A & W Restaurant

Pretty standard A & W. This is the only A & W close to work. Quality is always consistent and the restaurant is clean. Good and fast service. I always recommend their beef burgers. But the chicken burger they are advertising much about nowadays is a little too disappointing in my opinion. It doesn’t taste any different than the McChicken. Both are very salty.

Ever since I found out they serve breakfast sans breakfast sandwhich I’ve been coming back whenever I need a hardy meal before driving off to do weekend errands. The meals can be slightly warmer but under $ 10 the serving size and real eggs and real tomatoes on the side really make it worthwhile. I’ve been getting the 3 cheese omelette when I don’t feel like loading up on meat first thing is the morning. Comes with 2 slices of toast, friend hash brown and 2 slices of tomatoes. I usually order their freshly squeezed orange juice too and it’s awesome they serve it in their frosted mugs!
If you want a break/​change from that Ikea breakfast try this joint out!

Since I like onion a lot I naturally asked for extra onions and told them to skip tomato & lettuce. And what do I know they didn’t put nothing but PICKLES. Biggest fck-​up like how do you forget to put onions on an order that specified they wanted ONLY onion??? Never coming back to another a&w because
1. Read above
2. The beef tasted old and stale
3. Root beer was watered down

I occasionally go to this location, every single time the food is great to eat. Never had an issue. They have wifi now, compared to the previous time I’ve visited which is good. Plus plenty of free parking.

A&W has terrible business practices. I stopped with a friend today for a quick dinner and we each bought an uncle burger with a combo. I used a 3.49 uncle burger coupon but I didn’t realize that I was charged full price for the fries and soft drink. Apparently if you use a coupon you don’t get the combo discount. But nowhere in the restaurant did it state that the combo is not available when coupons are used. This is quite misleading and even the staff agreed. One cashier said they always get complaints about this issue but there is nothing they can do. This is not about the dollar that I was overcharged but it is All about the PRINCIPAL.

Late night in Scarborough so passed by the 24 Hours A&W on Warden & Hwy 401. We have been seeing a lot of A&W ads stating that they do not use any steroids, hormones or preservatives in their food which adds to the value of the product.
We went in the drive-​thru and ordered a Papa Burger, Medium Fries and 2 Chipotle Chicken Wraps. When we got home, we tore open our greasy grub and chowed down.
Verdict:
Papa Burger (2 patties) was A-​OK. I have had better because it was a tad on the dry side. I had to add a bit more ketchup and grated my own cheddar cheese to make it a little bit more wet and yummy tasting. Also, it was $ 5.25 + tax which is a bit hefty for a medium sized burger. No hormones, right?
Medium Fries (Russet Potatoes) — These were pretty bad. They were soggy as hell! I don’t mind a tad soggy like Swiss Chalet fries but still, blah! They may have been undercooked which would been a big factor.
Chiptole Chicken — This was my wife’s order. She said, «Good». That’s it.
It all depends who is frying up the food and how long it has been sitting there. It was during the later hours. It is good that it is open 24 hours in case you have a late night craving.

Absolutely terrible. I know A&W usually isn’t like this, because the many other locations I have visited were all just fine.
We ordered 2 sandwiches without tomatoes, to go. When she handed them to me, I asked her, «Are there tomatoes in this?» She confirmed that they did not have tomatoes. When I got home, they did in fact have tomatoes. Not even a big deal, we just took them out; disappointing nonetheless.
My burger had a hair in it. I know it didn’t belong to me because my hair isn’t a foot and a half long. The burger made me mildly ill, and my brother’s made him severely sick. Worst experience I’ve had with any A&W. I won’t be going back, and I suggest take your business elsewhere.

A&W is a yummy fast food chain and we had a good experience using the drive through at this store. I had a the double teen burger and my wife had a teen burger, we shared an onion ring and a diet root beer. Total cost $ 16 (not bad).
The food was tasty and the drive through experience was FAST.

Greasy onion rings, and when I mean greasy, I don’t mean the NORM greasy, I mean’t that as I was arriving home there was grease leaking out of the bottom of the bag.
The teen burger was my choice, I felt the burger was not well done.
Cute girl though.

Worst A&W food of any location I have ever visited. This franchisee should have his/​her license revoked. RANCID onion rings. STALE burger buns. WATERY, WARM root beer. All the food came from the warming bin and, from the taste of it, it had been sitting there a long time. If the A&W «Root Bear» ate here he would soon be throwing up into his tuba.

I love A&W. All of them. Out of all the fast food chains, they are my favourite. This location is just as good as all the others, PLUS they have a 24-​hour drive thru! This makes me sad, but also really glad, that I don’t live closer.
Like most locations, this one is clean and the service is pretty good. You get your root beer in a giant, frosty glass if you’re eating in. The food is the same as all the other locations, just bad enough for you to be considered junk food, but not so bad that you feel like you ate a trojan horse full of acid and food poisoning. The fries were also very crispy!
