Drive thru took an eternity. I was astonished with the poor service. Not to mention their sorry ass mobile app. I couldn’t even order for pickup!!!!! The employee insisted that it was my fault the app wasn’t working and would not allow me to redeem my $1 Apple turnover. I gave the employee my phone and to no surprise, they couldn’t order from the mobile app either. Very disappointing experience. I recommend the Thickwood location. This is by far the worst location in the city. Not to mention, my order was completely wrong. Who would’ve thought? I asked for 2 regular buddy burgers and received only one buddy burger with cheese. They tried to say I was in the wrong!! Awful establishment.

I waited 20 minutes for my food which is insane! And last time I went they forgot to give me butter for my order and only gave me syrup and now they forgot the syrup like what kind of customer service are you running here!!!! I am very angry 😡

Worst Experience ever in my life as a courier driver. First of all, we wait have to wait every time 10-15 min minimum. After all, staff is so rude especially that Philippine guy. I don’t know his name, but I just wanna say that to A&W, If they are reading this, please give some manner and training to those kind of people, how to treat customer and courier drivers.

Worst location in the city. I always give them a chance because it’s the closest to home but I have to remind myself to just drive further because this location messes up every time! When you address your concerns they come at you very rude and the manager is the worst. Unapologetic and always in a rush to dismiss the customer. I always special order plain mama burgers with cheese for my kids. Today the mother had bacon in it and I was charged for a teen burger I didn’t order. Not only did they charge me but it also wasn’t in the bag so don’t know how you make that mistake. I go through drive through and always need to pull up to the front because they need more time to prepare my order. They still mess up. They need to bring the management and employees from Thickwood and Franklin locations to train all the staff at this location

Yesterday I ordered a breakfast at this A & W branch and unfortunately neither my credit nor my debit card worked as my wallet was stolen on Saturday and I had to cancel all my bank cards. The amazing server at the counter, Mittalben, paid for my meal out of her own meal plan. You are an amazing person and really made my day. Thank you so much! I hope they make you the employee of the year as you really deserve it. Thank you for the great experience!

Sad experience, traveling for work and stop for some food. Coworker finds a chunk of (McDonald's) straw wrapper in the burger he was eating. As a curiosity, i attempt to call and notify them some food may have contaminants. The lady must've looked at the out of town area code because she just laughed and said it was impossible then hung up... I understand the odd area code so I'll give them that. But health & safety was clearly neglected here..

Always enjoy coming here. This is a very modern A&W restaurant. It is very bright and clean. There is ample parking and easy access for all. The frosty mugs for the root beer keep us coming back for more. The burgers are great and probably the best fast food burger. This particular location is in the heart of the newly developed Eagle Ridge development close to Landmark cinemas.

First time I was here this week. Love the location. Lots of parking spots available including para parking . New and very organized store. Store size is not big but good for the community. There are sink in eating area for adult and kids too. Very neat and clean including washroom. Foods are fresh and delicious. Price is reasonable. Very good customer service. Staffs are very friendly and knowledgeable. Automatic door opener. Highly recommend others to try this store.

I made a mobile order and showed up 15 minutes later to not be greeted. When I asked about it they told me they don t have a mobile order to look at the iPad and see it was there then proceeded to tell me they just received it.. I order I 3 piece chicken strip with sweet potato fries and two kids meal one with cheese burger and one with chicken strip. Waited about 10 minute there witch wasn t a big deal but then got my order got home to see they give me two kids me chicken strip witch my son was very upset because he was excited about his burger and my sweet potato fries were very old and cold I know they were busy but really is upsetting.. the lady was super nice but wish I had warm food and actually what I order ..

Every time I order from skip the order is never correct. Constantly missing items every time. Food is never hot seems like it s old burgers cooked at noon. Funny how the prices of everything keeps going up and service keeps going down.

I am rating the staff that works today. Aug 25 4:30pm. I ordered in their app and waited for 20 minutes for three buddy burger. Its took so long but I appreciate the staff hard work. It was a busy afternoon and theyre under staffed. The owner needs to hire more people.

Went there for a milkshake and burger. Stood there for about 5 minutes. Got my burger but the milkshake machine was down. I just came from the other A&W because I wanted a milkshake and thiers was broken too. Hopefully they are not competing with mcdonads icream machines as I actually like thier milkshakes. Burgers for the last few times have been sooooo Greasy. The bun is just sopping with grease. I am not a fan of wet buns. No it is not the sauce.....

I like this a&w, but the front door sticks open, and at minus 20 and -30 the restaurant immediately drops to near outside temperature freezing the food and coffee, and ruining the experience...this has been complained about for over a month...please fix the door, or lock it and put a sign to go around to the side door..thx!

I ordered 6 combos teen burgers they screwed my whole order completely wrong , despite the long drive from abasand to timbo she wanted to recharged for my order Plus she was extremely rude and definitely shouldnt be the manager

We dont do that here is the response I got from asking to add grilled tomato and onions in my scrambled eggs for my All Canadian Breakfast. Also misses request like extra condiments and such, gotta double check everytime as you cant trust them to be on top of it. Step1. Grill diced tomatoes and onions. Step2. Add scrambled eggs to the grill and mix in the grilled onions and tomatoes. DONE Whats so complex about that? I get breakfast here at least twice a week. Disappointing

I just went through the drive thru for a treat for supper for my kids. We are visiting friends so not home to our own kitchen. I asked for lots of ketchup in the bag please. I double checked at the window. Yes, she said, ketchup in the bag. One packet. 1 in each box. Seems a small thing but if you have kids that must have ketchup to enjoy their fries, its a big deal. And I asked, and double checked. Dont be so stingy. Also, since Im irritated now.... these kids pack boxes. Who likes them, anyone? I hate that you stuff a cold milk in with a warm meal. Waste of cardboard.

Went through a drive through at a fast food restaurant because I didnt have time to go to a sit down restaurant, but when I got to the window and paid I was told to drive through and wait out front. I understand this is so they can keep the line moving but I waited out front more than 10 minutes to get my food. I did not order anything complicated just 2 burgers and one order of fries. When my food finally did come out the girl that brought it tried to give it to every other car they had waiting out front before finally finding us. Then when I got home and opened my burger which comes with bacon had a few tiny broken pieces on it.

Ever time I have ordered from here they forget part of my order. It doesnt matter if I am ordering take out or from Skip. Just now they completely missed one of my kids meal. Even after getting a refund through skip and ordering again A&W forgot the dipping sauce. Im so frustrated and I will never eat at this location again. Too many mistakes for far too long. These problems started way before Covid, if I could give 0 stars I would.

Went there the other day and noticed that the staff s need to be trained more. Supervisors also need to be a little bit more patient with their staff (I could tell that the lady who was I think is the supervisor was getting a little bit annoyed with the staff that was taking order when he asked for help.) Everyone was nice and polite however they need to know more about the POS and the menu. I m pretty sure not everyone there s like that. More power to the business
