I’ve never seen such a humungus A&W, or more specifically the corner lot that this relatively smaller building sits on. It’s massive, maybe meant for those oil tankers… Drive thru.

This is a nice warm and cozy place to stop by especially on those mornings when you’ve just dropped off your son at school and skipped breakfast. The staff are pleasant, helpful, and efficient. Quite a lot of regulars come here in the mornings and liven up the atmosphere. This A & W is open 24 hrs and it’s also great to know that their beef burgers contain no hormones or steroids. They also accept SUTP coupons for Bacon ‘n Eggers, Sausage ‘n Eggers, and Mozza Burgers. The Wifi is free but not very strong. The parking lot may be difficult to access from 4th St(heading north) during rush hour.

The first one I had was in Ontario and I have been a fan ever since. Why oh why are you not here in the States? This is WAY better than Harvey’s and it’s raised without hormones! This has got to be my favorite fast food burger place in Canada. My only complaint is that the ones we encountered in Alberta closed too early. I’ve had the papa with bacon, mama, mozza with bacon, sweet potato fries & hash brown. The burgers aren’t that big so it’s a safe bet to get at least the papa. The sweet potato fries were not oily at all and the hash brown was tasty too. They serve burgers even in the morning which was a great stop off before the flight back.

I often stop by here after dropping off my son at school, and I order the classic combo breakfast(2 eggs sunny side up, 2 strips of bacon, hash browns, and 2 pieces toast with black coffee). They offer free WiFi but LTE at this location is much faster. Staff are friendly, the regulars aren’t too loud. Very different vibe from Subway, and that’s OK.

Remember when A&W had a bear as their mascot? That was pretty funny. I mean, a bear? Why a bear? Did the bear eat the burger family? Remember when Dairy Queen had Dennis the Menace as a mascot? Oh, what a crazy, mixed up world. I came here at 2:00am after camping out in my car waiting for a text message that would decide the fate of my evening. They had Sirloin burgers on special, so I bought one. It tasted, unshockingly, like an A&W burger. Then I drove my car to a side street, ate the burger and promptly fell asleep. … Seriously though, a bear? And it had a tuba theme song. What were they thinking?

This A&W runs a late night drive-thru which comes in handy when you’re hungry after midnight and craving a double Mozza burger. That is the best thing on their menu, but sometimes a Papaburger with cheese does the trick. What’s with their burger family thing, anyway? I remember being in line one day contemplating the meaning behind a photo they had up of this cartoon family inside the top and bottom of a bun. That’s just not right. I felt like someone might sneak up behind me and throw a huge foil wrapper over my head and cart me off to the kitchen. Now that would be weird… Where was I anyway? Yes, good burgers at A&W and at this one you can get them late…

The best burgers(yay for teen burgers), although service was sketchy at times. But times can change. What I do remember as the best was you’d get the rootbeer in the glass and it would freeze a little disk of ice on the top it was that cold. Freaking delicious. How I miss eating that kind of food… ahhh, the memories.
