Honestly had a really great experience, the food was very hot and fresh, the employees seemed a little rushed but that’s okay. Got the mushroom burger and the chicken and waffles and it was great. We will definitely be going again if we are in the area!!

My local A&W closed down. So I drove nearly 2 hours to this place just to have a BBQ Bacon Crunch Burger and it was 100% worth the trip! Food is absolutely delicious and it didn’t take too long to arrive.

Lunch with my Love at A&W was overall a wonderful experience. The food is absolutely amazing! Everything was cooked fresh AND came to our table hot. They had homemade onion rings which were fire, the single papa burger had a decent size smash patty, thick cut veggies and was a good size for a single, I could do the double in 1 sitting! Only reason I didn’t give all 5s was due to the facilities both being dirty. Owner was very friendly and let us know about a new weekend special on their chicken tenders AND gave me a mug! ( he gets a 5 as well!! ) We would absolutely go back and are this weekend.

Root beer is house made and incredible. Obviously the big draw with the root beer floats, also exceeds expectations. I didn't know the restaurants and in store a&w were different until the recent law suit against the in store company. The cheese curds are awesome, honestly, just as good as many that I had in Minnesota/ Wisconsin. Burgers were expensive, but so is all fast food these days. Daughter got chicken tenders and they were whole pieces of really good chicken. 5/5 for the tenders.

The staff (2 ladies running the whole show), were so freaking nice and accomidating. The food came out quick & tasted really good....fresh and hot. Mini cordogs and fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside....perfect. The Mushroom burger was tasty too, though missing something...flavoring/spice....something to tie it together? Otherwise, it was perfect. Thanks so much!
