Arby's "has the meats" — and now it has its first-ever burger.
The fast food chain officially unveiled its new "Wagyu Steakhouse Burger" on Monday. The premium menu item features a 6.4 ounce single patty made of 52% American Wagyu and 48% ground beef, and is topped with American cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion and a special burger sauce.
Purchasers can also choose to add bacon and ranch for a more indulgent flavor profile.

"Boring burgers are a fast-food staple, so Arby’s felt compelled to raise the bar with a Wagyu steakhouse burger. Instead of focusing on making billions of mediocre burgers, we’re taking a stance on high-quality meat that deserves to be cooked properly," explained Patrick Schwing, Arby's CMO.
"As the meat experts, we’ve spent over two years of dedicated research and development to deliver a premium burger that redefines what’s possible from a drive thru. Overdone burgers are over and done," the executive continued.
Prepared using a "sous vide" style, which uses a vacuum-sealed pouch to slowly cook the meat in a temperature-controlled water bath, Arby's said the patty emerges with a crispy outer edge and slightly pink center.
The burger will be available to purchase at participating locations nationwide beginning May 23 and will be available through July 31. Pricing starts at $5.99.
