This’ll always be my go to burger spot, so much higher quality and for a reasonable price. The area was clean and the staff were attentive but the only small issue I had was this young tattooed girl working there with brown hair and teeth that have gotten to be quite dark and rotten… this has nothing to do with management but I hope she can jump onto a better dental routine soon, before she has to get any teeth removed. Once again I just love the restaurant and wanted to thank all the staff for making the experience worth while!

Wow super friendly staff here . Josephine made a fresh batch of fries , because I had asked for unsalted , and Josephine then ran out side to to my car to bring me condiments . And smiling the whole time . I really recommend this location for fast and friendly service . Wow Josephine went above and beyond her call of duty and kept a genuine smile

Sam at the front counter is such an amazing human! They were very friendly and super efficient and I could see them managing everything during the lunch rush and leading the team with ease. Very fast too!

The place is great, except I don't remember seeing any disability buttons for the doors. This would be the only issue. If this wad added in, it'd be fantastic. I'm giving 5 ☆ however if the option was there I'd give it 4.5☆ but a good business/the employees that were there at my visit, shouldny lose a full star for something their owners need to fix.

Mold on buns. Don’t go here. Luckily I didn’t take a bite of it. Disgusting. Managers need to check your products before opening. Absolutely disgusting.

sometimes they may not put everything on the receipt, there is chocolate milk or something like that, the service is good, the atmosphere is like all A&W restaurants

August 21, 2023

Absolutely disgusting. I’ve always gotten a teen burger and I’ve always been satisfied until I went to the one on Edmonton trail. As I spent $8 for this burger and got pickles that looked and tasted extremely expired. The meat tasted raw. This was not a good experience. I didn’t even end up eating this burger as it was gross. The drive thru took forever as well. I felt like I was waiting for 10 minutes

December 20, 2024

Went to the drive thru this evening and I just wanna say it was the worst experience I ve ever had here. First of all stop promoting through the drive thru, I know what I want and I can barely hear the person due to the fact that the microphone is trash and the person serving me barely speaks any English. Got so frustrated I pulled up to the window and ordered there. I also asked for no pickles on one burger and plain with cheese on the other burger, and yeah what do you know pickles and my plain burger was like covered in sauce? I have appetite issues and problems with eating so my request very much needed to be respected. Definitely won t be coming back here that was actually stupid as hell, complete waste of money and time.

You won t get what you ordered as the people working the drive thru are not fluent in English. Furthermore, all locations in Airdrie are not using the right hash browns (they are oval instead of square). They are trying to scam the customers. Edit* the food I did get is not even warm. Avoid all Airdrie A&W s.

We have ordered multiple times in the past week, and each time you mess up our orders, forget things, or give us the wrong items. It s not that hard to read. And it s disappointing because you were our go to place. But now we don t want to order from your location because of the lack of service, the lack of reading and giving what the customer ordered. A simple fix would be : READ the order.

We always enjoy the food from this location, however when my family went to dine in and eat lunch we found the location is not very family friendly. They only have one highchair for the entire restaurant and neither of the bathrooms had a change table, we had to go back out to our vehicle just to change our babys diaper. Unfortunately we will not be returning in the foreseeable future due to the lack of family friendliness of the restaurant.

★★★★★
December 21, 2023

The best A&W around. The best fast food around for that matter. Consider this place somewhere between fast food and an order at the table resturaunt. They take the order and bring the food out in a few minnutes, ensuring its hot and fresh everytime.

For the third week in a row I have gotten worse service. Last week they forgot the sausages. It was a small and understandable mistake. Today they forgot to give me three hashbrowns I ordered, and something tasted really wrong with the smoothies and I had kids in the car, so I couldnt double check the bag. The pancakes were screwed up somehow and I am done. Dont go through the drive thru Saturday morning.

★★★
December 21, 2023

Clean restaurant which is great. Unfortunately as I watched the person in the kitchen put together our breakfast sandwich and I feel that if you can handle the bacon and eggs with your bare hands, my food is not hot and it was not hot. Disappointing

So walked in and 2 girls getting drink at machine 1 girl at window. One of the girls getting drinks stops talking to other girl and just looks at me. Girl at window says shell be by to take order asap I say no problem. Girls at machine dont move. (5 min? Line starting to form behind me) I stand for way too long while this girl and her buddy yak over the finer points of machine. Still standing there. Then she turns like shes doing something does a little walk around then goes to another till and asks if she can help me. I get it. You dont want to serve me. You made that obvious. Now I hope you have explain to your boss. Customers come first. Not your stupid conversation. Stop acting like you are busy. I can see you are not. Serve me!!!!

Be careful ordering a coffee from here. I went there saturday evening to order a coffee and they made me wait 15min for it, also keep in mind the traffic through that branch was very low. It would have been a longer wait if i hadnt gone up to the drive thru window to remind them that i had ordered a coffee. Very poor service! Your better off going across the street to McDonalds to get a coffee imho.

Alisha saw me come in and took my order. My hands were noticeably shaking because I have a disability disorder called Essential Tremors.

Super cute and nostalgic A&W. Many of the A&Ws nowadays seem more renovated and up to date but this A&W still has a well maintained old school feel. We stopped in on our road trip for a quick meal and were very happy with the freshness of our meal and the feel of the establishment. They still give you old school A&W mugs to drink out of! Not sure if I just havent actually SAT down for a meal in A&W for a while but it was a nice little touch. Burgers were great and the onion rings were just perfect! I absolutely love A&W onion rings and these ones were so on point. Super crispy and hot and the seasoning was just right. We really couldnt have asked for a better experience during our road trip.

Bought small kids drinks. Girl asked if I wanted a drink tray and I said yes. Problem is that the small drinks do NOT fit in the tray so when she handed to me they fell and spilled all over the car. They did not care or offer more. Handed me napkins which didnt clean the mess and I still have root beer all over the console, seats and floor. Not impressed at all!

The only reason I even took the time to write this stellar review is your employee Miranda at the drive thru. She was without a doubt the friendliest most engaging employee at an A&W Ive ever had and should honestly be teaching all your staff here and at restaurant locations all over Canada just how to treat the customer. Ive never felt more at ease, my patronage wanted or happy to see someone so full of positivity. Her manners on the drive thru telecom were like a breath of fresh air. Hell I even tipped her my change $4 something simply for being herself. Ill say it again Miranda saved my experience at your store because lord knows the food was slower and the onion rings barely room temperature. That woman deserves a raise and better opportunities in your franchise or the company itself. Dont lose her....
