Arby's Cherry BBQ Brisket Sandwich is a limited time offering making its way to menus at participating locations in Canada to provide consumers with a deliciously sweet barbecue option to try out.
The sandwich starts off with the brand's thinly sliced beef brisket that's topped with a new cherry BBQ sauce before being finished with a slice of Swiss cheese, crispy onions, red onions, tomato and lettuce. The sandwich comes served on a toasted brioche bun for a touch of soft, pillowy texture.
Arby's Cherry BBQ Brisket Sandwich hopes to shake things up in the QSR industry by shifting away from traditional barbecue flavorings like maple to put a distinctly summery twist on a classic. The sandwich is making its debut alongside a series of additional limited time menu items for customers to try out.
