Extremely slow service, the two working there didn’t completely understand English which made it more difficult to place my order. The food was on par with other A&W restaurants but overall I was not impressed.

Food is great. I would give 5 stars but they asked if I wanted to buy the bag 🤣 So I asked if I'm supposed to carry out 3 drinks, 3 sandwiches, 3 hash browns, pancake meal, ketchup, syrup and napkins without a bag? 🤪🤦‍♂️ You don't need to buy the bag for drive-through

Thieves! Went through the drive though, a co-worker was behind me so I told the sever I wanted to pay for the vehicle behind me. Turns out they charged me and my co-worker.

Good place to eat sometimes. The service is a little delayed due to a small kitchen and a few cooks. For what they are working with, they are doing a good job.

Sometimes the workers dont check the front and you gotta wait a long time to even place an order but this has happened seldom in the past 8 months and its always before 7 am

The people who work here are some of THE MOST UNPROFESSIONAL people Ive ever encountered. Their food is hit or miss. Nobody takes pride in what they do here, and the employees are always rude and dismissive. I get that its a fast food chain, but at least take pride in what ya do no matter where you work.

The little girl that is working alone right now at the 20th street location in pg deserves a raise. She handles this on her own like a pro and she would not take my tip (because she claims she is not allowed).

Love A&W, but there was NO quality control on the onion rings....soggy, greasy, mushy onion rings that were all broken pieces. It only takes about an extra minute or two to cook them from frozen. DONT LET THEM THAW OUT BEFORE YOU DEEP FRY THEM!!!!! Just saying.....

A bit of an a nuance to be served by a trainee who was assisted by a staff member, but I understand that that s the best way to learn. Food was fast, order was correct and staff was polite.

This place was my goto for breakfast. One of the few places that was open at 6 am. Today it wasnt opened at 6. I spent some time on my phone to figure out where to go next. As I was leaving the lights came on.

Hart location. Have gone twice and the staff have given us the wrong order. The staff were rude blaming us for ordering incorrectly, then had the audacity to tell us if we wanted to pay she would make us the items we actually ordered. Never going back to this location again and strongly encourage potential customers to go somewhere else.

They got my order wrong so I called to get it fixed, the next day they said their was no record of a complaint. After calling the other A&W to talk to the manager they decided to give me my refund only for them to screw up that order as well. The people working must have a learning disability or something

Disappointed in all the ladies behind the counter discussing their customers and the wait for the burger was over 10mins.

Stood in line as the only customer in the store. 2 employees stood there and looked at me, neither one even acknowledged my presence. The one with the head set looked at me 4 or 5 times. The other employee came right up to the counter to wash their hands, and didnt say anything. Had to buy a gas station sandwich instead. I would give it zero stars but thats not an option. Dont waste your time here.

★★★
December 22, 2021

The food was good but we had to wait about 15 or 20 minutes in the drive through for it.

December 22, 2021

Decided to give this place another try, was given my hamburger immediatwly after I paid and asked to wait out front. Eventually I was told they forgot to drop my side after Id already had my hamburger and been sitting waiting for my order for 15 minutes. Finally got the rest of my order, and when mentioned to the girl in the window was told at least your rings are fresh only to get home and find the soda machine used to fill my drinks was out of syrup, and a burger thatd now been cold for 15 minutes before I even left the store, and literally drowned in burger sauce. The hart location brings great shame to the franchise. Cant remember the last time I had a half-decent experience here.

What can i say I love a&w, this location was a little slow but made up for it with the product which was thier chicken BLT. Also FYI, I am the rootbeer chugging champ in 2010 at thier location on lakeshore rd in Kelowna BC

I actually love A&W. Theyre a forward thinking fast food company with hormone and antibiotic free beef, and although they dont advertise it (yet) theyre very big on free-range eggs, organic veggies, and non-GMO. They have the beyond meat (meatless) burger available here and its quite delicious. They know what youre talking about when you ask for lettuce instead of a bun, and even have a picture on their menu as a suggestion. I love breakfast sandwiches and used to go to McDonalds for mine all the timr until I realised I cant eat the bread anymore, and they rarely understand when I ask for lettuce as a bun. I always have excellent service at A&W and although I usually end up covered in food because eating between pieces of lettuce is hard, Im happy! The coffee is also not too bad here. Sorry I didnt take any pics!

As a rule this place has friendly service freshly made food & very lil wait time. Yest was not the rule. We waited & waited drive thru didnt, I realized 3 drive thru orders were made after ours but served 1st. A lil annoyed but when we did finally get our food it was obvious that it had been sitting as it was COLD ! As I said tho that is not the rule.

Fries are never fresh Edit 2 months later: Decided to try it again since I live in the neighbourhood. Food was cold and fries were old and stale like always. Why doesnt management pay attention to the reviews? You lost a long time customer. Thats the last time I ever go to an A&W again.

3:30pm on a Saturday. Loved my Teen Burger combo and look at how epic this burger is built. Thats commercial grade stacking. I had to take some pictures of it because it was actually that impressive. It tasted great, and for once I actually liked the fries this time (dont usually like A&W fries, I think theyre dry and paste-y). They werent dry tasting and had good amount of seasoning. I still miss the old fries though. They were the best.
