Lost in the shuffle of the busy Metrotown food court is this small A & W. Looking up when you get here they have the statues of the 'burger family' and if you just want a burger from them, you can either eat here, or walk over to Station Square, on this day, we decided to come here.
I'm always more fond of the self location ones more than the food court, and one of the reasons is how the burger comes out. We ordered two 'Teen' burgers, with fries, and when I opened the bagged package (for those of you who have never had a burger from A&W they wrap their burgers in a bag!!) the burger looked like someone was playing Cooking Mama on 'MAX' difficulty, and needed to just put the right pieces in the right place to build a burger. The burger pattie was almost half way off the bun, with the bacon sliding to the other side, and the top of the bun was barely sitting on this whole display of burger art. I should not have to re-position burger parts when coming to a fast-food joint!
The fries came out fresh from the oil, as they were piping hot, something that always seems to be the case at A&W, and I will give them props for that. As I said, it's alright if you need the quick fix, but for me, I'd still rather go to their restaurant locations. read more
