Every time I get the A & W coupons in the mail I make a trip for breakfast. I haven’t tried their burgers in a while but when you can get toast, eggs, and bacon for less then $ 10 and it is fast then you can not go wrong. I tend to order two breakfasts each time and leave feeling ready to take on the day. The sad thing is some locations don’t have hot chocolate, which seems strange. The coffee is just nasty without hot chocolate so depending on what location you go to you may want to just get water.

Once when I was in Highschool, we used to come here at lunch and there was this ballin’ old dude named Phil who was the bomb. Phil would sneak us extra fries and pickles and stuff. He was like a kindly old Grandpa who somehow still worked in the fast food industry but wasn’t jaded by it. It was magnificent. In fact, one time we arrived and he was driving his car in to the parking lot. He was so excited to see us that he waved, didn’t pay attention and mashed into the dumpster. Bummer, Phil. But what a gem. Phil is gone now. Last time I went here I wound up waiting over 10 minutes in their drivethru line for a poorly assembled burger that had definitely been sitting on the warming rack for the past millenia. Not good, but I was starving. At least it was only $ 3. Bring back Phil. He should be the only old thing behind your counter.

I like coming here for breakfast because it is close to home and quick to order. A&W serves a classic breakfast with eggs, bacon and toast until 11AM. After I had ordered the same breakfast several times over the course of a few days the girl in the kitchen instructed the cashier to enter my usual into the register. I find the staff to be friendly, the food fast. I like the way they package the classic breakfast because I can easily fit it into my backpack and eat in on the train while standing with my bike.

My son and I come here for the friendly service and predictable A&W quality(root beer float!). The drive-through is popular, the available dine-in space is tiny — some folks have bigger walk-in closets.
