A & W

As a Canadian living in the US, I miss A&W. So I stopped in and wasn’t disappointed!
The Double Teen burger was great and very (!) neatly prepared at this location. The fries were good, and I still like getting a frosty glass mug of root beer. Heaven!

I have never pulled up to an A&W where the parking lot was packed and if not for one stall left open, I would have had to wait till someone came out and moved their car so I could have a spot. I don’t come to Abbotsford often and my brother and I needed some fuel to start our day after dropping my dear at her gig so we came here (it was early!). We walked in, and all the tables were pretty much full, from everyone else sitting around starting there day in A&W style. It was an older crowd, and the place looked a little under-​staffed, but these girls who were working here were hustlin to get everyone’s food out.
I think there must have been some coupon that was passed out, as everyone was having their breakfast special of toast, sunny side up eggs and bacon. I ordered a combo coffee and their sausage and egg bun (so wanted to say McMuffin here. but it ain’t the golden arches). I didn’t know they served coffee in a real mug here, and they also serve you food on these retro metal trays. They asked my brother what type of jam he wanted, and we went and found a table, as the line was building up, and the fast food wasn’t as fast as the people were ordering they allowed the clients to sit first, and these girls here were serving the customer’s by bringing their food to them, and the coffee as well. When’s the last time you have seen this happen at a fast food joint?
We decided to read one of their free copies of the Province while having breakfast, but they also provide free WiFi as what their door says. The food was well put together, tasted like how I remembered A&W to taste like, and they actually use coffee mugs and the frosted root beer mugs. Fast food is fast food, but what I saw on this day went a little over fast food in service.

Stopped there for a quick lunch on the road. Ordered a burger patty with no bun because of a gluten allergy. Also ordered a salad. My burger came plain, in a bun and my salad had a moldy grape tomato. Had to ask the counter person for cutlery, then had to explain what the term «cutlery» meant… Don’t. Eat. Here.
