Best burgers for take away, especiappy their new addition of Veg masala burger. It was yummilicious.

Sardis A&W location. I had a concern about a food product and politely called the restaurant and asked to speak to the owner. I was abruptly told that I cannot speak to the owner. When I questioned why I could not, I was told they do not operate that way!! The man who answered said he is paid to answer concerns. I was not happy with his responses and was told by him that I could not speak to the owner. I simply asked for the owner to call me at his convenience. Again, I was told that was not possible. What is there to hide? As a former business owner, I valued my clientele and encouraged any clients to contact me if they had any concerns. I hope that owner reads this review. Certainly not a good sign if an owner does not wish to respond to his customers. Last time I looked, businesses do not fare well without customers.

The seating space is limited, and tables could be cleaned better. Service was friendly, and food was serviced quickly. Good experience

We have been enjoying this A&W location for literally YEARS! From the drive through to inside dining, the service and quality of food has always been top notch. The “young” lady that wears the headset (sorry I should know her name by now) has been @ this location for as long as I can remember and she is always so pleasant and helpful!! The inside is clean and very comfortable. The only potential issue I see nowadays is the homeless using the bathroom facilities, could be a concern.

I hope you guys get shut down by Fraser Health. Knowingly putting food out in this condition is unacceptable. My 8 year old daughter was trying to eat this in the back of the vehicle this evening. But it gets better. Quick search on Facebook and oh look yesterday someone else got a raw chicken burger as well. Was talking to another dad at the hockey game we were trying to make it to and oh his wife got a raw chicken burger a few days back. Management should be ashamed of themselves. Absolutely no excuse for this. How poorly trained is the cook that they can't tell if the deep fryer is on.

November 5, 2022

Awful experience, no straws (we were on a drive so we either throw away our drinks or spill the all over our car) the poutine was flooded with gravy so much that you couldn’t even eat it, the burger was dry and we only got 1 napkin. Every thing went In The garbage at the next stop. Do not recommend you come here

July 30, 2022

Not a great first experience. Lived in Chilliwack for a year and this was our first time at this A&W location. The onion rings were a disaster , couldn’t even eat them. SO soggy and cold, and the breading was crumbling off. Chicken was not fresh. Annoying when you spend 20$ a meal for this. May as well go eat at a nicer restaurant and spend slightly more for much better quality. Normally A&W is decent but I probably won’t go back after that

I use to go to A&W but staff been trying to tell me they never had a grilled chubby chicken i use to buy it all the time for lunch when the A&W was on the cottonwood mall I know you had i even bought on Vedder restaurant as well some lady said she been working at the one on Vedder Road up near McDonalds sayings been there 15 years they never had it bullshit because I was always buying since I moved here in 2010 it just stopped serving it just over 3 to 5 years ago so cant tell me you never had it I just think her 15 years on the job need to go back to training if you dont know what you had before and dont have it know then thats mind blowing if she dosent know that ? It suck that you got rid of it I loved having it with either sweet potato fries or the Onion rings with a A&W root beer but since you dont have my burger anymore I took my business somewhere else like Dairy Queen at least they kept thier Grilled chicken burger on there menu

This A&W location has serious struggles in getting food items out in a timely manner. This has been my experience in n multiple occasions, both on and off peak hours, and without warning about the 10-20 minute wait time. If you re in a hurry this is not the place to stop.

Our food at A&w is always top-notch quality, delicious and so much more affordable eating out for a family of four with two picky children than any other restaurant I could go to. I had a teen burger with extra pickles and extra cheese and yam fries and diet root beer. Sooo good! My kids love the yam fries and their fruit shakes.

Place was run by a bunch of teens. Had no napkins for customers. Said they Ran out. Another time no French fries. Again, Said they ran out. Staff spilling liquids on the floor and just spreading it around with their feet. Trays not being properly cleaned. Table tops not being wiped. I find that is the biggest turn off when they don t have staff to clean the tables where other customers need to eat. It s disgusting

Vedder Road A&W. The tables were filthy and sticky. All of them! I rubbed a napkin across the table we sat at and the napkin became brown with waxy gunk. So a deep cleaning is required! Ugh!

December 21, 2022

Tonight I went to a and w around 10.45 pm, Sunday 24th of April. I asked for a 5 piece chicken strip meal with 2 apple pies. The kid charged me for only the strips and pies and told me to pull around the corner. While waiting I was wondering why he didnt ask what I wanted to drink. So after close to 14 minutes for that little order he came out, and I asked if the fries where in there. He said he only charged me for the pies and strips, and I can go through drive through again so I can get charged for his mistake. In my option it was closing time and he just wanted to go home, cause by the time I got out of the drive way the sign was out for closing. This isnt the first time Ive had bad service here. McDonalds will be getting my service, and you can get a whole meal for the price I paid tonight.

December 21, 2022

Yeaterday I travelled to Chilliwak with family. We stopped by the A&W to ordered combo meal with root bear with ice cup for dine in. But the lady said no ice cup. Because there is no dishwawher machine so they can not wash the cup. So I said Ok. But while I am drinking root bear with paper cup, other people got ice cup with root bear. I was so upset with the lady. But foods were good as always.

Not a great service experience and probably wont visit this particular a&w for awhile. Dine in. Missed part of our order. When I notified I watched counter staff repeatedly ask kitchen staff to get the order down.
