Horrible always get the orders wrong and then they still make you move over every single time even though there's Noone behind the vehicle. It's ridiculous

Absolutely delicious food 😋. My go-to after work. Spicy and juicy! 🥰. Service is great, and the staff is very pleasant even with the work they do. Well done. They deserve encouragement for their hard work.

I happened to order three spicy habanero chicken burger. It tested horrible, and when I called the Fort St John store, Anna told me that I have to ordered fresh one. What does this mean? If we don't say fresh one then they can serve us non-standard chicken patties?

I frequently stop by this A&W for breakfast, and their Real Canadian Breakfast is a must try. The staff is very friendly, and the place is always clean. Every time I drive to Fort St. John, I make it a point to stop here for breakfast. Great job, team!

Just ordered onion rings for a ridiculous price I’m sure. At least I can use them again as I couldn’t chew through them, and I can use the rest as chew toys for a pitbull, wheel chocks for my semi, weapons for predators. Thanks a and dub 10/10

Yesterday I visited the restaurant and had a great experience. The atmosphere was welcoming and clean, with a calm and classic diner feel. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service. The food was delicious, especially the signature burgers and crispy fries, and the famous root beer was perfect. Overall, the neatness, friendly staff, and tasty food made for an enjoyable visit. Highly recommended!

July 19, 2023

Worst A&W ive ever been to, nothing tastes normal. Burger buns are extremely dry, and the patties taste like cheap walmart patties. Asked for a plain momma burger with just cheese and ketchup, but apperently they miss out on the ketchup part. The lettuce on my mozza burger was rotten as well

It had mold on the bottom of the burger . I will be calling them also to give a complaint. Parking: Fort St John, BC

Got the classic breakfast 2 eggs over easy, bacon, toast and hashbrown. I super-sized it with a coffee and jam for the toast. The eggs were disgustingly runny and I dont mean the yolk I mean like he literally put them on for like 30 seconds judging by the wait time. Gross, the bacon was cold and over crispy. I ate the toast and jam and I have to admit the coffee was amazing. I love AnW Coffee it tastes like the old McDonalds coffee from back in the day. Go for the coffee but stay away from the classic breakfast, stick to the bacon and Eggers. Kim Lauzon AKA Lauzy

The restaurant is fine, nothing special, nothing wrong. Service was typical. But we tried the new frozen root beet, which is nothing more than an overpriced slurpee, and not as good. Very disappointed.

I went through the drive-through and they asked me to park didn t ask me if I wanted any jam or ketchup didn t even put any in the bag. I declined politely and they were rude even after I told the lady I m uncomfortable parking there, where they were pointing at. end to top it off they also burnt my food. I didn t order a burger at five in the morning. I ordered breakfast at 10:30 so I don t understand why I had to park for any reason especially when I said no thank you.

Completely messed up my order the only thing they got right was the fries, tried calling to complain and their phones work as good as the ordering box... Not at all you cant hear a word they are saying

December 22, 2023

Sadly seems to have gone downhill in the last year. Last couple of times I have gone the service seems completely indifferent to everyone, and the food has been literally cold and needing to be heated right from the window. Dont think I will be rushing back to this one any time soon.

December 22, 2023

My sister ordered a plain simple chicken blt sandwich without Sesame seed bun but the lady came forward sounding rude and mean about asking for one without Sesame seed bun because she is allergic to seeds, She have made it a big problem for no reason

At the Ft.St.John restaurant across from the Boston Pizza they allow people in who are anti-maskers and refuse to wear masks. Management seems ok with it?

December 22, 2021

A&W seems to have forgotten that proof of vaccination or denial of service to people with mask exemptions is discrimination. As a fast food chain, you dont decide who gets human rights or not. Its 2021, not 1865.

Absolutely outstanding, very high class dining!! This is THE place to go for that special lady. BELIEVE ME, whether it be an Anniversary, a first date or Valentines day this is where you take that special girl. You wont regret it. Only drawback though is the short wine list, very limited selection. Just make sure your date brings a purse or bag big enough to get both your mugs into when leaving. It can be embarrassing if your mug slip out of your short and smashes on the floor as you are walking out the door. Wont make that mistake again.

They all seem depressed and the one that served us seemed angry when customers came in.Customer relations is what makes a great business and a great impression and these girls can at least smile and be happy then maybe its time for them to find a different line of work I will return because I like the food.

Normally the food is amazing, they ALWAYS listened to what i asked for and my meal was perfect until this morning. Im not sure if manager was not there or not but pretty disappointed. Asked for crispy bacon, did not get crispy, instead my scrambled eggs were over cooked and asked for blueberry jam for toast, got no jam at all, and to make things worse on top of all that they asked me to pull to the side which normally they do, for a min or two but this time I sat there for at least 5 minutes. This was my go to place in mornings because food and service was always above n beyond excellent always got what i asked for until today!! Will try again but if same issue ill find else where to go. I have appointment to go to so no time to go back and ask them to fix my order so u have to suck it up and eat it because im starved.
