Customer Reviews
If you come here, you're guaranteed a quality experience. High quality beef with soft but crunchy fries. Would you like to drink your root beer out of a mug? This is the place. Personally I recommend the papa burger.
This is our first time here. It wasn't busy. We were greeted right away. I was with some of my family. My father is a navy veteran and was thanked by the manager for his service. They then had a conversation. The employees were super friendly. Made us feel like friends stopping in. The atmosphere was great. Very clean and lots of personal details. Food was average price and very good. Chicken and burgers tasted great. This may have to be a frequent stop on our way to Minneapolis.
I base these reviews on expectations and based on what I expect from a fast food joint, this place blew all expectations away. Service was top notch and food came out super fast. This place is kind of in the middle of nowhere but seems to stay busy. Restaurant and tables were all clean. Cashier was very friendly. They even had a guy who was dressed in the classic style of what you’d expect to see at a 1950’s car hop. Awesome! Food was hot and fresh, not to mention delicious and came out to $13 a person! Very reasonable! The cherry on top was the FRESH root beer which was amazing and only made better with a frozen mug so cold it froze the top of the beverage. Wow! We pass by here on the way to the cities and this will definitely be on our must stop list going forward. This is a
A&W: good food, friendly employees, good location. I love the root beer float and the double cheeseburger, and chicken tenders (on a separate visit). Con: prices are a bit high. Truck Driver: park along Cottonwood Ave., just turn north on the road just west of Casey's, then turn right after Casey's onto Cottonwood, go to the end, turnaround, come back & park along the curb. Nearby businesses: A&W, Casey's, Laundryomat, Pet Wash, Storage Units & later this year: a 42 room hotel.
This restaurant is just plain FUN to visit!! The Double Cheeseburger was juicy and delicious, the onion rings were the best I have EVER eaten, the root beer tasted freshly made that day, and the order taker was super friendly and kind!! She’s a HARD worker!!! Plus, the decor is amazing with the nostalgic theme!!! We will definitely be back!!
