The first dinner in Canada ~ Enjoy a delicious vegetarian burger. The Future Meat burger sold by A&W is very delicious. The fries come in potato and sweet potato varieties, and they are also delicious. They are paired with the signature root beer, great

I had a great experience at A&W Canada. I tried one of their veggie burgers, and it was really delicious fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. The staff was extremely kind and professional. The team member MANJOT who served me was very polite, spoke nicely, and made sure everything was done properly. They clearly value customer service and time management, as my order was handled quickly and efficiently. Overall, everything was excellent from the food to the service. I would definitely recommend A&W, especially for their veggie options and friendly staff.

Not impressed with this place. It was early in the morning and the OJ tasted awful. They did give me something in its place, but I feel that they should be careful to not serve such poor quality juice, which impacted my entire experience.
