This is one of those guilty pleasure places for me. My ex gf and I went here all the time.
A&Ws seem really big here in Southern Ontario. In Los Angeles you hardly ever see them. So, they are kind of fun, curiosity to me.
Yeah, it is corporate owned fast food: you know what you are in for, bad and good. When I want gourmet, I know where to go. When I want cheap, easy and reliable, I will go to a place like this. (I have my limits though--this and Harvey's are the only fastfood chains I eat at).
I love the frosty mug of rootbeer and free refill.
The poutine is tasty. Instant gravy but vege friendly.
The sweet potato fries are fine.
I've tried several of the sandwiches. Again, nothing incredibly amazing but always very tasty.
The service has always been friendly and our orders were always right.
I might not go to less location due to personal associations but I'll go to others. Recommended in the category of fast food hamburger.
