I love the root beer and I actually used to work for a frozen food warehouse in Hebron, KY that stored numerous restaurant/fast food goods and A&W was one of their several customers. Never have seen one locally though. The last and ONLY A&W I have ever seen was in Gatlinburg, TN last year... We almost stopped and tried it, but we'll be back there this year so I'll have my chance.

It's only open 9 months a years because it's a drive-in, but do have a small dining area inside. Pretty cool place but a tad expensive. Food is always good though and their coney sauce is killer.

My God, I haven't seen one of those in over 30 years.  I LOVED the one we had back home.  It's been a long time......do they still have the original A&W stand food, or is it this new shit you see thrown in with Long John Silvers?

They did a marketing renaissance/rehaul here in Canada, the past 3 years and they are MUCH better as a result.

I don't eat fast food often at all (MAYBE once a month, if I'm lucky lol), but in Calgary, to try and save on the cost of food, I would always use meal coupons that we'd get in the mail and A&W was the most prominent and plentiful coupon stack that came in.

They are absolutely delicious and the root beer is still as incredible as it always was. The oil doesn't taste old/unfresh, the chicken is beautiful (only eat chicken) breast meat/clean mince and their fries are great too, not to mention the cajun salt stuff... superb.

Last ate it though when I moved back to Toronto, in July (we had the coupons so it was our lunch and dinner {and breakfast once!} for most of the trip)... I miss it! lol and there are even a bunch of locations all around me...
