Lovely service bur food was bland and thrown together with no concern for quality. Fries unsalted, onion rings unseasoned and crumbling apart. Bacon on burgers very small and partially uncooked. Disappointing for A&W standards.

December 1, 2023

60.00 order asked for no cheese no mayo for allergy. Put it on all 4 burgers, didn't answer the phone after multiple calls.

August 1, 2023

Last year we spent an hour in the drive through and I emailed them but they didn’t care. Today we tried them again and went in the store and ordered in French. They got our order wrong 3 times and we left only to find that it was still wrong. We said only pickles and ketchup on the kids burger so they gave us a bun and no burger! Avoid at all costs

I thought it took them 20 minutes to make my burger but it actually took them 20 minutes to hand me my burger. It was room temperature when I got it and my glass mug for my root beer was thawed. I wanted to send it back but my blood sugar was too low for me to wait another 20+ minutes for warm food. This location is probably the worst I've been to. It's also one of the cleanest so at least they have that going for them.

★★

Ordered on Doordash to the hotel 3 minutes away. Onion rings were burned and the burger was ice cold. I know A&W can be hit or miss depending on the location, but this is some of the worst I've had.

The staff are the best to make you feel like you're invisible! Been standing at the cashier for a big 5 minutes and not a single person did at least acknowledge that I was there waiting to give my order... And my dad and me were the only customer inside! Of the 3 stars 2 are for the burgers!

April 30, 2022

Terrible! Change your hours of operation on Google not to indicate that you open at 7am. Showed up at 7:53 and found the door locked with two staff members visible inside in the kitchen. As there was no sign anywhere indicating hours of operation (in 2022???). I knocked on the door, then a window as well as the drive thru window to find out if they were opening in just over 5 minutes. Nobody raised their heads. Got in my car, drove through the driv thru to see if that would work. The screen was all broken with no for of call button. They deserve to go out of business ASAP.

Wrong bread, smaller meatballs than usual, we were given paper cups while we ate there (where are the bucks Mr AetW?). No sparkling water, no little spices, very disappointing. I was hungry for a really good burger, alas, Im still hungry. They call it A&W, but I dont see any Ws, just Ls.

15 minutes waiting in line to order, and the line only moved one customer forward. We left.

July 23, 2024

I am really disappointed with the service. We waited 20 minutes (it was 6:30 a.m. and there was NO rush) before one of the employees even gave us a look... Taking the order was excruciating, the employee whispered and raised his voice if we didnt understand not. My friend paid for her order with a $20 bill and did not receive the change because the employee had thrown away her bill. (Knowing that no one had asked for it and that she was the only one who didnt get it) We then waited another 15 minutes before getting our order even though the restaurant was almost empty. Our burgers were broken down and soaked in sauce. My friends poutine had something hard that hurt her mouth when she took a bite. It was on the evening of Wednesday June 26, 2024. In short, unpleasant, long service and a moderately good meal...

I started by going to the bathroom to wash my hands and there was no soap left in the womens room in both dispensers. There was a non-functional one in the toilet men and the other dropped a soap that looked more like water because it was so liquid. It was 6:45 p.m. and supposedly he was no longer giving frozen bucks at that time.. 4 customers later they had some. The food was ok, it tasted like A&W. Teen, puck, fries and buddy buger

Thanks to the 2 guys who closed the restaurant Sunday evening July 21!!! They took our order at 9:58 just before closing! We really thought it would be closed!! By saying thank you for that, they responded to us but thats normal, it makes us happy, its our job! Wow these guys...thumbs up 5 stars for you guys!

June 23, 2024

Its been several times that Im alone at the drive-thru the time before I get a very long response and even if Im alone they ask me to go further so as not to exceed their time limit at the drive-thru on their counter

NULL!!! Even out of rush they get the orders wrong: Im missing the burger... And he doesnt answer the phone afterwards. Just disappointing. I strongly advise against it. I theorize the idea that since it was towards the end of service he kept it for them

Well, after a visit a few months ago and it was extremely disappointing. Here I am back and thats it. I asked for 1 mozzarella, 1 slice instead of fries and 1 drink. The mozzarella was not hot, the bacon barely got on the plate, I had to remove it so much that it was almost raw, and the onion ring was charred like last time and I would say worse than last time, I didnt eat it and it was 12:06 p.m. in the customers room, the last time it was around 2:30 p.m. A&W definitely disappointed me once again, when will a good hot meal be carefully prepared? The restaurant was not very clean, as was the toilet room. The light at the top of the sink did not work. Why elsewhere in Quebec it is good, well prepared and above all hot. I want to eat at A&W, I love it, I love it, I want the same thing here in Rivière-du-Loup. The last visit a take-out order that I ordered in the restaurant and this time I ate there fortunately because if I would have eaten at home 5 minutes by car I would still have eaten cold. Oh yes, the cashier, the same as last time, was smiling and kind, fortunately!

Cleanliness of the restaurant leaves nothing to be desired.. With my regal order for children I did not get their (dessert) apple slice and granola bar.. I go to see the cashier to check everything and she tells me that there is no dessert included with the meal box. In short, very disappointed with this visit

Very bland liquor and its the same all the time.

Service and cleanliness leaves something to be desired. She had forgotten the bacon in the Mama Burger, the young man told her and she took some bacon and dabbed it in her hand and added it to the Burger...Ordinary true!

December 23, 2023

Hygiene leaves much to be desired. Dirty restaurant room, clean crockery carts are dirty, unpleasant smell, smoke in the restaurant. The owners are present but dont care at all about the state of their restaurant.

The food was cold as was the coffee. No structure! The attendants dont seem to know what to do and are going around in circles. Not recommended! Part of our meal ended up in the trash.

Poor quality food and sometimes not available on the menu like sweet potato fries. The restaurant is dirty and poorly maintained. Flies circle around us when we eat there!

Very disappointed. The root beer was flat, the employees were very stupid with the customers and each other, the cleanliness leaves something to be desired, the buddy burger patty was so small that it felt like we were eating bread with mustard, old reheated fries, lukewarm burger and very bland meat.
