It's an A&W, simply the best food in the industry.

Worst bugger I've ever had fries were dry as a bone do not go to this location it's terrible

October 21, 2024

The service is awful , the attendant couldn’t get my order right and got mad when I told Him the price was wrong, this place use to have great workers but I’m not sure what changed but I won’t go there anymore.

This is the cleanest A&W I've ever visited. I checked out the kitchen, and every station was spotless. The employee was even measuring the temperature of all the meat burgers. I was really impressed.

We stopped for lunch on July 13, 2024 at about 11:30 am. The gal who took our order was pleasant and let us know our food would be brought out to us when it was ready. When it came , it was hot and very tasty! I hope the people who worked that shift get this message! Also, the restaurant was very clean, as well as the washrooms. Very pleasantly surprised!

Typical A&W restaurant, hard, uncomfortable seats. Limited menu, but mostly good for fast food. No gluten free options available (none advertised anyway). Clerk taking our order was unengaged, impersonal, like he could care less if you were there or not. Not a pleasant experience. Clerk that gave us the meal was friendly, smiled and thanked us, wishing us a good day. A pleasant experience compared to taking the order.

Always burn the toast. I have brought it 3-4 times last 2 months and it is always burned

We came here to order combos but the indian guy told me there was no chipotle mayo to give to me. He was keep telling me that no chipotle mayo no chipotle mayo. He refused to give me what i need. We paid lots of money for it but didnt deserve a good service. We will not coming back anymore. This Is the worst AW in Brandon EVER!

My daughter was set on having a breakfast sandwich for supper, so when Tim Hortons didn t have breakfast all day I called A&W. Jash at the Brandon trans Canada location answered the phone and took my order over the phone and had it ready when I arrived. It was the best service and my daughter was so happy!

Food was fresh, restaurant looks great, and the service is amazing! Kid-friendliness: With about 12-15 of hungry kids coming in just right before closing time. Jash welcomed us all in and encouraged us to stay, eat and dine in. That s not an employee, that s a team leader right there

December 21, 2023

The Service was horrible. People that work there have no people skills.

The food is fast food so salty, but tastey. The lettuce was fresh and crispy, generously applies to the Mozza Burger. Temperature was nice and hot! The counter staff was accommodating. I had to go back in for milk for my tea, since my partner forgot to ask for it and they added milk and gave me a stir stick so that my tea was perfect. Parking: Close to the entrance and plenty of it!

Maintence crew was out with backpack blowers at 6am operating them for an hour directly beside the neighbouring Super 8 Hotel. Zero concern for the neighbouring property. Woke up everyone on that side of the hotel. Crew was Opita Moving and Yard Maintenance.

This was absolutely the best A&W experience Ive ever had my whole life. The clerk (Meet) was super friendly and while I had a coupon for the Nitro root beer, they currently arent serving it at this location. So we upgraded me to a slushie root beer instead. Way better than the new Nitro in my opinion anyway! The Mozza, the Teen and the onion rings were all better than perfect! Highly recommend!

Girl taking order likes to offer upgrades to everything you order but isnt really listening. Offered me upgrade of rings and I said yes, then charged me for fries. After waiting a while I get my food and I said I ordered rings. She charged me for fries and wanted to charge for onion rings. I have no time to wait so just took the fries. Poor listening skills. Also of you make mistakes you shouldnt charge people.

We love a&w but we always get scammed out of our cupon savings, especially at this location. I had a cupon for 3 strip combo for $7.49 and asked for onion rings instead of fries. This is a $1 upcharge. Somehow they charged me an extra $2 and was not given a receipt so could not dispute the difference. Please be advised that this happens all the time. A&w please educate your staff in knowing how to enter in these things!

Very disappointed with my visit to this A&W. Service was very slow, only 1 person on the front counter. When I asked about the charge for upgrading to onion rings for my meal the lady didnt know and the employee she asked said maybe $2 or $3. At this point I said you dont know? So just got the fries. When I finally got my order the fries were hardly warm and my mozza burger was also just warm and lacked its usual greatness. I only eat at A&W once every 3 months or so . The line was too long to make a complaint. The A&W rootbeer was excellent as usual!

A great location and easy to access from the highway coming from either direction, but often gets busy enough to be quite slow and backed up. Good for their business, but inconvenient for a fast roadside stop. The staff are friendly and the restaurant is usually clean though, so difficult to complain. Parking: Parking is easy to access, but the drive thru line can make it almost impossible to use half of the spots and has potential to get a parked car boxed in completely so you cant leave. Park on the north side of the lot or walk from further away if its busy.
