Customer Reviews

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeffrey Cutler · Feb 2026

Say what you want about the A&W chains-- the hamburger buns at this store are markedly better than the ones at the north Walmart. As of late it's cash only and limited menu but the food is still great.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ray Moore · Dec 2025

We stopped in as a family for root beer floats. My 6-year-old accidentally spilled his, and Jason at the register immediately came over, cleaned it up, and brought him a replacement without hesitation. Great service and a great experience.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jason Kinyon · Dec 2025

I really appreciate the great service A&W provides. Jason F. was super friendly and cheerful when serving us. A&W has the best root beer and cheese curds!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Hawk Hoover · Sep 2025

The fries tasted like they were from the day before, even with the chili cheese they were hard as a rock. I do like the fact they have a special everyday of the week... $6.95 for a meal deal.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Molly Newburn · Jun 2022

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. We got our order taken by an incredibly impatient and disrespectful young man. We were the only people in the drive thru. We sat at the closed window for 5 minutes before having our payment taken. We received our food and unfortunately did not check our bag before leaving. They left out the fries from our order, our pops were only 3/4 full. We paid $17 for horrible service, a burger and a chili cheese dog. Do not suggest going here until they get their act together. Photo for proof of purchase of food.
