    Strawberry ice cream shake.  Perfection.
    Star M.

    We saw this A&W classic while walking on Main Street in downtown Tonopah, Nevada. After two disappointing ventures in local cuisine, I was just going to get a milkshake. I ended up rather enjoying the cheeseburger and the fries were fresh. Just not my favorite style. The cashier was wonderful. I would definitely go back! I did go back. The second time back, I got another shake. Just as good as the first! We were* going to buy the little root beer mug/ glass as a souvenir, in which they had available. This cashier however, was quite rude, said they were closing & we couldn't get the glass / after just informing us of the cost, basically kicked us out so ... I don't understand that. I suppose the service is 'hit or miss'. The ambience is that of a fast food joint set in a casino type building off the main road. Down the stairs there's a ladies room which is so much nicer than I was expecting. Hope this helps ;)

    So good!!!

    Great, friendly service. Fun chili cheese dogs and fries. And, of course, the best rootbeer in a giant chilled mug! So fun!

    WTF is this?

    This particular A&W has been going downhill. I don't know what they served me, but that does not look like what I ordered. At least they have a messed up the chicken tenders yet.

    This is the best place we have found to eat while charging our tesla and getting back on the road quickly. We have stopped several times and it is always clean.

    I just visited this location on Monday and my experience was great! The staff were very kind and the place was clean. I enjoyed the food as well! The cashier was a very sweet young lady and she complimented me saying I was very pretty and looked like a superstar :) I didn't get a chance to ask her name.

    The staff and fellow guests were so kind and helpful. From meal suggestions to driving directions. The food was freshly prepared and delicious This soda was the so good, for those that know me; they know I don't ever drink soda pop.

    Visited there 10/7. I ordered a single tender and after hearing their list of sauces, I asked for ranch & also added a Spicy Papa Sauce too. No mention that the SPS was $.69. As they were starting to deliver drinks & part of our order, they mentioned they were out of the SPS. No problem, I ordered 1 finger, ranch was perfectly fine. No idea at this point that I was charged for the SPS sauce. As I glance at my receipt, that's when I realized they charged me $.69 for the SPS. After learning I was charged for a sauce they were out of, I went to the clerk at the register (Stacie) to get my refund. Principle here folks. She gave me a song & dance about how they were then charging me for ranch then. Receipt says Ranch $.00. Also stated BBQ sauce was $.00 on receipt. Was not in the mood to argue. We also ordered 2 Root Beer Floats, did not get 2 .. 1 was a freeze instead. Food was ho-hum. Probably won't go back.

    The chicken tenders are fantastic and juicy, the burgers are perfect, and the root beer floats are to die for.

    Fast Food restaurant at a truck stop [Tonopah NV]…read more On the way home from Vegas we stopped at this truck stop gas station in Tonopah NV. Chester's is located inside the Loves Travel Stop. We just wanted to get a quick bite so we didn't have to make another stop elsewhere (except maybe at a rest stop). Chose a couple of Super Tenders and Chicken Bites (tossed in Frank's RedHot® Stingin' Honey Garlic™ sauce). It had a little kick to it. I was pleasantly surprised... the chicken was pretty good, juicy, white meat chicken! The gal at the counter was helpful and nice and she was fast too. They have indoor table seating available. It was quite busy that afternoon. Situated next to Godfather's Pizza Express. Review #3536

    It's been near a year since we passed through Tonopah. Still so happy the gas station open here. It…read moreis the cheapest gas in town. Decided to get some fried chicken from Chesters again. I was impressed with the last visit. There was a bit of a line for food after I got gas. Still the line went pretty fast. Very friendly counter. What I ordered: Four piece chicken tender. For about two dollars more you can get a combo which includes a large drink and a choice of sides.. the sides were potato salad, macaroni, potato wedges. I went for wedges and a lemonade. Chicken was crispy on the outside and moist steam on the inside. Just the way I like it. $13 with tax. That would be a bit steep in Reno, however, on the road, getting traveling food, not a horrible price. Definitely will stop again lol!

Once again, I pulled up the Raley's app and they have no chips ... that is correct. They do not have Lays potato chips, ruffles, Doritos... nothing listed in the app so we can check any sales or specials. I remembered that this happened last year and sure enough... they have lots of chips and they have sayles but it's just not on the app. It is strange. Family Dollar, right next-door does have an app, and they list Snacks and my wife wanted to go there, but I told her I'm pretty sure Raleys will have some good snacks. It's just they don't put them on the app. I wonder how many people skip stopping at Raleys because they think they don't have chips lol. We also bought some fruit, drinks, and stuff from the deli. If I hadn't taken a chance, we would've stopped at Family Dollar next-door and just got drinks and snacks and Raley's would've lost some business.. Again, as a year later, I suggest actually listing items you have in the store on the app so we can shop using the app .

We stopped in to grab mostly snacks and some yummy drinks. When you walk into Raley's and go the right, the aisle closest to the end has all these single package snacks. Me and my brother are both vegan and we scored in this aisle! I could not believe all the different types of foods that they had, and all were very healthy! I read a review that said they were expensive. I think everything is relative. If you are traveling through and need some great foods, I would drop into Raley's... oh and the service there is amazing!
