★★★★★ 5.0 Stacie Church · Aug 2025

The service was great ! I had the chicken tenders with fries and coleslaw slaw all of which were good ! My biggest compliment was not enough dipping sauce ! And fries could have been a little bit more crispy! All in all was a great meal , my husband didn't complain about his burger either !

I have been coming to A&W in Cortland for over 20 years. This place is brimming with nostalgia of America’s golden yesteryear. The huge root beer floats in the frosted mugs are a must order when dining in here. I have never been disappointed in their selection of burgers, hotdogs, chicken tenders, fries, corn dog nuggets, and cheese curds. The root beer here is brewed fresh on site and you have the option to buy it by the gallon or half gallon as well. Thank you for being a multi-generational stop for my family, you’re the best!

★★★★☆ 4.0 KR AZ · Aug 2024

Local favorite, the iconic location has been here for over 50 years. Dine in or eat in your vehicle. Old time drive in’s don’t exist too much anymore and this is one of the best. Plus fresh A&W root beer. Root beer floats, shakes, burgers, onion rings, chicken tenders and more. Check this place out if you are driving through the Cortland area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ed Netzband · Oct 2025

This A & W restaurant serves delicious burgers, hot dogs, cheese curds, and root beer floats. This place is a reminder of a classic carhop joint! Good prices are a plus as well. Every time we stop we encounter friendly staff and fast service. It is obvious that is a standard customer treatment. There is plenty of parking and indoor seating as well.

★★★★★ 5.0 Prince Dark Angel · May 2025

Great food and drinks. Nostalgia all the way around. Taste still lingering in the buds. Can't wait to go back. Still able to buy souvenir mugs.
