lee constant have to disagree, not saying you’re wrong. Just all the A&W I have been to have been incredibly dirty restaurants. But they do have great onion rings and root beer. Do agree it’s better than BK though.
@@OnnSight WE GOT NOOOTHING IN QUEBEC i work night shift and quebec, levis are ghosts town at night its frustrating and cops look at you like youre a burglar
Doomtrigger ur a dumbass, a&w Canada is far more successful than the American a&w... get out and see the world buddy Canada’s not that far away from ya
A&W has by far some of the best tasting burgers. They are so soft and melt in your mouth and are prepared really quickly from the time you place your order. Will choose A&W over most other burger chains almost all the time
Not exactly fresh made at the drive thru I hit occasionally. Sometimes you might get a hot one and other times you can clearly tell it's been sitting awhile.
If I may I suggest that a&w all American food restaurant need a gluten free menus are udi's gluten free burger buns, and dairy free cheese slices for the beef, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles, and bacon with ketchup, and mustard, and udi's gluten free hot dog buns for the hot dog with chili, and onions, and ketchup, and mustard, and also blackened chicken tenders, and gluten free corndogs, and sorbet ice cream with gluten free wafflecones.
@@paxhumana2015 The trouble with Poutine is that the gravies are so badly done. New York Fries does do some good Poutine with Butter Chicken and Pulled Pork Poutine.
Here in Canada A&W IS ONE OF THE BIG 3! My friends and myself consider it #1 In fact where I live, (Central Alberta) it is probably the most popular restaurant around. (They ALWAYS have cars there, even at like 3 am)
@@livefreeordiehard8898 Unlikely. In-N-Out only expands when they can afford to. They don't franchise, so they're entirely family owned. It's also why they're not across the USA. As for Shake Shack, they're more widespread, but are more of a fast-casual experience so not really the same market. Kinda like they haven't taken out McDonalds or Wendy's.
A&W is super popular in Canada it’s because they where one of the first fast food franchises to come to here, they have some sort of contract so that they are always in mall food courts as well.
@Cheeky bastard ! Sorry for your need to hurl a personal attack on an innocent poster. A&W Canada's menu is very different from the US as they are not the same company... and have not been since 1972. For the past several years the focus of the Canadian company has been to offer healthier food choices including serving only beef which do not contain hormones or antibiotics along with adding plant based burger and breakfast sandwich options among others.
A&W is my favorite burger chain, I've been going to A&W since I could remember. Up here in Canada A&W has poutine. The poutine a little salty, but still delicious. A&W root beer has a special place in my heart. I don't know if the United States has them, but in Canada they have root beer suckers that taste just like the drink. Unfortunately you can only the find the suckers at A&W restaurants and not at mall locations. I love Canadian that A&Ws have paper straws instead of plastic ones now, the past couple years they've been more environmentally friendly. That makes me love A&W even more. Thank you for the amazing video, keep up the good work.

Years ago I was spending a few days in a small town East of Edmonton, Alberta attending a graduation ceremony at a small college. The town had an A&W where my son and I ate many of our meals. I was telling one of the staff about a friend of mine in Halifax, Nova Scotia who, unknown to me, was working as a cook in the kitchen of a local A&W. I had ordered a "Papa Burger" and when it came out it had so many patties that you couldn't close the wrapper it came in. It must have had five patties on it. The young lady laughed and told me they had one that beat that. They called it the "Mammoth Burger" and it came with ten patties of meat. I asked if they sold many of them and she told me they sold a few but they had one person who would regularly buy one every week. Ironically he was an ambulance driver who lived in the area. I love the A&W Onion Rings (with extra spice), their Root Beer (in an ice cold mug) and their Burger Family but the "Mammoth Burger" would have been a bit much.
A&W (Canada of course) far outweighs the competition for me! And the slightly higher prices are definitely reflected in the food quality. Who knew they were such innovative leaders in several areas of the fast food industry eh?! 😉
Sorry nobody lives in Canada. they closed up the whole damn frozen ass country and shipped it to Mexico. Stop talking about Canada and get some rest you got big loops under your eyes. Look at RUclips videos tomorrow.
When I was young A&W had service to your car. A waitress would come out and take your order, and deliver it to a tray that attached to your window. It was the root beer that drew people. They used real sassafras root in it which has health benefits and real root beer flavor. I had to have a root beer float when I went there. An American and Canadian classic.
I am from Qc and yes A&W do well without even trying hard on marketing, we like that it's hormones free and that they have a nice selection and still as no competition from either McD's nor BK's, we just miss the good ol'bear to be seen sometime...
Famous Fans: American film maker Kevin Smith has been a fan of root beer, especially A&W, for a while. So much so that, in Canada, they raised his jersey to the rafters. As he stated in his special, Silent But Deadly, he frequently an A&W so often while up there shooting a TV show, the manager offered to display one of his shirts in the restaurant.
A&W root beer has to be the *BEST* root beer I've ever had! After watching this video, I think it's great that they're always trying to improve it and the rest of their menu! I actually didn't know they've been around for *that* long, it just makes the video even more interesting 👍
There is not a better root beer! And it makes the best root beer float ever! I had my first dozen, err hundred or so in Ithaca, NY! Great, now I am wanting one and it is 5 am!!
IMO, it's only better on Tap and served in a Frosted Mug. Once you start drinking it from a bottle there are numerous other root beers that are as good or better.
Another great video, folks! I love A&W (I live in Canada) and I like their breakfast sandwiches (much better than McD's) and their onion rings are the best. Of course, the root beer is great. I was so happy when they brought out diet RB years ago. I always keep a case of it in my fridge. I bet if Homer Simpson tried A&W he would never go back to Krusty Burger ever again!
A&W fastfood breakfast in canada is astonishingly legit, even has proper classic options. Their fried hashbrowns remain the best in league. They're actually really crisp on the outside but the inside stays fluffy, and it's not really greasy. McD's tastes so cheap and bad in comparison
I work for A&W Canada, and I can tell you that the canadian version has evolved a lot towards real food and natural ingredients, they removed processed cheese, refined sugar from root beer, added vegan options, sweet potato fries, real hasbrowns, naturally smoked bacon (with cherry juice in it), they also removed butter from their condiments and added margarine instead. They sadly removed hot-dogs and whistle dogs, but hey, guess it was less healthy than a burger (and it's true).They changed a lot of things, the food there is high-quality (and so is the price high), but it is so tasteful, every burger has its own ingredients mix to add a unique flavor that people love! I look at the american a&w menu and I cringe, since there are a lot of weird options that seem different from the basic and simple canadian authentic menu.
What I like about the Canadian menus is they have the classic burgers that have been around for years and they don’t mess with them they perfect them and then they will add some new things but only keep the things that people love. It’s very smart the menu not big but it dose not need too be people come for there classics. Also the fires are the best I’ve tasted that’s just me the root beer is iconic and everything is made to be somewhat healthy or better for you it’s still fast food it’s not going to be 100% healthy. And lastly the food taste like food you actually say to yourself this is good why’ll eating it.
I stopped working at A&W Canada in March of 2021. However, I tried it, It's good, but nothing exceptionnal. Simply a bun with a patty, cheddar, creamy and spicy dill sauce topped with pickles However people seem to like it.
I just had one tonight. However, I used Barq's root beer instead. I do not hate A&W root beer, but it's just lacking in that uniqueness that Barq's has with its root beer.
and for some reason one of the only franchises in my whole region that has crispy hashbrowns. I still find that weird, everywhere else is so sloppy and greesy in comparison
Why didn't you include that A&W where mostly drive inns back in the '70s, or that they were famous for giving you the glass stein they served the root beer in? Two fairly important points.
I grew up in Montana with A&W drive-ins. Their root beer is unlike any other root beer. When I was in college in Chicago I learned how to skydive in McHenry, IL. There was an A&W on the way to the jump school. I always stopped and had an A&W lunch with a frosty mug of root beer. I told friends that I was happy to make it my last meal if it turned out to be. And, by the way, my father told me A & W stood for amburgers and woot beer. I believe him. Of course, he also told me road signs in the Montana mountains that said "Watch Out For Falling Rock" referred to an Indian chief who hated cars. But, I still believe in amburgers and woot beer.
@@TheE23slack Other side of the mountain, Anaconda (1955-1963). So you know about Chief Falling Rock, and the A&W car window trays with the orange rubber mats.
Here's another fun fact for you. At least in Quebec, A&W are among the only restaurants that will make you a lunch/dinner meal in the morning, even though they have their own breakfast menu. They do warn us it will take a bit longer to prepare, but it is a great compromise for graveyard shifts workers such as myself who don't REALLY want to eat egg sandwiches for their dinner at 7-8AM.
I remembered going to one of the very last A&W restaurant with a drive through where you drive up and speak into an intercom and a carhop on skates would bring you your order.This was very interesting to watch. Thanks for the upload. 😊😎
Definitely a 50's/60's thing. What I remember best is the 80's. After finishing sledding /tobbagoning in the park on a very cold Canadian prairie winter was going with my father to A&W and warming up in the sunken dining room. They had this huge olive green cylindrical fireplace kept it real toasty and warm. Plus of course the good old days with trans fats still a thing where the oniin rings were coated in a thick crispy dark brown ring and seasoned beautifully. The modern version is thin, usually soggy and nowhere near as flavourful as the original. Taste looses out to health concious 90's. Boo!!! No surprise I have a soft spot for the franchise.
@@BabbleTop My pleasure! I am a big fan of A&W and their food and drinks. 😊😎 The place that I had went to was in Sacramento, as a matter of fact. This was back in the late seventies and early eighties.
A&W CANADA....been in love with their food since I was a kid. It was a real treat when my mom and dad took us to the drive-in. The ladies came out with the Papa, Mamma, Teen and Baby burger and with the tray of food which was hooked on to the car window!While the burgers were always mouth-watering, the star for me was and still is the onion rings!Amazing.The breading on them is wonderful.Never gross and greasy.Micky D's and KFC just leave me feeling sick upon completing a meal.I just can't digest the food.Too salty and greasy.A&W just serves a higher quality of food in my humble opinion and that hasn't changed since the 70's.GOOD ON YA A&W!😍
I do remember A&W root beer and Chubby Chicken!! A&W Chubby Chicken is currently available up in Canada; I'd like for it to be reintroduced into its U.S.A. locations.
Whoops. Lodi, California is pronounced Low-Dye, not Low-Dee. I grew up in Sacramento, just down the road. Also there is the Creedence Clearwater song "Lodi", with the line "Stuck in Lodi Again". Love that A&W root beer, especially in a float.
So neat, actually in Canada Hamilton Ontario they are very popular!! And the burgers still have their family names! ☺️, you can find all burger types from papa to mama .. baby and teen and both grand parents are all still available to purchase in that location!! 👍🏻
First, it's lode eye, not lode eee. OK, now with that out of the way, our A&W is merged with KFC. This is great! Good A&W drinks and fries with fried chicken.
McDonalds USA learned that the hard way. McSpaghetti was around in the mid-80s to the early 1990s in the US, failed spectacularly and McDonalds quietly gave up on it. Oddly enough, the only place it worked was ... in the Philippines and McDonalds' spaghetti has competed against Filipino chain Jollibee since the early 1980s Jollibee built a large part of their brand identity around fast food spaghetti and are trying to expand in the US in cities with small-to-large Filipino communities.
I remember going to A&W as a kid and it was still a diner type restaurant where they delivered the meals right to your car. The trays would kind of clip on the edge of the door when you rolled the window down. To this day we've still got 9 locations in a city with a population of 275k. McDonald's has 10 locations while Burger King has fallen to 3. Yeah, we have an OBSCENE number of eating establishments in my city. You could eat at a different location every night for about 10 months. That's a lot for such a small city. As for their rootbear; A&W Rootbeer is sold in nearly EVERY grocery store, gas station and convenience store in the city.
A&W in Canada is like Toys 'r us. Completely owned, operated and franchised independently. They have no relation to the US brands. The logos are actually different if you look closely.
Last summer I went to A&W restaurant in Greensburg Indiana to buy a gallon of root beer. A little blonde teenage girl came out to my van to take my order. When she came back with my calendar root beer she decided to take it back cuz she thought it was too full and she wanted to get some of the fizz out of it. So she returns in about 10 minutes with my debit card in my gallon of root beer short one glass and sticky all over the sides of the gallon where she had poured at least 8 oz of the root beer out. I'd ask her not to do this oh, but she did it anyway. When I returned home with my rooy beer it was flat as a board. There was no fizz in it whatsoever. I was beyond angry. A whole gallon of root beer of which I paid $8 for was totally ruined and not fit to drink all because a little teeny bopper wouldn't listen. I will never return to this restaurant again. I warned everyone that I could about the airport service and getting ripped off. I will continue to do so because I got no satisfaction. When I called the store to complain it was her again upon the telephone. You just can't get good service these days. A&w owes me a gallon of root beer. Do I think I'll get it, no, but at least the public will know how they treat their customers. BTW A&W was my favorite root beer.
How does McD’s and Wendy’s say they invented the drive thru? In-N-Out started in 1948 with a drive thru window. ONLY a drive thru window.... Wendy’s didn’t even start until 1969. And while the McDonald brothers also started in 1948, they didn’t open with a drive thru.
They are bully companies. They tend to bully others into staying quiet about how they came into existence. Just like Walmart bullied other stores out of existence.
I hate that almost all of the A&W restaurants have gone out of business in Los Angeles. I remember when my grandmother would take me to the local one and order me a small cheeseburger, curly fries and root beer float.
COME AS YOU ARE, COME IN YOUR CAR, TO A&W. When I was 4 or 5, their jingle came on the radio. I said I can't, I'm in the tub. My dad thought that was so funny he called the radio station and told them what I said. They laughed too.
When I worked at A&W back in the early 70s they offered dine-in restaurants that were a little above the classic "fast food" restaurant with table service, some were open 24 hours. Some were combined with the drive-in. They also offered French onion soup, fish platter, tacos, deep-dish apple pie, ice cream among other things. We had the foil wraps which keep your hamburger warm until you got it. An order was considered good when it was delivered to the customer in under five minutes. If you had to wait while the chicken cooked you were offered a free drink while you waited and the drink was refilled when you got your order. They don't do that these days, nor is the service the same. I love my A&W!
@Debbie It seems like their service was better in the late 70's compared to now, just kidding,😂 Then the best part is that they will give you free drinks while you wait, now that's impossible to do! LOL🤣🤪
@@BabbleTop I have to say that A&W was one of my favourite restaurants to work in, but then I had nothing to compare it to as it was my first job, I was fifteen at the time. I forgot to say I also wish they still took the time to toast the bun and that they would bring back the back bacon on the teen burger. The burger just doesn't taste right with the other bacon. I know it's a saving measure but you can only go so far on "saving" before quality is compromised!
Also the most expensive. A burger, a dozen of fries and a root beer will cost you around 15$ with taxes. For that price you can eat a homemade one in a real restaurant.
Their advertisements boasting no hormones or antibiotics is a moot point. NO MEAT SOLD IN CANADA is allowed to have hormones or antibiotics. It is as stupid as saying Cholesterol free bananas and having people buy based on that. No rBGH, no treated animals to be sold as meat, nothing. People are so ill informed.
@@MankindFails Papa burger, with cheese, fries and a root beer is $11. Far from the cheapest burger they have... McDicks is about the same, except it's garbage in comparison. Wendy's is meh. Does anyone even go to Burger King? A&W should be the number one burger joint in Canada.
@@Zero-Fox-Garage I dont eat in those places. I only eat at A&W cause I get coupons. For 11$ + taxes I can buy food for 2 or 3 days at a grocery store. I can also buy a 6 inches at subway and they'll give me change for my 5$. If it's as expensive in other burger places than they are all dishonest. 10 years ago you could get a trio for around 5$ and a club sandwich for 10$. Now a club is around 12$ but a burger trio 11$ ? That's outrageous. You can still eat a real burger with real fries in a homemade joint for less than that. Franchises like this are supposed to get discount prices for their products since they order way more than some average guy. Good place or not A&W prices offend me. Even when I do order there the discount I get from the coupon still offend me. It's like 4$ to 6$ discount... To think they still make money out of it...
i worked as a cook at A & W for a year when i was 18 (first job) in 2014-2015. I made the food we served to customers. I was impressed about how everything is freshly done in the morning. (lettuce-tomato-oignon rings). I think this is the healthiest fast food.
When I was growing up in the early '60s, A&W was THE place to hang out - it was at one end of the main "drag." The to-go containers (quarts I think) were cone shaped waxed cartons - so you could remove the tops and bottoms and use them as megaphones at football games, etc Icy frosted mugs, "Baby" mugs. Glass gallon to-go containers. Simpler times. Our long John Silver's here didn't opt to have an A&W connected to it as many LJSs do elsewhere. It went out of business a couple of months ago. Maybe they should have included an A&W after all. Thanks.
That why I love Canada! You can keeps your spaghetti and fried shrimps! Give me one teen and one grandma burger with onion rings. 💜Root beer straight, no ice
I hope your producers and editors get credit for how extraordinarily well made your videos are. The number of creative choices and individual clips made just in this video alone is staggering.
When I was growing up in the early '60's, a trip into A&W was a treat. My favorite was the Teen Burger, and they had the best root beer. We would also pick up a gallon of root beer for root beer floats. Heaven! Now I'm going to have to do a Google search for the nearest A&W. :)
I keep an A&W mug from the fifties or sixties on my desktop for pens, pencils, letter openers, etc, although I don’t like root beer or birch beer for that matter. Just found out from comments that A&W serve sweet potato fries! Lov’em!
BabbleTop Yes excellent synopsis of history of A&W. I didn’t know that they’ve been around so long. The food offerings made me wish there was an A&W restaurant nearby in the Hartford, CT, USA area. I do have friends in VT very close to NY state that I visit & I’ll check one out & maybe even have an A&W root beer for a change. 😋
The Beyond Burger is great... Can't wait to try it on the breakfast menu. A&W and Harvey's are the only 2 fast food restaurants in Canada that I ever go to anymore.
Here's an A&W song parody: (Sing this to the A&W theme song of the early 70's...at least in Canada). "Let's not go to A&W, foods no good at A&W. You ask for Chubby Chicken you get a rubber duck. You ask for hamburger and you get a pile of muck. So let's not go to A&W I can taste it now can't you. Get out of your car, stay where you are, away from A&W". This parody is at least 45 years old. I like A&W but it's expensive. Don't forget the baby mug.
In the United States, A&W Root Beer sold in stores are not owned by the same A&W restaurants. The restaurant was sold off in 1982 to A. Alfred Taubman, who later sold it off to Yum! Brands (Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut owners) in 2002, who sold it off to company franchisees in 2011. The soda was sold to Cadbury in 1993, who spun off its US soda operations to Dr Pepper Snapple Group, who recently got bought by Keurig (now Keurig Dr. Pepper)
I remember eating on A&W Grand Central branch here in the Philippines way back 90s and I noticed that it only has few customers but the place is huge. We ordered it's iconic root beer mug and it's delicious though that time I already felt sad cause it comes to my mind that this fast food chain will not last long here in our country and bear in mind I'm still a kid that time. 😓😓🇵🇭
In Canada root beer is bottled by Coca-Cola, Chubby Chicken is gone as well as their floats. Menu item are now being developed for immigrants like the Piri Piri potato burger and Masala Veggie burger made with Nanak cheese. Enjoy your teenburgers because they're going the way of the Late Great Root Bear!
yea I work at an A&W and the root beer isn't made fresh it's just bagged syrup that get's shipped in massive quantities. It would be nice if it was fresh though.
There's nothing quite like the Dub! I loved it back in the day when they would serve you in your car. You'd order, and when they brought your food, you'd roll the window down halfway and they'd hook the tray onto your window. Lots of great memories as a kid when my Mom would take my brothers and I out for a treat at A&W while shopping. I still enjoy them and think the Mozza Burger is the best fast food burger out there.
You can tell who's Canadian and who's American just by how they talk about A&W. Americans: I remember going there as a kid. Loved the Papa burger. Wish they were still around. Canadians: My city has 23 A&Ws in it and I eat it constantly because it's the best!
My parents built and ran an A&W from about 1954 to 1978. None of this was brought to the owners. They had Hamburgers, PizzaBurgers, Hot Dogs, BarBque, chicken, and shrimp..... Starting with 5c root beer, free baby root beer, Orange, coffee and various ice cream creations... This was in the upper peninsula of Michigan. They did on their own... and made a success of it all. Please don't make the corp look so good... They did nothing for their franchiese people but bill them for the franchise..
Don't have A&W in Lancaster, Ohio. My father who is in his mid 80's told me there used to be one years ago on the east side of town but closed years ago. Too bad I would of liked to tried their burgers. Take care, stay safe and GOD bless.
@Ben Shute It's not uncommon for international fast food chains like A&W to have menu differences between their locations in different countries. These variations often reflect regional tastes, preferences, and culinary traditions. If you'd like to share some specific differences you've noticed between A&W in Canada and A&W in the United States, or if you have any questions or observations about food and culture, feel free to let me know. 🍔🌭🍟
During the 70's A&W in Port Credit, On, Canada was where all the hotrodders would hang out on the wknds. My sister and boyfriend would take me all the time. Anyone remember Cody fries?
We just got an A&W in town and I tried it and it was really good I know I’m late to this video but thank u babble top u always have wonderful information 🥰!!!!!!
Two important points, in the 70s, we used to drive up to the A&W and order through an intercom box. The waitress (typically a teenager), would come out with the order, and hang the order on a tray (custom tray) on the car window. And the second point, we could buy jugs of rootbeer to take home and party with.
OH MY FKN GOD, the use of non fair use copyrighted content in this video is terrible. what the fuckkkk does Tommy Wiseau have to do with burgers. I get it, I do it, it's funny to throw in a few pop culture references but it's videos like this that will ruin it for everyone

Jerry Sa pepine yeah but Montreal has everything 5 guys, krispy Kreme, wendys, a&w and the best part la belle province
One correction, A&W Canada is 100% Canadian owned and franchised. It is not part of UniLever anymore.
Might be why they don't brew there own rootbeer
Thats why they suck in Canada
@@doomtrigger whats the difference though? a&w is good in canada.
Wow that's pretty interesting. So we took an American company for once

They are quite slow tbh. 10 minute wait isnt great
If I may I suggest that a&w all American food restaurant need a gluten free menus are udi's gluten free burger buns, and dairy free cheese slices for the beef, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles, and bacon with ketchup, and mustard, and udi's gluten free hot dog buns for the hot dog with chili, and onions, and ketchup, and mustard, and also blackened chicken tenders, and gluten free corndogs, and sorbet ice cream with gluten free wafflecones.
A&W Canada was formerly owned by Unilever. It's been it's own independent company since 1995.
Also, it's the #2 burger chain in Canada.
Ok
True, A&W Canada has not been part of the US chain since 1972... which explains why their menus are so different.
There's (or at least used to be) also 4 locations right in the Polo Park area! Talk about popularity
And despite the logos being somewhat similar, they are not really "the same".
I might add A and W shares have been a good investment and pay monthly dividends
I find A&W real good especially their onion rings and sweet potato fries. The Teen Burger is way better then the Big Mac or the Whopper.
Wait, they have sweet potato fries? In the US?
@@johnt6232 I don't know about the US but we have them in Canada.
I think that poutine would be a good menu option in Canada and northern USA locations.
@@paxhumana2015 The trouble with Poutine is that the gravies are so badly done. New York Fries does do some good Poutine with Butter Chicken and Pulled Pork Poutine.
@@paxhumana2015 I'd be down to try Poutine, but it doesn't sound right the ingredients just don't seem like they go together...
Here in Canada A&W IS ONE OF THE BIG 3! My friends and myself consider it #1 In fact where I live, (Central Alberta) it is probably the most popular restaurant around. (They ALWAYS have cars there, even at like 3 am)
To be fair Canada has far fewer options in the "fast-food" area. Less competition means a bigger slice for A&W here.
myheartbelong2oi true. A&W won’t be big if we have shake shack and In-N-Out here.
@@livefreeordiehard8898 Unlikely. In-N-Out only expands when they can afford to. They don't franchise, so they're entirely family owned. It's also why they're not across the USA. As for Shake Shack, they're more widespread, but are more of a fast-casual experience so not really the same market. Kinda like they haven't taken out McDonalds or Wendy's.
My Nana told me A & W meant Amburgers & Wootbeer....my life is a lie....
FYI...I knew the answer....
So cute,,,,thank you for a smile today :-)
gingerALE & Wamburgers.
actually made me laugh out loud :)
A&W is super popular in Canada it’s because they where one of the first fast food franchises to come to here, they have some sort of contract so that they are always in mall food courts as well.
It's good for a while and then you get sick of it...
@Cheeky bastard ! Sorry for your need to hurl a personal attack on an innocent poster. A&W Canada's menu is very different from the US as they are not the same company... and have not been since 1972. For the past several years the focus of the Canadian company has been to offer healthier food choices including serving only beef which do not contain hormones or antibiotics along with adding plant based burger and breakfast sandwich options among others.
@@kronogatez5995 same I don’t like it all of my friends don’t like it too Harvey’s and Wendy’s are way bether
My small city here in Canada has 5 restaurants lol
A&W is my favorite burger chain, I've been going to A&W since I could remember. Up here in Canada A&W has poutine. The poutine a little salty, but still delicious. A&W root beer has a special place in my heart. I don't know if the United States has them, but in Canada they have root beer suckers that taste just like the drink. Unfortunately you can only the find the suckers at A&W restaurants and not at mall locations.
I love Canadian that A&Ws have paper straws instead of plastic ones now, the past couple years they've been more environmentally friendly. That makes me love A&W even more.
Thank you for the amazing video, keep up the good work.
Thanks for your feedback! 😄

The A&W I work at have the suckers at the from register so I believe we do in the us
Years ago I was spending a few days in a small town East of Edmonton, Alberta attending a graduation ceremony at a small college. The town had an A&W where my son and I ate many of our meals. I was telling one of the staff about a friend of mine in Halifax, Nova Scotia who, unknown to me, was working as a cook in the kitchen of a local A&W. I had ordered a "Papa Burger" and when it came out it had so many patties that you couldn't close the wrapper it came in. It must have had five patties on it.
The young lady laughed and told me they had one that beat that. They called it the "Mammoth Burger" and it came with ten patties of meat. I asked if they sold many of them and she told me they sold a few but they had one person who would regularly buy one every week. Ironically he was an ambulance driver who lived in the area. I love the A&W Onion Rings (with extra spice), their Root Beer (in an ice cold mug) and their Burger Family but the "Mammoth Burger" would have been a bit much.
They must have really liked you, because a Papa Burger is two patties. The Grandpa burger is 3.
Canadian A&W > US A&W
A&W (Canada of course) far outweighs the competition for me! And the slightly higher prices are definitely reflected in the food quality. Who knew they were such innovative leaders in several areas of the fast food industry eh?! 😉
Thanks for your feedback Kyote 10! 😄

Sorry nobody lives in Canada. they closed up the whole damn frozen ass country and shipped it to Mexico. Stop talking about Canada and get some rest you got big loops under your eyes. Look at RUclips videos tomorrow.

I remember when I was young in the 80's they still had a drive in up in Edmonton Where you would park and get served, it was hot hod central.
My dad started off playing the mascot at an A&W he worked out. Eventually he worked his way up to manager.
When I was young A&W had service to your car. A waitress would come out and take your order, and deliver it to a tray that attached to your window. It was the root beer that drew people. They used real sassafras root in it which has health benefits and real root beer flavor. I had to have a root beer float when I went there. An American and Canadian classic.
I am from Qc and yes A&W do well without even trying hard on marketing, we like that it's hormones free and that they have a nice selection and still as no competition from either McD's nor BK's, we just miss the good ol'bear to be seen sometime...
Famous Fans:
American film maker Kevin Smith has been a fan of root beer, especially A&W, for a while. So much so that, in Canada, they raised his jersey to the rafters. As he stated in his special, Silent But Deadly, he frequently an A&W so often while up there shooting a TV show, the manager offered to display one of his shirts in the restaurant.
A&W root beer has to be the *BEST* root beer I've ever had! After watching this video, I think it's great that they're always trying to improve it and the rest of their menu! I actually didn't know they've been around for *that* long, it just makes the video even more interesting 👍

There is not a better root beer! And it makes the best root beer float ever! I had my first dozen, err hundred or so in Ithaca, NY! Great, now I am wanting one and it is 5 am!!
IMO, it's only better on Tap and served in a Frosted Mug. Once you start drinking it from a bottle there are numerous other root beers that are as good or better.
Don’t get it too go it’s worth going in too eat they give you a frosted glass it’s the best
Thanks for the info, A&W is one of my favorite burger chains of all time. Mostly because of their famous root beer!
Thanks for your feedback Gobl 943! 😄
Another great video, folks! I love A&W (I live in Canada) and I like their breakfast sandwiches (much better than McD's) and their onion rings are the best. Of course, the root beer is great. I was so happy when they brought out diet RB years ago. I always keep a case of it in my fridge. I bet if Homer Simpson tried A&W he would never go back to Krusty Burger ever again!
@ungratefulmetalpansy Not for me.
A&W fastfood breakfast in canada is astonishingly legit, even has proper classic options. Their fried hashbrowns remain the best in league. They're actually really crisp on the outside but the inside stays fluffy, and it's not really greasy. McD's tastes so cheap and bad in comparison
I work for A&W Canada, and I can tell you that the canadian version has evolved a lot towards real food and natural ingredients, they removed processed cheese, refined sugar from root beer, added vegan options, sweet potato fries, real hasbrowns, naturally smoked bacon (with cherry juice in it), they also removed butter from their condiments and added margarine instead. They sadly removed hot-dogs and whistle dogs, but hey, guess it was less healthy than a burger (and it's true).They changed a lot of things, the food there is high-quality (and so is the price high), but it is so tasteful, every burger has its own ingredients mix to add a unique flavor that people love! I look at the american a&w menu and I cringe, since there are a lot of weird options that seem different from the basic and simple canadian authentic menu.
Butter is healthier than margarine though #ScientificFact
What I like about the Canadian menus is they have the classic burgers that have been around for years and they don’t mess with them they perfect them and then they will add some new things but only keep the things that people love. It’s very smart the menu not big but it dose not need too be people come for there classics. Also the fires are the best I’ve tasted that’s just me the root beer is iconic and everything is made to be somewhat healthy or better for you it’s still fast food it’s not going to be 100% healthy. And lastly the food taste like food you actually say to yourself this is good why’ll eating it.
Of you're still there, what do you think of The Dill Mama Burger, honestly?
I stopped working at A&W Canada in March of 2021. However, I tried it, It's good, but nothing exceptionnal. Simply a bun with a patty, cheddar, creamy and spicy dill sauce topped with pickles
However people seem to like it.
🍻 Root beer and float...
One of the best beverages of all time for me. 👌
Thanks for your feedback Amien Fadhillah! 😄
I just had one tonight. However, I used Barq's root beer instead. I do not hate A&W root beer, but it's just lacking in that uniqueness that Barq's has with its root beer.
A&W Root Beer IS the best root beer in the world. ;-)
You are wrong its mug Root beer
Sorry, I have to fall on the side of A&W, though mug isn't bad by any means.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The egg and cheese, and bacon breakfast sandwiches in Canada are amazing.
and for some reason one of the only franchises in my whole region that has crispy hashbrowns. I still find that weird, everywhere else is so sloppy and greesy in comparison
Why didn't you include that A&W where mostly drive inns back in the '70s, or that they were famous for giving you the glass stein they served the root beer in? Two fairly important points.
Thanks for reminding me! 😉 Did you like the video Andrew Sanderson? 😄
They still do give out chilled steins at most franchises in Canada when you eat in.
I love A&W rootbeer ..the best rootbeer for me
A&W root beer is the best, hands down... the 2nd best doesn't even come close.
How can they even be considered a root beer vendor when they add ice to the cup? I left them when they no longer served it in a frosted mug.
I grew up in Montana with A&W drive-ins. Their root beer is unlike any other root beer. When I was in college in Chicago I learned how to skydive in McHenry, IL. There was an A&W on the way to the jump school. I always stopped and had an A&W lunch with a frosty mug of root beer. I told friends that I was happy to make it my last meal if it turned out to be. And, by the way, my father told me A & W stood for amburgers and woot beer. I believe him. Of course, he also told me road signs in the Montana mountains that said "Watch Out For Falling Rock" referred to an Indian chief who hated cars. But, I still believe in amburgers and woot beer.
Hello from Missoula!
@@TheE23slack Other side of the mountain, Anaconda (1955-1963). So you know about Chief Falling Rock, and the A&W car window trays with the orange rubber mats.
If Pete from Deadpool 2 can have a LinkedIn profile, Root Bear should be allowed to have one too...geeeeeez
Here's another fun fact for you.
At least in Quebec, A&W are among the only restaurants that will make you a lunch/dinner meal in the morning, even though they have their own breakfast menu.
They do warn us it will take a bit longer to prepare, but it is a great compromise for graveyard shifts workers such as myself who don't REALLY want to eat egg sandwiches for their dinner at 7-8AM.
Harvey's too
I remembered going to one of the very last A&W restaurant with a drive through where you drive up and speak into an intercom and a carhop on skates would bring you your order.This was very interesting to watch. Thanks for the upload. 😊😎
Thanks for the comment! This sounds so cool I've never seen an A&W like that, should be more restaurants doing carhop style!
Definitely a 50's/60's thing. What I remember best is the 80's. After finishing sledding /tobbagoning in the park on a very cold Canadian prairie winter was going with my father to A&W and warming up in the sunken dining room. They had this huge olive green cylindrical fireplace kept it real toasty and warm. Plus of course the good old days with trans fats still a thing where the oniin rings were coated in a thick crispy dark brown ring and seasoned beautifully. The modern version is thin, usually soggy and nowhere near as flavourful as the original. Taste looses out to health concious 90's. Boo!!!
No surprise I have a soft spot for the franchise.
@@BabbleTop My pleasure! I am a big fan of A&W and their food and drinks. 😊😎 The place that I had went to was in Sacramento, as a matter of fact. This was back in the late seventies and early eighties.
Thanks for your feedback James Satterfield! 😄
A&W CANADA....been in love with their food since I was a kid. It was a real treat when my mom and dad took us to the drive-in. The ladies came out with the Papa, Mamma, Teen and Baby burger and with the tray of food which was hooked on to the car window!While the burgers were always mouth-watering, the star for me was and still is the onion rings!Amazing.The breading on them is wonderful.Never gross and greasy.Micky D's and KFC just leave me feeling sick upon completing a meal.I just can't digest the food.Too salty and greasy.A&W just serves a higher quality of food in my humble opinion and that hasn't changed since the 70's.GOOD ON YA A&W!😍
I do remember A&W root beer and Chubby Chicken!! A&W Chubby Chicken is currently available up in Canada; I'd like for it to be reintroduced into its U.S.A. locations.
The Chubby Chicken name's been brought back in Canada, but it's not the fried chicken it used to be... just a sandwich.
Whoops. Lodi, California is pronounced Low-Dye, not Low-Dee. I grew up in Sacramento, just down the road. Also there is the Creedence Clearwater song "Lodi", with the line "Stuck in Lodi Again". Love that A&W root beer, especially in a float.

@@BabbleTop Yeah, I enjoy these types of videos. Always fun to get more inside information, especially about a California classic. 👍
why spaghetti? well think about it, it would cost them nothing to make, but like 200% in profits of return, maybe more.
McDonalds USA learned that the hard way. McSpaghetti was around in the mid-80s to the early 1990s in the US, failed spectacularly and McDonalds quietly gave up on it. Oddly enough, the only place it worked was ... in the Philippines and McDonalds' spaghetti has competed against Filipino chain Jollibee since the early 1980s Jollibee built a large part of their brand identity around fast food spaghetti and are trying to expand in the US in cities with small-to-large Filipino communities.
I remember going to A&W as a kid and it was still a diner type restaurant where they delivered the meals right to your car. The trays would kind of clip on the edge of the door when you rolled the window down. To this day we've still got 9 locations in a city with a population of 275k. McDonald's has 10 locations while Burger King has fallen to 3.
Yeah, we have an OBSCENE number of eating establishments in my city. You could eat at a different location every night for about 10 months. That's a lot for such a small city. As for their rootbear; A&W Rootbeer is sold in nearly EVERY grocery store, gas station and convenience store in the city.
You can buy A&W sodas here in Australia. 🙂
I love their cream soda.
Aslo Olsa cream soda is 🔥
A&W in Canada is like Toys 'r us. Completely owned, operated and franchised independently. They have no relation to the US brands. The logos are actually different if you look closely.
A&W and Harveys are some of the best fast food places in Canada....much better than 'The big three'

Last summer I went to A&W restaurant in Greensburg Indiana to buy a gallon of root beer. A little blonde teenage girl came out to my van to take my order. When she came back with my calendar root beer she decided to take it back cuz she thought it was too full and she wanted to get some of the fizz out of it. So she returns in about 10 minutes with my debit card in my gallon of root beer short one glass and sticky all over the sides of the gallon where she had poured at least 8 oz of the root beer out. I'd ask her not to do this oh, but she did it anyway. When I returned home with my rooy beer it was flat as a board. There was no fizz in it whatsoever. I was beyond angry. A whole gallon of root beer of which I paid $8 for was totally ruined and not fit to drink all because a little teeny bopper wouldn't listen. I will never return to this restaurant again. I warned everyone that I could about the airport service and getting ripped off. I will continue to do so because I got no satisfaction. When I called the store to complain it was her again upon the telephone. You just can't get good service these days. A&w owes me a gallon of root beer. Do I think I'll get it, no, but at least the public will know how they treat their customers. BTW A&W was my favorite root beer.
How does McD’s and Wendy’s say they invented the drive thru? In-N-Out started in 1948 with a drive thru window. ONLY a drive thru window.... Wendy’s didn’t even start until 1969. And while the McDonald brothers also started in 1948, they didn’t open with a drive thru.
They are bully companies. They tend to bully others into staying quiet about how they came into existence. Just like Walmart bullied other stores out of existence.
I hate that almost all of the A&W restaurants have gone out of business in Los Angeles. I remember when my grandmother would take me to the local one and order me a small cheeseburger, curly fries and root beer float.
Thanks for sharing this Melissa Skillens! 😄

"A N Dubbb" Canada is actual the bomb!
OMG, yesssss. There is a location right outside of Dog River, Sask., that sells the best burgers. Local beef.
COME AS YOU ARE, COME IN YOUR CAR, TO A&W. When I was 4 or 5, their jingle came on the radio. I said I can't, I'm in the tub. My dad thought that was so funny he called the radio station and told them what I said. They laughed too.
how can you be so outdated about unilever being the owner? Didn't do any research?
When I worked at A&W back in the early 70s they offered dine-in restaurants that were a little above the classic "fast food" restaurant with table service, some were open 24 hours. Some were combined with the drive-in. They also offered French onion soup, fish platter, tacos, deep-dish apple pie, ice cream among other things. We had the foil wraps which keep your hamburger warm until you got it. An order was considered good when it was delivered to the customer in under five minutes. If you had to wait while the chicken cooked you were offered a free drink while you waited and the drink was refilled when you got your order. They don't do that these days, nor is the service the same. I love my A&W!
@Debbie It seems like their service was better in the late 70's compared to now, just kidding,😂 Then the best part is that they will give you free drinks while you wait, now that's impossible to do! LOL🤣🤪
@@BabbleTop I have to say that A&W was one of my favourite restaurants to work in, but then I had nothing to compare it to as it was my first job, I was fifteen at the time. I forgot to say I also wish they still took the time to toast the bun and that they would bring back the back bacon on the teen burger. The burger just doesn't taste right with the other bacon. I know it's a saving measure but you can only go so far on "saving" before quality is compromised!
A&W in Canada is probably the best fast food restaurant, they use great ingredients with no hormones or chemicals.... Great place 👌
Also the most expensive. A burger, a dozen of fries and a root beer will cost you around 15$ with taxes.
For that price you can eat a homemade one in a real restaurant.
Their advertisements boasting no hormones or antibiotics is a moot point. NO MEAT SOLD IN CANADA is allowed to have hormones or antibiotics. It is as stupid as saying Cholesterol free bananas and having people buy based on that. No rBGH, no treated animals to be sold as meat, nothing. People are so ill informed.
@@geeyason Where can I get cholesterol free bananas ?
@@MankindFails Papa burger, with cheese, fries and a root beer is $11. Far from the cheapest burger they have...
McDicks is about the same, except it's garbage in comparison. Wendy's is meh. Does anyone even go to Burger King?
A&W should be the number one burger joint in Canada.
@@Zero-Fox-Garage I dont eat in those places. I only eat at A&W cause I get coupons. For 11$ + taxes I can buy food for 2 or 3 days at a grocery store. I can also buy a 6 inches at subway and they'll give me change for my 5$. If it's as expensive in other burger places than they are all dishonest. 10 years ago you could get a trio for around 5$ and a club sandwich for 10$. Now a club is around 12$ but a burger trio 11$ ? That's outrageous. You can still eat a real burger with real fries in a homemade joint for less than that. Franchises like this are supposed to get discount prices for their products since they order way more than some average guy.
Good place or not A&W prices offend me. Even when I do order there the discount I get from the coupon still offend me. It's like 4$ to 6$ discount... To think they still make money out of it...
We Need one again in Staten Island !!!

i worked as a cook at A & W for a year when i was 18 (first job) in 2014-2015. I made the food we served to customers. I was impressed about how everything is freshly done in the morning. (lettuce-tomato-oignon rings). I think this is the healthiest fast food.

Lowdee...
“Oh lord, stuck in LowDee again...”
“Lowdie” is how it’s pronounced. As in the CCR song.
"Lodi"
Also, how Lodi, NJ is pronounced
When I was growing up in the early '60s, A&W was THE place to hang out - it was at one end of the main "drag." The to-go containers (quarts I think) were cone shaped waxed cartons - so you could remove the tops and bottoms and use them as megaphones at football games, etc Icy frosted mugs, "Baby" mugs. Glass gallon to-go containers. Simpler times.
Our long John Silver's here didn't opt to have an A&W connected to it as many LJSs do elsewhere. It went out of business a couple of months ago. Maybe they should have included an A&W after all. Thanks.
You said Lodi wrong
(I'm from Lodi)
And it's Pronounced
Low/Die
Awesome video still
Good call, our mistake. I knew that too as the Diaz brothers are from that area! LOL
Oh Lord.

I got to dialysis with a nice lady called Laudi (pron Lordi).
Same. Not from Lodi but around the area.
A&W actually celebrated their 100th anniversary this year.
A&W has the best root beer
That why I love Canada! You can keeps your spaghetti and fried shrimps! Give me one teen and one grandma burger with onion rings. 💜Root beer straight, no ice
I'll keep my spaghetti and fried shrimp, you can take the fake meat burger. Fair trade lol
I hope your producers and editors get credit for how extraordinarily well made your videos are. The number of creative choices and individual clips made just in this video alone is staggering.
When I was growing up in the early '60's, a trip into A&W was a treat. My favorite was the Teen Burger, and they had the best root beer. We would also pick up a gallon of root beer for root beer floats. Heaven!
Now I'm going to have to do a Google search for the nearest A&W. :)
I just wish we could get their Cream Soda at the restaurants in Canada. It's so good. But still love their burgers and rings. Root beer too.
maybe one day!
If your looking for a burger its one of the best quality ones you can buy from a fast food restaurant here in canada
my mind is blown away that the us dont have the family buggers
I keep an A&W mug from the fifties or sixties on my desktop for pens, pencils, letter openers, etc, although I don’t like root beer or birch beer for that matter.

I do have friends in VT very close to NY state that I visit & I’ll check one out & maybe even have an A&W root beer for a change. 😋
The Beyond Burger is great... Can't wait to try it on the breakfast menu. A&W and Harvey's are the only 2 fast food restaurants in Canada that I ever go to anymore.
The beyond burger is terrible 🤮 it smells bad and had a terrible aftertaste lol I don’t know how anyone can eat that shit
Wow not one mention of the iconic speaker in parking lot and server coming to your car to serve the food on a tray at your window .
Bring back Rooty!!
Here's an A&W song parody: (Sing this to the A&W theme song of the early 70's...at least in Canada).
"Let's not go to A&W, foods no good at A&W. You ask for Chubby Chicken you get a rubber duck. You ask for hamburger and you get a pile of muck. So let's not go to A&W I can taste it now can't you. Get out of your car, stay where you are, away from A&W".
This parody is at least 45 years old. I like A&W but it's expensive. Don't forget the baby mug.

In the United States, A&W Root Beer sold in stores are not owned by the same A&W restaurants. The restaurant was sold off in 1982 to A. Alfred Taubman, who later sold it off to Yum! Brands (Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut owners) in 2002, who sold it off to company franchisees in 2011. The soda was sold to Cadbury in 1993, who spun off its US soda operations to Dr Pepper Snapple Group, who recently got bought by Keurig (now Keurig Dr. Pepper)
Lodi California. It's pronounced Low-dye.
Also true of *Lodi, New Jersey*
I remember eating on A&W Grand Central branch here in the Philippines way back 90s and I noticed that it only has few customers but the place is huge. We ordered it's iconic root beer mug and it's delicious though that time I already felt sad cause it comes to my mind that this fast food chain will not last long here in our country and bear in mind I'm still a kid that time. 😓😓🇵🇭

A&W is the best fast food chain in Canada hands down
it stans for ambergurs and woot bear.
not albert and walter
Ambergurs and woot beer.. Lol :D
This is my childhood. When i was a kid i love A&W more than jollibee. They had their franchise here in the Philippines 🇵🇭😊
Where? Not seen one.
A&W was founded in Lodi , pronounced lowd- eye not low- dee. Come on do your homework.
CCR: "Oh, Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again."
I was born in Lodi....I am getting used to people out of state saying the name incorrectly.
A&W is and always has been the best tasting root beer I have ever tasted.
In Canada root beer is bottled by Coca-Cola, Chubby Chicken is gone as well as their floats. Menu item are now being developed for immigrants like the Piri Piri potato burger and Masala Veggie burger made with Nanak cheese. Enjoy your teenburgers because they're going the way of the Late Great Root Bear!
yea I work at an A&W and the root beer isn't made fresh it's just bagged syrup that get's shipped in massive quantities. It would be nice if it was fresh though.

A&W is one of those tv shows that you used to watch but forgot it even existed.
@OK Jeffy A&W, the TV show that's the perfect mix of nostalgia and root beer floats. It's easy to forget, but impossible to forget completely. 📺🍺😊
There's nothing quite like the Dub!
I loved it back in the day when they would serve you in your car. You'd order, and when they brought your food, you'd roll the window down halfway and they'd hook the tray onto your window. Lots of great memories as a kid when my Mom would take my brothers and I out for a treat at A&W while shopping. I still enjoy them and think the Mozza Burger is the best fast food burger out there.
You can tell who's Canadian and who's American just by how they talk about A&W.
Americans: I remember going there as a kid. Loved the Papa burger. Wish they were still around.
Canadians: My city has 23 A&Ws in it and I eat it constantly because it's the best!
very true😅
My parents built and ran an A&W from about 1954 to 1978. None of this was brought to the owners. They had Hamburgers, PizzaBurgers, Hot Dogs, BarBque, chicken, and shrimp..... Starting with 5c root beer, free baby root beer, Orange, coffee and various ice cream creations... This was in the upper peninsula of Michigan. They did on their own... and made a success of it all. Please don't make the corp look so good... They did nothing for their franchiese people but bill them for the franchise..
A&W in Canada tastes so fricking good, it's honestly top tier for fast food restaurants
Cool! 😉 Did you like the video buses and stuff I guess ?
Don't have A&W in Lancaster, Ohio. My father who is in his mid 80's told me there used to be one years ago on the east side of town but closed years ago. Too bad I would of liked to tried their burgers. Take care, stay safe and GOD bless.
I just found out about A&W south of the Canadian border and genuinely gave me culture shock looking at the differences in the menu.
@Ben Shute It's not uncommon for international fast food chains like A&W to have menu differences between their locations in different countries. These variations often reflect regional tastes, preferences, and culinary traditions. If you'd like to share some specific differences you've noticed between A&W in Canada and A&W in the United States, or if you have any questions or observations about food and culture, feel free to let me know. 🍔🌭🍟
During the 70's A&W in Port Credit, On, Canada was where all the hotrodders would hang out on the wknds. My sister and boyfriend would take me all the time. Anyone remember Cody fries?
We just got an A&W in town and I tried it and it was really good I know I’m late to this video but thank u babble top u always have wonderful information 🥰!!!!!!
Two important points, in the 70s, we used to drive up to the A&W and order through an intercom box. The waitress (typically a teenager), would come out with the order, and hang the order on a tray (custom tray) on the car window. And the second point, we could buy jugs of rootbeer to take home and party with.
A franchise in Colorado used to have the best deep fried chicken tacos
james sisneros sounds terrific
OH MY FKN GOD, the use of non fair use copyrighted content in this video is terrible. what the fuckkkk does Tommy Wiseau have to do with burgers. I get it, I do it, it's funny to throw in a few pop culture references but it's videos like this that will ruin it for everyone
