A&W is typical fast food: cheap and greasy. However, compared to other places that serve similar fare, everything tasted fresh (as in, fresh oil was used and food was cooked to order). I had the chicken tenders, which were lightly breaded and piping hot, as well as the cheese curds which were SO good. Why aren't there more A&W locations anymore? The A&W root beer has a better flavor than that Barq's crud. If you dine in, your root beer is served in an enormous, frosty mug. Refills are free. The restaurant is designed like an old diner, and there were a lot of people here during lunch time. The location isn't really close to shopping, even though it's on a main drag, there isn't much else around, so people are definitely coming for food over convenience. There's a drive-thru too. I paid less than $10 for my meal, which satisfied both my appetite and wallet. read more

Many times we have gone here and had very nice workers take care of us with our annoying orders! Haha. I'm always thinking about them Root Beer freezes! Their cheese curds are SO good too! We are long overdue for another visit. read more

A&W Restaurant - Root beer freeze,large - Burgers Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

See all

Good ole A&W! Just as delicious as it always has been and out of the locations I have been to I would say this was the cleanest and fastest. I don't know if it is just a weekly special or not daily but the 99 cent cheeseburger was a good deal! And now for the root beer. Ice cold glass, off of the root beer tap, and down the hatch. They really do have the best root beer! I love A&W and I just don't know why these places aren't more popular than they are. I will be returning! read more

the rootbeer here is so good that i would make the 30 minute from my house to get one. also the customer service here is amazing. my friends and i were greeted by amanda and she made us feel super welcome. she also put on Clifford for us when we asked and she didn't hesitate. i URGE you to hire employees like amanda. read more

This is by far the cleanest "fast food" restaurant around. Add that to the fact that the food is good and the root beer is fresh from the tapper, and you've got a happy Stacey! Even the employees seem happy to be there and go the extra mile (they bring your food to you!). read more

A&W Restaurant - Happy rootbeer float day! - Burgers Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

Food is always good and hot. Very quick service. Been here many times. Best root beer floats.

Not only was the drive-through sign not lit up and being extremely hard to read, but it took the worker 15 minutes to make 2 shakes. The workers were sitting there talking rather than helping with our irder. I expected better service than what i received read more

You gotta love this store. It's very clean, well maintained, and serves the best Rootbeer floats and cheese curds in the area. It's an owner-operator store, and you can see everyone cares! read more

A&W Restaurant - Burgers Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

The restaurant is always clean. The staff is always friendly. And the root beer, made on the premises is still the same classic root beer it's always been. I suggest you stay and have a frosty mug of it. I do wish the fried cheese curds were cheddar and not mozzarella. I order them, but I am always disappointed. read more

Stopped by here with a coupon as I was running errands and based on other good Yelp reviews. Place is extremely clean with very nice staff. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, cheese curds & a large diet Pepsi, the wicked stepsister to my preferred Diet Coke. It's your standard fast food place but be forewarned: there are no healthy options such as a salad on the menu that I saw. Burgers, chicken samiches, brats, hot dogs. The cheeseburger was on a fresh bun and pretty tasty, but was just a little smaller/thinner and pricier than I was expecting. Bacon was good & crisp. Their cheese curds were tasty. I'd have liked them a tad hotter, with a little more breading and saltier. All in all, I'd like it more if the food were a tad cheaper and if they had Coke products instead....or if I liked root beer. My burger, curds & pop were $9.10. For reference, I can get a Portillo's cheeseburger which is 2x as much beef, small fry & large drink for about $0.70 more and get a much bigger, tastier burger. For a fast food experience, it's not the best value around but a nice change to the other fast food burger joints in the area. I'd give this place 3.5 stars, but curd availability gives them the bump to 4 stars. read more

Tuesdays coney Dog special...cheese curds are the best in the Fox Valley area, I mean they are so addictive! Place is always clean, service is top shelf, and the root beer on draft is worth stopping in for. Prices are a bit high, but the quality of the food is what matters. Thanks. read more

I am a huge fan of this A & W! I've been going to this location since I was 8 at the very least. The food is great and the staff are very friendly and always courteous. From the burgers to the chicken to the hot dogs, everything tastes wonderful and the root beer floats are the greatest around! (sadly I'm not sure of his name) Have I mentioned that the gentleman who typically is in charge of the drive through is great? Just the way he greets customers and handles the orders makes me smile every time :) read more

Ok, so I do not eat at A&W very often. But when I have. The food was fine. But I love their ice cream. But the last 4 ice cream cones were literally empty. As soon as I finish the top of the cone and bite into the cone. It's fucking empty!!! EMPTY!!! I can't make this crap up! I wish I had taken a pic each time. How fucking hard is it to actually fill the cone with soft serve ice cream? And fast food workers want $15 an hour? GTFO!! read more

Every time i go here i always get great food and service. Clean and the juke box will play randomly which is cool. Gives a old school feel. I recommend this place. read more

Love that we live pretty near an A&W since it seems like there's not a lot around. I love the cheese burgers and they taste fresh compared to other fast food places. The chili cheese fries are good and their fries in general. The curds taste pretty good too and we love the signature A&W root beer freeze. The workers seem very nice and we haven't really had any issues with our orders. Love it! read more

Very dirty place!!! I wouldn't recommend coming here bathroom floors oily don't wanna touch anything

Your standard A&W fast food chain, with delicious fries, the best fast food root beer, cheese curds, and all the standards. Fast service from high school kids...you can't beat that! read more

Way better then mcd's and the rest of those chains. They often have $.99 burgers that are filling and their root beer floats are AMAZING!

This is a great restaurant considering its part of a retail chain. I really enjoyed having a cheesburger and some pop at this place. Great place to stop in! read more

this is the best A&W location around! the restaurant and parking lot are always spotless. the waitstaff is consistently friendly and their food is delicious. the tap root beer is SO good (and you can even take jugs to go) and their cheese curds are super tasty. it's a little pricier than other fast food restaurants, but it's completely worth it. ring the bell for good service ;) read more

Decent food with a fast food experience. Staff is very accommodating and willing to let you sit and visit as long as necessary!

Great food and friendly service! Great staff and location. I enjoy the cheese curds the most. Fried and delicious! I recommend if you need a quick meal. read more

I love this place! I ordered cheese curds. Lightly breaded with warm, ooey gooey, melty Wisconsin white cheddar. The best I've ever had by a long shot! On another visit I had a Papa burger which was also very flavorful. And the root beer float was outstanding. It's a good thing I don't live closer; I'd be here every day! read more

This is the A&W I remember as a kid. The food here is great and the root beer tastes the way it should. A&W's problem as a chain appears to be consistency. If all of them were run as well as this one is, they'd be a lot more popular than they are. read more

This place rocks!! The food is always fresh and perfect. The service is very professional and the location is kept in great condition. If you are in the mood for a great burger or even a brat you can not go wrong. read more

I love the burgers and root beer at this location. Good food. Good service. Great location. read more

I've come here several times for a burger. The burgers always taste precooked, dry and cold. The bun doesn't taste that fresh breaking into pieces. I've asked for onion to be added and found one stringy piece added to the burger! Brats, hot dogs are okay. Chicken tenders are delicious! Watch out though! If you ask for extra dipping sauce you will be charged extra for it. Onion rings and fries hot and fresh. Root beer is refreshing and nostalgic. Friendly service even when I'm tired and inpatient at the end of my work day. read more

I wish I lived closer. But still make the occasional trip from Naperville just the same. A&W excels in the most important areas: quality, service, value, and cleanliness! I've never seen this place less than sparkling. There's always great deals on great quality favorites, and this place knows what its customers' favorites are. This A&W is the anti-McDonalds, in that it never seems understaffed, and consequently wait time is rarely extensive. There's also something about its location that I've always liked. I can't put a finger on it. I suppose easy access, plenty of parking as well as seating inside, and being on a nice little stretch of Rt. 31 gives it a lot of that appeal. But there's several times in different seasons where this place just feels special. And reminds me of the feeling I had at some of my favorite places when I was younger. I really love this place. It's worth the trip wherever you're coming from. read more

My family and I have driven by A & W several times and talked about giving it a try. So I checked the reviews here on Yelp and they were pretty favorable. We stopped by for dinner this week and we were all very pleased. We tried the burgers, onion rings, root beer, cheeses curds and chicken tenders. Everything was fresh and tasty. The place is very clean, as other reviews mentioned, and the staff are friendly and responsive. Dollar for dollar, A & W Family Restaurant is an excellent value. If they charged twice as much, then I would have to adjust the stars/rating downward, but their prices are extremely reasonable. We were too full for dessert, but are going to stop by one night to try them. read more

Having after dinner root beer floats. They are vey good. There are lots of good food choices, outdoor seating and lots of ice cream too

This store has been clean and friendly since it opened. Management/owners keep quality up. Very good food; fresh. Always enjoy a burger and root beer from A&W. Favorite is the Papa burger and can't go wrong with a root beer float. read more
