A&W offers delicious food and friendly service, but its location inside a gas station may be surprising. Seating is limited on the first floor, but more is available upstairs, although it's not specifically meant for dining. Customers have shared positive experiences, praising the root beer, which they rated 10/10, and the root beer float. The coney chili dog was also highlighted as probably the best food ever had at a gas station. The staff is noted to be friendly and dedicated. One visitor mentioned their first time visiting the Drive Thru drive-up restaurant in Dubuque, where they ordered two Double Bacon Cheeseburgers with everything on them. The burgers were described as massive, cooked all the way through, juicy, and very tasty—so much so that they shared some with their dog, who agreed they are the best ever. The location is inside an older gas station, which adds a nostalgic feel, reminiscent of drive-in experiences from their hometown. Despite the unique setting, many enjoy the place, though some lament the closure of similar spots and appreciate seeing the older gas station pumps with worn buttons and outdated card readers.
