A&W

First time at A&W — drawn by the caring process of food treatment and ingredients. Awesome service and friendly. Definitely a fan now they made the burger protein style for me in the style of In-​N-​out.
Go here and get your burger lettuce wrapped baby!

I really like this A&W’s, the burgers are consistently good here. The staff are friendly (one girl was a little umm… uneducated but that’s fine). Most are polite and go above and beyond to help the customer.
They allowed us to have refills on our root beer, gave us some a&w seasoning to go, the food was presented well and it was delicious.
My boyfriend always wants to go here. He is obsessed with their seasoning, sweet potato fries, and poppa burgers.
I enjoy going here as well. He’s new to A&W’s (first time was this year), so he’s obsessed with it and especially this one as the food is consistently good and the staff is nice.

I’ll admit, fast food doenst really count as a restaurant in my eyes, but something about A&W keeps alluring me back to the opposite side of this notion.
I ordered the Uncle Burger with fries and a large root beer. I have to say, I was impressed. The burger has the perfect amount of mayonaisse and mustard with ketchup, and the meat was cooked proprely to a nice medium well. The rootbeer was freezing cold and just added to the experience.
Staff wise, they were very friendly, and I was expecting the typical rude lunch lady attitude. Total opposite discovered here!
The fries were cooked perfectly, not too crispy but not too soggy.
I admit it, I was impressed. This place still makes a great old fashioned burger. Probably in my top 10 burger places in the GTA.

I don’t mind saying, I like A&W a lot. I think their menu is solid, and a certain amount of care is put into their meals, even if it is fast food. However, this particular location has given me problems more than once. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s open ²⁴⁄₇ that has completely rocked this place between the shoulder blades, but something’s missing.
One time I went there in the middle of the night for just 1 Teen burger. No onion rings or drinks or anything, just a burger. I was told that it may be a few minutes (no explanation why), to pull ahead, and someone would be out to bring me my food when it was ready. Well, I ended up having to wait around 15 – 20 minutes before the girl finally came out (apologetically, mind you), and that was it.
Now, I’m not one of those people to get all cray-​cray over having to wait for food, but if I’m getting fast food in a drive-​through, I expect it to be prepared fairly quickly. I’d wager that even the Burger Family would be pissy over a wait like that. I’ve also noticed differing levels of food quality over the times I’ve been there, which can be easily dismissed because it’s fast food, though I’ve never had this issue at any other A&W.
It’s funny that this stuff happens at this location, since it’s in the same plaza as Denny’s (where you do have to wait, but for higher quality food), which neighbours McDonalds (crappy food given to you in milliseconds). You’d think between the 2 of those ²⁴⁄₇ threats, A&W would be furiously stepping up their game. Maybe some day. Come on bear, get it together!
