When I visited a few days ago with my friend, they were really friendly and polite! The interior was amazing, and the fries were tasty!

October 21, 2024

I work nights and this place is open 24 hours for the drive-through and every time I go it’s absolute garbage.I got two buddy burgers and a poutine a few weeks ago and the buddy burgers were so greasy that the buns were completely soggy within the four minutes it takes me to get home, the poutine was made like they had little to no fries left and they put 2 or 3 portions of cheese and a whack ton of gravy to make up the difference. I figured it was a fluke but tonight I got two mozza burgers And the patties were actually cold, the mozza cheese was still cold like it was pulled out of the fridge. After working at A&W for five years previously, I’m well aware that the patties have to be heated up and the mozza cheese has to be melted before you are allowed to serve the burgers. Also, there’s timers for expired food, which I am sure every time I go there my food has exceeded. Very very disappointed. Don’t waste your time. Go to the one in Eagle Ridge. It’s way better. The people that work nights at this one don’t know what they’re doing.

I recently tried “The Masala Burger” at A&W, , and it exceeded my expectations! The patty was well-seasoned with bold, aromatic spices that gave it a unique and flavorful twist. A tasty and best option for veggie burger lovers!”

October 10, 2024

Waited 15 minutes walked out. 2 staff in kitchen and no desire to serve folks in the dining room, only drive thru. Went across the street to McDonalds. Packed with people and staff.

June 2, 2024

Not a very friendly place. Waiting for bus to Work. Was running behind, no time to stop at Mc Donald's . Walked across the street to A & W at drive-thru to request a large coffee. The girl refused me because I had no vehicle. I said, McDonald's WILL, but she just kept saying the same thing. I Will speak to the manager tonight after Work. They lost My business

November 26, 2023

Very slow only 3 people were working and one was a trainee. Took over 20 minutes to get food. Drink machine was broken, so no refills. Smelly homeless man loitering in booth behind me who smelled like piss... Great thing to smell when trying to eat your burger.

A&W is the spot for burgers. Mcds and burger King can't come close to the level of quality and service compared to A&W. Customer service is great at this location and food was quick !

Please update the hours on google to include when you close the inside hours, sincerely a customer who took off their lunch early to get there before close and y all closed early. I don t have a car so asking me to order at the drive tru was a negative experience with the sketchy ppl around. Good food when I can get it. Please update hours so others don t waste their time like me, thanks.

December 22, 2023

Terrible service, manager doesnt have control over anything. The staff that took our order was completely incompetent, shouldnt even be at the counter. Never put the top on one of the drinks and it exploded. Terrible service and employees dont care. Will never go back

December 22, 2023

Terrible experience watched them hand a gentleman a pop without the lid being sealed it EXPLODED as soon as the gentleman took his drink and the employees simply shrugged it off. The line of then three people took the child at the register ten minutes to serve when I got to the register I had to repeat my order three times??? When I m face to face with you??? Terrible experience I just walked out don t waste your time.

Attempted to eat in but the doors were locked and no one was in the store front at 5:30pm. The drive-thru was opened so we used that. I asked the worker why the doors were locked so early, her response was too many druggies around, if you knocked we would have let you in . No sweet and sour sauce and I m pretty sure I was over charged for some momma burgers. If you want A&W, do yourself a favour and head to an uptown location. Kid-friendliness: Well the doors were locked at 5:30pm for what they said was too many druggies So I would say it s not kid friendly at all.

Never eating here again not only was my chicken wraps mold tasting but the onions in my boyfriend s burger were so powerful it wasn t enjoyable, also to pay 6.60 for a poutine and it being half the box full was a horrible experience by far and the person at the window when asked what the total was shut the window in our face and didn t answer.

Far too expensive!

December 22, 2021

We ordered at drive thru around 11am. We wait for so long for our orders. We ordered 4 canadian breakfast,4 coffee,burger and yam fries. Sadly when they handout our food its already cold. The butter for the pancake they put on the top of the egg. And 2 coffee is missing. We are really disappointed. The guy who served the food is very polite and good attitude. But the staff who taking an order in the drive thru,she need to clear and repeat all the orders. Just make it sure everything is right and also the lady in the window we are taking with her but she not responding and keep ignoring us. All my concern here they should know how to handle customer service not being rude. They should enjoy the job that they have. Because a lot of people doesnt have job but for them they are lucky to have a job. Owner should keep on eyes with the staff.

Got the double teen burger, onion rings and a water. It was excellent. So many onion rings I couldnt finish them all. The burger was hot and flavorful. This A & W location is nice because of all the seating options. Lots of booths too, and a lot of light gets in from the windows. The only other option in downtown Fort McMurray is the A & W in the Peter Pond mall, which isnt bad either, but this location has the real authentic experience. Also, you can see vintage cash registers etc. under glass by the door when you walk in.
