2040 Sumas Way, Abbotsford, BC V2S 2C7, Canada
Canada's original burger restaurant. Known for great-tasting burgers, handmade onion rings, and frosted mugs of famous A&W Root Beer. Now Proudly serving Organic Pret Coffee, offering hot, iced and frozen beverages at A&W Brew Bar.
Just had the most perfectly cooked / salted fries from here. Made my day. Thanks! Lineup was huge which is usually not the case for this location but I guess that's what happens when you have the best fast food.
Manpreet is so rude ! I was at drive thru I ordered eggs - specifically asked for salt pepper and ketchup ! There is nothing in my bag ! When I called store- she said she didn’t hear me and I should have double checked at the window! Didn’t even appologize or anything ! Surprisingly she’s the manager !!!!! She has 0 customer service skills !!!!!! I am an everyday customer here and this has never happened before ! I’m very disappointed with her behaviour !
Came in early ~10am and ordered a teen burger combo. Service was good, workers behind the counter were friendly and efficient. My order was made fresh in under 10mins. Super cold A&W root beer in a big mug chilled to an advertised -15 degrees, was also very good. Glad I remember they served hamburgers (and breakfast) all day. Glad I stopped at this convenient location.
I ordered a fresh poutine, the person did not put in any gravy and he did not seem interested in working his shift.
I suggest that people who buy drive thru check their foods carefully before leaving. Today, my drink have no straw, my fries have no ketchup. When I get back to ask for it, the Indian lady didn't have any apologetic attitude, but were very impatient instead. Ok, fine. Well done.
This a&w has gone downhill so much, we ordered a couple papa burgers with cheese asked for extra seasoning cause they never use it and they still didn't use any, the fries tasted like they been laying around for hours, burgers absolutely no flavor could not even finish it. Mission a&w is by far way better
Ended up here on a whim after a long drive. Forgot you could get burgers all day and wanted 2x Buddy burgers w/ cheese and Chipotle. Made and served Togo in 12 minutes, delicious. Lots of onion and they doubled my chez. Good experience.
This is a reminder to check your food before eating it. I noticed this mold after already eating the other burger. I hope no one else got a bun from this bag... I am giving two stars because this has never happened before and I have been coming here for many years. And because I went back and got cash back for my order right away. I appreciate the staff who helped me get a refund.
Messed up my breakfast order again. Not sure how they mess up breakfast sandwiches... Food
Should have went to the other location. Every table is sticky and the food is poor. This is our standards today I guess.
Got a couple burgers. They were stale and tasted musty and old. Now I m disgusted cause there was literally mold on one of them. Service was fine, but such a dirty, unhygienic location.
I love their Poutine!
Vegetarian options: Masala veggie burger Food
Customer service doesnt exist anymore in fast-food restaurants
Dietary restrictions: If you have a soy allergy, do not eat the burgers! The burgers are soy free, but they use soy on the grills. We found this out the hard way. Food
Vegetarian options: there are more option in store are compare on there app Food
Very friendly and fast service, great place to eat with family. The place is close to Highway One.
Terrible food! They have changed their chicken patties. They use to have the best chicken burger but they have changed the patties. It is now compressed rubber feel with a terrible after taste. Same expensive price too. Next time I will be going to McDonalds, at least its a bit less expensive for a compressed chicken burger.
The staff was very nice. The food was oddly cold and the strawberry shakes were watery. But the onion rings were perfect.
2 combos ordered, plus onion rings, $40, and the fries were stone cold. It was a take out order so had to go back in to complain, all the while my burgers were getting cold in the car. Not good. Food
Got what I ordered with a minimal time waiting..good food good service
Drive thru was partly blocked while truck loaded supplies. Service was quick and food was good. Vegetarian options: beyond meear burger is surprisingly good.
Liked their veggie peri peri burger
It was my second visit.. both last time and this time, the table was dirty and even the area where I had to sit had food or sauce grease on it, making it uncomfortable.
Found it really distasteful having to listen to the woman working at the front counter talking so poorly about the homeless while taking my order last night. Also this location continually forgets sauces so learn to enjoy your fries without your dip
This was my first time at this location and I was pleasantly surprised by the great service. Never had this experience at a fast food joint. Sierra (or was it Sarah?) was amazing. So friendly and attentive at every step of my visit.
My son and I ordered the All Canadian breakfast so that I could have a hot meal on this day of -14 degrees celsius and I received a cold breakfast. The toast was cold, the bacon was cold, the sausage was cold, the hash brown was stuff from being cold. The only item that was hot was the eggs, because I ordered custom eggs.
Literally in the drive through rn. It s been 30 minutes and nothing has happened. This should have been a McDonald s.
Its so hot we didnt enjoy the atmosphere. The heat is on at 30 degrees or so it feels like it! The buns on our becon and egger where old. Plus our food in general was not warm. Management needs to be involved with quality here it apparent.
If you want to see how a mismanaged, understaffed fast food joint operates, come check out this location. I swear the employees are trained to ignore customers as much as possible. Food tastes good, yet took 3 trips back to the counter to get what i ordered.
Ate a mozza burger from there last night, woke up at 4 am and started vomiting violently. No fever no chills, just food poisoning, contact me if you want. Would love to have a talk to the manager.
So consistent. GFS was just there so you know its fresher then a new pair of shoelaces
The food is good when it is received hot, but that is very unlikely. This location used to be excellent but over the past few years has gone down hill.
Ordered a lettuce wrap teen burger and when I was just about to have the last bite I found a used band-aid inside. I showed the staff. They admitted it was disgusting. Blamed the girl in the back making food. I had to leave. I was so sick to my stomach. I would like to have a meeting with the owner about this. NOT COOL
Well made lettuce wrap burger and fries capucino was not bad as well
Tables are always sticky and filled with crumbs . The heat is absolutely way to high in this place you cannot sit inside without baking.......turn your heat down and hire someone who can clean up properly. A month later and still same bloody results dirty tables everywhere and the heat is unbearable.....turn your heat to a reasonable temperature.
Really disappointing experience. Employee working the drive thru window tonight was extremely rude. Lots of attitude and wouldnt even acknowledge us when interacting at the window...made the entire experience very uncomfortable.
Fast, accurate, friendly
Worst a&w location by far. Zero customer service. Not sure how the a&w franchise can allow such a store. Pass by this store and go to whatcom location if you must.
Love it here. Would be nice if tables were cleaned
Friendly and quick service. Parking: Lots of parking and big stalls. Kid-friendliness: Lots for kids to eat. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs easy access.
Food was good but the restaurant needed cleaning
Hadnt been in years! Met family for a visit and lunch Must say pleasantly surprised A n W has really stepped up their game ! Will definitely go back for fresh food! Food
Prices are too high for what you get.
Garbage cans and place to put trays hidden
Staff were polite, food was well prepared and the restaurant was clean!
Ordered a teen a burger, got on the highway way and it s a beyond burger! I call them right away and the manager tells me it s impossible, that the two products are placed in separate places. Then tells me to bring it back so she can feel the texture to make sure which burger it is!!! Wouldn t even offer a replacement or accept the fact they gave the wrong burger.
Good for vegans
Place was quite empty, got served quickly. Same as any other A&W
Fast n friendly service
I hate a&w. Except when i like it
A&W Canada. Why mail out coupons for 2 combos for $16.99 and not allow mix and match for identical priced items? Current promotions for chubby chicken combos, 2 for $16.99 and also 2 teen burger combos for $16.99. Why in the world you do not allow a customer to order 1 chicken and one beef combo is illogical.
What s up with the frozen root beer? Tastes like slightly sweet ice with noooo flavour! Better to get a root beer slushie at the gas station for half the price. Save yourself. Sorry a & w not this time.
This location has an issue with cleanliness.
Very friendly staff. The concern I have is it is almost unbearable to sit in the restaurant as the heat is SOOOOO HIGH in there. The staff said there is an issue with the heat. Can you please get this fixed so customers can comfortably sit within the restaurant??? Food
The new buns are gross
Literally EVERYTIME I order food from this place it s wrong, waste of time and money
We regularly come to this location for breakfast and the service, food, and overall cleanliness has declined over the last while. The bathrooms are gross, the booths are ripped, the tables are sticky.
Two thumbs up ! Much better than McDonald s! They let you use your coupon a few times also .
Cold burgers and burnt ...
Ordered 2 double burgers, fries and asked for a fork. Got 2 completely different single burgers and no fork. Even reminded the guy at the window about the fork and still mostly incorrect. It wasn t even busy.
We came in specifically for a managers special advertised on their large video sign outside. The server said the special is no longer valid...even though it is still on the sign. He wouldnt respect the offer. He even tried to upsell me to something else. I complained and said any respectable business would not do what he did. So I bought the advertised product with a coupon I had, all the while making it clear that this was wrong. Later as we were eating, the server came, apologized and refunded the difference; he said it was with managers authorization. Oh...and the table we sat at looked clean but was very sticky.
Good burgers and onion rings, thats all I got to say .
Great place
The food is good, as usual for A&W. The dining area is roomy. However the service here is amateur compared to other A&W franchises. Workers look harried, unsure, and their Indian accents are very thick. Staff too monocultural for my liking. Washroom cleanliness needs improvement.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes Food
Two strikes and not going to try a third. Didn t give me my gravy last time and this time no fries for my gravy. No apology when going back in to let them know. Instead get blamed for their mistake. Might also help if you fixed your drive through screen.
Spicy pickle mama burger is
Other than it being expensive for a fast food burger place, everything was fantastic. Its a great place for a treat.
Teen burger is great, the lettuce was crisp and fresh. The fries were good. I have low score for atmosphere because I did drive through.
Dirty Useless staff we had to repeat everything in english 3 times Food
I eat at A&W because I can get a Lettuce Wrap burger and ask for no salt and they come thru most of the time. I have often asked for no ketchup in the past but I am often told it does not come with ketchup so I went on their website to look at the menu and confirm this and to my delight I read the ingredients and confirmed no ketchup was mentioned. So I I went to Sumas way location today and ordered my usual lettuce wrap uncle burger. But when I started eating it I found it had been loaded with ketchup. I called to complain and I was asked if I had ordered it without ketchup. I told them I had not and that it does not come with Ketchup. Then I was told to take it up with management. So I asked for the manager and when the manager came on I was asked again if I had ordered it without ketchup. I again said It should not have ketchup and to prove my point I started reading the ingredients from their website. The line went quiet and then I realized I was hung up on. I called back incase it was an accident but I went to voice mail. I know she did not like me telling her what is supposed to be on the burgers, but what am I supposed to do? It is right there on the site and they do not want to know from customers what to put on their food as set out by their corporate office. This location does not care how the food is made or dealing with customer complaints. I recommend staying away from this location. I want my money back and I want everyone to know how I was treated. I have gone to this location many times over the years but if this is how they treat customers then I will not be going back again. Dietary restrictions: To combat high blood pressure I avoid carbs like sweet things and buns and go for the lettuce wrap options and ask for no added salt. This is what happens to a lot of people my age and we have to look around for trusted places to eat where we can get food that is healthier for us to eat. Salt should be an option not forced on us. Same with Sugar and carbs. Ketchup is a horrible thing to eat. The only reason they put it on burgers is because they know it is one of those things that many people are hooked on because it contains too much sugar and preservatives and it increases body fat and obesity. This leads to many harmful affects that everyone is well aware of but the biproduct is increased consumption of food and to those that frequent fast food joints, it means an increase in more of the bad stuff if your not aware or careful. This all leads to many health issues and an earlier death. Know what your eating and know what your should avoid. You have the right to request healthier options and if a restaurant does not want to cater to your request, Do Not EAT There!
Foods pretty consistent and 9/10 the orders correct when they hand it to you at the drive through.
Its a&w so it was ok. Service was friendly, food nothing special. Atmosphere dont know as I did a drive through
Ok Wheelchair accessibility: Yes Food : 3/5 |
This particular location is quite different from others. They are disconnected from the customers. They make you feel like they are going out of their way for you. They appear rushed even if just one person was in-line and.
Are friends or white spot franchise to be very consistent and have seasonal menu?
Love the food. Fries could be a tad saltier in my opinion. Overall, great restaurant, great food, even greater service and friendliness from the employees. Vegetarian options: beyond meat
First time at this location, staff took a while to acknowledge and take my order. When i got my food i realized my hash browns were not fresh, they were not freshly fried, and the cheese was half on the actual sandwhich. Never had an experience like this at any other A&W.
Clean, helpful staff, well presented food and frosty cups
Fries were not hot, Its fast food
I found my visit very uneventful, girl behind the counter no uniform, in jeans wearing a hoodie with the hood over her head, took my order not very pleasant then proceeded to just start texting while my food sat in the slide tray for bout 1 min. For 1 wearing a hoodie while behind a food counter and having the hood over ur head I find very disrespectful, 2 you shouldnt be texting on ur phone while behind the counter more disrespect. I find it to be a poor way of running a store but being a franchise probably nothing will be done.
Teen burgers are the best !
They treat there staff like garbage.
I only get onion rings from A&W and this location is very inconsistent, sometimes they have ro much seasoning its hardly edible and other times there is no seasoning, rarely do they get the right amount on there. Staff is friendly and they are efficient, rarely make you wait longer then 5 minutes for fresh
Charged me 30 dollars for a kids meal and teen burger combo. When asked why I was told apple juice is an additional 6 dollar charge. No one will correct it. Total should be 22 dollars. Never going back. Sickening how it was handled too. Incompetent staff needs retraining
See you tomorrow
It was ok... Considering I had to wait for the food it was room temperature Wich was a surprise! Restaurant is very clean and the gentleman behind the counter is very polite n helpful
Reliable fast food and good dine in experience for lunch with colleagues.
Same great taste like when Iwas a kid
Definately my go-to fast food place!
Root beer had a bad taste to it, burger was really nice and soft
Great place to grab a scrumptious burger or have a cup of delicious coffee.
Same old.
The food was good but the coffee was absolutely terrible and made me sick . I felt like a trash compactor afterwards. I felt like garbage for hours and was not happy about it at all . !
Breakfast and Coffee with friends. What could be better? This is a great start to the weekend.
>Food was fresh & Hot & The service quick No pleasantries Like hello or thank you ... besides that oh Only thing was they forgot our straws We went back to get them as We were travelling not going home and once we told them they forgot them & got 2 straws The staff gave No response like we are sorry or etc I find that rude so Staff could be better
Very delicious hamburgers and onions rings are greasy but yummy.
Great food quick sevice comftorable location
I love A&Ws breakfast menu
Good food, nice service but a very dirty place and I didnt feel very safe . This comment is based on my own experience thank you .
Went to 2 different A and Ws and ordered ,Mama burger, Onion rings and a medium strawberry milkshake, both places had no milkshakes availible, very very let down
Favorite memories of my childhood
I dont usually write a review but i went their couple of times . And the food was expired and dead. The reason i know because i have worked at a&w in past and i know how it feels, looks, and taste like when the food is expired. And everytime i went here the food was expired .
Delicious as always, I love the cold glasses.
I got the new Nashville Hot chicken sandwich was way beyond my expectations for any restaurant never mind a fast food restaurant. It was a large sandwich with a decent amount of spice, quickly served. The restaurant was clean and service was excellent. 4.75 stars is my official rating for the Sumas way location.
Very friendly staff and fast service.
Love the breakfast deal here... Classic Canadian thingy is on point!
Cheapest place to find in a hurry.
Friendly and helpfull staff Parking: Good parking spaces available Kid-friendliness: Friendly staff interacting with families and children Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair acess
I have waited years for a whistle dog and it looks like Ill be waiting several more. Did you even bring them back because I have tried to get one 6 out of the last 7 days at 2 locations and they dont have them. 1st world problem- I know. How difficult IS it to source the very common ingredients for this menu item and get them delivered??? All the advertising, all the excitement and you cant deliver. Super disappointing a&w.
So juicy and so tender..yummy chicken!(my 4yo says) I find this location has more attentive staff and fresher ingredients over all. The teen or mozza burger LETTUCE WRAPPED is so amazing and fresh! Especially on these hot days
There place has place downhill over the past year. The burger patties are always burnt and missing ingredients. Just drive to Clearbrook.
Great morning crew. Very friendly and speedy service.
Vert slow bad English
Im not usually a big fan of A&W, but this specific one feels like its more fresh.
Sad to see the whistle dog only lasted a few weeks and most of that time they didnt have them any ways ..not good
quick service
Service was not the best. Food was okay but pricey for what you get.
Love their Apple pies!!!!
Paid 30 dollars for 2 burgers and onion rings. The onion rings were not rings. We instead received a bag of onion mush with some breading crumbs. I know its fast food but it would be nice to say we got a little bit of actual value for our money.
2 combos with rings $32..its not that good
Love A&W but this location is the worst one. Big LED sign out front says $1 coffee any size but got to the window and they said that deal expired 8 days ago but they just have not changed the signage? Harpreet your Supervisor refused to honor the price. Sign says $1 coffee you should honor what you advertise am I wrong?
I normally dont eat fast food. But I was running around and I was hungry. I ordered the chicken strips because Hey, no hormones! When I took the 1st one out of the bag it was lukewarm and sort of limp. I took a small bite and it wasnt cooked. The other 2 also were limp. I threw it away I didnt have the energy to go back to complain. I dont understand, isnt the food all on a timer? Gross. What a waste
Takeout. They always get the order right.
Hood food goid prices good servicr
Asked for Ketchup, the lady says ok...drive away. Is there ketchup in the bag? Of couse not. Thats ok, usless people always exceed my expectations.
Great tasting burgers. My wife has the buddy burger with cheese and adds lettuce and tomato. Always done right
Great tasting....100x better McDonalds.
You know I called to order pork fried rice as a prank and the woman who s working right now is absolutely fantastic. 10/10 best customer service ever. She told me I could order anything I wanted.
Hashbrowns where too greasy could not eat them, need to change their oil
Good food
The best place for enjoy hamburgers in Canada!
Went through the drive thru..was extremely slow, but food ordered was good
A pretty good deal here. Except when I asked for sunnyside up. Wasnt cooked long enough
So I visited this drive Thur location last night with three cars ahead of me and a few behind. I wanted to have the beyond the meat burger. So we pulled up to the menu board and there s a sign out of beyond burgers . Quite frustrating as we were now blocked in behind multiple vehicles and couldn t get out anywhere. We patiently waited as each car got their meals. So annoying as it s not quick. Maybe next time so it doesn t happen to future customers you can put signs prior to entering your drive Thur such as the two drive Thur signs!
Damn good and diet root beer
Great location, super convenient! BUT very slow service and for the last three times I have been, they always forget something. I do normally get orders for 4-5 people (all in one order) and some things are easy to spot (like a drink) but I wont sit there opening 3 bags to count and make sure all burgers, fries and everything is in there.. well, it hasnt been the case lately so, quite disappointing
Best tasting anw ever
Staff was very irritated with god knows what. Worst at customer service. Would never visit again.
Went for coffee with my friend. I guess new employee, had trouble with register. We paid, then we had to wait, she never poured the coffee. We thought oh good fresh pot brewing. Coffee was NOT brought to us. We had to go get it. It was COLD. Back we went...finally 10mins later got our coffee, oh by the way we were the only customers!! .
Like the lettuce wrap burger option
Clean and fresh hot food What more can you ask for
this place is fantastic and service is top notch.
