Boom.

Arbys is now serving a different version of its 2 for $6 menu, which also includes its Classic Roast Beef sandwich and white cheddar mac and cheese. The chicken cheddar ranch sandwich, according to its website, remains the same, with crispy chicken tenders, sharp cheddar, parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce, and lettuce and tomato on a sesame seed bun. As for how customers feel about the sandwich, theres some positive feedback from 2020: On YouTube, food reviewers 2¢ Chick and Peep THIS Out! gave the menu item props for a crispy coating on the chicken and flavorful ranch sauce, though they said that the taste of the cheddar didnt fully come through.
The chicken cheddar ranch sandwich is making a temporary reappearance on the Arbys menu, according to Chew Boom. The dish was first introduced at the chain back in 2020, and it made a short-lived reappearance in September of 2021, per Brand Eating. During these times, it was a part of the chains 2 for $6 deal, in which customers could opt for the sandwich, along with a serving of their side dish of choice, for $6. As of this month, the sandwich is on the 2 for $6 menu once again — with a few 2022 updates.
Arbys has recently discontinued the Loaded Italian sub along with several other items including: Loaded Curly fries, Pizza/Ham Sliders, Potato Cakes, as much as Id like these items make a come back, my main focus is the Loaded Italian Sub. The Italian Sub is the one item on the menu I, along with many others, absolutely craved.
It was one of the best Italian subs that you could get, especially from a fast food joint all things considered. The thing that bothers me is that these companies usually silently remove items from their menu without giving everyone a heads up beforehand, which ends up with people attempting to order a discontinued item, only to be told something like: “Sorry we dont have that anymore.” This is exactly what Taco Bell does with their delicious Nacho Fries and its very frustrating. The only difference is that Taco Bell knows people love the Nacho fries, and they keep removing and re-adding it to their menu for publicity, which upsets me even more knowing that were basically being played like puppets, longing for the days that they do return for a very limited window of time.
