      Yeah, American A&W kinda sucks. Shame, too. I’d love to hit up a Canadian A&W, but i doubt I’ll be going to Canada any time soon…

        The (American) one here closed years ago but I remember the food being decent… the root beer on tap was always the main attraction, though

          I think they’ve been riding that train for much too long. There are far better root beers out there nowadays. Not to say A&W root beer is bad (it’s quite good), but if I want a good root beer, I’m getting Bundaberg.

        There was one I used to stop at on road trips as a kid. It was always super good. Right around when they all started getting shitty, this franchisee said fuck that and just kept running it the way he was. He ditched the brand and put his own name on the place. It’s still great, and I make a point to stop there whenever I can. Shout-out to Webster’s in Clement’s, CA. It’s in the middle of nowhere, but if anyone is ever around there for some reason, do yourself a favor, and give em a try.
