We stopped today for a gallon of diet root beer which they serve in a plastic gallon. This is a sit down restaurant but has a drive thru. Service was fast. It's one of the few A&W's left in the state. The drive thru was fast and efficient. read more

A&W - A&w love it - Burgers Near Me - Hales Corners, Wisconsin

This A & W is definitely different then the ones I remember as a kid. No Speakers or trays hooked to your car door. It is a combination of fast food and sit down place. They have a counter right when you enter, but that is for to go orders and customers paying as they leave, so it is a little congested as you walk in. We figured out what was going on, grabbed our own menus and found a table. Within seconds a waitress appeared and took our order. I chose the Mushroom/ Swiss burger with grilled onions, Fries and a Chocolate Shake. My friend ordered a Bacon Cheese Burger, Fries and a Root Beer. Our food appeared as quickly as our waitress! On real plates too! The burgers were good and the fries were fantastic! My shake was good, but nothing spectacular. I was at A& W....Why didn't I get a Root Beer? Service was amazingly fast and friendly. I think the owner checked on us twice. They are wheelchair accessible, but be aware that the parking lot is a little beat up and the restaurant itself is small and could be hard to navigate alone. read more

Reminds me of George Webbs all the way. I'd come back on occasion. Prices are about the same for similar style restaurants. Only draw back is the funky parking lot. read more

See all

This locally-owned A&W is a full-service sit-down restaurant, not just a traditional A&W root beer/ice cream stand. Many locals have made this their breakfast spot of choice, in heavy competition with the Webb's across the street. A&W offers relatively inexpensive fare, including a "breakfast special" of two eggs, sausage or bacon, and toast all for $2.99 (previously $2.49), and the service is really fast, possibly due in part to the fact that the owner is usually in the restaurant. Lunch and dinner offers a full array of A&W menu items. For fans of A&W root beer, be sure to ask to have your meal upgraded to the large, where they'll bring out one of the largest mugs you've ever seen, filled to the top with root beer. The staff is attentive and very friendly. Having visited almost weekly for a long time, of course I've seen a goof or two. Since I read the paper while I'm there, one morning, I noticed I had gotten through the first section of the paper, and didn't have my food yet (it typically arrives much too quickly, like while I'm reading Page 1, which vaguely annoys me). Thinking this unusual, I kept quiet and it got to about a half-hour since I had arrived, when one of the longtime waitresses came up, somewhat flustered and extremely apologetic, and told me that somehow my ticket hadn't gotten to the kitchen. I told her flat out that this was fine with me, since I preferred to get some reading in before my food came. Now, I'm not *sure* of this, but it seems to me that when she takes my order now, my food often takes a little longer to arrive than it used to. It could be my imagination, I guess. For whatever reason, the owner has opposed accepting credit cards, and this is one of an exceedingly small number of restaurants that does not accept cards. read more

Not a drive-in A&W like the ones of old, but they still serve the same great food and root beer. Root beer is the main thing here, I don't know if it tastes like the root beer of the 60's, but it still tastes like it did in 1984. That's all that's important to me. That's not to say they only do old things, they make a root beer blended float they call a "freeze" that's heavenly. The food is your standard custard stand fare, but the cheese curds here are the real deal. The burgers, dogs and fries are worth it too. I will always return, if only for the root beer. read more

All my years of living in the area and I have never eaten at A&W. I remember going through the drive thru once or twice with friends to get some fried junk but never really ate an actual sandwich there. Met some friends there the other night for a bite and to hang out and chat. Menu has a pretty good selection for a fast food type place. I had a grilled chicken sandwich and it was surprisingly good since I am kind of a chicken sandwich snob. The service was great and I cannot believe how fast everything comes out. We ordered and it seemed to be only minutes later we received our food. WOW!!! We sat there for a couple of hours talking and then went outside. We proceeded to talk in the parking lot until they shut the lights off on us. It was 8pm on a Saturday night. We all laughed because we joked "We closed A&W" (is there a bumper sticker that says that?) I will definitely be back to try more. I also heard they have a great breakfast too. Family owned and very friendly. read more

Always a great food favorite. This place reminds me of great memories from my youth. Thank you for always being there with great food and service. read more

The food was inexpensive and arrived to our table shortly after ordering. We ordered chili dogs and cheese curds and it wasn't impressive at all. A&W is a nostalgic pleasure for me, so, of course I will always like this place. But, the chilidogs were kind of gross. Also, this location in particular was a little odd. The waitress kept creepily staring at my boyfriend for uncomfortably long periods of time, which, we could over look if she would have made any eye contact with me or acknowledged my existence. read more

I know Hwy 100 has been hard on businesses, believe me, I know! However, A&W now charges 50 cents for drive thru meals? Or just breakfasts? The guy at the window says they charge 50 cents for to go meals...where's that posted? As a consumer, when you have stated prices shouldn't the prices be as stated? I understand if there are unknowns or you routinely have to wait to compute the charge, but that isn't how they have historically run this place. Is it under new management? What's happening? read more

If you're going for anything root beer related, A&W is a five-star kind of place. The rest of the food is... well, like a diner whose real specialty is a soda. I recommend the grilled chicken sandwich, or a chili cheese dog. read more

They still serve the fantastic root beer in mugs. This is a fun little diner, type place. The service is fast and the food is served piping hot. The fries are crunchy and delicious. I also enjoy the ice cream and cheese curds. read more

The last time I was at A&W was during the summer. I really enjoy this restaurant a lot with their signature root beer floats and their delicious chicken sandwich. I always leave full and satisfied. The parking lot isn't that big but they make up for it by providing great service, clean and safe environment as well as their friendly staff. I highly recommend A&W for anyone with loves root beer floats and a classic theme for their diner. read more

Dear God, Where has A & W's original recipe root beer gone? It was my favorite, and they used to serve it in a frosty mug. Yogi Bear was their mascot. You would call your waitress by a telephone at your booth, and she would bring your root beer order shortly thereafter. These were all signs of your existence. Where have they gone? Lemme know. Sincerely, A One-Time Milwaukee Youth read more

The food is exactly what you should expect to get for cheap food. The burger was good. I had a freeze and it was a nice treat. What do you expect for $10. They were accurate in their advertising and presentation for the price. They are fast, and the staff was kind. Great place for kids. read more

So had to stop by the radio station on our way to Chicago, decided to get a quick burger and saw this place. First time trying A&W and didn't know what to expect so I can say wasn't deeply disappointed but I wasn't impressed. Their burgers remind me of the bland burgers you get in a high school cafeteria. The cheese curds were delicious and on point but the root beer float tasted a little watered down. The workers were very friendly, sweet and courteous. Honestly would give the food a 2 stars but the people working were so nice had to bump it up, but probably would go somewhere else for a quick burger next time. read more

An unexpected "great food" hideaway in Hales Corners...not your average A &W breakfasts are like homemade soups awesome (love chicken dumpling) an all around good place to eat for a reasonable price for any meal Dolores read more

My family has been eating at this location for quite some time now and can say that the only thing better than the food is the staff! The food comes faster than a drive thru at McD's and is a far better bargain. This isn't an old fashioned A&W with carhops but the quality of service more than makes up for that. A great family eatery. read more

A&W has become another generic turnkey restaurant business. Made for the owners and landlords to get rich, customers and workers barely satisfied. Today it is no where near the great quality it had been 20 years ago. They no longer use the original root beer recipe. Their meals and small and high priced. The burgers are a disgrace compared to what they were back in the 90's. If you want a good burger, go to Kopps. It's only a few minutes away from this A&W. read more

We try to get in there a couple of times a month. Food is always fresh, not pre-made. Food gets out of the kitchen fast. Always friendly and efficient service. They seem like they really want to please the customer. The owners are always there to make sure everyone is happy with their experience. read more

This restaurant always provides great service and yummy food. The drive thru is fast and the employees are friendly. For old fashioned great customer service, check this place out. read more

This restaurant didn't seem much like the average fast food place as an old fashioned diner. We were welcomed and immediately seated and this was during busy hours! The menu is great, and not too expensive. I love how we got old fashioned glasses to hold the rootbeer floats in. I tipped the waiter because I was so impressed. read more

Stopped in with my 16 year old son. We were in the area and I haven't been to an A&W since the 1980's. Ordered the double bacon cheeseburger combo's. They came out of the kitchen FAST. What I really appreciated is that the food was not only good but it was nice to eat off of a real plate and enjoy the A&W root beer in a real cold glass mug. My son likes Culver's but he rated this higher and I agree. Not as greasy and the same price without the wax paper. Tables were clean and servers were polite. I recommend you stopping in to relive some of those old drive in day's of our youth. read more

This A & W may not be as nice as the ones in Portage and Wautoma, but still good food, great service and friendly people. To me, combo prices are a bit high and the fact that you have to pay for a refill, kind of surprized me. In Wautoma, not only do they refill your Root Beers, but they offer you a to-go cup as well. In all tho, I am glad there is still an A & W in Milwaukee county since the one on 27th st. closed a few years back. My most memorable A & W memories while growing up in West Allis was Flemmings A & W on 78th and Greenfield. read more

Great place ordered food came out right away. Got free refills on my coffee. Service was great and price was very reasonable.
