    people eating at tables
    Andrew S.

    I needed to find food for my digestive system and was running low on energy. A&W Restaurant was the only food place that was nearest to me in the Tanger Outlet. Service was pretty slow, and the restaurant tables and garbage cans were full and messy, but the staff were friendly and cordial. The fifties music was a nice change from listening to more popular choices, and the ice cream treats are still popular. The cheeseburger was about average in taste, but it worked to satisfy my food craving. I wonder if I could order a kids meal next time without being hassled of being over qualified?

    Chicken strips $12.59 no drink or side.

    Stopped in after doing a bit of shopping in the Tanger to get some quick food. My bf got 5 chicken strips and a drink and I got 10 corn nuggets with a drink. He said his chicken strips were "ok" my nuggets could have used a few more minutes cooking. The lady that took our order was kind of rude and snappy. I was going to get root beer from the tap but it was awful I had to pour it out. Most of the drinks on the soda machine tasted like they had no carbonation and the counter was quite sticky. Seriously thought what kind of A&M's restaurant has bad root beer? Our total was $27 even and for the amount of stuff we got it should have been a lot less you can go to zaxbys or slim chickens and get a whole meal with 6 large strips for the same price you get for only 5 small strips here. Save your money and eat elsewhere.

    An empty restaurant even though it's dinner time on a Friday night.

    Food is great here, but I'm astounded by how the customers are treated. We came to the restaurant at 6:25 pm. We're told they had no ice cream because the machine was being cleaned. We wanted root beer floats. Cashier said she started breaking down the machine at 6 pm and even (unhelpfully) suggested that we should have come before 6 pm. Thanks, no thanks. She said that they close at 7 pm. As we're sitting here, we saw a family of 3 come in then walk out because they were told, too, that they are not serving ice cream. We overheard them saying that they drove 5 miles to get here just for the root beer floats! So, that was lost sales for one party. It's now 6:36 pm, and we witnessed a family of 4 adults enter. As soon as they stepped foot through the doors, the cashier hollered from the counter, "We're only serving fountain drinks. No food. kitchen is closed." Who yells from across the room? What kind of way is this to greet the people who pay your paycheck and the restaurant's expenses? The family walked out. So that was another party of lost sales. What kind of restaurant closes their kitchen 30 mins before closing time? And closes down their ice cream machine an entire hour before closing? At this rate, this outlet of the iconic brand of root beer won't be here much longer. I'd be curious to know what the branch manager has to say about these observations.

    Love the 50's murals and music at the A&W tucked into the corner of the Tanger Outlet Mall! Great shrimp basket and burgers partnered with A&W diet root beer makes a tasty shopping lunch! Great place to stop even if not shopping!

    Lady with pink/purple hair was not very hospitable especially with her being at the cash register taking orders. This was my first time coming here on a family visit to branson and i was very upset at the way this visit went. Food was okay.

    We stopped by while checking out tanger outlets. We got a root beer float and a strawberry shake, a long with some quick eats. Overall the visit went well.

    The food is good for a fast food restaurant. Very causal restaurant, but the staff was friendly enough.

    Great food!!! The food here is fresh. For all those people who complain about water, there is a water fountain that they suggest going to!

    This is the second time I've gone here. First time, our group got a large order of chicken strips…read more They were steaming hot big thick strips of chicken with a little breading. We each got 4 strips, and I was barely able to eat two. There are a lot of sauces to choose from. I got the classic ranch, and garlic Parmesan. Both delicious. This second time around I tried the poutine and the Ozark Street corn. Absolutely delicious. I am craving both the poutine and street corn again right now. The fries on the poutine had a nice mix of soft and crispy. For dessert I got the apple cobbler. It was nice and warm, sweet but not overly sweeet with a scoop of vanilla. The food came out fast too.

    We stopped in for lunch because they have patio seating and we had our dog with us. We both ordered…read morethe fried chicken, my wife the 2 piece white and I had the dark. Sides were side salad, mashed potatoes and gravy and Ozark street corn. The chicken was very good. Crispy skin. Tender juicy meat. Cooked perfectly. I would have preferred white gravy on the mashed potatoes but they were still very good and the portion was large. My wife enjoyed the side salad but I would probably order something other than the Ozark street corn. It was good. Just not what I enjoy. Overall this is probably the best place in Branson we've found if you want a fried chicken dinner.

    Food was delicious, my drink wasn't brought out early - ordered a Prickly Pear Raspberry; buy the…read moreperson that brought my order had it to me super quick. :) I didn't get any photos, it was pretty busy. The paper towel dispenser wasn't advancing , so I'm fortunate I got some out.. but the other restroom seemed to be okay by the number of people that used it instead - as friends said they had trouble with the towels. Very good overall - still enjoying the last of the drink and "running around town".. :D Thank you Jessie, for your help with my order; very professional, knowledgeable & courteous!

    Wow. I mean I'm not expecting a lot at 2:30am, but if you're going to be open, don't suck this…read moremuch. Firstly, there was no one to take the order. There were 2 kiosks, one was broken and the other didn't work very well. As an employee if you saw customers struggling maybe offer to help? Or just keep talking to each other through your headphone things. The workers here chose the second option. The only staff member visible was cleaning (poorly) while telling the person on the other end of her headphones how the manager yelled at her for crumbs being left behind. "Well if he says anything tomorrow I'm going to tell him it was the customers here" while skipping a dirty table completely. Even with the worker "cleaning" the place felt dirty. Because it was. There were a couple flys around the soda machine, and a couple more by the two booths. I chose a table in the corner. There were a couple of dead bugs (small winged, not flies) on the windowsill) it was the only table that *looked* clean. 2 restrooms...one with an out of order sign. The food was fine I guess. I don't want to think about it too hard. There was ketchup on the outside of my burger wrapper...so that was fun to get on my hands just taking it off the tray. ‍ And for the record, I do like whataburger as a chain in general, but this one was rough. Oh and on the kiosk it asked about things like ketchup and sauces.... if you're going to let me add these things to the order please actually include them instead of me having to go ask for them. Or just keep them out?
