A&W

This the closest A&W i have near home, I definitely recommend this place for a quick stop or for lunch.
Staff here is very friendly, and are willing to help.
Prices are ok but could be better.

12÷14÷15 Stop #13: Overall 3.5 stars. Oh dear gawd, still not done eating? After a full day of eating and shopping, stopped by here on the way home to grab some grub. Hubby and I got the veggie burger and auntie got a bunch of burgers. They say they use hormone free meat etc. which is cool, but to me it was just your typical fast food. At least it didn’t stink in there lol
Loved their .99 cent apple turnovers (but so tiny). Plus, free WIFI. So for that I’ll round them up to 3.5 stars. Burger were super pricey. Auntie spent over $ 30 for I think 4 – 5 burgers and 3 apple turnovers.
Parking lot is tiny as hell and they’re in a tiny center w/​phở and Dominos Pizza and a couple of other little restaurants.

Not the greatest burger but at least it fills my belly beforet. Customer service is better than the other locations, however, not by much to be honest.

I’m a food junkie I admit it but I have a weakness for the mama and papa burgers at A&W. I don’t know why but its fast and delicious. Also in the morning you can’t beat their hashbrowns. Crispy, deep fried, it is so good its so bad if you know what i mean.

Great to see this one open in the past year in this posh side of Vancouver, no need to drive to Marine Drive’s galore of fast food w/​Mcdonalds & Wendy’s.
2 mozza burgers for $ 7 is a steal here, or a hot phở next door for the same price. Just depends on your mood. But do find their floats have either lost their allure, or just prefer a real milkshake.
Like the modern look, with the heavy emphasis on the orange theme, good marketing.
free wifi, another star.
But parking does suck here in its tiny lot, so 49^th Ave. is the way to go, just watch out for those cars flying down.

I love a&w, and this location is no exception. Cast off are the days that a&w looks like 60s dinners, this one features the new modern look that feels refreshing and not awkward to sit in. For this location, parking might be scarce as this parking lot is small and dependent on when you go. Like all a&w, they accept major forms of plastic and cash.
I love this a&w because everything is fresh; fries, burgers, shakes, etc. you name it. I have high praise for a&w fries because everywhere i go, theyre always fresh from the fryer. Burgers aswell, you can see the patty grilled in the back. A&w has also step towards a very environment friendly by changing the burger wrapping from the foil pack to a parchment paper pack.
I find this location very convenient for travelers going up and down oak, and for school kids around the neighbourhood. Great job a&w, keep up the good work.

I’ve been anticipating this location ever since I first saw the construction signs last year. It is surprisingly clean and modern, with nice little touches like wire-​baskets to hold french fries. Fast and friendly service and free wifi (if you can get your iPhone to stay connected). My Mozza burgers (yes, in the plural… hey, there was a 2 for $ 6 deal) were expertly wrapped with one end open. The buns were perfectly toasted on the inside and not the least bit squished or soggy (as they are at Five Guys or Burger King). Tasty stuff.

Wow, A&W has done a really good job rebranding themselves. Especially at this location.
Parking is available in the strip mall out front.
They weren’t doing so hot when they pushed their «1950s» theme. It’s simply too irrelevant to all but the baby boomers. Now it looks like they’ve polished their image in a funky retro way. If I were to use a car analogy, the PT Cruiser and Chevy HHR come to mind. And it works. It no longer looks like dingy or beaten up, but nice and shiny. The place is covered in neat (fake) vintage posters, with a «pipes» theme in the dining area.
One curious feature that my buddy and I always wanted to try was the self-​ordering kiosk. We weren’t sure how well it would work. But the menus were straightforward, and we got our order placed after a short learning curve. A couple of minutes later, and our food was ready.
While we only had the fries today, the kitchen did look cleaner and more bright than other locations. I will also say that the fries were also pleasant crispy. Next time I’ll be back for a burger.

I came here in the morning, after noticing this new location pop up, and in need of some much needed breakfast after a crazy Unilocal party the day after! I wondered how this A&W was going to look, after seeing the new downtown locations, and I can say they have seemed to follow suit on the design. It is very, new age, is probably the word I’m going to use. It’s welcoming, probably because when I was here, I was the only person in the place, but I did notice the big menu boards, so no squinting of the eyes, and also while sitting down, I noticed they have the self-​checkout option at this location too!
I had coupons, and got there breakfast sandwich’s, and I was about to leave, but decided to just sit around and enjoy their food. They have everything in order here, no mess, the newspapers are nicely stacked, with the newest ones in front, the music was played at a comfortable level. There is no drive through, and it’s located right at 49^th and Oak Street, where you can park your car in the plaza. I don’t think many people know about this location yet, but if your like their food, and you want to stay away from Oakridge, come in here, it’s nice.
