Frequently Asked Questions About Arby's Sauce

What is Arby's Sauce?

Arby's Sauce is a sweet-and-tangy condiment served with Arby's sandwiches. Its tomato-like, spiced flavor complements savory meats, and it is different from the chain's creamy Horsey Sauce.

What does Arby's Sauce taste like?

Arby's Sauce tastes sweet, tangy, and mildly spiced, with a noticeable vinegar-like sharpness. It is not generally considered a hot sauce, so it adds flavor without the burn of chili-heavy condiments.

Is Arby's Sauce the same as barbecue sauce?

No, Arby's Sauce is not simply barbecue sauce. Both can be sweet and tangy, but Arby's Sauce has its own spiced profile and is served as a distinct sandwich condiment; barbecue sauces vary widely and may taste smokier.

What is in Arby's Sauce?

The exact formula for Arby's Sauce is proprietary. It has a sweet-and-tangy, spiced profile, but the precise ingredients can vary by product version, so the package ingredient list is the reliable source for a particular bottle.

How do you make copycat Arby's Sauce at home?

You can make a copycat-style Arby's Sauce, but not verify the restaurant's exact recipe. Start with tomato ketchup, add vinegar and spices, then adjust the sweetness and tang gradually until it suits your taste.

What is the difference between Arby's Sauce and Horsey Sauce?

Arby's Sauce is sweet, tangy, and spiced, while Horsey Sauce is creamy and has a sharp horseradish flavor. They are separate condiments, so choosing between them depends on whether you want tangy sweetness or a horseradish bite.

What can you eat with Arby's Sauce?

Arby's Sauce pairs especially well with roast beef sandwiches and burgers. You can also serve it with fries, use it on chicken sandwiches, or add a little to a wrap when you want a sweet-tangy condiment.

Does Arby's Sauce need to be refrigerated after opening?

Yes, refrigerate Arby's Sauce after opening and keep the container tightly closed. Follow the storage directions on the package, and discard it if its smell, color, or texture changes noticeably.

Can you freeze Arby's Sauce?

Freezing Arby's Sauce is not recommended because thawing may change its texture or cause it to separate. Store the opened sauce in the refrigerator instead, and use it according to the package directions.

What is a good substitute for Arby's Sauce?

A tangy, mildly spiced barbecue sauce is a practical substitute for Arby's Sauce. For a closer sweet-and-sour flavor, stir a little vinegar into tomato ketchup and taste before adding it to your sandwich.

What is Arby's Sauce?

Arby's Sauce is a sweet-tangy sauce served by the US fast-food chain Arby’s, best known as an accompaniment to its roast beef sandwiches. Its tomato-forward flavour also works in homemade burgers and other sandwiches when you want a familiar fast-food-style finish.

The sauce is smooth and easy to spread, with enough sweetness and gentle spice to complement savoury fillings. It can also be served on the side for dipping fries. It is mostly carbohydrate, with 40 g per 100 g, so a small spoonful is usually enough to add flavour; pair it with a sandwich loaded with fresh vegetables for a lighter-feeling meal.
