But that was the case with the new Arby\u2019s BBQ Bacon Burger stacked with an all-beef patty, bacon, crispy onion strings, American cheese, pickles, and smoky BBQ sauce on a toasted brioche bun. <\/p>\n<p>It joins the Deluxe and Big Cheesy Bacon Burgers on the Arby\u2019s menu. Burgers are selling well enough that the meat chain made them permanent additions to the menu earlier this year, and I imagine we\u2019ll be seeing more variations in the future. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never had an Arby\u2019s burger before, not even the limited time Wagyu Steakhouse one, so everything was new to me, but this new one looked delicious. What caught my eye after seeing its height and how good it looked was the beef patty\u2019s thickness, which was the primary reason I had to stretch my mandible muscles. It was a patty I\u2019d expect from places like Ruby Tuesday, Chili\u2019s, Applebee\u2019s, TGI Fridays, or other casual dining chains that end with an apostrophe S or have a day in their name. <\/p>\n<p>While it had a nice thickness, it was a bit dry. However, it had a decent meaty flavor and a nice char. But that was when I ate the beef by itself. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/arbysbbqbaburger2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-65085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/arbysbbqbaburger2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/arbysbbqbaburger2.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/arbysbbqbaburger2.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/arbysbbqbaburger2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My burger was thick but also messy, thanks to the generous heaping of smoky and sweet barbecue sauce that was so plentiful that I needed five napkins to clean my mouth and hands after eating most of it. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s the usual amount or if the person who made mine wanted to be the Oprah of sauce philanthropy.<\/p>\n<p>There was enough of it that it drowned out the flavors of most of the ingredients. Other than the pickles, everything else pretty much tasted like barbecue sauce. No smokiness from the bacon. No pungent flavors from the crispy onion strings. No cheesiness from the American cheese. And no meatiness from the beef patty. I thought I lost my sense of taste, but after letting my wife take a few bites and asking her what she thought without mentioning my issues with it, she said it mostly tasted like barbecue sauce.<\/p>\n<p>While it looks delicious, Arby\u2019s BBQ Bacon Burger wasn\u2019t as tasty as it looked. I\u2019m not sure it was worth straining my mouth to make it fit in there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $10.49*<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 711 calories, 41 grams of fat, 17 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 87 grams of carbohydrates, 1821 milligrams of sodium, 50 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 14 grams of sugar, and 37 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a while since I last had to come close to unhinging my jaw to fit food into my mouth.
