# Summertime Snacking Sliders Arby's Sliders Have 10 to 12-Grams of Protein Each By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2026-06-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-sliders References: [qsrmagazine](https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/arbys-launches-lineup-of-1-99-sliders/)  The Arby's Sliders menu is a new series of sandwiches from the QSR brand that will tap into snacking preferences this summer as consumers seek out satisfying, low-cost food options. The menu is arriving now at the brand's participating locations for order both in-restaurant and online, and sees each sandwich priced at $1.99 to prioritize a cost-effective profile. The menu features four options to choose from including the Roast Beef Slider, Buffalo Chicken Slider, Ham Slider and the Chicken Slider. Each sandwich puts premium meat in the spotlight and features 10 to 12-grams of protein in each serving. The Arby's Sliders menu encourages customers to buy as many or as few as they like for a customized snack or meal this summer.
