★★★☆☆ 3.0 John Weaver III · Feb 2026

Hadn't been to an A&W in many years. Ordered the bacon burger with thousand Island and a big papa burger. First time the condiments and bacon got swapped on the burger. Second time around still wasn't right. The mayo and thousand Island were swapped again. Maybe just a bad day for the crew. 3/5

★★★★★ 5.0 Andrea Espinosa · May 2024

Very kind staff and quick service!! The food was reasonably priced and tasted great! The fries I believe are some of the best fast food fries I've tried. Couldn't leave without getting a classic A&W Root Beer float, and it did not disappoint! Great place to stop by for a quick lunch on a road trip.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lisa Nicole Cunningham · Jul 2025

I love the nostalgia of this place. I stopped in to see a friend in town and had to make a quick stop here on my way out. The root beer float was delicious.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Shannon Williams · Jan 2026

The man and woman that work there were nice. The price was cheap. However the quality of the food to me wasn't all that great as far as the BBQ sandwich goes. You put your own BBQ sauce on the sandwich and to me in my opinion it did not help. The restroom was clean. There are tables and booths. The place was empty when I got there and in the hour I was there I witnessed one customer come inside and one go through the drive thru.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Matt Keltner · Mar 2025

Before I rate, let me say this. I am a huge fan of nostalgic A&W. High points: The service was outstanding and I lersonally loved the 50s/60s vibe of the original building. Low points: The food had a very processed/chemical taste. Plus, the prices were high for what you received. (3) boxes of 5 piece chicken tenders, (2) chili cheese coneys, (2) root beer drinks and (1) mug were almost $77.00.
