Review: Arby's - Angus Cool Deli Sandwich

Arby's Angus Cool Deli Sandwich which is basically your classic cold deli sub and is filled with thin-sliced Angus beef, shredded lettuce, tomato, red onion, Swiss cheese, mayo, vinaigrette, banana peppers, and pickles on a toasted sub bun.

I picked up my Angus Cool Deli Sandwich for $4.99 (courtesy of an Arby's-provided gift card) but it can also be had as a whole grain wrap.

My Angus beef seemed a tender medium rare, I actually thought it might have been raw for a moment. It was more subtly seasoned than Arby's trademark roast beef and is sliced a little thicker. Both pluses in my book. There was a generous amount of Angus beef for beefy goodness in every bite. The veggies were fresh and crisp and my local Arby's always toasts the bun real well. The bun has a little more character and texture than the standard fast food fare. The vinaigrette was a nice touch.

What I didn't like was how my sandwich was inexplicably missing its tomatoes; I would have really liked them. The banana peppers (and banana peppers in general) were indistinguishable from the pickles; both were sour and added some crunch to the sandwich. I also didn't care for the Swiss cheese which felt and tasted a bit fake to me.

Still, I enjoyed Arby's Angus Cool Deli Sandwich for its flavorful Angus and balanced blend of cool sandwich ingredients. It's a step up from say, Subway, although it's definitely smaller than a $5 Footlong.
