    Strawberry ice cream shake.  Perfection.
    Star M.

    We saw this A&W classic while walking on Main Street in downtown Tonopah, Nevada. After two disappointing ventures in local cuisine, I was just going to get a milkshake. I ended up rather enjoying the cheeseburger and the fries were fresh. Just not my favorite style. The cashier was wonderful. I would definitely go back! I did go back. The second time back, I got another shake. Just as good as the first! We were* going to buy the little root beer mug/ glass as a souvenir, in which they had available. This cashier however, was quite rude, said they were closing & we couldn't get the glass / after just informing us of the cost, basically kicked us out so ... I don't understand that. I suppose the service is 'hit or miss'. The ambience is that of a fast food joint set in a casino type building off the main road. Down the stairs there's a ladies room which is so much nicer than I was expecting. Hope this helps ;)

    So good!!!

    Great, friendly service. Fun chili cheese dogs and fries. And, of course, the best rootbeer in a giant chilled mug! So fun!

    WTF is this?

    This particular A&W has been going downhill. I don't know what they served me, but that does not look like what I ordered. At least they have a messed up the chicken tenders yet.

    This is the best place we have found to eat while charging our tesla and getting back on the road quickly. We have stopped several times and it is always clean.

    I just visited this location on Monday and my experience was great! The staff were very kind and the place was clean. I enjoyed the food as well! The cashier was a very sweet young lady and she complimented me saying I was very pretty and looked like a superstar :) I didn't get a chance to ask her name. If you are reading this, you made my day! Follow me on Instagram @londen_1

    The staff and fellow guests were so kind and helpful. From meal suggestions to driving directions. The food was freshly prepared and delicious This soda was the so good, for those that know me; they know I don't ever drink soda pop.

    I haven't been to an A&W in probably 40 years! We were on a road trip and passed through Tonopah and decided to stop in and stretch our legs and have some ice cream. Located next to a Casino on the main drag, this fast food venue is obviously a local favorite. Social distancing encouraged with tables taped off to ensure 50 % capacity. We ordered a vanilla cone and a hot fudge sundae, both for $3.74. Well worth the price! You couldn't buy that much ice cream in a carton at the grocery store for that price.

    Honestly it was better than I expected. Great for passing through and getting fast food that isn't dry or too greasy.

The pulled pork is tender, but the real magic is in the impossibly tender tri tip, and the Ribs are great as well. The chicken sausage is juicy and sweet, and the Mac and Cheese is gooey, cheesy, and totally awesome. If you're trying to take a roadtrip, time it so you get to eat in Big Pine because this just might be the best stop up the 395!
