What is on Arby's Chicken Cheesesteak?
All three start with the same base:
- Chicken: marinated in a spice blend with garlic, onion and paprika, seared, then cooked sous vide. The Takeout says each sandwich has about 4 oz of chicken
- Cheese: Cooper Sharp American cheese, the same Philly favorite on Arby's Angus Cheesesteak (about 2 oz)
- Roll: a toasted sesame seed roll
- Caramelized onions on the Chicken and Spicy versions
The Deluxe adds shredded lettuce and sliced tomato. The Spicy adds a spicy glaze. The Takeout says the heat comes mainly from cayenne and sits at the low end of medium.
Which Arby's Chicken Cheesesteak is best?
Two of the three reviews say skip the Deluxe.
| Reviewer | Chicken | Deluxe | Spicy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sporked | 8.5/10 | 5/10 | 9/10 (favorite) |
| The Takeout | Top pick | Avoid | Close runner-up |
| Tasting Table | "A solid sandwich" | Called it an upgrade | Mild, building heat |
- Spicy: Sporked's favorite. The heat balances the rich cheese, but it's messy.
- Classic: "Simple is best," says The Takeout. Some reviewers found the chicken soft and the bread too thick.
- Deluxe: the hot chicken wilts the lettuce and warms the tomato. Sporked and The Takeout both said it isn't worth the extra $1.
The Takeout also said about $8 is a bit steep for a chicken sandwich. Tasting Table and The Takeout reviewed samples from Arby's.
How long is the Chicken Cheesesteak at Arby's?
Arby's launched it on October 12, 2026, for a limited time at participating US restaurants, while supplies last. No end date has been given. You can order in the restaurant, at the drive-thru, or on the Arby's app and website.
The Angus Cheesesteak also started as a limited-time item and later joined Arby's permanent menu in 2026, so the chicken version could follow if it sells well.
