Canadian A&W is quite different from an American A&W, as I discovered when I came to order during a long stay at the airport while waiting for my shuttle to Banff. But that wasn't a bad thing at all. For fast food airport food, it was a-ok.
I got the Buddy burger, a slider-sized number, topped with caramelized onions, ketchup, mustard, special sauce, on a fluffy bun. It was pretty good! Not the best fast food burger I've ever had but the onions mixed with the mustard really made it. Kind of reminded me a bit of an animal style burger from In & Out in that regard. Not very beefy but if you just wanted a smaller bite, like I did, it's the right size.
The real star, however, were the onion rings. Cornmeal crusted, not heavy or overly oily, and perfectly crispy.
Root beer was as expected.
Service was ok. Nothing to write home about. And the seating in the food court is a bit lack luster but for a quick bite before the bus it did the trick.
