    Onion Rings
    Jay L.

    Onion rings were great burger wasn't bad. I only wish they had asked about the root-bear. I no longer have a location near me and I wanted som real a and w not a fountain drink. Staff was friendly and place was cleaner than many fast food places these days.

    Came in for a root beer float on a hot summer day and got a fabulous one! It was pretty busy, but we easily found seating. The store layout itself is a little odd, but I really didn't mind. I love lots of ice cream in my root beer floats and the person who made mine did a perfect job crafting it! I will defiantly be back again in the future for some more root beer floats.

    Decent experience at A&W while visiting Niagara for the weekend. Love that it's open late and was walking distance from our holiday inn hotel. Had a root beer float in the frosty mug, and the food was hot! Very busy inside and could use some tidying up. Also no one seems to speak English that works there. Why don't the milkshakes come in a frosty mug?? That was literally why we went!

    Perfect crunch popcorn shrimp.
    Jim G.

    The sign in the window lured me in with "Shrimp & Fish." I love "popcorn" shrimp and haven't had good ones since the Crab Shack closed on Maple Rd in Amherst. You get 30 shrimp and they're really good. My only quibble is the Heinz cocktail sauce is too sweet. I'm used to something more robust, like Millers. I plan to return but bring my own bottle of Miller's. That will be a real treat! The staff was very nice - made me feel welcome. The decor reminded me of 1950's style fast food, yet they had modern touches like touch-screen ordering. The restaurant is right on bus routes #40 and #77 with a stop right outside the restaurant.

    Original bacon cheesburger

    I lived in California for 4 years and A &W was a staple in my life. They definitely have good burgers. The chili fries is my favorite and go to. This location in the falls is clean. I ordered from door dash for pick up. My food was not ready at the assigned time, took about another 15 minutes. I was told only one cook for the day. There were mistakes to my order. But again there burgers are well, fries are delicious. Wish they work on the buns. All our buns fell apart, luckily we had buns at home and had to re-assemble our burgers. I also do love there spicy A&W sauce. Little pricey for the value of food. Didnt hate, but don't love.

    Double burger combo.
    Michael D.

    Was excited to come here for the burgers and a root beer float but was not impressed. Spent $45 for two regular burger combos, a double bacon cheeseburger and a root beer float. Everything tasted just ok, not spectacular. The soda fountain had a no ice and the kid's lemonade tasted like sugar water. No paper towels in the bathroom was also a concern. Service was friendly. All around this A & W was just ok.

    Double Cheeseburger with fries and a drink.

    The food was fast and the service was very friendly. I know the restaurant is new but it's been open a few months now and is still very clean. My only gripe is the price. Just like every other fast food place it's very expensive. I ordered a double cheeseburger meal and a fish sandwich meal for my wife and it came to $29 and some change. I'd definitely go back if I was in the neighborhood.

    Root beer float
    Sonya L.

    We literally came here just for root beer floats. Having had these many years ago from other A&W locations, we were disappointed by the root beer float we received. We told them we were dining in, so we could get a frosted mug, like we've done in the past. But when we got our order it was in a paper cup. Then when we tried our drink, there was something off about it. The root beer had no flavor and our float tasted mostly like ice cream. We finished our float and left disappointed. Root beer float that doesn't taste like root beer. I guess the positive is that the soft serve they use was good. Maybe we just got a bad batch.

    It costs me a lot to have such a meal. We ordered lots of stuff. Tender chicken, hotdog, hamburgers, fries etc. however we are just starving and it is the only restaurant open around the corner.

    Katie M.

    It's neat. It's got some nostalgia. You can get a root beer float or you can get a mug or a full meal. They even have cheese curds. It's walkable from the falls - about 10 min - and on a main street that is well lit, if waking at night. The staff were nice and it's well lit. Prices reasonable too.

    I love this location, and the restaurant is inside of an old souvenir shop with a cool design.

Also at the table was a basket of fried shrimp, and the chicken waffles. First let me say their seasoned fries are absolutely amazing. Fried perfect and when they call them seasoned, that they are in a great way! My crab and corn chowder was tasty. I could used bit more crab but that didn't take away from it tasting good. My burger was cooked as I liked. I wish the bacon jam to blue cheese ratio were a bit better. I had way more blue cheese than bacon jam so it was a bit over powering to where I couldn't even taste the bacon jam..but again the flavor and cook was great.
