Bobby Springer (local guide, 31 overall reviews) — “I dined in here about a week ago with my friend. The last time we were here had to have been about 7-8 years ago or so. I wanted to come back since I drive by all the time when I'm on my way to work and driving by when I'm working. I do love A&W but just never manage to stop by that often. First off, ordering was really easy with the screens! We got our order in, and went and sat down. When the gal brought our food, I had to tell her that we had root beer floats with our meals. She did make them and brought them to us. The music playing was definitely the drive-in vibe, LOVED THAT. The restaurant had two Christmas trees in the restaurant that had A&W cans as some of the ornaments. I totally loved that also! I love when restaurants decorate, even if it's just a little bit! 😍 I also really liked how the restaurant had cool things on the walls like license plates, old nostalgic pictures and such. The food took a little bit of time to get to us, but everything was really hot and the order was correct! And very tasty! The root beer floats were bomb!! My only question would be if we could have the option to get them in a glass mug, even if we had to pay more? Would make them more appealing!

My experience was overall nice and I will try to get back before 8 years go by, ha ha!"

I got a cheeseburger meal and upgraded from fries to cheese curds, and also had a Diet Coke. I would definitely come back to this location!

It's a great time with nice people and a lot of fun!"

J.L., Farmington, MN — "A hidden gem -  All the locals know about this throw back from the 50s and eat there because the food is good and their root beer is the best, served in frosty mugs. The girls that work there are all cute and dressed in short shorts, again, very 50s. They have 50s music playing outside on the speakers, and every Thursday they sponsor a classic car cruise night. The whole scene is very cool and old school. This is not your sanitized Mac and Dons. There's tape on the benches in the booths, it's old and a little run down, but that's what gives it it's charm. A local old school summer time hang out, muscle cars and all. Ya gotta see it Thurs nights."

Paul Gerold —  "I've been driving past this closed location for years, always hoping that one day it would reopen. I walked in and was greeted by an army of staff behind the counter, the aroma of new furnishings only slightly over powered by the food being prepared and served. After I placed my order and paid, I walked over to the soda fountain to fill my frosty mug, an extremely tall fella was standing behind me with my order. Fast service? Not really sure how they pulled that off. The Papa Burger was perfectly cooked and prepared, a thing of beauty. Fries, cooked just right. And the root beer, as wonderful as I remember it from many years ago. The staff is still learning the ropes and I saw a bit of chaos as the food runners had a bit of difficulty chasing down customers who weren't expecting it to be done so fast. It is obvious the owners and staff are trying hard to make this work. As other business in the area are bailing out, A&W is bravely opening its doors to serve you with a taste of the past and a hope for the future. I will be back often."
