Arby’s has recently just announced that they are bringing back the popular Brown Sugar Bacon Sandwiches for everyone to try. And if I recall correctly, when they first debuted awhile back, many customers actually raved about just how good they really were.
Unfortunately, I was never able to try it when they first released, but seeing as how they brought it back, you can best believe I am going to try it!
After all, who doesn’t love Brown Sugar Bacon?
And seeing as how they got a few different varieties, we’ll just have to take our pick and find one that looks the best to try.
So with that being said, lets get started!
What Is Arby’s King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Sandwich
For those unfamiliar, Arby’s actually has just brought back their popular Brown Sugar Bacon Sandwiches for customers to try. And currently, there are three different varieties being either BLT, Turkey or Roast Beef.
Additionally, what makes this sandwich stand out is that it actually has a King’s Hawaiian bun holding it all together. How great is that? In my opinion, the King’s Hawaiian Bun is probably one of the best kinds of breads that you can ever have.
Which is why seeing it being used on this Brown Sugar Bacon Sandwich definitely got me excited.
Now because there are three different varieties, we will list out all the ingredients for all three sandwiches:
- King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Turkey Sandwich: Features sliced roast turkey with melted Swiss cheese, brown sugar bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mild & creamy Dijon spread on a sweet & fluffy King’s Hawaiian bun.
- King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon BLT Sandwich: Features savory bacon and brown sugar bacon layered with lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a sweet & fluffy King’s Hawaiian roll.
- King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef Sandwich: Features thinly sliced roast beef with melted Swiss cheese, brown sugar bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mild & creamy Dijon spread on a sweet & fluffy King’s Hawaiian bun.
As you can see, the three sandwiches are pretty much the same but with a few minor differences.
Either way, I’m excited so lets go try it out!
Buying Arby’s King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef Sandwich
Upon hearing the news of the Brown Sugar Bacon Sandwiches return, I immediately got into my car and drove to the nearest Arby’s that I could find.
Unfortunately for me, the nearest Arby’s location is pretty far and I had to drive around 40 minutes in order to reach it. But once I got there, I noticed that the drive-thru lane actually had nobody in there waiting, so that was the place I decided I should order from.
I got into the drive-thru lane and drove to the speaker.
Immediately I saw on the menu screen in front of me showcasing a big picture of all three varieties of the Brown Sugar Bacon Sandwiches. And not going to lie, they all look really good. But I can’t eat all three of them, so I had to settle for one.
And that one is the King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef Sandwich!
I placed my order for one sandwich and drove to the front window to pay. Price point wise, the King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef Sandwich came out to be around $7.89 dollars before tax. Which is average price nowadays if you were to ask me.
After paying, I had to wait around 5 minutes which wasn’t really that long before they handed me my bag. And it was actually a pretty heavy bag, which made me even more excited as this item must be pretty big or hefty.
Anyways, lets get into the review!
What Does Arby’s King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef Sandwich Look Like
Upon finding a spot to park my car, I then took the item out of the bag.
I noticed that the sandwich came in Arby’s typical cardboard box which was pretty cool. Nothing really special about the box’s design however as its the same that they have been using for quite a while. But once I opened it up, I saw the beautifulness of the sandwich.
The King’s Hawaiian Bun shined brightly in front of me with so many ingredients being in between it.
It was visually very appealing and vibrant in color, and you could also smell a hint of sweetness flowing in the air.
Opening the top bun of the sandwich, you could see that Arby’s actually layered a whole bunch of that delicious Brown Sugar Bacon onto this sandwich. When they say they have the meats, they really do mean it!
The Bacon pieces look absolutely delicious and it even feels crispy to the touch. Plus, you also have the cheese that’s been perfectly melted all around and the generous spread of that Dijon Mustard.
But what’s most appealing is definitely that roast beef! They literally piled the roast beef so generously in this sandwich that it honestly made me wonder how they are even making money. Like, this thing looked like a mini mountain filled with so much of that delicious roast beef.
I had to say, Arby’s did a great job in constructing this item as it looks beautiful, almost like the one in the picture that was showing on the menu. Either way, I couldn’t wait any longer, so lets go dig in and try the King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef Sandwich.
What Does Arby’s King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef Sandwich Taste Like
Grabbing the sandwich, I noticed that it actually had some weight to it. This wasn’t a light sandwich by any means, and it definitely shows.
I then immediately took a big bite, and I could already start to taste all the different flavors and textures that was going on in this sandwich.
The first thing I noticed was the sweetness from the King’s Hawaiian Bun. It was a light and delicate sweetness while also being pillowy soft. Then when you bit down even further, you’ll notice all the other ingredients start to come in.
Brown Sugar Bacon was extremely crisp all around and you could definitely taste the sweetness from the brown sugar as well. It had a very deep flavor that was sort of like caramel but more enhanced because you could also taste the porky sensations as well.
Not to mention that the Roast Beef was also extremely tender and soft, to the point where it literally feels like it was almost melting in your mouth. And because there was so much roast beef being piled in this sandwich, it gave each and every bite a nice strong hearty feel.
However, what I noticed the most that stood out was definitely the Dijon Mustard.
I don’t know if Arby’s makes their own mustard or they buy it from somebody else, but that flavor was strong. Like you could definitely feel a sharp kick in your mouth coming from that Dijon Mustard. It’s very creamy and sharp and works well with the Brown Sugar Bacon and Roast Beef.
Although I do think they kind of put too much Dijon Mustard in my sandwich. Mostly because, even though the sandwich was good, it kind of felt overpowered by the Dijon. In what was suppose to be the Brown Sugar standing out, it felt like it actually took a backseat to the mustard.
Either way, it was still a good sandwich and you do taste various flavors and textures going on. I just wish the Dijon was held back by just a bit, then it would have been perfect.
How Can Arby’s King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef Sandwich Be Improved
Like I mentioned earlier, Arby’s King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef Sandwich is a really good item to try. But when I tried it, it felt like the Dijon Mustard took away all the glory from all the rest of the ingredients. That mustard was really strong and sharp that it became the top flavor you noticed when eating this sandwich.
Every other item was really good, but literally took a back seat when you had that Dijon Mustard on the sandwich.
I think if Arby’s wants to improve this sandwich, they should probably put less amount of Dijon Mustard onto this sandwich. Or maybe even switch it out completely with something else like a lighter flavor sauce.
Once they do that, this sandwich would definitely be a banger!
Overall Thoughts
With that being said, Arby’s Brown Sugar Bacon Sandwiches, especially the King’s Hawaiian Brown Sugar Bacon Roast Beef Sandwich is a pretty good item to try. Having a visually appealing presence with tremendous flavor and textures, this is one item I think many customers would love to have.
Although, depending on your Arby’s and how they make this sandwich, you might want to tell them to be careful of that Dijon Mustard and probably give you a lesser amount. Because if they put too much, it can be a bit overpowering.
But either way, it’s still a great sandwich that I think many of you would love.
Overall Rating: 8.4
