The 21 Best and Worst Arby’s sauces for 2024

Arby’s has over 30 sauces if you include dipping sauces, dressings and sandwich sauces. Are they good, bad, and what do they go with? In this mega guide we have listed all the best Arby’s sauces, their ingredients, and what they go best with.

If you don’t know Arby’s, they are a fast food sandwich chain founded in 1964 by Forrest and Leroy Raffel in Boardman, Ohio. They are one of the largest fast food sandwich chains in the US, competing with brands like Subway.

They are really well known for their meaty sandwiches and I find their meats a far higher quality than other chains, I particularly love the Brisket and particularly the Bourbon BBQ Brisket Sandwich. Read on to find out my favorite Arby’s sauce pick for this one including taste and full ingredients.

The Ultimate List of Arby’s Sauces

In this guide I have listed 21 of Arby’s best sauces, some are dipping sauces, some sandwich sauces but all go great with different items on the menu. Lets break it down. 

1. Arby’s Sauce

Arby’s Sauce (their name sake) is a staple condiment at Arby’s restaurants created in the 1970s. It is a tangy and slightly sweet sauce that pairs perfectly with their roast beef sandwiches. It’s a cross of ketchup and BBQ sauce, so is made with a blend of tomatoes, vinegar, and spices. 

2. Bronco Berry Sauce®

Arby’s Bronco Berry Sauce® is a unique and popular sauce at Arby’s. It is a sweet and spicy sauce with a distinctive flavor that adds a delicious kick to Arby’s sandwiches. Made with a blend of red jalapeno peppers, sugar, and spices, Bronco Berry Sauce® is a favorite among fans of sweet and spicy flavors.

3. Buffalo Dipping Sauce

I am fan of all things spicy. Spicy Buffalo wings, with crispy skin being the ultimate. Arby’s Buffalo hits the spot and is standard in their Buffalo Chicken sandwich, tenders but I also love it on the curly fries.

4. Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

This dressing pairs best with dishes needing a creamy dressing, such as Salads, Buffalo Chicken sliders or Chicken tenders. 

Arby’s Buttermilk Ranch Dressing is loved for its rich and creamy texture, which adds a delightful smoothness to any dish. Whether you’re drizzling it over a crisp salad or slathering it onto a juicy sandwich, this dressing enhances the flavors with its tangy and savory taste. 

5. Cheddar Cheese Sauce

This Arby’s sauce is my go to for curly fries, cheese sauce, ketchup on fries, an absolute family favorite:

6. Dijon Honey Mustard Dressing:

Dijon Honey Mustard Dressing adds a sweet and tangy note to salads and sandwiches. Arby’s offers their own version of this popular dressing, made with Dijon mustard, honey, vinegar, and a blend of spices. The combination of tangy mustard and sweet honey creates a delicious balance of flavors in this sauce.

7. Gyro Sauce Also Known as Tzatziki Sauce

Arby’s Gyro Sauce is a unique and savory sauce that enhances the flavors of Arby’s gyro sandwiches. It’s traditionally a greek sauce, with is super refreshing with salad and on meat. 

8. Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce is an absolute classic sauce that pairs well with Arby’s chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, and even curly fries. 

9. Horsey Sauce®

Horsey Sauce® is a unique and bold sauce that is a perfect accompaniment to Arby’s roast beef sandwiches. Made with horseradish, vinegar, and spices, Arby’s Horsey Sauce® adds a kick of heat and flavor to every bite. Whether you’re a fan of the spicy kick or looking to elevate the flavors of your roast beef sandwich, Horsey Sauce® is a go-to choice at Arby’s.

10. Kentucky BBQ Bourbon Sauce

Kentucky BBQ Bourbon Sauce is a rich and tangy barbecue sauce that adds a burst of flavor to Arby’s sandwiches and snacks. Made with a blend of hickory smoked flavor, molasses, and spices, Arby’s Kentucky BBQ Bourbon Sauce offers a sweet and smoky taste that is sure to satisfy barbecue lovers. This is the obvious and my pick for the Kentucky BBQ Brisket sandwich!

11. Ketchup

I don’t think Ketchup need introducing! It’s tomato based and in all fast food chains. Arby’s uses the ketchup as part of their Arby’s sauce, along with BBQ.

12. Arby’s Light Italian Dressing

For those looking for a lighter option, Arby’s offers a Light Italian Dressing that is lower in calories and fat. Made with a blend of vinegar, herbs, and spices, Arby’s Light Italian Dressing adds a tangy and flavorful note to salads. Whether you’re watching your calorie intake or simply prefer a lighter dressing, Arby’s Light Italian Dressing is worth a try.

13. Marinara Sauce

Marinara Sauce is a classic and versatile sauce that is commonly used as a dipping sauce for breadsticks, pizza, and other Italian dishes. Arby’s offers their own version of Marinara Sauce, made with tomatoes, garlic, and a blend of Italian herbs and spices. 

14. Mayonnaise

Much like the Ketchup listing this one needs no introduction. Mayonnaise, good on eggs…

15. Parmesan Peppercorn Ranch Sauce

Parmesan Peppercorn Ranch Sauce adds a bit to the Buttermilk Rach and the base Ranch. I like the hotter kick it gives and like it best with the Roast Beef sandwich. 

16. Red Ranch Sauce

Red Ranch Sauce is a tangy and spicey sauce that adds a unique twist to Arby’s sandwiches. Made with a blend of tomatoes, spices, and a touch of vinegar, Arby’s Red Ranch Sauce offers a zesty and bold taste that enhances the flavors of their menu items. I like it instead of Buffalo sauce on a chicken sandwich.

17. Roasted Garlic Aioli

Roasted Garlic Aioli is all about the roasted garlic beef sandwich. This sauce totally makes it. It is a creamy and flavorful sauce that is perfect for adding a burst of garlic flavor to Arby’s sandwiches. 

Imagine sinking your teeth into a medium cooked roast beef sandwich, with the bold aroma of garlic wafting through the air. That’s the experience Arby’s Roasted Garlic Aioli brings to the table.  A must try.

18. Sausage Gravy

Sausage Gravy is a classic and homely sauce that is commonly enjoyed with biscuits and on many of their meat choices such as Brisket. It’s a great option for breakfast or brunch. Arby’s offers their own version of Sausage Gravy, made with sausage crumbles, milk, flour, and a blend of savory seasonings. 

19. Smoky Q Sauce

Smoky Q Sauce is another one Arby’s recommend on Brisket. It is a bold and smoky barbecue sauce that adds a burst of flavor to Arby’s Brisket sandwiches. Made with a blend of smoky flavors, spices, and a touch of sweetness, Arby’s Smoky Q Sauce offers a rich and tangy taste that enhances the flavors of their menu items.

20. Spicy Brown Honey Mustard Sauce

A bit like Arby’s Honey Mustard this sauce uses as a base, with a kick of heat. The brown mustard is to thank for this, I love it on Roast Turkey and Swiss sandwiches, I also like it on Chicken sliders though. 

21. Tree Top® Applesauce

You can also get Tree Top® Applesauce. My kids eat it as is as a snack, and makes me feel better they are having something somewhat healthy, but I like it on any bacon/ pork sandwich.

Conclusions

I love the classic Arby’s sauce, and if you haven’t been to an Arby’s you have to try it! It’s been around since the 1970s so definitely stood the test of time! For uniqueness I think the Bronco Berry Sauce® delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and spice that adds a delicious kick to your sandwiches.  In terms of which sandwiches are best and worst I really like this guide from eat this not that.

With beef I go for the Horsey Sauce®, known for its horseradish kick, but depends on how spicey you like, and whether you like a little burning sensation up the nose! What do you think? Do you have an all time fav? Let us know in the comments.
