This is got a single-handedly be one of the best a&w root beers from the '80s all the way until now I've ever been to amazing food fresh delicious reminds me of the old days with the car park menus and ordering outside and having it delivered to you.

I pulled up to drive-in ordering window 15 minutes before closing with three hungry kids excited to get burgers and root beer floats. No response from employees. We could see the employees in the back of the restaurant. We waited five minutes while my kids looked up an alternative nearby, Hi Boy was a few minutes away and they sell burgers and shakes, so on our way out we noticed employees had the back door open and we could them three employees standing around laughing and having a great time. Giving this place one star for poor service and atmosphere. Our experience at Hi Boy was excellent, we showed up 3 minutes until close and felt welcomed by the multiple employees. Thank you so much A&W at East 40th St, my kids are now Hi Boy fans. It's only 2 minutes away from A&W. My kids are happy, I'm happy.

Great service and food but the restaurant needs fixing up. The bathrooms were disgusting. The beverage dispenser does not work. No condiments were available. Had to request them.

It's August 2022 and dine in service is stopped because they only had two workers.And why do the have the worst smelling, filthy bathrooms in city? Been this way for years.

I do not recommend this place at all. The whole place was filthy, the people were friendly but their uniforms were nasty. The food was burnt and wasn't even what was ordered. 0 stars for this place.

The drive thru was cash only, seemed a bit shady to me. Very little food for what they charge and the fries very, very greesy. Fish have been getting chintzyer over the past year or two. I get inflation but hike prices and keep the food the same. Not both!!

Very understaffed had to wait at the speaker and again at the window, order was incorrect even though we repeated it several times

Hot fresh food. Good service.Edited a week later when we went back***Bacon was extremely undercooked, burgers did not taste good like the last time. Fries soggy and undercooked as well. Super sad to spend $40 for bad food

Got a grilled chicken sandwich and it was HORRIBLE. Chicken was small and rubbery and the bun was old and falling apart. Expected a little better quality for a $7.29 sandwich! ?
