Here in Canada I would go so far to argue that A&W is on-par with a lot of the 'fancier' burger joints, if not better. It's a burger I can't eat while driving because it's so juicy it ends up ruining clothes. Their breakfast gives diners a run for their money too imo, I can go in and order the same kind of breakfast (eggs, home fries, bacon, sausage, toast, coffee), all cooked with the same freshness with generally the same ingredients, and be sitting down eating within 5 minutes, where a diner you might be waiting 5 minutes for a waitress to bring you coffee and take an order for your food to come out ~15-20 minutes later.
If A&W US took a few ideas from their sister company here up north, they could seriously find themselves in contention for the best fast food in the country
A&W Canada is kicking ass with plant-based offerings - their veggie burger is delicious, and they're in every rest stop on the highway so I end up eating at least one every road trip
Me too! If I'm on a road trip and looking for a fast food burger, I'm definitely looking for an A&W. McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy's can barely compete with how good the food is at A&W.
Good to know that I shouldn't have the same expectation if I try an A&W in the US!
