    Root beer
    Tara S.

    Great trip down memory lane! Frosty root beer in their classic mugs was refreshing on a hot summer day. I ordered the "Papa" burger with chili cheese fries and it was decent. Restaurant had a great "retro decor." Our service was good and fast. The restaurant was very busy during the lunch rush. Food was decent.

    $18.50 for a chicken tender meal deal? $15 for a cheese dog meal deal? Crazy.
    Faith J.

    Good root beer floats, absolutely outrageous pricing. $18.50 for a chicken tender meal deal at a fast food restaurant is comical.

    What's not to like? Classic A&W in a small town, complete with table service instead of ordering at a counter. You can also get take out or order at the drive up carhop style area. We stopped in on a Friday night and were promptly greeted and sat. Our server took our orders and food was out in under 10 minutes. I got the olive burger and cheese curds. The olives were a super generous portion which I loved. Cheese curds and ranch were indulgent and tasty. Plus a huge icy mug of my favorite, diet root beer! My husband also enjoyed his burger and chili cheese fries. We'd definitely stop in again if we were in town.

    We don't have these locally where we are from anymore but the taste brings me back to childhood. And still having the drive-in is always fun. The food was amazing as always and of course a root beer float is a must. Thank you for the blast from the past.

    Birthday Lunch!

    My Ry wishes to have his birthday lunch here so that is what we did! This A&W has been a special place for him growing up summers here. We had a delicious lunch with desert. The Root Beer taste is just as we recall it from our childhood. Thank you to the kind staff and the area was clean. They have a drive way. We sat inside and it was nice and cool. Bathrooms are clean. We will stop by again!

    Burger & lots of fried food!

    Cute and very retro with the drive in / eat in your car options. We decided to eat in. Walking in the door there is a huge display of the different kids meal / root beer mugs they had once given / sold. Very cool. You order at a little counter and they call your name to come pick it up or maybe they brought it out... can't remember. The girls working were polite and happily answered our questions. Burgers, sides & rootbeer floats for 4 cost close to $50 We would have like to buy the glass rootbeer mugs, but they were out of them. They had a jukebox in the dining room, but it wasn't working We had a fun time eating there & would go again.

    Date of visit: 12/17 Lunch I can't believe I haven't yelped…read moreJoes yet! Consider this a Winter review. It is usually so packed in the Summer, it was strange to have the place to ourselves. We ordered multiple burgers (olive burgers & bacon cheeseburger) plus sides (tots & rings) to go, the roads were bad and the rest of our family begged for carryout. That's fine - we each had a Bloody Mary while we waited! Delish. Jessica (general manager) who took our order and made our drinks, was great. She was funny and helpful - timed everything well and made sure we had what we needed. The ambiance is warm and woodsy. New discovery: the restaurant is open for breakfast! I look forward to trying their breakfast on a future visit!

This visit was interesting because the place smelled like overcooked onions, and the pancake wasn't very cooked. The food was served greasy, and had little-to-no seasoning. I didn't complain, as the server was clearly not in the mood to be bothered by customers. We had to ask for silverware, butter, and waited for more than 10 minutes for the check. There was only one other small table of 2 besides our table of 2. She and the other waitress were too busy on her phone to pay attention. The host ended up getting her to give us a check. Maybe it is a good place for dinner or beers. I won't go for breakfast again.

    Came for dinner last night after hearing rave reviews from friends in the area. The burgers were…read moredelicious, but that is where the positives end. The service was painfully slow; the young woman waiting on our table was stretched way too thin. It took about 15 min to order drinks and another 15 before they came. We ordered fries to share and burgers, subbing side salads since it sounded delish. Fries came out lightning fast but the portion was TINY for $10 - we had to flag down our waitress to order a second round of drinks (which she didn't even stop to ask if we wanted the same or not, just sprinted away and put them in); when she returned with this round we ordered more fries (accepting we would end up paying $30 for fries...absurd). Burgers came out; as mentioned before these were delish -6oz is a great size and bun was quality. Side salad portion was pathetic. About 6 lettuce pieces with a few toppings sprinkled on. After finishing, we again flagged down the waitress as she blew past and asked for the check. We got the bill and were appalled. For the drinks (vodka with a splash of cranberry; tequila with soda and a splash of lemonade; scotch on the rocks; all served in small cocktail glasses) not only were we charged for the alcohol - but also the mixers as if they were full sized glasses of cranberry and lemonade instead of a 1oz or less splash. Even more ridiculous was being charged for ICE (yes, you read correctly - ICE) in the scotch. Round that out with side salads being priced $1.50 over what was listed on the menu and we concluded we will never be back nor recommend.

Slabtown is an…read moreabsolute 'must' for any burger lovers visiting TC; especially in the summertime when you can sit outside on their porch or surrounding patio. It's an old house that has been transformed into a burger destination. The inside is cramped, especially in the order area when they're busy, and indoor seating is tough to come by at peak times. The service has never been anything short of excellent on our visits. The staff is welcoming, helpful, patient, and friendly. Service is quick, even when they're slammed. Phenomenal burgers, O-rings, tots, and sweet potato fries. The Northwood's DRAFT (not fountain) root beer is a perfect pairing with their burgers. Slabtown's menu of specialty burgers is enormous and the BYO options include different protein choices and excellent GF buns. I've tried many of their burgers, but have to say that the Slabby Patty on a pretzel bun and the Pungi's Pepper Patty really stood out as a couple of my favorites. For a really sinful (and unhealthy) treat, ask for the gravy tots. Oh brother...insanely good but definitely a guilty pleasure. We've sent tons of our friends and family here, and I can tell you that every one of them has thanked us for the recommendation and raved about their burgers. So what are you waiting for? Get yourself to Slabtown!
