New a&w
Nicolas J.

Nice there's an A&W on my way back from Vegas that isn't crazy out of the way. Simple menu with root beer being the star of the show. They have it on tap. I had a simple burger combo meal. Not a bad spot and a unique food option not too widespread in California

$16 dry chicken sliders meal

Well my husband and I took our daughter and grandkids here Saturday evening .. wow, don't think we will be returning for a while.. Spending $80 for 4 adults and 2 kids on just burgers and chicken stripe was way to much for us.. food was so so, but not worth $80

First and foremost, don't come here expecting gourmet meals. They do the basics, but they do them well. The chicken sliders were lightly breaded. The chicken was juicy, and delicious. The fries were your basic yummy fries. I did order the root beer float, which brought back childhood memories of when the "carhop" would skate to your parked car, tray in hand, with your food and drinks. The taste was the same, even decades later. Such a yummy treat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The facility itself was clean, and has ample seating, both inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music was playing in the background, and the full allotment of customers were enjoying their late lunch. The energy was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service exceeded my expectations. Very friendly. I'll most definitely return, and continue to sample the rest of their offerings. Enjoy

Awesome service, friendly, welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The new flags really help you spot it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoor or Outdoor patio seating area and drive thru location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When you want a good root beer that's just right come here for. A healthy helping. Get it in a float, shake or with a shot of coffee. If root beer isn't ur thing they have food items to get a fill. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's an old school kinda place a local stop for some classic finds.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I cannot believe I'm giving this place a 5 star review!!! But yall - if I ever eat fast food, it will be here! What enticed me was a root beer float! Then I noticed they had fried shrimp, and I love fried shrimp! So I just ended up ordering a fried shrimp combo with onion rings & a large root beer float! I ate soooo good! The shrimp & onion rings were perfectly golden, not over cooked at all. The cocktail & tartar sauce were also surprisingly great! On top of good food, we received great customer service! The gentleman at the drive thru was patient & kind to us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We didn't go inside, but the fast food chain stands alone and looks pretty run down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I live 1.5 hrs away, but I'm willing up make the drive. It was delicious!!

Root beer Float!

Just happen to stop here while coming back from a trip. You don't often see A&W Restaurants unless you're out of the city and on a trip. This place is open 24 hours which is nice if you're in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a nice outside eating area and the interior is nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good and their menu selection is typical American burgers, fries, etc. I stopped by mainly because of their root beer float. There's something about the ice cream they use with their original A&W Root Beer! It may be even better because it comes out of a tap versus a can. Either way, it's a great dessert or snack. Since it's hard to find an A&W Restaurant, I recommend stopping by to grab a root beer float and enjoy!

Rootbeer Float

Perfect treat after a long day! Service was short and fast and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place was really clean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would like to come back here for lunch sometime! The root beer float was absolutely delish and just what I needed after a long day out with my family.

Always have to stop by here coming down the hill from big bear! Just to get a root beer float! Ice cream is nice and creamy and I get diet root beer. Lol. Haven't tried their food.

Drove out to Mentone for a memorable A&W Root beer float and a frosty mug full of root beer. It was Sooo.. Good. Well be back for the same and food to. :) :) :)

I have never written a review for any Fast Food restaraunt , but the crew that works at THIS A&W really are amazing . Stopped on way back from Big Bear twice, and each time the front order staff are smiling, happy, and take the time to explain the menu. They redid an order for us that frankly was our fault for the incorrect order, but they cooked what we wanted super quickly with no drama . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food is great, hot, and the place is pretty clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A must stop if in the area!

Root beer float
Luis M.

Overall, good service. There was no line in the drive thru and got my food pretty fast. Didn't go inside so I can't elaborate Food was really ok. I'd say a preference thing. Fries tasted like that main stream hot dog place (wieners). Float was mostly soda with maybe some ice cream. Need some more ice cream.

Root beer float in a frosty mug
Shell M.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Super clean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are new owners and a LOT of effort being put into this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The booth area has all been re-done in the classic colors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The gentleman at the counter was incredibly patient while I was painstakingly reading the menu. He pointed out their "hometown menu"...sandwiches that locals have requested and they added them to the menu Chili dog, cheese curds, and a classic root beer float served in a frosty mug! Omg! This is the last A & W in Southern California. Run, don't walk. Go inside, enjoy your meal. Support locally owned businesses!!! Drive thru is Open 24 hrs - but not sure if the dining room is?

Drive thru takes forever -- bring a book. Food's okay; fries are blah. My root beer was flat and almost no ice. Who manages this place?

They see me rollin' They hatin'…read morePatrollin' and tryna catch me ridin' dirty... 5/5 Drive thru A breeze with the mobile app ordering. Others in line are ordering and I'm just rolling onto the pick up window 5/5 Location Right off the 10 freeway off Yucaipa its on a hill like Jesus says you must place it on a hill for all to see. 5/5 Food Classic Chicken sandwich menu with the Lemon Chicks cup.

Chick-fil-A - Poor Customer Service & Mishandled Order…read more I hate leaving negative reviews, especially for Chick-fil-A, because the food and service are usually excellent. Unfortunately, this visit was not. We arrived around 8:45 PM. The restaurant was not busy--only a few parties dining. When I ordered, the cashier (David) appeared visibly annoyed from the start and rushed the entire interaction. He initially rang up only the two sandwiches, even though I ordered meals. When I noticed we didn't receive drinks, I went back to the counter and asked where they were. His response was, "You wanted meals?" followed by an eye roll and visible frustration when I said yes. I specifically asked if I would be charged the meal price, and he said yes. However, instead of correcting the original transaction, he rang the items up separately, which resulted in a higher total. This is clearly shown on the receipt. I also was not given a receipt initially, so I had to return again to request one. After sitting down, I noticed every other party in the restaurant was having their food delivered to their table. Ours never was. We were left sitting with the table sign until I eventually had to go back up to the counter to ask about it. One manager did apologize, which I appreciated. However, another manager later discussed my complaint openly on the floor, loud enough for me to hear, in a nearly empty restaurant. That was uncomfortable and unprofessional. To be clear: * The food tasted great, as always. * The issue was attitude, order accuracy, and follow-through. Chick-fil-A is known for hospitality and professionalism, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I truly hope this location addresses how customer concerns are handled and ensures staff are trained to correct mistakes without frustration or dismissiveness.

I asked him if he has been to the original Del Taco, he said in Barstow, I said yes. He agreed it is AWESOME. The one in Lenwood uses the same meat company and it is the same as Barstow, better than all the rest. They are privately owned. Have a blessed day. Ambience, I used drive thru but there are people sitting inside and I was pretty impressed because it's in downtown Redlands and it is full of nice restaurants. But sometimes people just want fast food.

And I had to pay 70 cents extra for sour cream. Green Sauce also cost an extra 35 cents. But at least it was an excellent addition. It seems a weird system to have to wait at the check stand with other customers several minutes for your order to come after navigating one of two non-user-friendly kiosks. Three women were working just behind the counter at a frenetic pace to fulfill both kiosk and drive thru orders. At least our order was correct, and the food tasted good after it arrived.
