Shoppers Report Costco is Pulling Its Controversial Roast Beef Sandwich From The Food Court.

Costco recently removed its popular food court churro from menus to the dismay of many fans and shoppers are now reporting that Costco’s much-maligned Roast Beef Sandwich is also getting the plug pulled. 

The Costco Roast Beef Sandwich made its debut in February of 2023, and customers were upset at its price of $9.99 and reviews claimed the sandwich was dry and lacked flavor. The sandwich continued to be rolled out to locations throughout the summer of 2023, but one Redditor recently posted that “The Roast Beef Sandwich is no more at my local Costco” in Madison, WI, along with a photo of the menu with the missing item. Another shopper from Glenville, IL also said that the sandwich had disappeared there too. 

There was a discontinuation rumor back in October regarding the sandwich being pulled at locations nationwide and it looks like it could be true. Some shoppers were thrilled about the news with one commenting “Good riddance” and another saying “Gone but also forgotten.” Costco did not respond to requests from EatThis,NotThat! for a confirmation that the sandwich had been discontinued.
