The servers are always so sweet and prompt! The food is always good and that root beer in the mug is so cold, delicious and creamy. This place is well maintained and is just a few minutes off of 35! Nostalgia hits hard on this one...reminds me of being a kid, sitting in the backseat and leaning over the front seat of my parents car waiting to get my baby mug of root beer. Love A & W!! We'll be back!!

The time it took to get the #1 combination took a bit longer than expected, but not too long of a…read morewait (I guess). What bothered me is I was looking forward to a frosty mug of root beer and THEY PUT ICE IN THE MUG! That is unacceptable. If someone specifically asks for ice in a frosty mug, fine - give it to them. But by default, anybody who knows anything about A&W would not expect ice in their frosty mug! Like the old Miller Lite guy (may he rest in peace) said: "The only thing that should be in your beer is BEER!" It goes double for A&W root beer! Somebody needs to explain the tradition to the employees. I didn't complain because the establishment was getting real busy, but this needs to improve.

MOST EXPENSIVE BIZZARD EVER!! l ordered a mud pie blizzard…read moreand paid $10.73 for it!! That's insane! They charged me $2 MORE because that's not a 'normal' blizzard..? No one told me when l ordered it that l was going to pay $2 more for it, when l get it from EVERY OTHER DQ for NORMAL PRICE! l have ordered this before at Pine City and didn't pay $2 more, so apparently you pay different prices based on WHO is working! lt isn't like this has more ingredients than any other blizzard, so charging more for it made no sense! what a rip off!

I was craving Dairy Queen and was coming back home from a summer holiday weekend and found this…read morestop along highway 35. The reviews seemed harsh but I went hoping for the best. It's at the end of a court - annoying location if there is high traffic to try and get out. Let's try to be a little fair to the location and say it's understaffed like most fast food places are post COVID, those who are behind the counter are under-appreciated, and ...this is a high volume traffic location next to a major highway and down the road from a casino. However, like other reviews did say, it IS kind of gross. Bathrooms and tables aren't kept, and most trashes are overflowing. However, the food seem to be what I expected, the price was fair, and it didn't seem that sketchy. So if you're coming to this location and especially it's a high traffic time or during a holiday weekend - don't expect much except your chicken fingers and ice cream treat and move along. If you want to dine in - bring some hand sanitizer, wipes, and try to be kind to the three staff members behind the counter trying to just hustle with the rest of us.

This isn't the first time. I don't know why the service, esp. in the drive-through is SO SO slow. And one note on the food - the last time I ordered a burger and a malt. And the malt wasn't "mixed up" - very "grainy" with the malt. I couldn't finish it. :(

Really didn't want to have sloppy subs in the car, so as we discussed our plan to eat in real quick, the man working immediately interrupted us and said "I really you rather not eat in because I am going to close and I don't want to clean up my lobby again." There was 1 hour left!! We didn't make a fuss about it and left with our subs. However, don't post your store hours as 11 pm closing time if we are getting told to leave at 10 pm.

She treated her employee like crap in front of multiple customers as well as being short and disrespectful to a customer who had come in to pick up a catering platter which she didn't even start. That and the fact that she was yelling across the store constantly to ask people if they had the pickup orders. The male employee was extremely patient with her as he served the lunch rush by himself while he trained in a brand new employee. It took me over 20 minutes to get my order started... and I was the first person in line. Finally got my order and found a long hair in it. I left a complaint with corporate. I rarely leave a bad review but this place needs extreme measures taken if they want to succeed.
