    A&W let's stop here... pee break for all 4 of us; 2 previous rest stops were closed.

    3 hour drive from Vegas. Midway point before EddieWorld. Lots of snacks and a travel business inside. Busy use of restrooms for road trippers on this MLK 3 day weekend.

    We didn't have the best experience here. They were out of 4 items on their menu. The seating area was closed although it seemed clean and functional. The bathrooms were nearly out of stock of everything, except toilet paper that was just placed on the side railing rather than in the holder. To end on a lighter note, the employee was polite and the food tasted fine!

    i think it's like the second or third time i've stopped here (?) we got a large strawberry shake it tasted naturally sweet yom

    Plain hamburger for $8.00

    What could improve yelp asks? Well EVERYTHING! We ordered a hamburger, hotdog and a regular float for all this we paid $23.00!!!! And what did we get for that price? Plain hamburger with pickes, mustard and ketchup (about $8.00) also a plain hot dog with no mustard or anything else ($5.00) the best thing was the float, but I noticed that their ice cream machine looked dirty. The hamburger was tasty but not 8.00 tasty. Overall I would not come back to this a&w location.

    Small space located next to a gas station with drive-thru available. Was craving fried chicken tenders so made a quick stop. We each ordered the 3 piece with fries, chocolate shake and rootbeer float. Service was effective and received our order quick. They had different dipping sauces available; honey mustard, bbq, spicy papa sauce and ranch - they were all just ok, nothing to rave about. I enjoyed the fries and although the chicken tenders were a big size, they were also just ok. IMO they could've been fried a bit longer as they were not crispy enough but thats just my preference and what i was expecting. I had my own buffalo sauce, which made the chicken tenders tastier. May or may not return, haven't yet decided, but they do need to carry their own spicy buffalo sauce. The dipping sauce makes all the difference IMO.

    Me and my girls needed to make a restroom stop as we were coming back home from Vegas and landed at A&W. We were intrigued since they're known for their root beer and decided to check it out. It's connected to a gas station mart. We order the chicken tender combo and they came out hot and fresh. The French fries were well seasoned too! Honestly didn't come in with high expectations but left pleasantly satisfied.

    Stopped on our way home from Vegas all excited for good 'ol fashioned A&W rootbeer. Tap was out of order! They gave us fountain root beer! There IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE! Ordered a $7 cheeseburger, got a 59 cent Mc Donald's burger! You know the ones with ketchup and a pickle slice only! I actually went to the counter because I thought they gave us the wrong burger! Girl looked at me like I was stupid. She was right! I was stupid for stopping here in the first place! NEVER AGAIN!

    yummmm

    boy they raised the price!! i got a regular french fry, onion ring, cheese curds and drink was $25. are u freaking kidding me?! i know its like a tourist trap but whatever i cant get over that. i wasnt a huge fan of the sauces. the onion rings had a thick breading on it. the fries were gross and the cheese curds were good but greasey. the rootbeer float was good but it wasnt actual ive cream it was like soft serve yogurt

    Double mushroom Boyga was delicious

The young lady working there seemed unsure about which flavors were actually available and had crossed off some that were still in stock. When I tried to confirm the flavors, she gave me a noticeable teenage-style side eye, which was frustrating considering there was already confusion about what they had available. She had also turned a couple of people away before us, only to later realize she had made a mistake, which I didn't think was fair or funny.(she laughed) I would definitely come back for the popcorn and other treats, but the ice cream is probably a no-go for me after this experience. I had been looking forward to my butter pecan after making the trip, and maybe the service affected the experience, but it was mid at best.

I right away noticed the other car just came out of the drive thru and was told the same as well. That lead to our food being opened and handled. There is no need for this to happen Jack n box. It's Barstow and should be easy in and out. Well it was not. I immediately went inside to inform my food was given to the wrong customer and was given immediately an attitude. Manager came out with an attitude as well and made no eye contact, just said "give me your credit card you used" without letting me explain for feedback so this would not be the case. The workers are all not motivated and dropping pans and kicking them around. Shit is nasty and crazy in there how bad it is. I am so glad I did not eat food there with how it's handled. Do not stop here go to the Baker location much better experience.

First, and probably the most important, they don't have Diet Pepsi, but Pepsi Zero. And Pepsi Zero is just awful. And yes, I tried it. I admit that I'm a fan of Coke products, but I'll survive on Diet Pepsi, never, but never Pepsi Zero. So that alone makes me not want to come here anymore. This trip, the girl taking our order seemed confused. Maybe she was new? But it didn't help that we had to explain we wanted a bowl of Chili, and even though it's not on the menu, they could sell it. I personally didn't want a burger this time, so I ordered a chicken sandwich, which is basically just chicken tenders on a bun. Not very impressed, but it wasn't as bad as Pepsi Zero. They do get credit for having a "senior" menu, which I ordered from. And I appreciate that they have tater tots. It seemed like a smaller portion, but it was actually perfect for me. I'll keep checking back, but if I see they still only serve Pepsi Zero, I might be walking over the McD's for my drink.

We came in on a Friday afternoon, around lunchtime, and were surprised to see that the place was busy! There are a lot of tourists that stop by - and rightfully so, as they have decorated the place very uniquely. We were told the wait for a table would be around 20 minutes, were handed a beeper, and were encouraged to wait by the gift shop. The gift shop offers Thrifty Ice Creams, other sweet treats, and so many different merchandise items! It was definitely a nice stop to stretch your legs and to browse around. After our beeper went off, we were escorted to our booths and met our waitress. It took her a while to come by and help us with our orders. I mean, it's lunch rush; the place inside is loud, a bit chaotic, and honestly, it just has a charm on its own. Their walls are tacked with pictures and posters, and I love the little fact booklet showing how much everything cost back in 1996. Finally, after placing our orders, the food came! We ordered grilled cheese with French fries for the kids, tuna melts, NY steak strips, and root beer float. The kids' meals were solid; they loved them, and the root beer was great and refreshing! I loved that it came first so that we could enjoy it on a really hot day! So the float was much needed. The tuna melts and the steak itself were really good, great even. The sides were okay - the corn that came with the steak seems like it came out of a can; the mashed potatoes were dense and heavy, and while it may be a great solid side, it was a bit too heavy and a bit saltier than our preference. The tuna melts came with French fries, which we upgraded to onion rings. The onion rings were delicious; we'll need a bigger portion next time! The soup of the day was clam chowder, and we appreciated that it was delicious. We were initially missing a few things for the table, but our waitress checked in on us multiple times and eventually got us everything we needed. She also explained that their dishwasher was down or having an issue, but even then, they got through the lunch rush that Friday afternoon. We finished our meal and walked through the gift shop toward the back of the diner. There, we found a duck pond with 3 ducks and a lot of turtles in the water who seemed hungry, as they approached us immediately when we looked at them, plus some neat statues and a stage! Overall, it is a neat place to stop by at least once! If you don't have time to sit down and have lunch or dinner, you can always stretch your legs in the gift shop and perhaps enjoy a thrifty ice cream or a root beer float.
