Food was fresh and delicious, polite and helpful staff. Always get my breakfast from here. Thy never let me down with the taste and freshness of coffee.

Completely depends on when you show up. Drive Thru is open until 12, but theyre serving you food they cooked at 10-11 and just re-heated it. My buddy burger's onions weren't even grilled last time. Just about a dozen raw onions on a small burger. Nice.

October 26, 2024

70% of the time when I go through the drive through they make me park and wait. I’d be fine with this, but they *always* forget about you and I eventually end up going in after like 10-20 minutes of waiting. I’m sorry, but this is fast food. If I wanted to sit down and wait for my food, I would have gone to the Chuck’s down the road. I am not exaggerating in the slightest- this is ridiculous.

Rolled in right as they were closing without realizing, in my opinion they had every right to turn me away but they still chose to serve me (which was so blessed because i just came off a long shift, not eating anything). I unfortunately couldn't see their names but they were very kind and I had easily experienced some of the best customer service from any fast food joint. And it's A&W too so you know the foods gonna smack 🔥

I’m adjusting my previous review where we had a poor experience with the quality of the food. The owner reached out and offered to make it right. When we visited this time the food was delicious and the staff, as always, was polite and courteous.

I have been a regular customer ever since they opened. I have nothing but good words for these friendly hard working souls. Always smiling no matter how busy. Their effort is top notch for this industry. I give them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ten stars and would hire them in a heart beat….! Don’t forget to smile….

2 years I've been going here for coffee. Always fast and super friendly. The staff is awesome. Never have to wait like other big chain fast food joints. I read the reviews saying they don't speak English. I find they speak very well and have never had an issue understanding them even from day one. They even have a group of regulars I see when I get my coffee in the morning. This group of people are great. 10 out of 10 would recommend

We've only passed through the Fergus location a few times but overall it has been clean and staffed by some knowledgeable people. In addition to the cohesive team at this location and quick order fulfillment we appreciate the touch screen order kiosk for express service and the availability of accessible tables. This location has afforded us a good impression of A&W, and we've even tweeted about how impressed we were on our last visit. We also really appreciate and applaud the availability of more plant based items on the menu and the ability to substitute lettuce wraps for buns.

Im vegetarian and absolutsly love their beyond meat burgers at A&W. Ive been to A&W locations all over KW and Guelph, and by far the Fergus location is my favourite. The staff are so incredibly friendly and kind hearted, its not just the food that makes me smile, but the people too. My order is always made perfectly, with all condiments and napkins included. Ordering food from them through Door Dash is also very easy and convenient. I couldnt reccomend this A&W more for when you just want a nice burger, fries and smoothie, very comforting food :))

As a retired couple we often picked up a morning coffee at McDonald s or Tim Horton s .One day we walked by A&W and decided to try something new. The inviting smile and greeting by Brandi and the busy hands in the kitchen of Yashvi and Ruby was our first glimpse of the place we now call our own. The place was spotless, the latte was the best we had tasted, the food was freshly prepared and delivered to our table quickly.After several weeks of the same experience and a dozen other friendly staffers, we knew we had discovered a gem.We know now that is not just the free trade coffee,the tasty food and the cleanliness of the restaurant.What makes the difference are the people behind the counter who greet us every morning with a broad smile and a friendly hello and they respond the same with everyone who walks through the door.It is part of our daily routine and my wife and I look forward to seeing our wonderful second family each day.Mike and Karin

Friendly service. Nice to have food delivered to your table at a Fast Food location. The frosted mugs and reusable containers for fries are also good. Happy to have the Beyond Meat option. But expensive but if you use a coupon you save quite a bit. Vegetarian options: Beyond Meat patties can go on any burger type. Mozza Beyond Meat is tasty.

Fergus A&W happens to be one of the best the Canadian chain has to offer! Friendly professional staff, quite-clean dinning room. Unfortunately, the 56 Buddy Burger my Mum ordered was extraordinarily-disappointing excessively-applied burger sauce soaked the toasted bun, making it quite soggy. That said, my 56 Mama Burger was a solid 4.5/5!
