Review A&w Restaurant - Fredericton

eat there frequently but today the lady took my order has no sense of cx service she should know how to treat customers i ask for melted cheese curds but i got nothing like that people i always go there they look so frustrating not recomended at all

Worst food ever. I waited 15 mins for my food and my almost break was done. Chicken uncooked and lettuce was disgusting all red. Never gonna eat again here

I love A&W and its one of my favorite places to eat at. All of their burgers(real meat or not) are excellent and the place is very nice as well, tables, booths and stools for whatever you prefer. Another bonus is the nice staff members there!

Food and service are usually acceptable, but expect 25+ minute waits inside or at drive-thru during peak hours. Unacceptable for a fast food restaurant. Absolutely avoid when busy if you value your time.

I generaly love A&W its quick and easy and tasty with the kids or on business. Ate here this evening and has less then diserable food, had to check to see if the patty was even there and my sweet potato fries came with some old reg fries and they clearly sat there for awhile. Staff was friendly no issues there which is why i gave 2 stars. Food quaility was way below par.

Did you know On June 20, 1919, Roy W. Allen opened his first root beer stand in Lodi, California. Four years later, A&W began when Allen and Frank Wright opens its drive-in restaurant in Sacramento, California, combining both of their initials for the name, and selling the root beer from Allen's stand. Curbside service was provided by tray boys and tray girls. In 1924, Allen purchased Frank Wright's stake in the business. In 1925, Allen began franchising the root beer, while the franchisee added the other menu items and operated at their discretion. This may have arguably been the first successful food-franchising operation. Allen sold the company in 1950 and retired.[1] A 1950s A&W Burger Family display in Hillsboro, Oregon[10] In the expansion years of the 1950s and 1960s, franchisees were signing 20- or 25-year contracts under the older model.[1] The chain expanded into Canada in 1956, opening restaurants in Winnipeg and Montreal. By 1960, A&W had 2,000 restaurants.[4][11] In 1963, the chain opened its first store on Okinawa.[12] In the following years, the chain branched into other foreign markets, including the Philippines and Malaysia.[4] Dale Mulder opened up a Lansing, Michigan, A&W franchise in 1961.[1] Mulder added to his menu in 1963 the bacon cheeseburger after a customer made repeated orders for bacon to be added to his cheeseburger. Thus A&W is credited with inventing the bacon cheeseburger.[13] In 1963, the company was sold again, followed by another sale in 1967 to United Fruit Co. conglomerate. AMK Corporation purchased United Fruit in 1970. Then AMK formed United Brands Company to hold A&W.[1][4] In 1971, A&W Beverages Inc.—a beverage subsidiary—began supplying bottled A&W products to grocery stores. The bottled products would become available nationally.[1] In 1972, A&W's Canadian division was sold to Unilever. In the 1970s, A&W had more stores than McDonald's.[14] with a peak in 1974 of 2,400 units.[1] Oshkosh, Wisconsin, franchise manager Jim Brajdic said: "Problems back then, including a lawsuit, franchisee discontent and inconsistencies in the operation, caused the chain to flounder and branches to close."[14] A&W moved to a modern style franchise agreement which introduced royalty payments and new standards. However, as their 20- or 25-year original agreements expired, many franchisees refused the revised terms. A&W in the 1980s began offering the Third Pounder to compete with McDonald's Quarter Pounder. The Third beat the Quarter in taste test and was less expensive. All of this was cited in the marketing of the burger. Possibly customers assumed that the Third Pounder had less meat than the Quarter Pounder, thus refusing to buy it.

Great dinners. Pricing is decent and food is always tasty. Staff is friendly and fast.

service took forever wasnt busy, food was falling apart. very unhappy.
