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

Cheese Curds

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.

Fast Food restaurant at a truck stop [Tonopah NV]…read more On the way home from Vegas we stopped at this truck stop gas station in Tonopah NV. Chester's is located inside the Loves Travel Stop. We just wanted to get a quick bite so we didn't have to make another stop elsewhere (except maybe at a rest stop). Chose a couple of Super Tenders and Chicken Bites (tossed in Frank's RedHot® Stingin' Honey Garlic™ sauce). It had a little kick to it. I was pleasantly surprised... the chicken was pretty good, juicy, white meat chicken! The gal at the counter was helpful and nice and she was fast too. They have indoor table seating available. It was quite busy that afternoon. Situated next to Godfather's Pizza Express. Review #3536

It's been near a year since we passed through Tonopah. Still so happy the gas station open here. It…read moreis the cheapest gas in town. Decided to get some fried chicken from Chesters again. I was impressed with the last visit. There was a bit of a line for food after I got gas. Still the line went pretty fast. Very friendly counter. What I ordered: Four piece chicken tender. For about two dollars more you can get a combo which includes a large drink and a choice of sides.. the sides were potato salad, macaroni, potato wedges. I went for wedges and a lemonade. Chicken was crispy on the outside and moist steam on the inside. Just the way I like it. $13 with tax. That would be a bit steep in Reno, however, on the road, getting traveling food, not a horrible price. Definitely will stop again lol!

There were a few customers ahead of me who seemed a bit unfamiliar with the whole quick-serve pizza setup, asking a ton of questions and taking their time to decide. It slowed things down, but that's part of the travel stop experience with people coming through from all over. Eventually they allowed me to go ahead of them. Through it all, Kevin at the counter remained calm, patient, and pleasant. He stayed attentive when it came time to ring up my order, which I really appreciated given the circumstances. It's not always easy handling a steady flow of travelers with different needs and questions, but Kevin kept his composure and delivered good customer service.

If I could give less of a rating, I honestly would. Came in to order some bacon cheese sticks and…read morewas told a wait time of 10 to 15 minutes the outside of the building and the name here on yelp is express on the very end of the name of the company. It took about a half hour for us to even get an update on what was happening. My boyfriend came back into the establishment 15 minutes after we had ordered because the person that took our order told us that amount of time when he came in they said that they didn't even start the order yet. I walked in after 25 minutes and asked if there was an ETA and the lady just kept telling me that they were in the oven with no exact time and I asked for clarification for an exact time and she got an attitude and said well it's almost out of the oven. I definitely will not be back to this establishment Whatsoever.

The parking lot ,albeit small was very tidy, all carts were contained , upon entering , I was warmly greeted by an associate, asked if I needed any assistance in locating what I was after, and then left to myself, to.make my selections. Great selection, good sales, in fact the cashier asked if I had an account or if I was a member of their "price club" I answered "no" and they ran their personal discount card allowing me to save about 14$ ,which helped immensely.

Once again, I pulled up the Raley's app and they have no chips ... that is correct. They do not have Lays potato chips, ruffles, Doritos... nothing listed in the app so we can check any sales or specials. I remembered that this happened last year and sure enough... they have lots of chips and they have sayles but it's just not on the app. It is strange. Family Dollar, right next-door does have an app, and they list Snacks and my wife wanted to go there, but I told her I'm pretty sure Raleys will have some good snacks. It's just they don't put them on the app. I wonder how many people skip stopping at Raleys because they think they don't have chips lol. We also bought some fruit, drinks, and stuff from the deli. If I hadn't taken a chance, we would've stopped at Family Dollar next-door and just got drinks and snacks and Raley's would've lost some business.. Again, as a year later, I suggest actually listing items you have in the store on the app so we can shop using the app .
