Review: Arby's - House Made Chips

Arby's House Made Chips are available for a limited time and features thick-cut, kettle-fried potato chips, sprinkled with Arby's Sauce seasoning, made daily in each Arby's restaurant.

My local Arby's offers them at $1.79 for an order.

The chips come in a good-sized waxed bag that amounts to the same as a small bag of packaged chips that you might find at a convenience store.

The potato chips deliver on a substantial crunch buoyed by the thickness of each chip. Additionally, for potato chips, they're not too greasy and have a really nice hit of potato flavor.

The seasoning is mostly tangy, but reminds me of more of a vinegar tang rather than a barbecue tang, which makes me think Vinegar and Salt Chips. There's just a hint of sweetness, but lacks the smokiness of barbecue sauce. Basically it's like Arby's Sauce without the finer nuances. I liked that these weren't too heavily salted, but I'm not a fan of vinegary chips. Still, the crunchy potato-iness of these chips made them pretty easy to eat.

Overall, Arby's House Made Chips make for some really nice kettle chips, but the seasoning was a bit of a curious choice. I would have preferred them plain and I think that would have been the safe bet, but I can see the draw in a more signature flavor.
