Anything with root beer in it was very good, though the blended root beer shake is significantly sweeter than the root beer float, probably because the blended shake contains more soft serve while the float has more soda. The Cap'n Crunch cereal shake tastes exactly as promised.

The chili is surprisingly weak -- I ordered the chili dog and I could only kind of taste the chili flavor; the texture did a lot more to remind me that there's chili here than the flavor, even while being very salty. This coming from me, who's been accused many, many times of having overly sensitive nose and taste buds.

Fried cheese curds do taste very good, but again, almost too salty.

The customer service was hit-or-miss. Went there two Saturdays in a row -- one cashier was quite helpful while the other talked like she wishes no one was here right now so she can just go home even though it was only a little past 10am.

The A&W side of the restaurant felt really quite nostalgic and had that 50's diner decor look down pat while the KFC side was just... generic, basically. One side offers comfy, multi-colored diner booths with cushioned seats and laminate tables, milk glass pendant lights, quilted pressed aluminum walls and an early 60's style chrome clock, while the other has yellow everything -- hard, injection-molded tables and booth seats, paint job, wall sconces, etc., while the cobalt pendant lights feel very 90's dated. If you take an average between the two sides, you get = average. All the customers end up on the A&W side anyway because it's just far more welcoming, though it can get a little loud when that happens.

Vegetarian options: Choices are very limited. Some sides are vegetarian, but almost nothing else on the menu is.

Ordered an overpriced 5 piece meal through drive through only to be disappointed when I got back to work to find only 4 overcooked pieces. Not worth my time to drive back and argue. Double checked my receipt to make sure I ordered correctly and I did, they were careless.

Perfect service. Had the A&W Root beer floats. Yum. And, we did Kentucky Fried Chicken take out for dinner. Haven’t eaten yet but I like the convenience of the 2 restaurants together.

Personnel in this place don't smile and they act like they don't like customers, but what really gets me not to enjoy my stay here is the constant loud, boisterous laughter coming from those workers inside. It's one thing to be happy at work but a totally different thing to be so noisy and disrespectful to customers who want to enjoy their meal in peace and quiet.I will never come back to this place.
