A&W Restaurant

Our experience was great! Even though they are short staffed they did not look or act frazzled. They were kind and were clear with the orders. The chicken tenders were really worth the wait. They were some of the best tenders I have had in a long time and my son loved them as well. They were juicy and crispy. Thank you such to the crew for providing such amazing service. They were even jumping in and helping each other out. Again thank you and stop in the dinning if you have some time. They place has a wonderful vibe and cute decor.

This A&W has decor stuck in the '70s but that's part of why its good!Disclaimer: I have previously worked at an A&W restraunt in a different location.The interior decor and the general "1970s fast food" vibe is great. There are a few older appliances that make noise when used, but this also adds to the feel.The rootbeer is mixed In-House! Visit a few different times and you may pick up on subtle changes in the taste from different batches.The cheese curds here (and the other A&W locations I've visited) are better than Culver's!The fries are always great and hot! (I prefer A&W fries to all other fast food, including the golden arches.)The only weak points are the short staff, and the burger patties can be a little bland.The staff is great, despite being short-staffed, but the wait times can get a little long on occasion (10+min or so).Parking: Overflow parking on the street and in the parkinglot of the store next to it.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, occasionally the tv is showing a teen/young adult-rated show though. They had "Two Broke Girls" on last visit I made.

The overall experience was pretty good! The food was delicious, the chicken was SUPER HOT (not the spicy kind but the temperature kind), and the root beer was delectable. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of one thing: the wait. It took over 20 minutes for us to get our food! It was 2, 3 piece chicken baskets, a chicken sandwich, and a Papa Burger. There weren't a lot of people there when we ordered, either. It was also expensive. $9 for a burger, fries, and a drink. Our total came out to about $40 for the 4 things I mentioned earlier. Other than that, I would recommend this place!Edit:Attention Ladies! The bathroom is the door on the left of the sign with the push door (not the door with the handle!)

Good food, but un-godly slow!!Ok, I love A&W but this place is consistently the slowest drive thru on the planet. I go here once a week and you will have a minimum 20 minute wait at the drive thru. Tonight, it was 35 minutes. Not acceptable.Update: 4/2/2022. MUCH better! Prompt, good staff, hot fresh food. Thanks!

Absolutely love this place. People working here are always friendly. Great made to order fresh food. TRUCKER DISCOUNT as well. Thanks to the people here, I’ll stop by when I come through, which is pretty often.

Nice place fast friendly service. The quality of good was good and the place was clean very well kept. This was my second time eating at the location and prior was a good experience as well.

A&W is not what I remember it tasting like as a kid, which I recall being good. I'd say it's slightly better than McDonald's; that is not a compliment. The rootbeer was just ok.

We waited 90 minutes to get FAST FOOD,,, i kbow they were busy but its irritating when im waiting for such a long time and there r multiple people just standing around behind the counter doing Nothing...... And to top it all off when we got the order 90 minutes later he was wrong and the bun for the hot dog was broken into several pieces and the fries were half empty,,,,,,I was so frustrated I didn't even want to wait for them to correct it

Manager has been laying on the counter since we got here 30 mins ago. Kitchen staff are eating and drinking while making food every other word yelled in the kitchen area is a cuss word.... this should be a prime spot but the workers are pushing ppl from wanting to be here .. definitely can't wait to leave

Can't remember the last time I ate at A&W, but my wife and I stopped here on the way home from Pattison State Park-and the food was delicious with superb service. Some of the best fries I have ever had along with a magnificent double cheeseburger. And that root beer! Forgot how good it is. My compliments to the staff!

Root Beer is dang good!Really like the soft serve ice cream.Burgers are standard fast food burgers, nothing special.The employees are always nice though a little slow to the counter.Inside and outside could use a serious cleaning and freshening. Really, a serious daily cleaning.Only fast food in Minong and for many miles around.I'd go back.

We waited in drive thru a good 20 minutes at window. No cars in front or back of us. The papa burger had only 1 burger and 1 cheese, it should have had 2 of each. Fries were bits and pieces and cold. Could have had a better burger and fries at a restaurant for less money. Will not be going back. Appeared to have plenty of workers. A pregnant, smoking worker was making out with a guy by trashcan, quite inappropriate.

Off of major highway 53 in northwest Wisconsin. A little hard to get to. Can get very busy and long wait. Menu has changed. Still good root beer.Parking: When busy hard to navigate parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Has kids menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking for handicap. Didn't see automatic door opening. Does has tables for wheelchairs.

There are not a lot of fast food options from the HWY 53 stretch from Rice Lake to Superior. So A&W is a perfect in between spot.

We went through the drive through and the wait wasn't bad especially since we got chicken tender which they state will take a little longer. The food was good for the most part. We ended up with 2 long blonde hairs in our bags. One of them was just sitting on top of my sons fries. They also don't ask if you want any condiments so make sure you mention it if you want some. I will update next time we come through!

Horrible horrible service. Waited in line with about 8 other customers for over 20 minutes because who I assume was the manager wouldn’t let the cashier take more than one order at a time. However in the mean time she stood there and didn’t help the cook make orders or yell at the other 2 employees who were sitting outside the kitchen door smoking during a meal rush. Absolutely ridiculous!! Left and didn’t even order.

I’ll give it four stars because the food was good.One star for service, Do to the fact I counted 8 people wandering around behind the counter with one cook making the food. Cheese curds, onion rings, one root beer float, and 3 medium root beers should not take 17 minutes.Got our food and ate inside, after wiping a table off full of crumbs. Eating in the dining room was a challenge by itself, swatting flys away, watching the help snap towels at the flys trying to kill them.Then the best part of the staff entertainment started, one of the towel fly swatter guys ( the guy who took our order) decided to have a towel fight and a bunch of staff started flicking towel at each other!The towel fight continued as we dumped our trash and we started walking out. One staff member said have a great day!I feel for the owner, kids managing kids, friends sitting around drink soda, bored and no ambition to wipe down a table or clean up!Suggestion to ownership maybe get a few more cameras pointed at the staff, clean the restaurant and wipe down tables, seats, sweep the floors.Where there are FLYS THERE IS TRASH,!Don’t think we are coming back ever again!

It was a pretty good experience overall. There was a sign on the door warning that they were short staffed, so to be patient; it was quickly evident that was indeed the case. There was a bit of a wait and the staff seemed a bit frazzled. It however was certainly worth the wait. Our order was made correctly (no tomato on my burger), and all of the food was very good; it felt like it was made fresh to order. I also got some Wisconsin cheese curds that were very good, because you can't travel through Wisconsin and not order cheese curds. The decor was neat, and gave us something to look at while we waited.
