I really like A&W. usually. COBOURG's A&W is such a painful experience. Every time I go, which is less and less, it's the same crap experience from beginning to end. An EXPENSIVE crap experience! $13! Today was no different. Go to drive thru at 12:30pm. Order a lettuce wrapped mozza burger, rings, root beer. Just a regular order sans bun. This is all they do all day, so why would it take nearly 8 minutes to shove in a paper bag and hand it out the window. Restaurant had maybe 6 ppl inside and I'm the only one in drive thru. I'm already prepared for this wait, it's the regular crap experience, so I take the time to clean out my purse and my car. Finally I get the food. I leave. I park to eat. These lettuce wraps are slippery little devils! But they are so good. The thick iceberg lettuce cradles it and it's cold and crunchy on outside and hot beef and cheese inside. You can picture it right? Delightful. Well not today my friends, it was not a delightful day and it is the reason I'm leaving the first bad food review in my life! See pictures. Imagine my sad then angry face! You tell me how you pick that up and eat like a burger? The scarce lettuce was also limp in places.
I did catch a glimpse of an email posted that was asking for feedback on that location. So for all I know, this could be the day they got new ownership and just suck momentarily.
Maybe in a few months I'll decide I'm way too happy right now, so let's try and ruin it by going to A&W! Lol read more
