Arby's is not halal at its US locations. No US restaurant is halal-certified, its beef and chicken are not slaughtered the zabiha way, and it serves pork, including bacon. We mark it "varies by location" because Arby's operates in some other countries, where local halal standards may apply. In the United States, however, it is not halal. Sides without meat avoid the meat itself, although they are made with shared equipment.
