    Mama Burger with Cheese Combo is my favourite. Their burger meat is hormone free, which I like. Also there drive-through is open 24 hours which is nice for late night snacks.

    Great staff and clean interiors.
    Enjoyable rootbeer in a frosted glass is a must! Teenburger was a-okay and the onion rings needs improvement (just bring back the old onion ring recipe please).

    Hubs & I stopped in to pick up a couple burgers on the way home.

    We like A&W for the values they promote in sourcing their ingredients.

    We ordered the limited angus teen burger with mushrooms. He got fries. I got onion rings (because if you are going to do this fast food thing you do it all committed)

    The guy behind the counter was the highlight of our visit. He was funny & seemed to enjoy being there which makes for a good experience. He promoted the burgers we ordered and even detailed why they were the best option.

    I just REALLY appreciate great customer service!

    That said... The 3 stars are all for him.
    I added an extra star in appreciation of how clean the place was. I like that.

    Despite my lowered expectations of fast food i was disappointed by the onion rings being less than warm. The burger was uninspired but with the help of some amazing BBQ sauce i have on hand @ home it found it's way down my gullet.

    Hubs fries were also not very warm. But he enjoyed his burger.

    It has been years between visits to A&W for me and it may be another while, but the stop in was worth it to encounter the entertaining service.

    Although the foreign staff are very pleasant, after many hunger-driven, late-night trips to A&W, I have come to the conclusion that they - most of them foreign - don't understand how to construct a delicious and attractive hamburger. Too much mayo sauce and huge leafs of lettuce make for a slimy, mushy mess. They need to be trained or retrained by hamburger-eating chefs. I will not waste another dime on this place or the other North Vancouver A&Ws until they train their staff to make decent hamburgers. The ingredients are good, the staff courteous, but their hamburgers are terrible and they shouldn't be. The staff or the managers are clearly at fault.

    April 6,2017 tonight at about 6 pm, my partner I went to this location to get some Chubby Chicken.  While we were standing in front of the counter a woman was returning fries.  A&W use the little fryer bins to serve their fries in to reduce impacts to the environment (very progressive) she held two of the bins. She told the young lady working the counter that she wanted to return the fries as they were cold. The employee took both of the bins and turned to the kitchen.  I could see the fryers and the cook and she past them to the cook saying they were cold and he took them.  The girl got the lady new ones.  I saw the cook had placed the two baskets in the warmer area.  To my horror I see him dump both baskets into fry bin and turn on the heat light.  He then takes a bucket of new fries from the cooker and dumps it into the fries that had been returned. He then uses a utensil to mix the fries all together.

    I never described the fries that had been return but they appeared over cooked with them wilting like greasy fries that had been sitting for a while.  Nor did I mention that my primary reason for my disgust is that if they do this with fries what improper food handling do,they do with the rest of the food they serve at this location. If it food drops on the floor do the pick the meat patty up and continuing to cook it?  They stress in the ads that they care about what they serve to us customers and how fresh the products are and the quality is prime????

    I also never mention this is the same location a few months back I visited due a Teen Burger craving.  I took it home and ate it but it just didn't seem like the patty was fresh.  Hard to explain.  After that I kept regurgitating my food.  I had a hard time sleeping and swore never to have a Teen Burger again. The next day I went to work but ended up in emergency puking and spent until 8pm that night in hospital.  I never thought that I had food poisoning from A&W and can't say it was but I can tell myself to stay away from this location as what that cook did was against the health board standards.  They cannot serve food again once it has been served and tomorrow I intend to file a complaint as it really has made me question the health standards of this location and A&W's truth in their advertising.
