Disclosure: this review is from 9/7/2009 and I originally posted it for probably the wrong location. Anyway:
I don't even remember which location it was, but I do remember this: this was the best root beer experience of my life, bar none.
Having had some "only moderately cold" root beer in a take out cup from the Camrose location, I decided to do the sacrilegious thing and request ice when we came to another Edmonton A&W for dine in. They said they didn't HAVE ice. Bold.
What they did have was an ice-cold frosted thick glass mega-mug that kept the root beer so cold that it developed a little bit of ice on _top_ of the root beer - like the small amount of head on the root beer turned to slush. It was amaaaazing. And less than $15. I would have paid $15 for that, had I known what it was going to be.
Oh, also got the teen burger. Amazingly tasty.... almost like they grilled it. Did they? Wow, A&W in Canada is kind of crazy awesome. Road trip! read more
