Description

A&W serves up frosty glass mugs of root beer, sizzling grass-fed beef burgers, and crispy hand-battered onion rings right at the lively corner of Commercial Drive and Broadway.

Early birds line up for classic breakfast sandwich combos featuring real eggs and maple bacon on toasted English muffins, while afternoon crowds drop in for Teen Burgers, crunchy chicken tenders, and sweet potato fries.

The counter team keeps orders flipping fast for quick sit-down meals or rapid transit-stop takeout.

Golden fries, creamy root beer floats, and plant-based Beyond Meat burgers round out a nostalgic Canadian diner menu built on simple, quality ingredients. Fast self-serve ordering kiosks keep lines moving smoothly during heavy morning rushes and late-evening transfers.

Hungry travelers and neighborhood locals score fresh, hot comfort food made to order all day long.
