We actually ventured here around midnight after our flight landed. Although the dining room was closed and you can only order from the walk-up window or drive-thru, the staff was friendly and the food was delicious, much better than my past experiences at other A&W's. * Nashville Hot Chicken Cruncher: who would've thought A&W would be the place to order Nashville hot chicken? However, this was actually better than a lot of chains we tried in Nashville. * Root beer float: Yay, it's back and so good! A classic and their claim to fame. * Smash Burger: I usually don't care for smash burgers, but this was even better than the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. * Fries: You can never go wrong with fries. Glad that this location was open 24/7 to save us from hunger before heading to Banff for the night.

We had to moving thru the menu a bit quicker than desired in order to place our order and not hold up the line. Much to my chagrin, they don't serve RootBeer Floats!? This was my whole objective for visiting. Seems like a huge missed opportunity. Burgers were flooded with sauce to the point of reducing the palatability. I'll try again when I'm back in the States.

We stopped for gas and saw there was an A&W inside the gas station mini mart. We were so excited because we wanted a snack for our trip back to Radium Hot Springs. The A&W is located in the very back of the store, and is quite small. When I walked up to see the menu, I noticed it was limited and they only offered some of their basic menu items; floats and cheese curds weren't listed. I asked one of the ladies behind the counter and she confirmed it. So disappointing. We had eaten lunch a couple hours before, so we were just looking for a quick snack. If you're looking for a burger, fries and soda, this is probably a nice, convenient stop. If you're looking for snacks, stick to the mini mart!

Fried chicken sandwiches are a dime a dozen. However Flirty Bird knows how to mess with chicken…read more The Breast is seasoned and the flour- this is the one thing that is lost on most places as well as seasoning the chicken. It is fried and comes out tender with a nice crunchy crust. Now the heat flavoring that ranges from none- to so hot it burns all the way through. There are dill pickles added with cole slaw. There is a sauce that is put on the sandwich. I usually take a pass on the sauce because it is typically heavily applied and gloopy. However, the amount was just right. I had the hot Sando version. This is the third hottest option and it was good and I could really feel the heat of the spices. The server is honest about the heat of the sauces and spices so know your limit. Limited seating, mostly standing but worth the wait. Counter service and a cheery employee. Music plays and it reflects the server. I really liked the music. My spouse had the mild Sando sandwich and thought the spice and heat was just right and "incredibly flavorful." If you are passing through Canmore B.C. and looking for a good, as I call it, yard bird sandwich, you would be stupid not to stop at Flirty Bird Nashville Hot Chicken.

Okay so I love SPICY food and have been known to spoon reaper sauce into my mouth by itself. This…read morechicken definitely packs a mean kick...but unnecessarily so. I got the hot, my husband got the hottest and both of us were unable to finish. I expected as much from his (you challenge the heat you get beat!), but mine was nearly inedible as well. I think at the end of the day the spice was haphazardly slapped on, and it takes away from any real flavour. On top of that there was so much sauce the skin was falling off revealing super duper rubbery chicken that was challenging to bite into on its own and the bun disintegrated within the first few bites leaving a sloppy mess of pickle and slaw. Overall, if you want spicy without any actual function save for bragging rights...go for it. You'll pay $15 for a very mediocre chicken sandwich and probably end up covered in reaper sauce along the way.

Thing is we arrived pretty late. Close to midnight. Me and my daughter walked to town, about 5-10 minutes away from our hotel. A few places were still open, which was nice. After checking out a few places, we decided to check out Aardvark. Location - It's in the town of Banff. It's right off of the main street. Walkable from a lot of the hotels in the area. Food - The food is good. It was freshly made. We got one pepperoni, one cheese, and poutine. The pizza had enough grease, but it's not greasy. The dough was cooked properly. It was crispy outside and chewey inside. The flavor on the pizza and poutine was good. I did not get food poisoning. Service/Staff - Good service. Orders were taken promptly and food came out on a timely manner. Staff were friendly. Vibe - The place had a fun and bright vibe. Pizza by the slice was on display. There's not really a place to sit. It's pretty much a "come in and grab" type of place. It was cool. People were still coming in to buy slices. Would I go back? Yes, I would. It's specially nice that they are open super late. I hope they stay the same.

The chicken has a perfect outer crunch when biting into it, but is still very juicy inside. It also didn't taste old or reheated, definitely seems to have come right off the frier and tossed in the sauce. The big issue that kept me from going back again was the service. They seemed in a rush to take my order when I got in and then made me wait over 30 minutes for takeout. This should be quick food to grab on the way home from one of the parks. While I was there, another person (who had waited over an hour, gave up and left). I asked the other people waiting there and all had been there upwards of 20 minutes. This place seems like it's geared towards quick takeout, since there's not a ton of seating inside... but the takeout is so slow that it makes it a little confusing as to what they're trying to be.
