I ordered chicken strips and they were not fresh, very dry. Wanted to get a refund but I was on my lunch break and didn’t have time to go back. Very disappointed.

Stand in line only to have others that haven't been standing in line served before me, so needless to say, they won't be getting my money. My friend who managed to order said the food was sub par. We won't be returning to this location.

I was served by Kristel and she is the epitome of the best ever service crew i have ever met. Asked her about caloric content and to my biggest surprise she looked it up gleefully! Wow! O was blown away by her amazing service!

Best A&W I’ve experienced. Last two times we went through for a teen burger we were so impressed with how fresh everything was. Mound of lettuce with great taste. Keep up the great work!

This USED to be a good A&W, now I am finding that the beef is tasteless or a little off. Theyre slipping old and cold onion rings in with the fresh ones. Not to mention that lunch for two was $25, they are also watering their root beer. We wont be back.

I like my burger wrapped in lettuce and A&W does it right. They are very accommodating with special requests. With mail coupons, cant beat the price for this quality.

Went to the drive-thru ordered 2 classic breakfasts then was told to park out front. Waited a good long 20 minutes so I then proceeded into the restaurant to find out what was going on! Once inside I asked when I would be getting my order and they had no clue what I was talking about. So another 5 minutes passed before I was able to finally get my order. Other customers were also disappointed in how long their orders took. Go to the original location and you will find good service there

December 21, 2023

Ordered breakfast via skip the dishes. When my order arrived it was missing two of the hash browns I ordered. I called to let them know. Because of the huge language barrier the manager couldn t understand what I was telling her. She insisted that the two extra hash browns I ordered were put in the bag and pretty much called me a liar. The part she couldn t understand is that it was the two has browns that were supposed to come with the order that were missing. Didn t enjoy being treated like a liar because she couldn t understand what I was saying. She then said she would send them over as I only live two blocks away. Obviously they never came but was still charged for them. Absolutely horrible customer service and the language barrier is massive. Never again.

If I could give zero stars I would. Went through the drive thru and ordered 2 coffees and a small white milk. Waited 15 minutes before even getting to the window (2 vehicles in front of us). When we got to the window I asked how long it would be for our coffees and they said it would be another 5 minutes. We left without waiting. How it takes 20 minutes to pour two coffees and grab a carton of milk from the fridge is beyond me.

PROS: -Friendly and efficient service -Fresh food. -Best onion rings in town -All packaging is recyclable.... No plastic CONS: -Bathroom taps are to close to the back end of the sink. (Shared facility with gas station). Hard to wash hands without making a mess. OVERALL IMPRESSION -I will be back for more.

The service at this A & W was phenomenal! My boyfriend and I came from Calgary to pick something up and we hit up this place on our way out. We asked them in drive thru whether there were coupons, upon which I discovered the 2 mozza s for $9.99 online. Harpeeet kindly offered us a coupon booklet at the window and we discovered 2 mozza combos for $13.99, she updated our order and made us fresh fries too! Thank you so much

December 21, 2021

Slow service, drive thru took forever, didn t know the order when we arrived at the window so it wasn t ready, cold burgers and $4+ for a bag of five cold onion rings. Terrible! Won t be returning.

This is mine and my wife s favourite A&W! Go on a sunny day as the windows face east and you get the sunlight pouring in through the windows as the sun rises. Very clean seating area (even before Covid) and extremely friendly and helpful staff! Takeout and drive-thru is sometimes slower but the dine-in experience for breakfast makes it feel like an upscale restaurant experience! Highly recommend! Less busy than the other Cochrane location!

Wost A&W Ive ever been to! My visit started by standing at the front counter waiting for someone to take my order, while three employees aimlessly look around, waited about 5min before I was greeted and my order was taken. After another 5min had passed, I received my order. Just to be disappointed AGAIN, and have my eggs undercooked! SERIOUSLY how do you mess up fast food! The only thing nice about this place is that its new, after that gets old, its another hole in the wall. FAIL
