A&W is always there when you need it. Quality food. Friendly service. It's PRICEY but their French fries are 10/10.

It took between 15-20 minutes to get two hamburgers and 2 fries,2 small drinks. We wanted to get a larger drink and larger fries. No we can't upgrade either of those. You just need to order a larger meal. No concern of how the customer felt. It closed the window and walked away. It didn't used to be that way there. read more

Probably the worst onion rings I've ever had. But had to find something to eat fast and it was fast. That's the one Star.

For me a $16 burger at a drive through is just not worth it at all. The patties were basically see through that's how thin they were. We were on the road and hungry so we sucked it up and kept it moving, the best part of it was the delicious crispy fries even though they were a bit salty for me. I'd probably not come back read more

A&W Restaurant - The kids love the root beer floats - Fast Food Near Me - Exeter, California

Stopped here on a trip, The burger tasted like fish! Im so disappointed, the workers were nice gave us a free root beer float!

Ordered chicken sliders x 3. Received chicken sliders x 2 Had to go back to the restaurant to get the missed order. This is the 4th time they got our order wrong. The food was inedible.... Way too much salt. Do not recommend!! read more

My food is always fresh there can be a wait when going through drive-thru but the food is always worth the wait and the workers are always polite. read more

Whether I'm in Exeter, Visalia, or Tulare, the food is consistently very good and done just right. This review is specifically about the Exeter location and in particular about the outstanding service from the young man who took care of my order. It seemed to me to be a very busy time, but he never lost his smile, even when things seemed a bit overwhelming. That is so rare most places these days, but this guy just shined all the way from beginning to end, even though my order was somewhat out of the ordinary. A big shout out to Marcos (at least that's the name on my receipt)!! Keep it up and don't lose your fantastic attitude. read more

it was busy they got my order done in a quick time. the crew was very nice and friendly. the food was very fresh

We were driving out from Mineral King and spotted this place and immediately felt a collective wave of nostalgia for frozen mug root beer floats. Dating back to happy childhood memories we sat & enjoyed the taste we all knew as kids and laughed away while recalling childhood road trip stories. What a fun experience to share with good friends read more

A&W used to be one of the best places to eat. It just isn't any longer. So much has changed. The pickles are no longer good. The burgers are touch and go.... Depends on who is cooking and if the crew is on their game. The fact that they got rid of their original crispy chicken sandwich and chicken strips and went to these soggy (not crispy) replacements - BAD MOVE And what happened to the best grilled chicken sandwich ever?!! Another reason not to eat there for me. The root beer mugs are never frosty - they used to be - and the root beer doesn't always taste that good. The wait for your food is usually long and employees just act as if they don't care if you are there or not. It makes me sad. Do better A&W! Go back to the way it used to be. Where quality of food and customer service mattered. read more

They have the best onion rings and the best cheeseburgers. I have really enjoyed the Exeter location because they do not short you on the amount of onion rings in a large order. I really like the ranch dressing and the cheese curds are yummy as well. read more

A blast from the past! In a world of tofu burgers and low calorie meals and all sorts of healthy choices, Im glad that places like A&W still exist. A great burger & fries joint (with the chicken patty options) that's been around for decades, still knows how to treat their customers and leave you completely satisfied with a hint of guilt. Had the Classic Burger with fries plus a frosty mug of root beer with ice cream. KA BOOM! The perfect meal for a road trip vacation! Juicy burger and more fries than you'll ever need. The staff was super friendly and are convincing with the "up sell". Good job team. Misc: A&W will sell you a gallon of root beer in a clear container if you'd like. Place is super clean too. Overall: A&W is a great place to satisfy your inner pig and I mean this is a positive way. I mean if you live a descent clean lifestyle and you need a respite form it...by all means get hooked up here! Go big! Cheers! read more

We stopped in for the draft root beer since there are a limited number A&W's left and the service was friendly and fast. We came in for the root beer but ended up ordering the shrimp basket, onion rings, ice cream cone, and chili cheese fries. Pre-dinner snack? Our order was made fresh and the restaurant was clean. Nice place to sit and watch the cars go by in this charming town. read more

Absolutely terrible service. I get times are tough and people don't want to work but the employees didn't even acknowledge us. We were THE ONLY customers standing at the counter and in the restaurant at all. I stood at the counter with my parents waiting to order. We were never acknowledged, greeted, or even so much as looked at. After almost 10 minutes of being ignored we left and drove to Super Burger in Porterville where the food is always delicious and employees are friendly. We will never be back. My suggestion is spend your money somewhere it's appreciated, not here! read more

I went there last Friday with a group order for 4 people. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was great and there were no problems. I will be going back soon. read more

The hamburger was good the servers were good we had their special thanks A an W there is a burger that's got everything on it at a great price read more

The wait was average in the drive thru but the prices are comparable to a restaurant experience as oppose to drive thru or fast food and let me start with negative by saying do not order their cod sliders. The bread was smashed and stale and the fish was overcooked on one and under on other(soggy batter). The coleslaw was average. The fries and root beer float yummy for sure. $13 plus for 2 inedible sliders ( I tried) and fries, coleslaw and a float. The customer service excellent as expected and if I went with traditional food probably would have enjoyed my first trip since covid quarantine times. Next time a float and fries or a chili dog. read more

Love The #1 With Chillin Cheese Fries And Large Root Beer Float And A Ice Crone For My Kids

Best thick milkshakes ever. Always had very pleasant service. Burgers are great as well....

We passed by this restaurant on the journey to and from Sequoia National Park. Desperate for food, we drove on through rural landscapes and the occasional small town and lemonade stands. (They still do that?!?!?) We spotted this restaurant on our way there, and ate there on our way back. Tired and hungry after romping in the woods for days, we pulled in the restaurant. Evoking a quiet, homey feel, but with the speed and efficiency of a fast food restaurant, we sat in a booth. The server was kind and courteous, and our food came quickly- myself ordering a bacon burger and a float. While drinking that delicious goodness, however, it spilled on the tables. The man working kindly helped us clean and gave us a replacement. He was very helpful, and I was impressed at the service which was given at a typically fast-food place. By then I was thinking: I wish there were more of these restaurants where i'm from! The burger, with bacon-y goodness, was very yummy, but I curiously found a *blond hair* in it........? Not something good. At all. Oh well- like the guy in Super Size me- i picked it up and threw it out. But- five stars for the service. Maybe that hair was a fluke. Anyways, I recommend it, for the people are extraordinarily kind! Is that a small town thing? read more

Me and my family went to the drive thru today, i didn't get the employees name who took our order but he was a younger guy with a softer voice, he sort of rushed us through our order no big deal, the food also took a long time again not really a big deal, but what got me the most is that he dropped my ranch on the floor picked it up and handed it to me, instead of just getting me a new one then slammed the window in my face like he was in such a big hurry when it was dead inside. Besides that, the food was very good. Good job to the cooks read more

The only good fast food chain in Exeter, A&W still offers fresh hot burgers with cold lettuce like the good old days. The location is super convenient if you are driving through and there is ample room to park a travel trailer or RV. You cant go wrong with a good burger and a rootbeer or rootbeer float in a frosty glass mug. read more

I ordered a $20 dollar meal and was given cold fries. I wasn't in the mood to complain so I literally ate it/them. I ordered the 10 piece chicken tenders and a large fries. The tenders were 14.99. The gal who initially started my order, was too busy with the online orders and handed my order over to a young man. I wish they had friendlier service. For the price I paid I could have had twice as better and Caine's Chicken which is what I actually wanted. So disappointed. read more

Very poor service from all the lazy girls .The young man was very helpful,the girl literally thru our food on the table and walked away..I seen a girl in the kitchen texting and scratching her head .YOU NEED MANAGERS ON DUTY RUNNING THIS RESTAURANT read more

Are the people that work here on relax mode since they live in a small town? So we ordered a few burgers and the daily special which was a Coney Dog. I noticed they forgot my order of fries and they charged me the coney dog full price. The people hesitated in giving me my fries and just gave me an extra dog, but that really didn't solve the problem. The original price for a dog was $2.49 and the daily special was .99 cent. Ummm...do the math. The root beer float was DELISH! Everyone liked their burgers. read more

The root beer was fantastic. The burger and chili dog sucked. Both were over cooked.

The customer service in the drive-thru earned the 5 stars. Young man working around 9pm on 9/2/17 was awesome. I was coming back from an all day Sequoia/Kings NP excursion surviving on Corn Nuts and M&M's. I was in a savage mode of hunger. I ordered the BBQ Cheeseburger meal, a root beer float, a corndog, and some chicken tenders which I added at the window. He was pleasant and got my order perfect. He and the girl working were great. read more

This is my all time favorite A&W restaurant in Tulare county! The people who work here are super friendly and always have a welcoming vibe! The food is always fast and fresh and I always leave with a smile! I wouldn't give this place anything less then 5 stars! read more

Every time I come in here, I am greeted with a smile both to welcome and to take my order. I receive excellent service from all employees, no matter what shift and what team members are there. I wouldn't give this restaurant any less than 5 stars due to the exceptional food and wonderful associates. read more

Food is good. But when a FAST FOOD place takes 21 minutes to get through the drive thru something is not right. Every time I go it takes 15-21 minutes no less. I've never had good service here and today is the last time I'll go there. Shame on you all. Your paid to do a job... Get to it read more

Definitely 5 stars! Because, we had went there in a very large group after a game. I give the 3 employees there props for getting us in, serving us in a timely matter before closing! Root beer floats were awesome and the corn dogs were super! Not to big of fan on fries but overall definitely a good experience there! Thank you :) read more

I only gave 1 star because I had to! This A & W sucks! Wasted another 10 minutes of my life waiting in their drive-thru and I was the ONLY customer, including both the drive-thru & indoors! I watched a boy mop behind the counter/register area, then begin to fill my order, go grab a trash can, complete filling my order & never once did he wash his hands! Witnessed & listened to the girl who took my order & the manager talk shit about my wheat-free/no bun/protein style chicken sandwich! I am allergic to wheat, so that includes 99% of all bread products, including fast food buns! This place is beyond disgusting! Thru out 90% of my fries & the 1 fry I did eat was stone-ass cold! Called & spoke to the night manager, getting a refund tomorrow! I would go back now but I really don't care to wait another 10-15 minutes to get it! Be sure that you pass up this A & W! I threw in a picture of my special order! What a joke! read more

A&W Restaurant - This is my no bun/protein style grilled chicken sandwich! Please take your time to count all 3 pieces of lettuce... - Fast Food Near Me - Exeter, California

I think the employees here are having a contest to see who can care less.... Myself and 2 other groups of people stood by and waited 10 minutes for someone, anyone to get the lead out and take someones order but I gave up and left. Cannot recommend this place for their service read more

Aaron was working when we stopped here to get some root beer floats. My boyfriend is from England and has never had one before. Aaron was so kind and made sure that my boyfriend and i had the best possible experience, he was so courteous and was checking on us making sure that everything was just right! Would never expect a fast food restaurant worker to be as professional and respectful as Aaron, exceeded my expectations in the best way! Perfect experience, so pleased!! Oh and not to mention, the floats were to die for! Thank you Aaron!! read more
