Ok....so Imma be honest here, I didn’t get root beer. I know....I know....the place is known for the root beer floats it has. But, I don’t like root beer. I heard your gasp, chill out dude. Not everyone can be as cool as you. Although, I am pretty close! I love old school drive in eateries. They make my heart smile and transport me back to the days when I was just a speck in the mind of the universe (I am only 35 ok?) The nostalgia is always palpable and attracts me to come in and taste. I have lived in Akron a few years and have passed this place dozens of times. Wa super hungry so I decided to give it a shot! 1) Service was very good. The nice girl we had waiting on us was prompt and courteous. The food was made and served in a flash and I never had to flag anyone down. That right there is worth it’s weight in coney sauce! 2) Plenty of parking spaces. Yay A&W! 3) The food was just meh...I could take it or leave it. Here is what we ordered: A) 2 Coney dogs loaded up: The coney sauce was actually really good. The best part of the entire dog I would say. It was thick but not chunky and nice and flavorful. The hot dogs are warmed in water. EWWWW A long white strip of meat DOES NOT look appealing. Not to mention, it adds no flavor. For all things that are righteous and holy....throw that thing on the grill man! The cheese sauce is typical and the diced onions were scarce and not flavorful. B) 1 small french fry: I hate....lemme repeat HATE crinkle cut fries. I know many people who love them, but not this guy! If I would have known, I wouldn’t have ordered them. I can say though that they were cooked well and were hot and crispy. So, for those that like crinkle cut fries, you would enjoy! C) Coleslaw side: Ok, this is your typical, run of the mill fast food coleslaw. Probably pre made in a bucket. Not horrible but nothing to write home to mom about. Plus, they give you like 4 tablespoons....just a few bites. No thanks. All of this cost me $17 including tip. 2 hot dogs, coleslaw and a small fry. Honestly, I felt ripped off. The bad definitely out weighed the good here. I will be taking this one off my frequent flier list!

I have been going here since I was a child and it was always one of my favorite places to go in the summer. Unfortunately I had not been here in a couple of years until today. I was looking forward to getting my usual order, a coney dog and cream soda. The server informed us that they do not carry cream soda at all. Disappointed, I ordered a root beer instead and we continued to order our meal. At the conclusion of our order, the server then informed us that it is cash-only. This had not been the case in the previous years. Once again disappointed, I asked if there were new owners and the server said no. In fact, to her knowledge, nothing has changed recently (menu or policies). Well something has obviously changed at this location. I am sad to say that I will not be returning to this restaurant (unless they decide to bring their delicious cream soda back!).

Old fashioned drive in A&W. I just love the atmosphere of these places. Only had a root beer. And for the third time in a day, I was disappointed (after trying the Kent and Ravenna locations before). It had the basic flavor profile of draft A&W root beer, but it just wasnt it. It had no foam at all and lacked the quintessential creaminess, intense sweetness and vanilla taste. Even more disappointing than the other two locations. And its a shame, because it seems that the owner has been there forever. You would think that he would truly care about the quality. I hope it was just an odd day...

Waited 40 minutes for food...it is a hot dog, it does not take that long! When I questioned the wait, the OWNER told me that he did not even have my ticket. When I asked him if he thought that it was MY fault, he just turned his back to me. I never even got a "sorry". He did, however, tell me that he did not need my business. I guess nearly twenty dollars for a couple hot dogs, fries and root beers is not enough for the guy. Any business owner that can say that he does not need ANY customer, does not deserve to even be in business!!! I will NEVER go back!!!

Came in one minute till 9 to get a rootbeer.when the server came to the car she said can I help u.then I said can I have a rootbeer.she then responded with Im sorry we are close.if they are open till nine they need to be open to nine or put a sign saying they close 15 minutes till nine.when I went to the owner he was very rude.he said everything is already taken down and clean at that time.i am very disappointed in how the situation was handle.i am never coming back.

The WORST service I have ever experienced!!!!! My waitress/server was very rude!! I was over charged and had my lights on for over 10 min without any service as they walked right past me right after ordering. After I was overcharged they acted as if there was nothing they could do about it. I questioned my bill before I paid and still it was incorrect and they would not fix it. I will NEVER be coming back here again!!!

I had good memories of me eating here as a kid, however the food just isnt the same as I remember. The burger is good, thick and juicy. But Dairy Queen has better. And the fries are just plain terrible and boring. The Root Beer still has its signature taste of course. Its okay food, hardly worth the huge bill and could use some working on to match the good old 90s like I remember.

My Father-in-law and husband died 2 and 1 years ago respectively. On my in-laws anniversary, which is today - August 12 - they always went to A&W for Coney dogs, fries and Root Beer and watched an Indians game. My Mother-in-law and I are now alone. So, tonight for their rememberversary she and I are doing their tradition in style at A&W! #marriedover50years #cantbeatAW

Was advertised to be open and was CLOSED on Sunday before Labor day. Absolute bullshit! Youd think that would be a HUGE money making day considering people are out and about on this day. We dont all bbq believe it or not. Also this cash only crap is for the birds. Not everyone carries cash get with the times. Stupid day to be closed! So disapointed!!

Born and raised in Tallmadge. This was a special place to me. Not anymore. Way to expensive! Foot long coney, onion rings, small shake, and regular root beer. Almost 14 bucks! Only got 5 onion rings, and shake was like milk. Shame Shame on you. I could have gone to Outback for about the same money. The owners must not have a concience.

A&W Tallmadge, Kent, Ravenna .... These are the 3 places to go! The rest is just not the same. Ive been going to these places for over 40 years! Its still the best coney dog, fries, root beer combo for the price out there! Highly recommend!! Have been disappointed at other A&W places besides the 3 mentioned.
