Hadn't eaten in an A&W in forever, but the burgers are solid and the root beer in a frosted mug is just right. My husband got a float that was just overflowing with soft serve! Staff was helpful and friendly. Would certainly come back for a casual and nostalgic meal. read more

My buddy and I came here on our lunch break. We were only looking for something quick and light- so we skipped the combo meals and got 2 coney dogs each. Ooey-Gooey goodness to the max! These simple chili dogs did the trick! Chili, cheese, and onion on a steamed dog in a steamed bun- delicious! We also ordered 2 large root beers which were served in a frosted glass mug! The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. We were very satisfied with our visit. read more

I've used their drive thru service lots of times and the food is always good. Today I dined inside. It's a nice clean, well run restaurant. Service is great. Servers are pleasant. I changed it up this visit. Instead of the usual burger or hot dog, I ordered the codfish basket. It comes with fries and Cole slaw. Also ordered their chili. All very good. Washed down with their terrific root beer, of course. I would definitely recommend this A&W restaurant. read more

I hadn't been to this A&W for years but was driving down Route 31 towards Batavia to head to Portillo's and was just about to stop to get gas when all the ads on the windows caught my eye and I thought to myself "well, they have burgers and onion rings there. Maybe I can save myself a trip?" And so as I was pumping I looked over the menu on my phone and noticed another ad saying I could get 20% off my first online order. Seeing that they offer a spicy version of their Double Papa Burger at a better price than other burger spots was the first indication that my gut may have steered me in the right direction. Considering I was getting a little discount I decided to go ahead and get the double cheeseburger with bacon combo with fries and a root beer float and a single chicken tender and some onion rings. I placed the order and drove back over to A&W. I have to say that I was kind of surprised at how clean the inside of the restaurant was. I seemed to remember it being pretty lived in. The workers were all really friendly and told me my order would be ready in a moment and I got a wave of nostalgia to my high school days when I saw them go to the tap to make my root beer float fresh. Everything tasted great when I got back home. The burger patties and bacon were cooked well and the spicy sauce was a nice touch but I especially appreciated not having to go through the trouble of adding my own peppers. Their fries are fine but I suspect they probably taste better right out of the fryer. The onion rings were crispy and big and definitely a hit. A surprise standout was the chicken tender. The seasoning and crispiness of the batter and quality of the meat was great. I am kind of kicking myself that I hadn't really thought of stopping by A&W more recently but I will definitely consider them for future burger nights. read more

Seeing one of these still existing made younger me jump for joy. I use to always go to the Woodfield mall location when I was a little girl so I was excited to see one near my brother-in-law's house. My husband and I grabbed a quick meal here through the drive thru. Because of lent we ordered chicken and fish which surprisingly was yummy. We also got cheese curds and root beer floats. Gobbled it all up. My only issue is that once we pulled around we saw advertisements inside for shrimp and fish & chips that weren't on the drive thru menu so that sucked because I would've gotten the shrimp. read more

It was a little nostalgic for me to see A & W, so I stopped in for lunch. Haven't been to one in 5-10 years... Service (5/5). An elderly lady was coughing pretty hard and the manager came by to check on her. Then the power went out, and the cashier came by and asked if we were ok. Frosty mug (5+/5). Root beer in a frosty mug, what's not to like? Refreshing, cold, sweet, and good to the last drop. Papa burger (5/5). I asked, and they didn't have the mama burger--my go to for years. But the papa burger with 2 patties is a quality burger. The toppings just go together. Nothing stood out, just good. Fries (3/5). Hard to compete with a large Ronald McDonald salty special! I would go back just for the root beer. The burger was icing on the cake! read more

There is nothing better than a frosted mug of draft A&W rootbeer. Very clean restaurant and friendly staff.

I was hungry for a hotdog and a nice cold root beer that was a real hot day and I needed a bite to eat and something to drink. I stopped there went in trying to find value meal or something like that very difficult to find that information so I just ordered a hotdog and a root beer and it was like five dollars or something over there at it. It was I thought expensive for what I just received, the people were OK and when I went up to ask him about some of their specials and things they were helpful I asked if they had free refills and they do and I got a free refill and sit back down and enjoy the air conditioning, but there needs to be a better way of being able to look through their offerings and come up with a choice that meet your needs read more

First time trying A & W. The food is made fresh and this place almost reminds me of Culver's. Burger Pattie's are thin but very tasty and all of the ingredients is fresh. The fries were very crispy and seasoned well. However the portion of fries is small just like Culver's. My only complaint is the combo meals don't come with drinks. They charge you separately. I didn't know that when ordering and the guy asked what I wanted to drink assuming that it came with the combo meal. So beware that drinks are extra so that does make this place more pricer than other places. Regardless the food way was very good especially for a chain place. read more

The food was great! They even had a vegan Beyond Burger! The food was fresh, the service was fast and the employees were nice and patient.

Delish!!! Poppa Burger is the Bomb! Exactly how I remembered as a kid. The root beer in the frosty mug is still amazing. Fries are nice and fresh. Totally recommend a stop by for the food, the nostalgia, the service, the ambiance & to relive those childhood moments and share new ones!! read more

I've seen this place in other states, but I've never tried them. Never seen them b4 in IL that I can remember. I stopped in because I was starving & tired of driving honestly. The burger was horrible. Frozen patty boring unappealing patty that I requested WELL DONE, which wasn't it was so GROSS looking! My chicken fingers were DELICIOUS!! Fresh & hot I'd definitely love more of those. The service was pleasant too. I was in & out quickly! read more

Great cheese curds! Root beer is always cold and refreshing. This location is on the cleaner end of the scale too.

We love coming to the North Aurora A&W. They make their root beer in the restaurant. The food is alway fresh and hot. The staff is friendly and courteous. The dining room and restrooms are clean. read more

I expected better from my memory if A&W restaurants in the past. I've only been once and haven't returned. I felt like I was served a regular Oscar Meyer hotdog from the grocery store. In my opinion as a comparison a simple Costco hotdog is better than what I received with my order of a Chicago Dog. Fries were cold and I went through the drive through so I don't know how inside looks. The person taking my order seem pleasant, efficient and fast. read more

Great food. Love coming here. I feel they need to update to sidewalk. The curbs are hard for seniors to handle. There is also no ramp for wheelchairs. Sad read more

A&W Restaurant is phenomenal! The best fast food restaurant here in this area of Aurora. They also have the best burgers and fries that I have ever had! Their burgers are fresh, meaty, flavorful, and yummy. Their fries are crispy and tasty. Plus, it comes with a very cool and refreshing drink. They also offer some sundaes, root beer, nuggets, hotdog sandwiches, coleslaw, cheese curds, and others. Everything was great and delicious. They have everything that we are looking for and expecting from a fast-food restaurant. They even exceeded my expectations and I am really impressed. The whole place is wide and organized. Once you enter you can see their big menu and food selections. They also have a big statue of A&W inside their place. The tables and chairs are perfectly aligned. The interior is bright and gives a nice vibe. They also have outdoor seating that is very enjoyable. You can eat your food while watching the cars and people passing by. Definitely a gem in this area. This is the place for all of us. I would definitely pay a visit here again when I got some free time. I will bring my friends and family so that they can also experience how great this place is and its food selections. Kudos to all of you! You all did a great job. See you again guys! Thank you! read more

Fresh and hot. Provides coupons. Fast drive through service. Order was correct. Pleasant employees.

Always fast on their feet with great service. Very professional and are always working hard. I would recommend coming here if you want good food and consistency, also the staff here are such hard workers. The burger is fresh and tasty and the French fries are never greasy or over salted. And the root beer is great. Best fast food experience I've had in quite a while I already love A&W Restaurant in this location, goes above and beyond in every way. Service is quick and my order is always perfect even when it's super busy. You no doubt will love this place. Very recommended. read more

We absolutely love this place and everything about it. If you are familiar with the place, we always ring the bell to denote and excellent experience during every visit.

It's fair to say that we frequent A&W as they've been our baseball sponsor for the last two years. So we've made a lot of post-game trips with teammates and other teams. Our way of saying thank you for helping North Aurora baseball. That aside, we'll continue to stop in. Nothing beats an icy mug of root beer on a warm summer day. Cheers read more

I love this place and stop by anytime and within 5 miles. When I was a kid A&W's Were more common than McDonald's. And I like them better because they had chili dogs. If you stop you must absolutely try their onion rings. The best on your end you ever have, they're crunchy and the onion ring doesn't slide out of the crust and slap you in the face. Make sure you have some on tap root beer also. read more

Coney Dogs are misunderstood because they have an identity crises. All too often, they have to take the bad rap associated with a chili dog. However, that's a culinary story for another time boys and girls. A & W serves a "mean" Coney with an addictive sauce that's sprinkled with sweet onion and served on a bun softer than a baby's bottom. They serve a unique soft drink as well...but you know that! read more

A&W's are one of those places that even a bad franchise is better than most other fast food places. Fortunately this location is not a bad franchise, quite the opposite. This may be one of the nicer A&W's I have ever been too, and I assure you as I travel for work I have been to a lot of A&W's. Give me a Papa Burger, some cheese curds, and a large root beer and I am in heaven. We need more places like this in Illinois. read more

I love this place. So very clean. The staff is super friendly and the root beer floats are the best ever! We live in Lake In The Hills and go to Aurora every three months and every time we go we stop here and we are never disappointed. read more

Well where do I even begin? Ahh how about the nicest employees in the world. Walked up to the cashier only to see a smiling glowing face looking towards my direction. I ended up ordering half the menu. Once I bit into the crispy yet oozing cheese curd my heart skipped a beat. From that point on I fell in love. It was a little hot on my warm taste buds so I cooled it off with a sip of my gigantic root beer float. One word for this float.... creamy. Let's not forget the fries, tenders, and burger I ordered. Let's just say wow we. I'm not gunna lie the food gave me the Hershey squirts the next day. But the food was sooo good I slurped up my Hershey squirts and it tasted the same. Call that a bogo Hail A@W read more

What I love about A&W is that they always deliver the same quality. Ordered a Mama burger today - perfectly cooked with a fresh bun and all the right condiments just a good hamburger from A&W. The location of this A&W is super clean and well run staff are smiling and doing a great job and keeping us coming back. The customer service here is awesome and ambience is great and I feel very positive every time I come here. I've never had this kind of experience anywhere else and the food has never disappointed me here ever. read more

A&W is typical fast food: cheap and greasy. However, compared to other places that serve similar fare, everything tasted fresh (as in, fresh oil was used and food was cooked to order). I had the chicken tenders, which were lightly breaded and piping hot, as well as the cheese curds which were SO good. Why aren't there more A&W locations anymore? The A&W root beer has a better flavor than that Barq's crud. If you dine in, your root beer is served in an enormous, frosty mug. Refills are free. The restaurant is designed like an old diner, and there were a lot of people here during lunch time. The location isn't really close to shopping, even though it's on a main drag, there isn't much else around, so people are definitely coming for food over convenience. There's a drive-thru too. I paid less than $10 for my meal, which satisfied both my appetite and wallet. read more
