Arby's, February 16, 2008

Today was our turn to go to Arby's.

It has been at least 10 years since I was last here, and I don't remember the food that well.

At that time I just ordered via the drive-thru, but this visit we were planning to sit inside.

There was plenty of snow on the ground this fine February 16th, and the sun was bright. It was still plenty cold being around -11°C but we were a happy crew that day. The only remaining question was if the girls would return to shooting photos in the w/r after their last experience at the Apollo.

We took our time deciding what to have since two of us had not been there before, and I had not been around for a long time.

The menu looked enticing and reminded us of McDonalds but with a little more variety.

The standard "Now hiring full and part time" sign was posted as we have come to expect them everywhere now.

While waiting to order, Helene asked the waitress if she liked her job. The answer was "yes - definitely - I have been here 2 years now". She emphasized that the owners were "good" people to work for. It turns out that she was working part-time as she was in University striving for a Metallurgy degree.

With so much to choose from we had some trouble deciding what we wanted. When we gave our order we were asked if we wanted regular or curly fries. Of course, we wanted to try the curly fries.

Finally we ordered and sat at our table. The girls particularly liked the curly fries and had fun comparing curls and lengths.

The washrooms were not quite as clean as we had expected and of course the girls were still sore afraid of taking any photos there. I tried to convince them that they could, but they were still hurting from the Apollo. Funny how a little thing like that can affect a person.

The food was good and the portions ample. I could not even finish my large beef sandwich. A decent meal at a decent price. $31.37 for the four of us.
