Have been there a couple of times for having that masala veggie burger, I usually come at night and one of your employees “Ahmad”, like he makes that masala veggie the best burger in the worlddd.. 10/10 honestly. Service is amazing and fast tbh.
Ahmad, Aditya and the entire night staff are extremely friendly and hard working. As a frontline worker at SHN it is nice to know that I can get a warm meal and great service.
we had to go back inside cuz they gave us the wrong order at the drive thru. they were nice about it and gave us the correct one right away. but when we got home, i realized they gave us a cup of steamed milk instead of a chai latte. the workers were nice, our orders unfortunately was a mess.
Just received my order from Uber eats ! Ordered raffle buddy burger and 3 chicken tender combo . Missing jalepino ranch dip for my tenders , one of 3 tenders was hard rock like a chip , I couldn’t even break it in half . My raffle buddy burger came with onion which I’m allergic to , on Uber eats ingredients onion wasn’t listen as a toping for this specific burger . I’m very disappointed and would never order from this location again! Please order from other locations and save ur money
I recently visited the A&W restaurant, and I had a fantastic experience. The staff were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Their positive attitudes were infectious, making the atmosphere warm and inviting. The service was swift, and the food was delicious, just as you'd expect from A&W. It was clear that everyone working there takes pride in their job and enjoys serving their customers. Highly recommend this location for both its great food and outstanding customer service!
**A&W Review** I recently visited A&W and had a fantastic dining experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly polite and efficient, making sure that every customer felt welcome. The menu offers a great variety of options, and I decided to try the classic Teen Burger. It was delicious – the beef patty was perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful, complemented by fresh lettuce, tomato, and a special sauce that added just the right amount of tanginess. The combination of ingredients was spot on, making each bite a delight. What truly stood out was the quality of the ingredients. A&W prides itself on using hormone-free beef, and it certainly makes a difference in taste. The root beer, served in a frosted mug, was the perfect accompaniment – refreshing and satisfying with its signature rich and creamy flavor. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, with a pleasant ambiance that made for a comfortable dining experience. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a place to relax with family and friends, A&W is a great choice. Overall, A&W exceeded my expectations with its excellent food quality, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend giving it a try!
A&W is a good choice for a quick and tasty meal! The burgers here are delicious, with juicy patties and fresh toppings. I tried the Teen Burger, which comes with a perfect combination of bacon, cheese, and their special sauce. The onion rings were crispy and well-seasoned. The service was fast and friendly. The staff were polite and seemed genuinely happy to be there, which made the experience pleasant. My order was prepared quickly and accurately, even during the busy lunch rush.
They reopened and the space to dine in made them better with new chairs and tables. They have this free teen burger today only for the first 100 customers with coupon. This promotion is for their reopening. Got one for my daughter. TY! Glad they are back, few steps from home. Whenever we are craving for burger or sweet potato fries after work, I can always just drop by.
It was a pleasant experience.
Ahmad was fantastic. He s customer service was 10 out of 10. This is my favourite A&W
Burger
Slow service
Siraaaaaa galbaaat
Nice meal and fair price, although they never provided the chilli spice that I requested.
A Lettuce wrapped burger is an amazing option for celiac people. My go to fast food spot. Mc Donalds, Wendys, Burger King cannot compare
Went for early morning breakfast at 5 am. It was opened and good food.
I ordered chubby chicken burger combo. The chicken was not chubby so I was disappointed and the onion rings were very salty.......
Good location but due to it being in a gas station its a little chaotic to get in and out of.
Missed this place when it was closed. Drive-thru is always quick, and they give out coupons for the next visit that you may normally receive in the mail. Food is top quality.
Just your average gas station
I went there and was about to order hashbrown and free fries on the mobile app and was ready to pay for bun and toppings inside the store to make the hashbrown burger. But the staff said that we can t do that!!!! I mean I don t get it you re getting paid for everything why can t you do that??? I also work in A&W and we do anything to make our customers satisfied .. disgusting experience ever!!!!!
Good service and food. Polite staff.
Good place. Good food.
Food was okay but the service was awesome.
We got a good customer service experience at this A&W location. Damini was very fast and efficient with positive attitude. Food
The workers attitudes are horrible and I dont trust them with my food. Tables are always dirty. You always have to ask them to refill things. It takes 10 minutes from someone to come from the back. Never eating here again(because I dont like dirt burgers and spit toppings) BACK HERE IN 2024....NOTHING HAS CHANGED
Amazing food and beverages
Food was good but staff rude & inattentive. Talking in the back with no one in the drive through. Took so long to even acknowledge I was there.
I did not like the whistle dog
The worst A & W on planet Earth! Staff cant provide you with even the simplest order in less than 15 minutes. And the coffee is undrinkable. Give me McDs any day!
Excellent customer service from all staff! Always welcome customer with a warm smile Very fast service with accuracy Very clean atmosphere Food : 5/5 |
Order 1 breakfast waiting 20 mins
Enjoyed the food and ambience
I recently visited the newly renovated A&W and loved it! The Buddy Burger and poutine were delicious, and the service was quick and friendly. The expanded dining space made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
Good Food and excellent staff service.
The place is pretty good and service is good. Employees are also pretty sweet.
Im so glad that this shop is now reopened! The service is very good, the staff is hospitable, and the food is delicious. Highly recommend!
Great customer service

I visited this this location very fast service I tried the chubby chicken burger it was very crispy and fresh will be coming back
Kind workers!
Excessive wait time noone care
This is the good place ever i found. The service is too good and very fast. Its good for people like us who are tired of work and find some space to relax and such beautiful employee who treats well. Thanks. Great Job.
Tried there Nashville hot chicken burger Vegetarian options: Beyond meat burger and paneer burger Food : 4/5 |
Poor staff. Please change ur staffs. Take it as an advice. No one follows instructions. They are bringing the A&W s business and reputation down..
Nice break fast
Love the A and W root beer
Slowest experience of my life, terrible prices and small portions. Daylight robbery
Lookin bless up in there. Why are all these workers not of canadian decent.
They got mine and my friends orders wrong consistently
They got the order wrong for two of our items. Quite disappointing
Fries were bland. Service was slow. Burger was meh.
I posted in the app that I love the food but wish they had the 2 pie deals like other fast foods and she brought me out a free pie at the Sametime as my order its the little things like this that keeps me coming back - THANK YOU
Absolutely unprofessional, ordered delivery from this location and the order came with nothing related to the instruction, burger came with a piece of chicken and bread, fries were not fresh and the stone made hash brown I guess, avoid ordering delivery from this location, may be it s better with dine in. I don t remember A&W with this awful quality, this one was a surprise! They should retrain their employees in this location.
This location is actually closed but the signs are all still up.
Its at a gas station so atmosphere is not the greatest. Busy part of town with Centennial College and UofT Scarborough nearby. Not sure why such negative reviews have floated to the top. Their product is very good and I have never had a problem with the food or service. Food
Rude staff, poor food safety standards, unhygienic! Had to ask for ice at the counter because the soda machine was out of ice and the incoherent clerk insisted that it was not. He insisted that I was wrong and decided to walk out from behind the counter to verify that I was telling the truth by testing the machine himself (as if I did not know how to use an ice machine and pour myself a drink). When he verified that the machine was empty, he finally agreed to give me some ice but unfortunately the ice scoop was FILTHY! He slammed the cup on the counter but I decided to skip the ice and asked for a different cup but the clerk said he cannot give me a different cup because I paid for the one he gave me and the scoop just had some soda on it. The soda on the scoop however was dry indicating that the scoop had not been cleaned in a while. I wish I could hire the guy just to tell him hes worthless and FIRE him! They would not provide a refund so I took the food and left it outside as I could not trust that I was getting my meal without spit from the filthy clerk and his manager who asked me what I was going to do about it and that I should call the police. If A&W actually monitors these reviews, please investigate this location Regards, One loyal but seriously infuriated customer.
Is better than other W one but everyone knows is not a great jank Food , anyways if you are hungry and you dont have that much money (like me) A&W is for you
The beef burgers are amazing also the chicken and the fries and onion rings, really great tasting burgers and service, highly recommended
Step 1: Recieve an order from Uber Eats Step 2: READ IT CAREFULLY Step 3: Put the items I paid for in a bag and THEN seal the bag Sounds easy, right? To a fully developed adult, it should be. If you work here, the 2nd step is likely too difficult for you. Apparently nobody here can be bothered to fully read an order before haphazardly throwing it in a bag and calling it a day before they go eat a handful of paint chips in the backroom. You have eyeballs. Use them to obtain crucial information from the receipt, and then use that information to decide what to put in the bag. This is so simple a child could do it, and somehow this unbelievably basic skillset eludes every employee at this location. Sandwich was good.
Everything was good. Burger buns were slightly stale hence 3 stars instead 5
It was really good but somewhat expensive i would say as a student.
Cant get the orders right
Always the quality one would expect from an A&W; REGARDLESS of being located inside a gas station at this location. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access
Small wrap
Great pleasant atmosphere and great food...
Well I dont really normally give bad reviews but A&W and Elsmere is its terrible they gave me the heel of the lettuce in my sandwich it was gross never go there again
Too expensive
Nice service, I miss Canada :)
Onion rings are very salty and taste off compared to other locations..
Veggie burgers are 100%
Love a&w
So disappointed and disgusted. I ve been going to this one for years and tdy was just terrible. Got UNCOOKED CHICKEN. Ordered a Chubby chicken burger and both my sister and I got it. She took a few bites but I didn t hopefully she ll be fine but seriously disappointing, and on top of that the lady worker tried to gaslight us saying oh it will get harder NO, and also they tried to blamed it on the manufacture, I m pretty sure the timer is what cooks the food not the manufacturer. I asked for FRESH food not RAW food. NEVER eating from A&W again and it unfortunate bc I USED to love it.
Worst service ever. I just asked him for a cup of water and he wanted 30 cents. Is that your rule A&W? You are charging only black customers or white folk too?
I ordered Uber Eats delivery burger combo on May 15 at midnight after a tiresome shift , Uber Driver delivered safely , but once I opened the package, this was what I found They rubbed the burger with a disgusting salad, I was hungry but I couldnt eat it and so disappointed whoever made it it is disgraceful and full of hate.
Place did not smell good, reccomending not to go here for food, maybe cleaning should be a priority?
Open late
I went drive thru because it smelled so good I was pumping my tire and I could resist the smell. I got a chicken buddy burger made fresh with extra pickles it was so delicious and they brought it out to me
Food is typical a&w
I swear these people don t read .I ordered a teen burger on uber eats with everything except mustard and onions & they the two things I did not ask for on my burger & did not put anything else. Horrible service, you guys should pay attention.
Same as any other a&w
Burgers wore good meet taates good. Overall for fast food is good. Kid-friendliness: Ki Food : 5/5 |
They sell cold food just to clear the stock happened multiple times. There night staff sells the cold food.
I havent tried many items here. But only one item that I feel to eat always is sweet potato fries.
Good
Nice
Food was great. Clerk got order wrong twice (only customer).
Theres been many times that my order hasnt been fulfilled, alot of the orders I do is through skip the dishes and theres been many times where there was only 1 peice of bacon on my burger when it should have 2 especially if Im paying for an add on I recently ordered 2 chicken wraps that was supposed to have bacon but neither one of them did Ive already complained to skip the dishes twice but now I wanna leave my review personally cause Ive had one too many bad experiences with this location
Way to long just to mess the whole order up. Attitude the whole way. Not coming back to this location
Waited 12 minutes at drive thru window to receive uncooked chicken strip and unmelted cheese on a cold mozza burger
Nice place, good service.
pretty good customer service
Worst customer service ever Really unhygienic I saw people handling food without gloves
Fast friendly service
I ordered a coffee and asked for napkins. They only had about two tablespoons of coffee and one tablespoon of milk left in the machine (this location is self-serve. ) They offered to make me a new pot of coffee but since I was in a hurry I told them that Id be happy to just fill the remainder of my cup up with milk. After giving me seven shots of what I assume to be milk I left and began drinking my coffee only to realize that it had been seven shots of cream instead of milk. Also they were out of napkins, tell me why which was honestly the main reason I had come in the first place. The employees were at least friendly and polite
Under new owner. Food portions too small. No fried chicken on top of Chinese dishes as before, less vegs. Black pudding dry n awful taste. Overpriced. Service slow not enough servers. Took family there to a Sunday event, disappointed.
Brought down to 1 star, onlybecause A&W is normaly a great restaurant, but most the time I get the worse service at this location. Ive had the staff get confrontatinonal with me several times to the point that I cant come here again out of self respect. I know Im going to wait and get lousy service here, so is my own fault for even going there again. I give-up on this location, your not supposed to feel uptight and disrespected when you go out to grab a bite anywhere.
Ordered just 2 burgers... Had to wait almost 20 mins and still in my car now... People are laughing and giggling inside... Unbelievable!! Work on this store A&W! Already made a big line queue of cars..
Good
N\a
Great service
Location is misleading due to it saying drive thru but you can eat inside at the tables in the corner store.
Love it
Can honestly say the staff were really nice, but somethings up here. I had the worst case of food poisoning Ive ever had because of this location. Bought from here 2 weeks ago and Im still trying to recover from it. Like another review said about soggy onion rings, my girlfriend and I had French fries that were dense, soggy and didnt taste normal like other A&W locations. The burgers also did not taste right either. Both of us got sick. Honestly, avoid this location at all costs, dont make the same mistake we did. Take the extra time to go to a further location.
Mm m
Menu was nothing close as it is in the States and neither is the taste of the meat
Good food.
Fast service, good dining
Sketchy looking place.
Nice place.
I generally like a&w alot because their quality, but at this location i bought blt burger and found out the chicken patty they had given me was stale, smelling bad and was soggy. Otherwise fresh patty and oil doesnt smell so much. I would rather not come at this location again nor recommend going to this location to anyone. Worst Experience ever
Employees and their friends are hanging around the front counter. I waited over 3 minutes until one finally went behind counter and took my order. Employee friends are using coffee station and pop stations for free while coughing and touching everything. Gross. I m leaving now and never be back.
The food was not even cook
Late night staff make it seem like a chore that u asked for food Vegetarian options: Beyond meats Dietary restrictions: Ask the staff member to help Parking: Its part of a gas station, so somewhat limited Kid-friendliness: Kids menu Wheelchair accessibility: Automatic doors
Late service for uber pick They press ready without making it ready Nd makes driver to wait longer time
Items that you ran out of you can pick up there fast services .
Same my comments on the other branches
We went here last night and it was surprisingly really good. Quick and friendly service with fresh burgers.
