Squamish Station, 1200 Hunter Pl #310, Squamish, BC V8B 0G8, Canada
Canada's original burger restaurant. Known for great-tasting burgers, handmade onion rings, and frosted mugs of famous A&W Root Beer. Now Proudly serving Organic Pret Coffee, offering hot, iced and frozen beverages at A&W Brew Bar.
Food was some of the best A&W I've had but hard to enjoy a meal to yourself when all you can here is staff yelling with each other. A few employees looked miserable as well. Overall I would recommend it hopefully they can keep their private conversations to themselves though. Also forgot how pricey fast food was getting. Nearly 20$ for a combo.
Root beer had no syrup and tasted like brown water Delivered burger without lettuce and tomato. Worst A&W on earth.
Got some food after a camping trip, and went to get a burger, I ordered 2 double buddy burgers with cheese and 2 hash browns, I didn’t realise until I was half way done the second burger that the bun was covered in mould… doesn’t seem like they care much at all about the food quality here. Sucks because I really enjoyed A&W and will most likely not return, if I do become sick within the next few days I will be returning for further action.
Our go to when we are on the BBC road and need a quick bite. Service in this location was great, atmosphere was great.
We were here for a rest stop on the way from Vancoucer to Whistlee. Food was good. We have a chicken burger in a bun, a chicken burger in lettuce, and onion rings. A&W was not as crowded as McDonald’s, so it was kind of more relaxing. However, it was way more expensive as well. Two of us could easily go more than $30 here. Fast food is not cheap nowadays and A&W is like a premium fast food chain. Tables are not always clean. Sometimes you need to wait for quite a long time for a washroom.
I love this location; it’s my favorite spot among all of A&W in all of BC. The staff are always friendly and smiling. The washrooms and the entire restaurant are consistently spotless. I remember a brief interaction with two staff members, Akash and Anubhav, who were incredibly kind and took the time to explain all the burgers to me, recommending some great options. The food was fresh, and the service was fast.
I love this location,its my favourite spot whole over in BC.Staff are so friendly,smiling.How much busy they are ,they make sure the serve customers efficiently.No mistakes all these years Washrooms are so clean Restaurant is so clean
I was sooo exited for a new frozen lemonade for a hot summer day. They have frozen mugs for the drink but they don’t serve frozen lemonade with frozen mug. I asked for it and they said “We don’t do that” Only for the regular drink. but why? So I asked if I can change my drink and have refund for the difference after I paid but I was told that They can’t do that… Why??? This is a only fast food restaurant that I can’t change my order when I order over the counter.😭😭😭 ———- Dirty and not being cared. I was there about 30min and drink paddle on the floor was so clear to see from the cashier but never bothered by the staff. 🤔 Same to the garbage.😭😭😭 Owner needs to have more employees to keep the store cleaner and better service. But I also saw “don’t care” employee.😫
I would say 5 stars, But due to the recent HASBROWN change my breakfasts are completely diffrent. Change it back what the hell. Food : 4/5
Great place
Love A&W. Great food and AWESOME root bear.
Too much waiting time at night even it was not busy. No napkins and ketchup.
Love their masala burger.
Great food, coffee and service.
Honest to God, I swear on my grandmothers chastity, this is by far the absolute best A&W Ive been to anywhere in Canada. I was shocked at the fast food being delivered in a manner that matches its title for once. The food was hot and fresh which made me hot and wanting to get fresh with the employees who made it. Then we got that mad view of the mountains going on, I mean praise bébé Jesus amirite!?! I am. I am right. I am write this review for you because Im like that, Im cool. Not a tool, Im already graduated while you still stuck in pre-school, looking like a fool, playing with your play dough while I play goat. I am that dope. I already made it, that cheques already been wrote. Im done writing this rhyme tho, but before I go yo, remember this, and I qoute, dont give me no problems if you dont want no smoke. Coremundo out. ... A special thanks to... Real music, Oby trice west/east/north/south side hoodlums whillin out with all of the compass, no discrimination based on yo location, we all the same no variation. We navigate like dat. Im talking about dat never eat shredded wheat shit can you dig it? Its time to pivot, back to A&W burger business, which is a whole vibe its defs lit lit skibbidy skit skit hi mom. Vegetarian options: Beyond meat Dietary restrictions: Diet root beer is best diet fast food soda on the market. Parking: Mountain view from parking lot. Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, but they gotta use imagination cause no playground. Wheelchair accessibility: Its 2024, of course there is.
Love their onion rings. Order Well done with extra seasoning.
We usually frequent this location as we are shopping! This location is always friendly and fast. Place usually looks in disarray as they are busy and have closed the restrooms. Havign a hand washing station is nice. Just expect to clean your own table and the food from the previous people that have just left it there.
Overcharged us and gave us incorrect items. Were pretty impatient. This A&W always kinda sucks, will stop going now the price is crazy.
Food was really good . But the customer service was zero. The lady in the front cashier was full of attitude and I think she forget that when you serve customers you should keep smile on your faces.
Teenburger!!!
They dont serve root beer floats
burnt bun no ice water small chicken burger
Food is not good and service is bad
Nastiest fries Ive ever had in my life. Worker let my meal get cold while waiting for every other order in drive thu to be done. There were 2 other people behind me. Worst service ever
Same food, mediocre service, good view though
Good food and service! Tried their beyoud meat burger. Vegetarian options: Beyond meat burger is a must try for vegetarians!
Everythings great
Staff were rude and uncooked hamburgers
Change your hours to close at 1:45 because they stop taking orders before two
Placed a mobile order, then had to wait 15 minutes in the drive through to get it (only served 3 other vehicles in this time). Wasted half my break, and then the food was lukewarm because it had been sitting there while I waited in line. The restaurant was basically empty as well, so not sure why it took so long.
Great spot to stop for a snack on the road from Vancouver to Whistler.
Raman was very very rude. They served beef instead of Chicken and on my request for a change she just said you are making me angry. Very very unprofessional behaviour. And leave aside being apologetic she was just short of abusing. When I asked for Manager, she was not on duty. A&W has severely compromised on the quality of staff. The staff is totally untrained. I can t comment on their qualification but they are far away from hospitality gesture.
The counter staff were polite. Most of my meal was good. However, they gave me a cold hash brown. Also, there was a look from the cook when I took my meal. I think he knew he was giving me cold food. Lastly, I stayed for an hour which I dont think is unreasonable, using the Wifi. Their window washer came and gave me a bit of a glare. I think he was mad that I was blocking his access to a window that he wanted to wash. Better to just say something or skip the window then to try to intimidate your customers over a trfle.
Classic experience at an A&W location. Nothing bad to say. Just good experiences!
Its an A&W, after all. The food is not the greatest. It is, however, ready in a matter of a minute or 2. It is convenient. I havent tried the breakfast lately, but in the past, it was my favourite meal by far. These days, it seems, people expect speed and efficiency over a hot, tasty meal. I also found the pricing quite high. The good news is, they have specials and coupons available that make it more reasonable. Theres nothing more to say.
Good burgers, very quick service. Was sad they dont do root beer floats....
Good food excellent food koka food yum yum yum
One of many selections in Squamish, but A&W always have the better burgers among fast food chain. This location is no exception. Staffs are friendly and dining room is clean. The only downfall was my order was packed on the counter where they have warmers to keep food warm. Cold mozza burger was good but could be way better.
Bad service I waited ages and got the the wrong meal.
The worst a&w place Ive ever tried. Everything is disappointing Food
Parking: Squamish Food
Friendly and efficient service. Fresh breakfast. Delicious coffee. Restaurant, dining room, and bathrooms were spotless. Gotta love A & W. Theyre restaurants are always consistent in delivering a high standard. Id have to say, of the fast food chains coffee, A & Ws is probably my favorite. Highly recommend Squamish location.
Good good
Decent fast food, but pricey - may as well try local non-chain, like Donair
Closing time was 2 AM. I reached at 1:50 AM at drive thru but nobody attended me.
Burgers are better then in Macdonalds, service as well
5 stars because as far as fast food goes, this place is legit top shelf. Ive never had a soggy burger or fries. Never had a squished burger, never had limp or cold chicken. Every visit Ive made (over a dozen in the many years Ive been here) the staff and the (although fast food) has been on point. Also. If you EVER wanna have a real (not fast-foodish) breakfast, hit up a place like this one. On you way to Whistler or just cause you dont wanna cook for the family. A&W does ACTUAL breakfasts. Get yer eggs as you want em, perfect bacon and pancakes- other options as you might imagine. I think this might be the only fast food place Id give a 5 too - and they only get the five cause its the honest best fast food Ive ever enjoyed. Full disclosure- a few decades ago, I worked for EhnDubz- my location back where I came from, no matter what effort and pride we put into out work, it never came out as good as this location delivers ever single time. Not an upscale place, but in its class - top shelf, no question in my mind. Cheers
So dirty... They DONT clean anything. Doors, tables everything is very very dirty.
Amazing staff and service do the breakfast very good friendly service
I went there on Saturday evening time nearby 5pm food was good but staff behaviour was not good and they were talking like they were at home, there were laughing loudly (disturbing environment )
Terrible service cold hard burgers under cooked fries came at 1 pm and it was gross the person taking the order stopped in the middle of it and started talking Hindi to a colleague ignoring me completely then finished my order after laughing. I can speak the language and she was being rude about an elder customer not understanding the coupons. They didn t bring the food out to our table after waiting 10 mins for it to be made buddy burger and chicken fingers with sweet potatoe fries. Didn t give us either dips. Just over all terrible and then they turned the music up so loud I couldn t even talk to the person across from me
always a good spot to stop over on road trip on sea to sky.
Probably the worst A&W experience Ive had. Food was poorly prepared. Poor service. And the place was filthy.
Yummy love
Very rude night crew at 9:30 snobby and both standing on phones acted annoyed we were there dont recommend here.
All the staff were on their phone the whole time we were there staff should not be on their phones when helping customers completely unprofessional staff and non attentive will never come there again
by far the worst a&w location i have ever been to. the corporation should be embarrassed that it allows this location to operate in this state under its name. restaurant is constantly dirty, food is cold, service is beyond abysmal. its pretty sad because a&w is generally awesome. i m surprised the health department hasn t shut this place down honestly.
It is somewhat not fair to give fast food chains more than 3 starts otherwise Id give em 4 for sure! Our burgers were served hot and juicy. Overall a good place for a quick meal on the go!
Allways all good
If I keep eating these Vegan burgers, Im going to pop! I love the location here and the drive. And the reward is a beautiful Plant Based burger, prepared perfectly. 1 Complaint. manager should make sure the service people improve their English.
They are very friendly.
Food was good and fresh! Fast delivery Great location Food : 5/5
Friendly service. Tastes good as usual.
Was ok place today .. its random.. watched today as they looked thru some ones burgers looked like digging in burgers .. identify..no gloves
Nothing better then A&W. Hands down the best fast food out there. This location has always given good service when I stop in on the way to Whistler.
this is the best food station i ever been.
Love a&w consistently the best fast food chain across Canada
Staffs say closed 15 mins before actual closing time
Standard A&W. It was in convenient location as it is on the way to Squamish, so if you are going skiing, hiking or any activity up there, it is great pit stop. Also coffee is $1 for some time now. Food
It was very hard to understand what the server was saying, and the menu display goes away to show advertising which makes the experience even more complicated. Items added to the order were not easy to read. Extra items were added and it was so confusing. Food was decent but pricey for what it was.
Decided to try their milkshake since I really liked the rootbeer milkshakes they had years ago but these sucked for lack of better words. It was shown in the menu picture that they have whipped cream and cherry on top which we didn t get and in replace it was barely filled up more than halfway. Chunks of crunchy ice blended in which I have never in my life have have experienced a milkshake made that way. It was gross and fake tasting. I feel like money money was wasted as I couldn t even drink it.
Probably the best fast food burger available but there are better local options available
Went there Friday April 7th on Google it says open at 6 AM. When I arrived it was closed and the worker had just parked his car and the store wasn t open when it says open at 6 AM they should be arriving early.
Yummy food. Hot and fresh. The staff was friendly.
Slow
A regular burger joint. Sub par decor. Food is as burgers go, nothing to complain. Tried the poutine for the first time. Staff were patient and efficient behind the counter. But tables could do with a clean. Plenty of car parking space in local shopping precinct so its convenient. Great views of the snow capped mountains from the large windows.
Paid full price for a poutine and got fries that were overcooked
3 staff at the register with their hands crossed and not doing anything. No acknowledgment, no thank you. Almost every table hadn t been cleaned, had to ask for a booth to be cleaned. Not impressed.
Quick and reliable.
Well, a but disappointed that this A&W didnt have the original root beer float! The cashier cared less about it! Service
Eggs started funny, and sausage was super greasy.
Food took forever staff was not friendly -execpt the person who brought the good out was nice. My burger was ok but my fathers burger he said tasted old and spongy and off. He then ended up throwing up not long after! Bad burger for sure. What a terrible location
great location and stop over to whistler. usually where i take my breakfast.
Delicious burgers!
I ordered beyond meat burger but patty of my burger was really cold and it taste so awful really disappointed..and even the girl who was making sandwiches had no gloves on and no hair net. Really disappointed
Food
I like the food and the service
Fart & friendly service,clean & tidy restaurant appealing to the eye!
Place doesn t even carry A&W root beer or cream soda. Ordered a coke and they served it without ice. Wouldn t recommend and won t be back.
Nice float
Below quality A&W. onion rings were soggy.
Good clean place to grab a quick meal
Visited this A&W 3 times during the week I was near Squamish. Friendly service and good food each visit.
Perhaps some the most unfriendly. And surly people in the fast food industry. No hi how are you , no please or thank you no smiles, just plain surliness. A classic example of what not to do in the service industry
I order the same thing all the time. A very very simple baby burger with cheese. Literally cheese meat ketchup bun and I always clarify before I pay for my order. Unfortunately every once in a while the window person refuses to listen to my order. Ive worked in fast food, Ive worked drive thrus. Getting home and realizing they put mustard on both burgers even after double checking my order is really frustrating.
Not good at all ordered a blt chicken sandwich and they only put one measly strip on my sandwich wow cheap and stingy much this a&w workers here!!!=/
Exactly what you expect form a a&w but fast service
Decent place for grabbing real quick food. Vegetarian options: Not much of vegetarian options Food : 4/5 |
Very good
Come on, its A and W!
Great stop
As far as fast food goes, I believe A&W does a pretty good job.
The burgers were good and the fries were hot. Needed a bit of attention in the dining room.
they re supposed to be open till 2am but if you get there at 1:40am they won t service you, for a fast food chain this is very inconvenient
Went here on Sunday to get some food and a coffee. I ended up ordering one of their cold brews with sweet cream. I got my food really quickly, however after 10 minutes of waiting I still did not have the coffee. I asked one of the employees who told me that the cold brew takes time, and I can order something else if I d like, or I could wait. When I asked how much longer it would take, she didn t answer. Two of the employees then got into a verbal argument. After 15 minutes of waiting, I asked for a refund because it was unclear if I would get the coffee at all. Overall the food was good, but the customer service was pretty horrific, and I d avoid ordering cold brew coffee here unless you have 20+ minutes to wait.
Rudest drive through worker I have ever encountered.
Food was good, service was sub par. Asked the clerk a simple question about the food preparation for my dietary needs, she stared back at me blankly and said she didn t know, offering no information whatsoever. She had no thought to go ask someone else for the answer, she just stood there. I actually had to prompt her to actually go and get the info I needed from someone else. Luckily someone a little brighter than her was also working, and was able to step in and answer the question after the dud cashier waved her over. This place seems to avoid giving you things in frozen mugs, opting instead for the paper cups, but grudgingly will honour your request if you ask for the mug. Tables could be cleaned a bit better, and there are no labels for which bin is the compost/garbage.
Guy who was taking order , was super rude
These guys are willing to customise your order much more than you think. I love it here.
Stale burger, no straw, no ketchup.
Female Stuff was very lazy working. I don t want to go back! Food
Tried to come in 20 minutes before the dining room closed, it was already locked early. Waited in the drive through for 10 minutes before they answered. Was then told they only had regular fries and couldnt make all day breakfast sandwiches. Was quite rude about it and refused to make anything but normal fries and burgers. Not sure why because McDonalds right beside it had no problem making the same things. Guy doing the night shift was lazy and rude.
Fast and tasty
All tables were clean, and the burgers were messily prepared!
This is Canadas representative hamburger restaurant. Personally, I think Korean hamburgers taste better.
good
Im writing this review right after leaving the store. We made our first stop here to get some food to eat as we were driving for long hours and hungry and the service was awful. The staff was unfriendly . The girl at front didnt let us finish our order and was telling the total before we are even done telling what we want. There was no reason to rush for her. They should learn how to treat a customer. We left that place without food. This store needs to teach their staff lots of things and friendly behaviour is one of them.
Writing this while I sit in the filthy restaurant . My son was hungry so I stopped here to get some chicken strips and fries . 3 strips and fries cost $15 ?!? Ridiculous for the quality but that s only the beginning of my complaints staff is unfriendly, look miserable and stand behind the counter not doing anything while the restaurant is filthy, trash over flowing, tables broken/dirty and sticky.. I asked for a cup for my ketchup and they look at me like it s an inconvenience for me to ask for anything literally never coming back here and I ll tell everyone I know to stay away the staff running this place is useless $15 for 3 chicken strips and fries seems like I could at least get a clean table to eat it at
We arrived today (Wednesday) at 6:13am looking forward to breakfast as we are driving through town. The website and Google say it opens at 6am but the lights were off and only one person could be seen inside. Not impressed.
Place was nice and clean, good location staff was okay, eggs were a bit runny And they forgot my hash brown And they forgot my hash brown
The store dine in was totally messed up, garbage was literally full. Crews are just talking even no customer at all wherein they can clean the lobby...
Came in on november 24th around 3pm. Place was a mess. Girl at the register had no customer service. Food was good and came out quick.
Vegetarian options: They have beyond meat Parking: Lots of spots in the plaza Kid-friendliness: Its a fast food chain so its kid friendly
Always enjoy a&w, great meal options and prices
Great service from staff. Love Burgers and fries.
The burger is so delicious! The lettuce is crunchy, patty was juicy, and with the right amount of sauce on the bun. Probably the best a and w burger I had!
Consistently good breakfast and hamburgers!!!
Everything was very undercooked and cold
This store always serves Cold and saggy food, I have been to this store many times when ever I come to Squamish regarding my work, as this is the only a and w store near this location, I had to go to this store expecting they will change as time goes by but it seems I am wrong, starting today I will just avoid this store
Terrible service
OK this location has lost 2 stars for the following reasons. The pictures are of the two buddy burgers with cheese that I ordered. As you can see the consistency of the staff is sub par. One has next to no onions while the other has enough for both lol. A&W states they serve breakfast all day. This location has decided they longer offer anything except certain breakfast sandwiches. When I asked the staff about breakfast they said no just burgers. Tried to ask when they changed that and he couldnt understand the question. Finally, having worked in fast food myself, you ALWAYS have someone in a managerial position on ALL shifts. This location has NO ONE to take accountability for any mistakes which is why I didnt bother trying to deal with the order or lack of knowledge to someone working. PLEASE, for customer service sake, make sure your staff can understand the customers and educate them to be able to answer a simple question like when did you stop serving hash browns and breakfast wraps all day. Other than this the experience was okay took a bit for them to acknowledge at the box but other than that burgers were ready fairly quickly.
Best fast-food burgers available, the teen is the only way to go
Depending on the number of patties - Mama 1, Papa 2, Grand Parr 3 - you can intuitively understand the menu, and the uncle is 5oz, which is larger than a Mac Quarter Pound. The meat is fresher, juicier, and tougher than the regular franchise. The taste of meat is strong, but it suits my taste. You can choose root beer among the drinks.
Beyond meat burger are my favourite. Enjoyed it with the scenic squamish view.
This has got to be the worst A&W in Canada. They dont have chicken. They dont have onion rings. They dont even answer the drive thru to take your order. And you drive away from the place and find out they didnt put ketchup in the bag for your fries.
No matter how chipper I am while greeting the woman at the drive through window, she never says hello, bye, thank you, or you re welcome. The first couple of times, thought she just didn t hear me, but realize it s just her. It s not a very friendly service
leisurely fast food
Good food
Like it. Always stop by here for Squamish bike training.
I was in the store with few other people at 2.30ish. The food was fine, staff was friendly but the manager needs to cool herself down, shouting at the employees if they are doing something wrong is not a way to run your team properly, a manger should be a team player not a boss who yells and throw orders when there are people around, so disrespectful to the employees who work!!
The manager at this store was shouting at employees in front of everyone without a reason. Disgusting !!! Otherwise, nice staff and good food.
Came here for Remembrance Day and wow it was just the best a&w I have had maybe ever. The service was fast and the food was fresh and hot. Thank you guys. I feel so much better.
Pretty upset with your coffee. A&w coffee is supposedly decent. But this location serves coffee like water. And I can confirm the coffee coming out from two different pots both look pale yellow (yeap, I could have used another adjective). And here is why I am really upset. They are running 1 dollar coffee promotion which personally I dont care. I could have paid regular price. Brewer malfunction for such result is virtually impossible. I think it is the franchisees attempt to save costs. Treating your customers as if they are stupid is the most effective way to kill your business, and in this case, tarnish the franchise brand.
Better than McDonalds
Fast,friendly and consistant! Plus very clean Food
Only one because there isnt a blank star. Its a great restaurant if you like cold food and you cant have extra onions service. No wonder it was empty mid day. And thats beside the terrible tasting burger. Never again.
