I don't write this for potential customers, I write this in hopes that ownership or management will see it and take it to heart. First off, the food is pretty good most of the time and the service is adequate most of the time. However, the place is pretty much a dump. It looks run down from the road and it's worse inside. I don't remember when the last time the self service soda machine worked. Ownership? Take some pride in your business. Pump a few thousand into your location, clean it up, and make it look like less of a run down, on its last legs kind of place.

Dust bunnies bigger than the neighbors dog that barks at 4 am. Fruit flies that look like they eat enough to be regular house flies. Music is loud for no reason, fries were so overcooked they could have passed for potato chips. Service was great though.

I've delivered food from here a couple times, never eaten here:
The staff always impressed me with how friendly they were. They were noticeably kind and professional - their food could be garbage for all I know, but they deserve respect for going above and beyond to be polite.

Update: "All's well that ends better" (The Hobbit) Amazing going there the next day. The female cashier was so nice. She had a very positive message on her hoodie (two actually) and though they were understaffed, the wait gave me time to catch up on a book that concerns very recent (21st century) and older events yet concerned a 1970s/1980s theme consistent with the times that I had used to frequent A&W with Dad as a kid. The whole thing was dreamily nostalgic, the food very good and the food service person wonderful! And...you could still get glass mugs! You do have to request these though—so be sure to. <Based on 2024JUN03 visit>

This place is a complete mockery with A&w once was growing up! Totally insane no one is at the drive-thru speaker so I just drive through some and shouts wait! Then I decided to go into the dining room and an employee on a cigarette break tells me that the dining room has closed at 8:00. Then she tells me the speakers broken and we go to the window. I mean don't get me wrong I appreciated this information and that was nice that's one of the reasons I'm adding one star. Then at the drive-thru I asked about their bacon double cheeseburger she said they're out of bacon. Then she says the girls off so they can't make any burgers. So I said can I get like any burgers and she's like no the girls off and also we're out of bacon. Then it turns out this was another way of saying that A&w had closed at 8:00 and only Long John silver's was open something the employee on the cigarette break had not mentioned. I went back the next day and the line was insanely long and not moving. Again don't get me wrong I'm not really blaming the staff they're understaffed in the place is just kind of completely a rundown mass. There's an interesting picture on the wall of Long John silver's. But you know childhood memories of A&w root beer from the '70s were completely shattered! It appeared and I could be wrong about this The only way you could get root beer in a glass mug was to buy one. At least that option still existed! Allied one more star for that. I actually just gave up on A&w Root beer is a long lost dream of going there with your dad as a little kid... I guess it's just lost in the land of nostalgia now forever!

Very Disappointing. Arrived 2 hours prior to closing, and went to order a Hamburger and was told their griddle was turned off for the evening, and was only able to order Fried foods. How is your Griddle turned off 2 hours prior to closing at a Fast Food Burger Restaurant!

I liked the food, but I remember it being much better back in the day. This particular location is now closed. We did take out.
