There is an Arby's right next to the Culver's on S. Neil, and there's never anybody there. I seriously think the Culver's does 100 times the business.

I've never seen an Arby's that was busy. I think they're actually some kind of weird money laundering operation.

Ours is crazy busy Fridays during lent.

Best cheap fast food fish sandwich* in an area full of Catholics.

Their other sandwiches are usually good as well. I just never stop there.

*Yes, Culvers is better but not 2 for $6.

In SoCal, Arby's menu changes compete directly with local chain The Hat. Arby's is not winning.

The original The Hat location is in Alhambra, and that Arby's went belly up. They're often near each other because that's just how zoning works.

If I'm getting a high priced stack of meat on bread, I'm not getting it from Arby's. I'll use their direct mail coupon to buy a 2 for $7 about every other year.

Every time I've been to Arby's I've been surprised how good it is

Eat'n'Park was constantly full. Hotel had cars and guests and activity. Arby's generally completely empty. Last time I was in the city, we drove by and it was finally closed.

But TBH, Arby's food is good. Their fries are good. I don't understand why nobody frequents some of them.
