The staff was very friendly, and service was great. I ordered the hot roast beef sandwich, which comes with fries, and carrots and turnips on the side.

One side note is that this place takes cash only so make sure you have some cash on hand!

I don't usually write reviews, but this experience genuinely deserves attention. On July 21st, I…read morevisited A&W with a friend and had one of the most disappointing customer service experiences I've ever encountered--especially from someone in a supervisory role. We placed an order for two meals and an extra burger on the side. Strangely, the burger was handed over within just 1-2 minutes, even before we were seated. My friend took one bite and said it didn't taste fresh. I tried mine and realized both burgers were completely cold--including the patties. Even the fries and onion rings were cold. Not lukewarm--cold. We called the supervisor, Austin, and politely let him know. Instead of handling it with basic courtesy, he became defensive and insisted everything was made fresh. Still, he took the food back... and came back with the exact same items we had just returned. He told us he could only replace the fries and onion rings because he decided the burgers were fine. I repeated that the burgers were cold and asked for a replacement. His response? "Next time you want fresh food, just tell us while ordering." I was stunned. Isn't it standard to expect warm, freshly prepared food at a restaurant? Since when do customers need to request that their meal be made fresh? He kept repeating the same lines--"We don't hold patties," "We make everything fresh"--yet somehow our entire order came out in under two minutes. When I pointed that out, he just brushed it off. At one point, he even mentioned a similar issue happened a week ago, hinting that we were trying to scam the store. That comment was humiliating, insulting, and completely uncalled for. At that point, I was so frustrated, I told him, "Forget the food--I don't want it anymore. I just want a refund. I'll go eat somewhere else." Thankfully, I did receive a refund, but even then, there was no apology. No acknowledgment of the poor food quality. No ownership of how badly the situation was handled. I spent nearly $40 and walked away feeling disrespected, unheard, and embarrassed in front of my friends. The lack of professionalism, empathy, and accountability was honestly shocking--especially coming from someone who's supposed to be a supervisor. To the management: this kind of behavior drives customers away. I sincerely hope you take this seriously. People deserve better than cold food and condescending service.

By the time we left around 1, there were more customers, but it wasn't as busy as the prior year when I had come here for supper. Friendly, standard service. My side Caesar salad was quite good, standard, but flavorful, and a large size for a side. I thought by ordering two small dishes, I wouldn't be too full, but that plus the potato skins I got, I couldn't finish it all. The skins were not bad, with a fair bit of cheese, some bare skins at the side/bottom as often is the case, but no real complaints. My friend had the hot hamburger with fries & side of carrots, which he liked enough, but didn't find it memorable. For dessert he tried the mince meat pie and liked it a fair bit, as did I the coconut cream pie. (after being so full from my meal that I could barely breathe, i still had a sweet tooth.. lol). So this place is not on my top favorite list of Sydney restaurants, but I find it relaxing, homey and simple enough where I'd still come back anytime someone suggested.
