Chef and Reality TV Host Kristen Kish Says Arby’s New French Dip Royale Truly Tops the Competition

The French Dip just got a royal upgrade – bigger, bolder and more irresistible – and now available at Arby’s nationwide

Arby’s is turning up the flavor this season with the new limited-time French Dip Royale, a crave-worthy take on a classic that delivers bigger bites, bolder taste and a dipping experience fit for royalty.

Putting a flavor-packed Arby’s spin on a classic, the French Dip Royale is topped with Arby’s signature thinly sliced roast beef that’s slowly roasted in-house for 3-plus hours until tender and juicy. Melted provolone is then added for richness, while the caramelized onions, garlic aioli and steak seasoning bring depth and contrast. Served on a toasted artisan sub roll with a side of savory au jus, it’s all pulled together for a truly dip‑worthy experience.

“With the French Dip Royale, we’ve reimagined a classic. We’re tapping into French Dip flavors trending on menus. It’s even more savory and indulgent — with thinly sliced roast beef topped with melted provolone, caramelized onions, steak seasoning and garlic aioli, served with au jus that brings together every bite,” said Jeff Baker, Chief Marketing Officer at Arby’s. 

A Campaign That Proves Details and Precision Matters with Great Food

To celebrate the launch, Arby’s teamed up with chef, reality star and host, Kristen Kish, for a new digital campaign, “French Dip Royale Precision.” The spot follows Kristen as she moves from professional, elevated and refined to laid-back and off duty showing that French Dip Royale fits every vibe. Because no matter the setting or the moment, details and process matter, especially when a sandwich is this good. Plus, it makes you feel like a Royale even without a tailored suit or full glam.

“Arby’s was a part of my childhood. I grew up eating it, so there’s a real nostalgia there for me,” said Kristen Kish, fan-favorite chef and TV personality. “And I’ve always loved a good French dip, so when it came to theirs, with their signature thinly sliced roast beef at the center of it all, it was a no-brainer.”

Now available nationwide for a limited time only, the French Dip Royale delivers premium ingredients, bold flavor and a dip worth leaning into – whether enjoyed refined or unapologetically messy.

The French Dip Royale is available starting at $7.49 for a limited time at participating Arby’s locations nationwide. Guests can order in-restaurant, drive-thru, online or through the Arby’s app. For more information, visit www.arbys.com.
