★ 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.
