    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!

    Service and ice cream was great. Prices were reasonable and staff was super friendly and helpful…read more My 6 year old granddaughter said it was the best ice cream in the world

    When we arrived, we were greeted by the owner. He was very nice to us and very accommodating. He…read moregave us quick direction on where to go and how it works. You order food on the left and get ice cream samples on the right. You can get ice cream samples upon request. The building is small and quaint. Still needs some repairs and cleaning in some areas, but not bad for the most part. Restroom is a one person room. Very small and also needs some repairs, but it wasn't bad. The building is kinda touristy and fun with the coloring and style. I'd love to see them swap out some of the small booths for more tables. They're much easier and more comfortable for larger people like myself to sit in. Now on to the food. Everything except maybe the hotdogs were frozen and just warmed up, but we expected that. The crinkle cut fries were cooked perfectly. They made my husband a cherry Coke and he said it was delicious, addictively so. The owner made it with Coke and maraschino, cherry juice, so I'm sure it' was good. I probably should've had a taste before he finished it. Our hotdogs and burgers were all overcooked quite a bit. The burger had no seasoning that I could taste. The hotdog I ordered had chili, cheese, onions, and jalapeños. They forgot my onions and jalapeños, but brought them after we reminded them. They also forgot my son's cheese on his fries and his side of ranch, but brought them after being reminded. The owner even made a comment when we placed our order that we might have to remind them to bring certain things out. He made it seem like the Cook doesn't remember to read the entire ticket when she's preparing the orders. The owner and his granddaughter, and occasionally the Cook, kept getting into little arguments about where things were and who should be doing what. It was really awkward and noticeable since it was so quiet in the restaurant, even with the music playing in the background, and some of the arguments were directly in front of us. There are definitely still some kinks to be worked out here. All in all, I don't know that we would seek this place out to intentionally eat here, but it's good in a pinch, if you're already in the area.
