"For starters, Arby's hickory-smoked BBQ has more to offer than one-note ketchup, and it's more versatile than the (albeit inventive) Bronco Berry sauce. Other back-of-the-pack contenders like the cheddar cheese sauce turned us off with a highly processed profile. With Arby's hickory-smoked BBQ, as our taste-tester noted, "The sauce was aromatic, savory, smoky, and perfectly sweet [...] I appreciated the distinct notes of ground black pepper; it tasted like the peppercorns were freshly ground," boasting "great hickory flavor, thick consistency, and endless versatility.""
"Nothing satisfies like an impressive underdog. When foodies hit the Arby's drive-thru, they may have their minds set on the chain's classics, like horsey sauce or au jus. Indeed, there's something to be said for sticking to the classics - some discontinued Arby's menu items we'll probably never eat again (the controversial Big Game burger can stay in the past). But when it comes to sauces, we implore foodies to branch out to barbecue."
Arby's hickory-smoked BBQ Sauce outshines eleven other menu sauces, including the chain's signature sweet-tangy Arby's sauce. The sauce delivers aromatic, savory, smoky, and perfectly sweet flavors with distinct freshly ground black pepper notes, great hickory flavor, thick consistency, and versatile use. Ingredients include high fructose corn syrup, tomato paste, spices, celery seeds, natural hickory smoke flavor, onion, and garlic. Other sauces were criticized for one-note sweetness or overly processed profiles, such as ketchup and cheddar cheese sauce, while Bronco Berry is noted as inventive but less versatile. The BBQ's balanced flavor profile complements roast beef and various menu items.
