    ShaynaLynn ..

    Service is quick and the girls are always so nice/friendly. This is a cash only spot so to avoid ATM fees make sure you grab cash before coming here. Outside seating only so watch for weather ! It was a little chilly when we came but still enjoyable. A bit over priced BUT you get what you pay for.. they make up for it in quality and quantity (large portions, everything is cooked to order, fresh and delicious!)

    So I never tried A&W and I was craving a burger so I stopped by. First off they are cash only - sometimes this is good because you think it will be a little cheaper - wrong assumption. Next they promote their onion rings- bad decision- 5$ and they are flimsy and greasy and in pieces! The mushroom cheeseburger was greasy and soggy! And to be honest there was no flavor. The two came to 16$ and change and wasn't the best. Wendy's definitely beats this place. But the service was nice and she had a great smile. But overall thanks for the one visit.

    I stopped here today because I haven't seen an A&W in 30 years!! So classic, tray on the window, waitress comes to the car. Our waitress was Alyssa an absolute doll and she was the best part of the experience. The food is ok but it's a little over priced. Solid 4 stars!

    It's a fun spot if you are feeling nostalgic but with that in mind I don't think the recipes or menu has changed in the past 100 years. My last visit wasn't so pleasant as I felt the employee was trying to rush me through my order and just wasn't listening to my order but pretty happy with the root beer floats! Pro tip: Get chili cheese fries. Add then on top of your burger. You can thank me later.

    An classic old style A & W !!!! Turn on your lights as your car pulls in and a server comes to the driver's window for car service. Our server was very polite patient, and professional. Want an old style very cold mug with frost on the glass? They have them for dine it, and for purchase. They also have homemade onion rings. There are other less common sides including clams and corn dog bites. For those who want something other than a car dinning experience, there are picnic benches in a covered area. These are close to the bathrooms. The parking lot has more than ample parking. We loved our classic root beer floats, homemade onion rings, hot dogs and corn dog bites. We will be back ! That says a lot as we drive a good distance from Massachusetts to Rhode Island to this pleasure. So for some classic old time fun and food try the Smithfield A & W !

    We had seen from another local shop that A&W was open and doing car side orders. My son swears he has never been - but he has, we've gone like four times together when he was little (at least) after our Apple picking trips - maybe he was too young to remember. But anyway - he had requested a trip a while back, and today seemed like a good day to fulfill that. I got a Bacon cheeseburger combo - and the burger was so good I wish I had ordered a second, even though I'm pretty sure I would have regretted it. I guess it's for the best. My son got the chili cheese dog combo - and loved it. He LOVED his fries - he said to me "wow these fries are great, you think Wendy's fries are good? These are so much better" (he knows Wendy's is usually my fav fast food fries) That real cane sugar root beer hit the spot. Our server was working her butt off - it was packed and hot out today (well, hot as compared to some days this week) and she was out there moving quickly to cars, trying to pay attention to which car came first, bringing menus and taking orders like a champ. I recommend this place whenever they are open - but they are handling the quarantine excellently, so maybe take a ride and park your car and throw on a mask and sit comfortably while you wait for your food.

    This is probably my least favorite McDonald's in the area. The employees are polite and friendly,…read morethe food is average - pretty much what you expect from McDonald's, but the traffic pattern and the wait time at the drive thru is what keeps me from giving them more stars. The traffic pattern is just really weird and kind of tight to maneuver. McDonald's shares a lane with CVS, and to get to the McD's drive thu, you have to momentarily pretend you are in the UK and drive on the left side of the road. The drive thru line also blocks access to several of the parking spaces, so you might want to think about how you are going to make your exit before parking here. The drive thru line is almost always 5+ vehicles long, and this is the only McDonald's where I'm frequently asked to pull over and wait while my order is prepared. Often it takes upwards of 7-10 minutes for it to come out, so what was intended to be a quick stop to grad a bit of food often turns into an ordeal. Lastly, leaving the drive thru area is also tough, as often people who are sitting in line waiting to place their drive thru orders are backed up so far that you can't exit. It actually might be faster to go to another location given the traffic flow and the wait time here.

We started with the Chicken Marsala Stuffed Mushrooms, which were packed with rich, savory flavor. I ordered the 'Shroomy Grilled Cheese, and it was next-level comfort food; gooey, earthy, and perfectly balanced. My husband and aunt both had the New School Smash Burger, and they couldn't stop raving about it. Every dish was bursting with flavor and truly "to die for." Our server, David, made the night even better. He was attentive, upbeat, and genuinely kind; an overall great spirit with a fantastic attitude who elevated the entire dining experience. David even brought us some of their popcorn, which was so delicious and such a fun extra touch. We loved the food, we loved the service, and we will definitely be back; highly recommend.

We ordered EVERYTHING, Literally... Hubby wanted steak, son wanted wings, pizza, other things and I had on my Fat girl eyes and just wanted all the things. I was torn on the wing flavor and the waitress (who was a F***ing riot by the way, I Love her)! suggested the maple, I didnt Love love them, but they were good. The pizza was ok, could have been cooked like a moment more. The Shroomy grilled cheese for me was the best thing on the menu. Hubby said the steak was just meh, but he is fancy, we take his reviews with a grain of salt, LOL... The decor and vibe of the place was great! Its big, misleading from the street, but there are rooms, and hallways, and more rooms! Super cute, but it does get busy, Make a reservation. Get the Brie Crostini, I remember that being great, and now Im drooling!
