I tried calling the owner who is very rude hung up on me I called back again and told him. He was all rude again and then hung up again. I was trying to set up a way I could accommodate feeding all those at 1 bid. Which is down the road from his business. I guess I'll have to look for other options with his attitude. I can't believe that I would even have to post this

I have been missing A&W since the midland location closed down. I was so looking forward to a coney cheese dog but what I received was nothing like any other A&W coney dog. It looked like ground hamburger rolled in ketchup sauce or marinara and had no cheese sauce on it. There was a chunk of hamburger cheese sitting under the hot dog and a strip of bacon which I thought was wierd. Sitting on top of my coney dog was a hair.. I finally worked up the courage to take a bite on the non-hair side and immediately proceeded to spit it out. I’m scared to ever order a coney dog from any A&W again now. Ruined me for life! I gave 2 stars because the cheese curds were really good.

Let's be real... Prices have risen astronomically from what they were. Unfortunately, some of the food quality has dropped, also. Do not get the chili cheese fries unless you like something resembling ketchup mixed with meat. Yes, that's what it tasted like. I'll go every so often to get the Spicy Papa Burger with a root beer and fries, but I won't be trying any other sides, or going as often as I normally would. Just too expensive.

Disappointing. Had a coney dog and the sauce was not good at all and it looked and tasted like thickened up ketchup. If you go, be sure to take cash because they don’t take anything else.

Love the root beer. Childhood memories of piling in the car on a summer night with family. Loved seeing little brother's "baby beer", 50 some years ago!!!

We were 10 minutes late. It was already closed but the waitress took our order. She was very kind and even refused a tip. It was a beautiful evening. My boyfriend drove his Audi with the top down so that was fun.

Drove 2 hours up to try, didn't disappoint at all. Absolutely slammed there. Drive in style outside, inside is set up like old fashioned burger joint. Staff were very friendly and fast despite being super busy. Food was hot, fries were crispy. It is cash only but we understand why, we own a business and card fees are absolutely ridiculous right now. Bring cash with you. We loved it there and will be returning again and again.

They only take cash and only limited amount of seats. They were very friendly and very busy!
