I like venison roasts, steaks, burgers, and venison jerky. Delicious!

When I heard of the oncoming venison sandwich at Arby’s, I was curious. On Saturday, October 21st, Arby’s nationwide chain debuted their venison sandwich and I got one.

I popped open the box and got my first look.

I checked under the hood and saw some onion rings and sauce and thought "good idea on the onion rings." Kinda skimpy on the sauce, but I guess I wanted to try the meat, that was in the shape and size of a small fillet. I thought it might have been a good idea to slice up the meat the way they do with their other sandwiches, but that was not to be. Okay, any way….

I took a bite and was unimpressed, it was just kind of "blah." The sauce and onion rings stood out, but the meat seemed reminiscent of the cardboard box the sandwich came in.

I got about halfway through the sandwich and ran into some serious gristle. So much so, I tried to eat around it but could not. At almost $8, I felt ripped off.

To sum it up, I will go back to Arby’s in the future, but I will never again order one of their venison sandwiches. I think I’ll return the inedible portion for a refund.
