The food was fine, the atmosphere inside left something to be desired. Initially everyone seemed friendly and I ordered for myself and kids. After ordering we were then asked to only sit at a table on the right side as the left side with booths was already being cleaned and would be closed. It was only 5:30 pm and I prefer a booth when available as opposed to a wooden chair but okay we can do that. We were the only people dining in for the duration of our meal but their door hours say they're open until 9 pm. We chose a table on the right side as instructed and halfway through our meal they decided to come and change a mostly empty garbage right beside us while we were eating. When we chose the seat we never considered our proximity to the garbage. When the bin is put away inside the cabinet there is lots of walking room around the table, but after the bin is pulled out it turns out it's actually right beside the person eating at the table. Again we were the only diners in the restaurant and the garbage was not near full or overflowing at the time. We rushed to finish our meals and get out as we clearly got the vibe we weren't actually welcome to be dining inside and were in the way of their closing cleaning even tho it was still 3.5 hrs till their posted closing time. There was an entire restaurant they could've been tending to for the 15-20 min we were inside. Continuing to clean close enough we could almost bump you with our elbow after we already complied with staying away from where they had already started doing closing cleaning seemed inappropriate. We may still use the drive through but I won't be dining in and rushing the kids through another meal. If you don't want people inside, don't open the dining room. I will also now be considering our proximity to garbage receptacles when choosing seats at any restaurant going forward just in case they have to pull a bin out again. I don't like it beside my food.
Traveling from Indiana to Alaska my husband and I stopped to eat in Ft Nelson. The food, and service, and atmosphere were wonderful. The manager and staff went above and beyond to help us with the road closures due to the wild fires in Canada. We didn't have cell service and they looked up the info for us, and even helped us get cell service for our Canadian travels. If we ever get back up there we would definitely go back there again. We also just loved how clean everything was, and how friendly everyone was. Kudos to Ft Nelson A&W!!!!
If you are looking for a good burger and root beer chain, that has many franchises across Canada and a few in the USA with basic American fare and delicious root beer, then you have found it in this place.nnWhen I needed to travel across the Western side of all of Canada to rescue my stranded adult kids in Alberta, I was unaware that I was going to see almost as many A&W restaurants as McDonald's.nnThe food was pretty good, but not amazing. The service staff was kind and the atmosphere was good because the place was squeaky clean.
The staff ignored me until I asked if she would take my order, there was no one else in line. The staff was rude and stated at me without answering when I asked a question about the menu, when I asked again she acted as if I was being difficult. They did not give me any sauce with my sweet potato fries and tried charging me when I asked for sauce. I was charged 20 dollars for what looked to be a value menu chicken sandwich, I realized after that I was given a smaller patty than what I paid for. I was very disappointed in the experience, I would recommend just going to subway if you’re going through the area.
Always welcomes us when we come in the doors. They know what we order as we are regulars. They are always smiling and bring our orders to the table and chat with us. Food always comes the way we like it!
