Our food was excellent. It was convenient, right next door to our hotel. Service was fast and the people who worked there were very friendly.

Why write a review for a fast food chain? This place did everything right. The staff was friendly, order correct, service prompt and food tasty. It's fast food so your expectations shouldn't be really high. But if you are passing through town on your way to Glacier and need a quick place to eat this A&W will work.

We had not eaten in an A&W in years. The 1st time we each had a hamburger & my husband also got a salad. The salad was so good we ordered two to go and had them the next day after one of our hikes in Glacier. Our last night we didn't want to eat a heavy meal as we... More

Yum, I love A&W. A little pricey, but usually worth it! Staff are young, fast and friendly. They even have rootbeer flavored Ice-cream, how great!

The atmosphere at the A & W is really cool. They have a lot of old fashioned decorations and it looks like it might have back in the 50's or 60's. The food is okay, about the same as you would get at Wendy's. Of course you go for the root beer floats though. i was disappointed that they did... More

I haven't eaten at A&W since I was a kid. Loved the Frosty Mug taste of the root beer! Cleanliness was a bit of an issue-- I had to wipe our table off, and the restaurant wasn't that busy.

The Service was good, but food quality was poor. Food was greasy, heavy and lacking in taste. Prices were expensive for fast food.

At here for a quick cheap bite to eat with the family, and we were very pleased. Luckily they also have a couple of Tuesday specials and we tried them both (coney hot dog and country fried steak and gravy). Also, the kids liked drinking out of their frosty mugs.

I am a local who has eaten at this particular location more than once. Their service is hit or miss and I feel a little bit bad for not having reviewed a visit on one of their good days, but this was rediculas. 35 minutes for 3 "blenders", 2 "slushies, 1 shake, and 1 smoothie. Not an apology one. Even... More
