I ordered the same meal at Arby’s and Applebee’s. One chain’s delicious chicken sandwich blew me away.

• I ordered the same meal at Applebee’s and Arby’s to see which chain had the tastiest food.
• At both restaurants, I ordered French dip and chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, and fries.
• Overall, I preferred the flavor of the food at Applebee’s.

I love finding a great meal at a good value, so when a new Arby’s opened near my house in Las Vegas, I figured I’d stop by. I hadn’t been to an Arby’s in years and wanted to see if the restaurant had changed at all.

I decided to compare the meal with a tried-and-true favorite: Applebees. At both stops, I ordered French dip and chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, and fries, and compared them based on flavor and value.

Here’s how my meals at each chain stacked up.
