A&w

★ 3.7 / 5 (7288 reviews)

Nestled in a charming area, this A&W has garnered mixed reviews that highlight both its strengths and weaknesses. Diners rave about the hot and fresh food, particularly the burgers, chicken tenders, and classic root beer floats, all reminiscent of nostalgia. Friendly staff contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, while the restaurant features cozy decor with a hint of old-fashioned charm. However, inconsistent service and high prices dampen the experience for some patrons, with issues ranging from cleanliness to staff behavior. Despite the occasional hiccups, it remains a beloved stop for those craving a classic fast-food fix after a day at the beach.

I ordered a combo but didn’t receive my fries or shake. When I went back to ask for a drink, I was told I couldn't buy a cup for water. The burger was good, but without the drink and fries, I don’t think I’ll be returning.

Eating is pretty okay. it is possible to enjoy it when they are in the right mood. the pricing is, however, somewhat too expensive. the last time I left, I ordered a few chicken teeth and a root beer boat. the sum came to $11.56, and I had only one ten on me. I asked the woman who works if she could change something, and she told me that they have a strict policy on what is understandable. then she led me to a nearby bank, for which I now realize there was a breath. but at that time I thought she recommended to share in a life of the crime. I thank her and told her I'm back. I went to the bank and went with fireworks that I had behind my truck. I asked her to fill a bag with cash right away. but my request was never given and instead the bulls arrived and took me in the backs of their car. they have thrown me into prison and to this day still the debt a

Not a fan of the Swiss burger, not your normal Swiss cheese.
