Best root beer ever.  I used to love going there with the family when I was kid and then later on with a boyfriend, but they closed it down and then it was a Chinese restaurant and then they finally tore down the old building, so sad.  They later opened a new modern style restaurant with no carhops, but they closed that down too, so we don't have one in my town anymore.

Their food is pretty general, but their cheese curds and root beer floats are great!

If you can find one of the old 1960s A&Ws, locally owned they are really good. The originals had carhops and while they are no more, there are some of that era still operating. I found one about 15 miles from my home. Whenever I have to travel to that small town I make a point of eating there. It is like a trip back in time. Really good food, good service and fresh tasty eats. Love it.

Typically, A&W now shares space with another franchise from the same ownership group, usually Long John Silver or Kentucky Fried Chicken. The burgers have flavor and are good; the right size, well-dressed, and fresh. The frosted mugs of root beer and desert novelties are what distinguishes A&W from other chains.

like everything A&W has changed a lot. It might not be like the 70's, but compared to all other fast food restaurants it still is top of my list!!!!! Also it helps to know the company inside out, i have worked in this amazing chain,and the best times of my life i found at A&W! and to tell you the truth 11months of chicken strips still hasnt gotten old!!

A&W has really faded away in wisconsin. i have fond memories of it as well as the old DOG N SUDS . Maybe my memory is hard wired to my days as a kid but i like A&W. The root beer is great and the food is ok. But the memories are awesome.

I won't eat there after the local newspaper reported that an employee used a food container to get gas for their car. Someone got pretty sick. How stupid is that?

about a 3.5. used to eat there now and then but there are not too many around. like on occasion. used to eat the coney dogs. but they seemed to have changed the way they make them. {plus they do not do so well on the tummy}the burgers are okay. the rootbeer is still just as good. and the floats are still good.remember liking to go here when you could still go to the drive-in part.

Part of the cityscape of the old America. This is why it gets five stars. The old America is gone forever, but remnants exist here and there to remind us of what we've thrown away.

I used to love this place as a kid because it was different.  They used to bring the food to the car on rollerskates and hook it to our window.  I thought that was very cool.  I remember the frosty mug filled with rootbeer was quite yummy but don't remember much else about the taste of their food.  Don't see them around much anymore, guess they weren't that good!

food is good enough, but service is terrible and the price of some of their stuff is crazy expensive. I bought their fried cheese curds for $3 something and all you get is a little bag bout the size of a small fry somewhere else.

Used to be a lot better. They are rare and the food is not as good as it used to be. If you like root beer it's the place to go but other than that, nothing special. A&W's are now popping up all over the place with KFC in the same building but they are not Drive-ins

I guess I'm in the minority here, but my eyes light up whenever I see an A&W during lunch hour. I think they are much better than the McDonalds and Burger Kings that litter the landscape. Plus the carhops are a great alternative to dining in. The coney style hot dogs, while not the best, are pretty good for a chain restaurant.

When I was a kid A&W still had the carhops. The food was much better back then and so was their root beer. It's just not the same A&W I grew up with.

when i was little just down the street was an original a&w where you pull up and they'd come out to the car and we always got those little baby root beer mugs. now that was cool. now times has changed and its been everything from a run down video store that got for selling x-rated videos which happens to be illegal in utah unless it cable version and now its a discount cigarette store. i think better off when it was a&w

I like A&W a lot. They use to have better shakes and fries until they started merging with other franchises like Long John Silver's. I still like their burgers though.

I remember A&W when I was younger cruising the streets of my home town in my muscle car. It was a place we all would hang out at. I still love A&W...but I am almost positive that the burger patties are smaller then they were in the 70s.

I DO BELIEVE THE NAME SHOULD BE CHANGED TO DRIVE-THRU. MOST MODERN CARS HAVE TOO MUCH OF A SLANT ON THE SIDE WINDOW TO CALL FOR A RESURRECTION OF AN ACTUAL DRIVE-IN EATERY. BUT TOO, REALESTATE IS THROUGH THE ROOF MAKING IT MORE OF A CHALLENGE TO PAY FOR A PARKING LOT BIG ENOUGH TO FIT ALL THE CARS BELONGING TO THOSE FAST FOOD JUNKIES OF TODAY. AND WHO WOULD HAVE THE TIME TO WAIT IN THAT VAST SEA OF VEHICLES? I'M GOING TO WENDY'S 2 STARS ON THE ROOT BEER IN THE FROZEN MUGS.

I rather enjoy the occasional Teenburger, but the rest of the menu should go straight to the dumpster. One of the most erratic of chains, the quality from one outlet to another can be dramatically different.

I love A&W root beer and grew up on their hot dogs. But, pretty low grade quality overall as a meal. Great if you are starving and just want to stuff yourself with junk. I also like that where I live they built a KFCD/A&W in one place, one drive-up window and inside ordering.

The A@W store paired with KFC on waterloo rd in Stockton, CA is the absolute worst establishment in your chain. Service is non-existant(people are leaving in droves because they are waiting so long...We did again tonight) The manager doesent care and is rude and curses at folks who complain. I and my family will never go there again..and we know a lot of people.

Their full-service restaurants are excellent. The Teen-Burger is outstanding. Good fries, rings, root-beer in unmatched with the exception of Dog&Suds. Unfortunately, the A&W brand is also being used by crummy mall food-courts, serving only hot-dogs and drinks, and maybe a half-assed chicken sandwiches. No burgers... A&W was the first drive-in in the USA. I hope they don't fold.

I also haven't been here in years, I still see them around but now they are just another run of the mill fast food place, nothing special. I loved going as a kid, they'd bring the food to your car on a tray and remember the burgers, Papa Burger, MaMa Burger and Teen Burger, also great chilidogs. The root beer was is awesome but tastes best when you get it in the authentic glass mug.

Next to Dairy Queen, this place is still my all time favorite. Not only is it All AMERICAN food and fun, but the stores are usually super clean, and the food is downright delicious. A little greasy, but so what? It is burgers and hot dogs..duh ! I recommend A@W to everyone. Especially their root beer and root beer floats. Thanks. ~Kolby
