Arby’s fans who have been itching to get their hands on the company’s Thanksgiving-themed Turkey Gobbler sandwich are in luck now that the chain has brought it back for a limited time.
The Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler returned to Arby’s restaurants on Monday, Oct. 26, Arby’s said in a press release sent to USA TODAY. Also returning is the Deep Fried Turkey Club sandwich. Diners can order the sandwiches solo or as part of a meal, according to the company's website.

Fans react to Arby's Gobbler name, cranberry sauce
The sandwich hype goes back to 2017, when the Deep Fried Turkey Club first made its debut; the sandwich returned in 2020, according to Arby's parent company, Inspire Brands. The Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler came along in 2024.
Last year, social media users took to X to poke fun at the sandwich’s name.
“So @Arbys has their Thanksgiving-themed fried turkey/stuffing/cranberry sando back again, but making a grown man have to publicly ask for 'The Gobbler' out loud is CRAZY work,” the user said on X.
But a name doesn’t stop a darn thing, the user said.
“Anyways, I’ll have two, please and thank you,” they continued.
Others who have tried the sandwich said "there's a lot going on," but it's not bad. The cranberry sauce is slightly overpowering, said TikToker Grootie the Foodie when trying the Gobbler last November.

The limited-time offering is something fans still look forward to each year, Arby’s said in its press release.
This year, customers took to social media to ask about the Gobbler in September.
“So uh….Gobbler when?” one X user wrote on Sept. 18, tagging the restaurant.
And most recently, content creator Greasy News gave Arby’s a shout out on Facebook for bringing the sandwich back, causing excitement for fans.
Some commenters said they were shocked at how good it was when they tried it last year. Others ran out and got one, noting that they’d make a change or two.
“When I saw this post, I ran out and got one,” wrote one Facebook user. “I’ve never tried it. Very tasty, but I think I would skip the cranberry in the future.”
