Reviews praise fresh salads, hot chicken and a friendly team at A&w Peace River, but note inconsistent service and occasional management/hygiene concerns.

Great TexMex, and little if any Cilantro Had Leal's platter and the cheese enchilada, shredded chicken taco and tamale were delicious.

Some of the best Tex Mex in the stateLove the hatch chile queso, and the enchiladas and refried beans are excellent.

Honestly, how hard is it to read a simple order? I also found that a few items were missed when I got home.

I visited the restaurant one night and had a fantastic experience with a great staff member. However, when I returned a couple of nights later, my experience was not as pleasant with a different staff member. It seems unfortunate that the quality of service can vary so much.

More information

Local patterns show the restaurant fills with regulars and seniors in the mornings and sees spikes around downtown market hours — a good time for people‑watching but expect a busier counter. Many customers who value hot, freshly prepared chicken note that a short extra wait often means noticeably hotter, fresher food. Staff shifts appear to influence the experience: some shifts are singled out for exceptional friendliness while others have produced complaints, so mid‑morning visits often deliver the most consistent service.
