Food is usual AW stuff - good However, it took way too long for mobile order to be completed - for me, an order of three burgers took around 15 minutes to be picked up. Store wasnt even that busy.

★★★★★

I had a fantastic experience at A&W! The burgers were delicious and fresh, and the root beer was spot-on as always. The service specially from the girl at front counter named Kunjal was outstanding—friendly and quick, making the whole visit enjoyable. Highly recommend for great food and top-notch customer service

Enjoy this location in person but over skip the dishes it wasn’t good. They forgot the sauce that goes with the sweet potatoes fries, they didn’t include the granola bars for my kids packs, I asked for no pickles on two burgers but they had pickles.. I asked for ice in the drinks (they have ice in person at this location) and they didn’t give ice. Overall disappointed in the delivery service

Disappointing Service Experience at this A&W I recently visited this A&W location, and the service was frustrating to say the least. The girl who took my order got it wrong. I ordered a Beyond Meat meal with a side of poutine, but she insisted I didn’t order a meal and charged me separately for the poutine, which is supposed to be part of the meal. I’m not sure if it was a language barrier or just a lack of attention, but it was very annoying. To make things worse, this location charges extra for grilled onions, while other A&W locations don’t. The wait was far too long—about 15 minutes—and I didn’t have time to argue. The girl taking my order was firm that I hadn’t ordered a meal, which added to the frustration. Another issue is that the service at this location seems to be getting worse. The staff seems more interested in listening to Gujarati songs in the kitchen and gossiping than actually focusing on the customers. It’s disappointing when the staff can’t get basic orders right because they’re too distracted. I won’t be coming back to this location anytime soon.

This place is by far the cleanest A&W we’ve been to. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our order is always correct and the food is always nice and hot. This is the A&W we choose and it never disappoints. Thank you for all you do! See you soon!

The lady at the front counter was yelling across the room at her colleague. I mean she was screaming. And then she started playing her own music from a Bluetooth speaker over the restaurant music. I couldn’t eat in peace. I had to pack my food up half way through my meal because I had such a headache listening to her to treat her job like it was her own leisure time.

I recently visited A&W and was blown away by the quality of their food and service. The burgers were cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, and the wrap was crispy and well-seasoned. I also loved their signature root beer – it was the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our experience was top-notch. I will definitely be returning soon!

Thé store said they close at 3:30 Am. I show up at 2 am and they won t let me in. Like I get but also that your job. Like I got my Uber to pull over so I could get a hamburger and they wouldn t let men in, even though they were supposed to be open. That s bad customer service to me. Pretty disappointed.

Were just at this location 1/2 hr ago Were really disappointed in Mama burger. It was cold, dried out and obviously over cooked. Also sold out of french fries! Actually inedible. Were offered replacement burger but too late. You only get one chance to make a first impression

Food preparation has no consideration for hygiene. I just witnessed the cashier take an order and go prepare that order with her bare hands, without washing her hands, using any type of hand sanitizer, or putting on gloves that were right next to her. Then a guy comes from behind the kitchen and starts manipulating the food with his bare hands, he could have been coming from the bathroom for all I know, and didn t bother to put on the gloves that, once again, were right on the counter.

The staff at this location give exceptional service. I would not say I love their burgers, but I had such a craving for a hamburger I broke down and when in. I would rate the burger as a 6 out of 10, but service was an 11 out of ten at this location. The lady at the front was kind, patient and very accurate at getting my order correct.

The food is very good, it feels very natural and fresh. Service is good but could improve. The tables and the rest are always a bit dirty and that is in all the places. I think they should improve hygiene because since they sell food it is essential that it be a clean place.

Employee picked up raw chicken with her bare hands and then didnt wash her hands afterwards. When I pointed it out, she argued with me. Im a professional cook. I have my Food Safety certification. Pretty sure I know what someone washing their hands looks like.
