Arby's Mozzarella Sticks

Arby's Mozzarella Sticks- 3.5 crowns

So when I booked a vacation down the shore, one reason I was excited was because there is an Arby's down here. There used to be one closer to home, but it closed a long time ago. Anyway, when I found out that Arby's now serves mozzarella sticks, I got even more excited. However, this experience was a mess.


The breading: The breading is crunchy and looks crispy golden in the picture. And yet, it was bland and just didn't have a good flavor. 


The cheese: The cheese was solid. There was no cheese pull to be found anywhere with these. To be fair, I ordered ahead online at close to closing time and I had to drive twenty minutes back to the motel before I ate them, but even the flavor didn't hold up for me. Super bland.


The sauce: There is one, but I did not receive it with my order. Good call, Arby's.


Overall, I think these could possibly be bumped up by at least half a crown if they were warm in the slightest but they weren't. The extra half star comes from the prices! Arby's was doing a deal where you could choose two items for seven dollars, so naturally I ordered two packs of the mozzarella sticks, thinking it would be two of the smaller four-piece packs. However! for seven dollars I got two large orders, which is cheaper than ordering two large individual cartons for $5.49 each (the small cartons are $3.99 each). I guess they have to move this product somehow.

Texas Roadhouse Twisted Mozzarella

 Texas Roadhouse Twisted Mozzarella- 6/10 crowns   I am once again telling you I'm sure of what you're  thinking. Mozzarella sticks... Texas Roadhouse? And, sure, you would be right, this is certainly an odd combination. I come here for the onion flower, not mozzarella sticks. I think cheddar, not mozzarella. But you know what? These were actually decent. Worth the try, if you will. The breading: Jumping right into things, these were obviously frozen. Like, there's not going to be a sad employee in the kitchen breading twisted mozzarella cheese sticks with the bread crumbs. No. But it seemed to have a distinctive breading look instead of the fried coating which we are familiar with. Good start. ***Also! The picture on the website shows a twisted mozzarella stick shape. I have never seen that before, and still did not see them when i got my order, so that was misleading. But it's still cool to look at, so you should check that out.  The cheese: Yeah this was your standar

IHOP's Mozzarella Sticks

IHOP's Mozzarella Sticks- 7/10 crowns These are literally the *same* exact mozzarella sticks as Applebee's. I should just redirect you to that review. Speaking of  which ... Also, does that mean that IHOP is breakfast Applebee's?? The breading: Ok, girl, is there really much to say? Real bread crumbs. Good. The only thing about these breadcrumbs that isn't really my favorite is the cheese to breadcrumb ratio. There's no problem with having a lot of cheese, but my lactose a** would like more breadcrumbs to balance out the outrageous amount of dairy. The cheese: Anyway, so, the cheese always slaps. Even though my friend and I ordered takeout from the restaurant and ate them about twenty minutes after we picked them up, the cheese pull was still present. The other brands need to take note.  The sauce: It's Applebee's sauce. It's not bad. It's actually pretty good. But we all know that the sauce seems like it's made to give you st

Applebee's Crispy Cheese Bites

 Applebee's Crispy Cheese Bites- 1.5/10 crowns Applebee's is already on thin ice because they have once again raised their dine for two meal price from 2 for $22 to 2 for $24. ***Update 06/29/2023 2 for TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS NOW.  Utter jail. Just go to Chili's at that point because in their 2 for $25 dine meal, you get an appetizer, two entrees AND a dessert.  ***Update 06/29/2023 This Chili’s deal doesn’t exist anymore and for that they are on thin ice. There are just so many things working against these cheese bites. First, Applebee's already has a fried cheese option, the classic mozzarella sticks. These are also expensive AND they are not eligible for the half priced appetizers deal. Applebee's really fumbled the bag. The breading: The crust was a fried coating which does not necessarily have to be a bad thing, but these are just bland! No flavor. This might be better than a bad flavor, but I was hoping for something . No spices on the coating, nothing!  The chee
