There was one I used to stop at on road trips as a kid. It was always super good. Right around when they all started getting shitty, this franchisee said fuck that and just kept running it the way he was. He ditched the brand and put his own name on the place. It’s still great, and I make a point to stop there whenever I can. Shout-out to Webster’s in Clement’s, CA. It’s in the middle of nowhere, but if anyone is ever around there for some reason, do yourself a favor, and give em a try.
the root beer on tap was always the main attraction, though
I think they’ve been riding that train for much too long. There are far better root beers out there nowadays. Not to say A&W root beer is bad (it’s quite good), but if I want a good root beer, I’m getting Bundaberg.
I’m in Canada.
A&W Canada (a Canadian owned company) provides higher quality food for cheaper prices.
Their breakfast beats McDonald’s by a lot — the hash browns are almost twice as thick. They also have not messed up my order once.
The McDonald’s nearby ducks up 50% of the time, takes forever, and costs more.
Why would I go there?
Correct me if I’m wrong here - Canadian A&W is a different company than American A&W, right?
Yes they are different companies.
I haven’t had American A&W in years but it’s not very good compared to the Canadian one.
Yeah, American A&W kinda sucks. Shame, too. I’d love to hit up a Canadian A&W, but i doubt I’ll be going to Canada any time soon…

The (American) one here closed years ago but I remember the food being decent… the root beer on tap was always the main attraction, though

Never heard of it but will try to find some now, thanks for the rec
A&W is cheaper than McDonald’s now?
It’s similar
Their Nashville chicken burger is decent.
