In my opinion the A&W it is the greatest fast food in Tsawwassen to compare with others. The stuff on front desk so friendly and positioned every time smiling and double checking the order to be sure everything is correct. My order was processed and prepared fast enough. The newest sandwich in the menu still favorite for me. Thank you for your job 👍

It’s soooooo slow I wanna rip my eyes out this service is so slow. I’m in a taxi waiting 25 mins for my food my taxi is at 16$ . I really just wanted to leave but I was already locked in waiting more than 15 mins is ridiculous. Get more staff they forgot half my order. I give up on life. I’m pulling my hair out trying not to scream . So rude no hello no sorry . Just waiting in line still writing this review 😤😤😤😤

Childhood memories when we use to ride our bikes and order a gallon of root beer for less than a dollar.

Food messy, burgers are made very messy, if you only like their root beer thats probably the best thing about the restaurant. Found the food overpriced and didnt like the thick milkshake which gave me brain freeze. Staff gave me a lemonade soda instead.

It's my favourite place for a burger. I usually always order a teen burger with onion rings and an ice-cold rootbeer. I lately tried the new creamy root beer and really enjoyed it. Food is always fresh and staff are polite and friendly. I usually go to the A&W in Tsawwassen. I find it better than some of their other franchises

After biking with friends for about two hours and covering 40 kilometers, we decided it was time for breakfast. We were delighted to find that A&W was open bright and early, and their breakfast options were delicious. The fact that they offered refillable coffee was an added bonus, giving us the energy boost we needed for the next leg of our bike ride. What's more, there is even a secure spot to park our bikes.

Staff is quick to greet with a smile and friendly faces to see. From ordering to receiving the food is out fast. Love the hand wash station as well. Clean and just beside tray drop off. Below was a review from years ago and the pick up was in the wee hours. Not excusing. Was just a bad review for a one time order. I have been back and have no complaints “Would NOT go late hours again. Love them, but not later hours. So very displeased with the service. Look at our onion rings, will check before we get home.”

The food tastes like every other A&W. The drive thru has been an issue for me on several occasions. The staff just seem to not have a clear understanding of what is being ordered. For instance: Can I get a teen burger combo, with onion rings? Chicken Strips? No- teen burger with onion rings (up pops chicken strips).

These days I hear many people complain about service and wait times. It is unfortunate so many have such a narrow view of what is going on in this country. The majority of workers are doing all they can to keep up. I did a drive through order this morning. The individual taking my order was so polite and patient. They spoke clearly and enunciated their words to ensure they were understood over the speaker. They carefully reread my order to ensure it was correct t and then ensured I had the opt to ask for everything before telling me to drive ahead. No rush, no push, no attitude. It may seem like a small thing but consider in daily life for us all at present, this stands out brightly in my day. Thank-you to the staff for this small but lovely experience!

February 23, 2024

The service is piss poor, once asked them make the order fresh but when I got it; gelt like prepared yesterday; had almost reported to the food inspection agency. Once called to place an order on the phone; they wouldn t take it and denied in very rude manner. It s damn shame that no other places are open nearby at night. Avoid it if you can.

Have always enjoyed this location. Unfortunately today I ordered and paid for the All Canadian breakfast. When I got to work there was only one strip of bacon and no sausage. Expediting is a very important part of food service and this time they dropped the ball.

The food was classic and what we expected , it was hot and tasted good. they charge to add lettuce and tomato which seems, from a health standpoint, maybe encouraging vegetables but I know that varies from franchises. They gave us English muffin instead of bun, and we asked for ketchup, no ketchup in the bag. We had the sweet cream cold brew it tasted ...not good. Like an-alcoholic baileys. Weirdly artificial.

I m really impressed with this place! The facade is retro and comfortable (240lb guy) chairs outside; frosty root beer helps beat the heat. The clean up station where you turn in your tray and mug is well thought out; separate trash bins, tray and mug return area, and a hand washing area if you still have a beverage to finish (better than taking it in the washroom)!

I have come to the A&W outside of the mall at tsawwassen a couple of times now for breakfast and every time the staff are so wonderful and happy. Best customer service I get for fast food chains anywhere. I love coming for their breakfast. They serve real breakfast which I just recently discovered and it is delicious. Thank you to the staff for making my morning enjoyable. I highly recommend anyone looking for a sit down breakfast. This location is it.

Why on the menu where you order in the drive through does it say the kidspack is5.99 but you want to charge me 14.99 because I want a kids apple juice? This is bad business. I cannot give my child water on your menu only soda or cows milk? Not inclusive and a price gauge. I will not be going back. Used to be a great location I could depend on for just what my kid needs, when on the run. Not any more! Disappointing.

Long wait times as all the food is always cooked fresh and the restuarant is usually short staffed. Food is high quality, but is also expensive.

Came here after a late night shift and ordered a beyond burger w/ no mayo combo with 2 honey mustard. I work near by but live in South Surrey so i had a bit of a drive home. Upon arriving home i noticed that the burger was in a different packaging and then opened it to see that it was not the burger i ordered and was instead served a teen burger or something along those lines. Either way, the burger was beef and had cheese. Immediately had to throw it out as i m vegan and lactose intolerant and luckily i noticed this before taking a bite. Worth mentioning as well, this was at 12am, I was the only person there and waited at least 10mins for the food Word of advice, if you eat here, make sure they understood your order and double, triple, quadruple check they got it right. I checked in the parking lot and with poor lighting outside didn t even notice the order was wrong.
