Never seen before, REALLY fast and friendly!! Too bad it's far from home, it would have been my favorite A&w to go to!

★★★★★

For fast food, this particular restaurant is excellent! Really nice staff, freshly made meals and competitive pricing when compared to other similar fast food offerings in the area. The interior dining area could use some TLC. It's clean but old. But I do typically like to dine in and enjoy the frosty root beer.

Always a great burger from AW great as a drive through too, although the restaurant inside had seen better days. But still a good place for a great burger and onion rings.

A&W stands out from the other fast food chain from the very quality of its burgers. Much better than your classic Big Mac ( in my opinion). All the locations are usually very similar. However, I must advise its customers to use the A&W coupons. Because the prices are significantly higher than the other fast food chains. The coupons will cut by at least 40% the price of your meal. 10/10 still

I tried their new masala veggie burger. It was great. It was a bit too spicey for my taste and would have prefered some cheese but other than that, I really enjoyed it!

★★★★★

the beyond trio with no sauce (just mustard) or cheese is vegan!! quite happy about this as it's hard to find vegan food at eateries outside of montreal. staff is nice (helped with my tray as i'm disabled) and the place is very clean

Almost every time I go to A&W, there's no one at the counter for a long time - always waiting, and waiting, and... once the order is in, the waiting is so long for the food to arrive. It's a good hamburger - but - the service is no good. There is no other fast food restaurant I go to, walk in, and no one is at the counter... This is unique at A&W shawinigan... Maybe the next time I will take a picture with my phone!

Typical Canadian brand, with its specificities. The fries are good, the choice of burgers ranges from small to very large, with flavors that are a bit different from other more well-known fast food restaurants. The interior of the restaurant is not the most modern, and perhaps deserves a little modernization.

Fast service, cold cup with self service. The renovations have been made and the tables are well kept clean. There has been a lot of improvement lately except that they hid the mayonnaise which you now have to ask for. Otherwise everything is perfect.

Honestly, at this banner the meals are almost always good, the last time at this restaurant, the poutine was good but too much sauce for my taste. But 5/5 nonetheless. The negative point is the atmosphere given off by the employees, no more service than required and they seem tired of their work, in fact we felt a little sad for them. But the food was very good. Prices, like everywhere else, seem to be constantly increasing. Parking: Okay Kid-friendliness: Yes,

Person who takes our order no smile, no manners and no Service. No utensils for poutine, the napkins are in the trash can next to the hole for emptying the trays. I ordered an orange juice, it tasted diluted? Returning to see the person who took my order, I suggested he have a drink and said to have a taste. She didnt do it, she didnt believe me. It was another employee who opened the machine and there was no juice left, the taste was diluted. This young man was very kind and replaced my juice with a smile. Thank you very much to this responsible young man

Our breakfast was perfect even if we had to wait to be served because there seemed to be only one person behind the counter and it was rather quiet in terms of atmosphere because the clientele seemed to be made up of single people reading the newspaper.

After a long wait and after having given their orders to other customers who had arrived after me before me, the waitress finally gave me mine. I arrive home and realize she was wrong. She gave my order to someone else. AEW was already closed. I never got what I paid for.

My boyfriend went to the drive-thru we had taken 2 BLT trios and when we got home there was no bacon so my boyfriend called then an employee named Gina didnt believe us so asked us to bring back the burgers very stupidly so my boyfriend left immediately for my desire as a pregnant woman but having worked in several restaurants I know very well that this way would have been worth another free meal or a credit because it was not our mistake but theirs.. So I called and spoke to the assistant manager and he apologized for the service we received from this employee but we have to come another time for their mistake.. I hope to get better service next time if there are places! To finish with a positive point, the food is super good though

The truth is that the food is very good but the service is a little slow. There is also a lack of civility among two ladies who work at the drive-thru. No hello, no smile, super frustrated or irritated faces, I dont know what makes them so unpleasant. It seems that we are disturbing them and that they are impatient for some unknown reason . Its a big change when you compare the drive-thru at the McDonalds next door, where its more laid back and relaxed. (But the food is not as good.) If you are able to ignore the service from these two ladies, or luckily you have someone different to serve you, the burgers and fries are #1 at A and W :)

The place is nice. The atmosphere is always calm and the service impeccable. There are newspapers and free wifi. I recommend this fast food restaurant for those who want a good meal and good service. On the other hand, the bathroom leaves something to be desired. There is no paper to wipe your hands and the dryer is ineffective.

The service was super fast. However, it no longer had the famous seasonings that we put on fries or slices. My fries had zero salt, so they were bland. We didnt offer anything to go with my fries (salt, pepper, ketchup, mayo). Of course, with covid all this was not available, so I would have had to ask for it after starting them. As it was the lunch rush, the girl couldnt finish, so I ate them like that, but it was really ordinary.
