Arby's Serving Up Deer Meat in Select Locations

Starting in November, Arby's will be serving up venison (deer meat) in a select number of restaurants located in popular hunting markets.

Arby's Venison Sandwich features a thick-cut venison steak, crispy onions, and juniper berry sauce on a toasted specialty roll. The steak is marinated in garlic, salt, and pepper and then cooked for three hours for tenderness. The juniper berry sauce is a Cabernet steak sauce infused with juniper berries.

Venison is similar to beef but tends to be leaner with a finer texture and can sometimes be a bit gamey. It's not commonly found at restaurants in general.

The sandwich will only be offered at 17 Arby’s restaurants across America. Each is located within heavy deer hunting areas in either Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, or Georgia.
