Good deal on Mama burgers.

The staffs were friendly. But this is the only A&W in the neighborhood which charges an extra $0.49 for exchanging the chicken strips’ BBQ sauce to the sweet and sour sauce.

I heard this place is called the McDonald's of Canada, so I came to try it out. I had their bacon and egg muffin and found it to be very delicious—better than McDonald's and well-presented in shape. I'm not sure if this location has exceptional quality control or if all their muffins are this good. I recommend anyone wanting to experience Canadian fast food to visit an A&W.

They made me wait in the parking lot 5 minutes for 2 chicken wraps. I asked for extra sauce. There was hardly any sauce at all. Really bad service. Step up a&w!!

The staff at the A&W Desjardins is simply amazing. They are very friendly and have a smile on their face, a pleasure to interact with.

Ordered the Mega crispy Nasville. Very disappointed with dressings. Little bit of sauce and 2 pieces of pickle cut 1/4 inch thick. No lettuce, tomato quite underdressed. Dan E

They used to be pretty alright, Food is OK, but their service is pretty bad now. You end up standing around until they decide to give you their attention. Also seemed like they were always in a hurry, and they threw ketchup packets on my tray from behind the counter instead of just placing it like a normal person would. Come on man, I used to work Food Service too, nobody's forcing you to be there if you don't want to be there.

2024 service is a lot faster & friendlier on some days, other days staff seem bored, indifferent & even hurtful & confrontational, & the breakfast sandwich was dry, overcooked & I had to ask for ketchup, or I probably wouldn’t have got any, IMO. They don’t seem to wear hairnets in the kitchen. Coupons work and they were being put on trays until the clerk who said the manager decided no more coupons for you. So they make you feel like a bum & I personally feel stigmatizing people before their coffee is unethical & disrespectful of a person’s time. I usually avoid places where staff seem to be allowed to treat people differently/possibly profiling them based on what they assume is their social-economic status, which often impacts quality of meal & atmosphere & amount of time wasted there. Experience is not consistent to say the least. When the staff who are serving are friendly and polite the food they are serving seems to be also prepared with more care & is hotter and not overcooked & service is faster & less time guzzling. When the staff seem bored & indifferent the food seems to be cooked that way too, IMO, then the food with or without a coupon isn’t worth the wait, hassle & cost, IMO. Then after that awful early morning experience I got an email from A&W for a free rootbeer as if a person is going to go back to more hassles & insults & possibly warm rootbeer & dry, overcooked & cold food, IMO. Usually most coupon books have one or 2 coupons you use & then you throw out the rest, which I did. A waste of postage when you think about how many coupon books are probably in recycling bins everywhere when you remember that fast food is not as good when cold, and soggy. When I had the teen burger & onion rings, the burger was good but the onion rings weren’t crispy & tasted mushy & looked different than those in menu picture, IMO. A&W is more expensive than some of the other fast food places in general but the food is expected to be better & some days it is & other days it isn’t. I threw out my coupons & decided to not go back to this A&W location. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are expecting a good, quality A&W experience consistently. You have to just trust they are washing their hands more consistently but after about an hour after eating there my stomach felt queasy, IMO. Not much fun. 2019 Service was so slow that you felt like you were being ignored.

They dont wash their hands, rub on their sweater, almost put their finger in their ass and then make food then no glove, nothing at all unsanitary at the end, I wouldnt eat it even if I paid for it, better throw it away than get sick for its birds of prey ...

We ordered 2 trios of chubby chicken and the hard chicken that was too compressed and its been 2 times that I eat it on the Longeuil side and very good tender chicken at the Desjardins complex thats hard to chew This is why I wont go back there again

Jai récemment visité ce restaurant et malheureusement, mon expérience na pas été à la hauteur de mes attentes. Lun des employés ma parlé avec méchanceté, ce qui a vraiment gâché mon expérience. Jespère sincèrement que le restaurant prendra des mesures pour améliorer le comportement de son personnel et offrir une meilleure expérience aux clients.

I discovered this chain in Canada, for me a much higher quality than the essential Mac Do. Very fresh ingredients, cooked onions, a nice salad leaf and not porridge... A real treat whether for me in the meat version or my daughter in the vegetarian version. Choice of classic fries, sweet potato fries or poutine as a side dish Vegetarian options: An excellent vegetable steak that my daughter had on the menu, she really liked it
