Burger Spotlight: Big Cheesy Bacon Burger From Arby’s
Arby’s might be known for roast beef, but their Big Cheesy Bacon Burger shows they’re serious about getting into the burger game. This thing is basically everything you’d want on a burger, piled high and done right. The only negative I have is that the sauce could use more flavor.
What’s On It
The Big Cheesy Bacon Burger comes loaded with:
- Thick, juicy all-beef patty – The foundation that holds everything together
- Crispy bacon – Multiple strips for that smoky crunch
- American cheese – Classic melty goodness
- Swiss cheese – Adding a nutty, creamy layer on top of the American
- Fresh lettuce – Crisp iceberg for texture
- Thick tomato slices – Actually fresh, not the usual fast food cardboard
- Red onions – Sharp bite that cuts through all the richness
- Pickles – Tangy crunch to balance everything out
- Special burger sauce – Their house sauce that ties it all together
- Toasted brioche bun – Sturdy enough to handle the load
The Double Cheese Situation
The combo of American and Swiss cheese is what sets this apart from your standard fast food burger. The American melts down into that classic gooey layer, while the Swiss adds a more sophisticated flavor that actually works with the bacon and sauce.
The Build
Everything sits on a toasted brioche bun that’s got enough structure to keep this monster from falling apart in your hands. The patty is thick enough to be the star, but not so huge that you can’t taste the other stuff.
Size and Stats
This is a substantial burger at 706 calories with 41 grams of fat and 48 grams of protein. It’s definitely a full meal, not a snack. The brioche bun adds some heft too, making this thing feel more premium than your typical fast food option.
