The classic drive thru from the past. This location has actually opened back in 1962, so it is a original spot. Drive up and park or you can eat on the nice outside eating area, about 6 seats inside if you need so. Food is always great, Burgers, onion rings, fries are so so, But cheese curds good. Root Beer would be the best pick for drink, served in classic glass frosted mug, floats available too. I always get the PAPA burger or the double bacon cheeseburger deluxe is the best too.

Overpriced fast food that asks you to tip. Its fun just for the novelty of having somebody come up to your car to take your order, but doesnt make up for the food. Food is a slight step over mcdonalds/burger king and is about double - tripple the cost (I paid $12 for two burgers, no drinks no sides). I would not reccomend this plane nor would I return, despite living less then 5 minutes away.

Dexter A&W. What youd expect from the traditional American drive in diner - burgers, coneys, corn dogs, and dont forget house made root beer and cream soda floats! Waitresses are always chipper and pleasant (cause lets be real - they only hire a certain standard of servers)

ordered crispy chicken sandwich, literally got 2 chicken nuggets between 2 pieces of bread with nothing on it, no mayo, no tomatoes, no lettuce, Just plain chicken? Horrible service. BTW the sandwich cost $5 alone ahahahahah really sad about that :(

Manager noticed me picking onions of my burger, walked over and asked if everything was okay, I Said no, he said okay, explained that my order was taken wrong, didnt offer to make it right and walked away. Five thumbs down!

Fries were soggy, taste like it was cooked the day before. Coney dogs were slapped together, chili and mustard was all over the container like it was turned upside down. Should have sent it back, but I ate it anyways.

Cool spot to stop for lunch...as long as your kids dont run up the little hill to check out the train tracks! THE TRAIN FLIES BY... UNEXPECTEDLY - AW should be putting a warning sign.

Limited seating and somewhat slow service are the downsides, however being able to have a meal outside on picnic tables or delivered to your car is a nice treat. Quite the throwback.

Best A&W in the world. Love the old style drive up and eat in your car. They also have an awesome picnic area by the train tracks. Kids love to watch the big trains that roll by.

Its a lot of fun to eat in your car and have them bring the tray up to your window with the food on it. Their rootbeer floats are also to die for.

Fantastic food. Waitresses are always kind and courteous. Food comes out relatively quickly and is always fresh and hot. Regularly updated menu
