I grew up in my small city of Union City, OH. The picture I attached is our actual A&W. This stand has been there since I remember being a little kid. So at 50yrs old, its been there awhile. As far as the menu, I don't think it has changed either. Although, the owners have it up for sale so when/if they sell, it may change at that time. They have been running it since the beginning.

Yes, you still get it like that here.

We finally got a Sonic here, I took the kids when it opened and I thought it was garbage....

It good food thats for sure which is why much more expensive.

yum

We stop in for rootbeer more than we stop to eat. They still sell it by the gallon as well.
