I ate at A&W in Iola, Ks, yesterday on my way home from Kansas City. I had the chili cheese dog with onions, cheese curds and a root beer cream freeze. My favorite. A little history from the late 60's, early 70's. Our A&W here in town had papa burgers, mama burgers, teen burgers, baby burgers and a yummy pizza burger. Our local owners creation. Everyone in town still talks about that pizza burger! Ours closed in the early 80s to make way for a Kmart. It sat across from our drive in movie theater. I miss those days!! If you haven't had the root beer cream freeze, it's a must!
I have fond memories of when we used to have A &W restaurants in my area. They all closed down unfortunately. I love that frosty mug of root beer fresh from the tap. I'm happy to see they still do that. I loved the cool trivia you provided and the classic commercials! That lemonade milkshake looked delicious. I'm going to have to search online now to see if there are any left at all I could take a trip to.
Yum! I love these vintage commercials! It's very cool that you take time to hunt them down. Love it! Love the trivia too! Food looks pretty good too! Thanks, John and Bobbie! Safe travels. 🙏
@@jbinthehills Always. I love supporting you two by liking and commenting. When I launch my home cooking channel, I hope people help me out the same way.
The old commercial made me laugh. Your burgers, onion rings and shake looked really good! Never eaten at an A &W before so thanks for sharing! Pretty shirt Bobbie! Loved the Root Bear!
Glad you enjoy them. We wanted to be different than every else by adding them. We love the retro adds. We look on UA-cam for old ads and watch several before deciding which ones to use. 😎😎
I don't know a&w restaurant now I do yall burgers ❤looks 👌 yummy thanks you guys 😋 burgers 🍔 looks really delicious too last bit 😋 and God bless you guys 😊
I have always loved A&W Rootbeer, wow Lemonade shake, Donny would probably like that, he's a big fan of lemonade, we do have an A&W here in the smokies
@@jbinthehills I do like creamsickle flavor, so I need to try one, we are fasting for 3 weeks though lol, Donny is fasting sweet treats and I'm trying to fast things other than eating meat protein for 3 weeks, praying for Israel with over a million other believers
Everything looks really good, the burgers looked really great, and the onion rings looked better than average. I never ate at A&W before. I would definitely go. Thanks for taking us there. 👍🏻🇺🇸♥️🙏🏻🇺🇸
Hi J& B..how are you? Love the retro commercial at the beginning.both burgers looked good.I love the frosty mugs in that place.made me want a root beer float .lol.thanka for sharing ❤
We were just talking about A&W. The one by our home closed 10 years ago. We were talking about going to the one that’s 20 miles away. Great review. Love the information and the classic commercials. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for another awesome video. I used to like A&W but they're all gone here in San Diego. Come to think of it, we don't have any Long John silver's either, anymore. I look forward to your videos everyday... No pressure 😊. Both of you have a great day.
I always loved there chilli cheese fries and Coney dogs along with the burgers. We lost our A&W yrs ago along with long John silvers, taco bell, burger king, I would rather eat at any of them besides McDonalds. Another great vlog guys stay safe.🤘🇺🇸
Never thought about stopping at the A@W, but your food and shake looked awesome. Thanks for another great video. I used to deliver hot tubs in the Fairmount area, God bless!
Wow is this bringing back some memories! My grandma loved the root beer floats! I can’t recall ever going inside though. We always ate at a picnic table outside or got it delivered to the car with a tray that hooked onto the door!
Wow, those prices were actually really reasonable considering how crazy fast food prices have been! I haven't been to A&W in a zillion years - now I want to go. I would love to try that double mushroom onion melt! Love the Crawdaddy's T-shirt and Bobbie's very patriotic cool tee, cute flower necklace, and fiery nail polish. 🙂
1 Friday a month throughout the 60's and early 70's my Dad took the 8 of us to A&W Drive In. It had always been a Drive In in Texas. Only if we ate our meal could we have a root beer float.😊😊😊 Great memory. Thanks.
Here in my town of Bryan, Ohio we have a A & W/Kfc restaurant. It is probably one of my favorite fast food places to go to. I usually order a bacon double cheeseburger and the onion rings. I have not had the lemonade shake yet, but it along with the rest of your food looked really tasty.
Awesome video and review! Everything looked amazing. It's been a while since we've tried A&W. Our last visit to an A&W was Clarksburgs, and it was very disappointing. I think everybody who worked there was having a bad day, lol. 😅. Fairmont looked clean and well kept. You seemed quite satisfied. Thanks for sharing. 😊
i love the old fashion intro fantastic ,i love their root beer with a frosted mug and i love the coneys and i loved the educational trivia thank you for everything you do
Glad you enjoy the way we put fast food videos together. We wanted to be different by adding retro commercials to the videos as they bring a different flair to the videos. Had never seen that done before and we love anything retro. Glad you enjoy A&W as much as us. Appreciate it Frank as always.😎😎
Thank you Frank appreciate that. We are planning on going to Memphis for few days for Elvis week this year. Graceland makes it hard to film with all the rules they have. I’ll try my best to get as much as we can. 😎😎
@@jbinthehills please do not get in trouble , i was never a huge elvis fan like you guys but you really opened my eyes ,i love how he was great with chidren ,i love his gospel beliefs and i am very upset how all the people around him ,did not help him
We have 3- A &W's near us (20 minutes) and we love the food! When i was alot younger we had a drive- in where you could order on a speaker and they would bring it out to you in their drive-in! It was right in the middle of our small town in NewBaltimore mich. Like i said, a long time ago, where 3 could eat for less that $10. Good review!
Started at the local A&W at 15 in 1969 as a carhop after school and on the weekends. After 6 mos graduated to cook. Each week I mixed the root beer post mix and filled the canisters for the fountain and also dismantled and cleaned the ice cream machine. Every Thursday was 17 cent Coney Dogs and I would buy 6 to take home. Two elderly ladies would drive from a small town about 15 miles away and order a Black Cow. The first time I had no idea what they were talking. Seems that was what a root beer float was called back in their younger days. Good Times.
There is something Americana about A&W, the classic menu, and the iconic root beer. Millions of Americans recall the A&W carhops that were all over the nation from the 1950's to the late 1980's.
I made your food and I really appreciate the good review guys! Come bacc and see us soon! Make sure you come in before 4pm and ask for Gage. I'd be more than glad to take care of yall again!
We loved going to A&W when we were kids ! We got the little frosted mug of root beer!!!! The burgers and fries were so good !! We ate at one a couple years ago and it was not good . We were so sad ! 😢
Route 30 in Bedford, Pa. has an A&W. We have to stop for a frosty mug. They have diet sugar free root beer too. As always, I enjoy your reviews, interesting information and background music. Even in the rain & wind Bobby, your hair is always beautiful. And-- no wrinkles in the tees you guys wear! How is that possible? Can’t wait to see the next adventure.❤
Hey guys i love your addition of old commercials in the videos...its very entertaining and your honest reviews rock...the last A+W we run across was in Greybull Wyoming...actually it was the only chain food place there..the rest were private owned..watching you both chow down made me want some but ours left our city yrs ago...keep rockin and making great videos for us all....🌻🌻
Sandi would love this new burger and loves the A&W restaurant. Unfortunately she can't have anything like this for at least six weeks I am thinking. Love the classic commercial at the beginning!
I bet she would Rock. Tell Sandy we will be praying for her still and glad she is doing well. Always enjoy your videos showing us all the amusement parks. The commercials I feel add to the videos and wanted to do something nobody has done by using them in our fast food videos. We love retro of anything. Thanks for checking in and hope to see you soon. We are also not going to Dollywood for the coaster release. 😎😎
We had an A&W in town for years up until 2020 actually. Sadly, we didn't appreciate them as much until they were gone... Just like the old saying goes lol. However, we have gone to the one in pigeon forge a couple times but I'm so glad they stay afloat (see what I did there?😂) Despite all the competitors and being off the beaten path in most areas!! Great video review... That onion straw burger looks tasty!
Loved that play on words Julz. I know what you mean once it’s gone you are like wow wish that was still here. Shoneys is a place I worry about going under because they are a landmark. The one in the Pigeon Forge area looks very nice. Thanks for the comment 😎😎
@@jbinthehills yesssss that's another one! Even Denny's.... I think the A&W "weekly specials" is a good marketing strategy. I mean, it's gotta be difficult to try and stand out and get a competitive edge with something always being built next door or across the street and everyone wanting to jump on the next biggest thing! 100 years for A&W is really impressive! And btw... Of course! Y'all ROCK! 🤘🏻 I'm always watching 🩵🩷
In Canada A&W call the Bacon, Cheese Burger Bobby's eating, "The Teen Burger"...The Franchise in Canada have the Mama burger, the Papa burger, the teen burger and the buddy burger...they even sometimes have the twin burgers..lol A&W changed the beef they use here to grass-fed...I personally don't like the taste of the meat here in Toronto! I do however like the Root Beer!
Thanks for sharing the information. The hamburgers were good for being frozen. John loves the root beer in the frosty mug. The lemonade shake was very good. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
I'm drinking A&W root beer tonight as we speak. I love A & W restaurant I miss it in New Jersey we don't have it here I wish we did. I love the big glass frosted mugs of root beer
A&W is my favorite fast food restaurant. Their fries have even surpassed Macca's fries. The menu here is vastly different though. Not as much selection but gimme a Mama combo any day of the week and I'm a happy camper. We had a Ringer burger last month for baseball season opening. It was really good. ETA : My local A&W has the BEST customer service too. It's always such a pleasure going there. The staff is so nice all the time and they work hard to make sure the orders are 100% correct.
I think there’s still one in Sevierville but we’ve never tried it. That shake looked delicious! We might have to check it out next time we’re in town. Thanks guys!😊
Can't go wrong with A&W . I really haven't had any thing bad there and I am picky . I really enjoy the cheese curds even if they are not the real ones. Great trivia. Thanks again for your review.
Love that you made a video close to home! Have you ever tried Colasantes restaurant in Westover WV? If you havent, you definitely need to! And do a video! Lol
I'm happy to see A&W still exists, the last one I was in was in Winnemucca Nevada, sometime in the 1990s. And thanks to your trivia info I now know their bacon burger and I are the same age😆. Thanks for another great review, I remember that retro commercial! Those old commercials are great and really add more interest to your videos, good job guys!
Hi Bobbie and John the burgers look great and the onion rings are done just right. The Lemonade Shake looked delicious. Thank you for this great video keep giving us a view of so many different places and food. Safe travels and stay well.
Hi guys haven't seen A&W in a long time. Enjoyed the review especially the info commercials. I love root beer looked so freshing especially in that nice big glass mug. Safe travels guys❤😎😎
Used to frequent the A&W in Biloxi, MS. It was said that Elvis dated a girl from Biloxi in his early days, and used to go to this A&W. Just a little A&W history.
All right! I'm going to A&W tomorrow! They're at my local mall, and it's only two buses (one way). I'll get the lemonade shake (talk about industrial strength YUM!), and the bacon burger (no tomatoes). I have to stop drooling! 🤣🤤🤣 And thank you both for all that you've done! We ALL appreciate your hard work!
I went to my local mall, mentally writing my review---and the A&W was GONE, and a smoothie shop is in it's place 😱 😭. Talk about a bummer (especially since I don't like smoothies!).
It’s a very limited time offer for me. Don’t have one near me. I don’t believe I’ve even seen one. Strange considering how big they once were. Love the history of the place. Great to learn something new. Chipotle sauce on onion rings is great! And the burgers looked good. Hopefully I’ll get to A+W in the future. Lastly all of those years selling root root beer made with sassafras and no problems. I still smoke food with sassafras wood. I’m still kicking!😂
HI GUYS, WOW THOSE BURGERS LOOKED DELICIOUS ! I WOULD LOVE TO TRY THE LEMONADE SHAKE (THANKS JOHN FOR SHARING, YOU ALWAYS LET US HAVE TASTE!!) I LOVE ROOT BEER. I THINK I AM STARVING RIGHT NOW, SO I WOULD GO FOR JOHN'S BURGER THIS TIME. THANKS FOR A LOVELY VIDEO ONCE AGAIN. VAL
Oh my goodness! I love, love, love A&W Rootbeet! Especially from the soda fountain. It tastes so rich and creamy. I love their bacon cheese burgers too. It brings me back to my childhood! ❤❤❤ Kasey Kasim always did their commercials I'd forgotten that. I miss Kasey ! The last time I even saw an A&W was in Indiana. Living in Tennessee I have never seen one, but ithere is probably one in Nashville. If there's one at all. So many fast food restaurants are struggling. I think with the prices going up, people figure they'd rather spend a dollar more and have a sit down dinner. Y'all are our and about a lot....what do you think?
Hmm here in winnipeg we don’t have half the items you guys have. The cheeseburger Bobby had is our teen burger. We’ve never had the crunch burger and we don’t have hot dogs anymore. We do have chicken burgers and chicken tenders. Our onions are made in the restaurant with a batter and bread crumbs. They’re really good. You can also add seasoning salt to them
They don't make the onion rings in this location. We ask the This manager and he said they were frozen. But for being frozen, they were very good. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
You know what there was another place up in Big Bear California I don't think you remember this roofer called hires root beer restaurant it was kind of like A & W we had really good hamburgers and cheeseburgers were really good delicious
I guess you are right if you look at it that way. He got no credit for it. They even have a ad that I didn’t use that said they invented it. Appreciate you watching.😎😎

Cooked a load of those burgers as well as coney dogs. Used to give baby mugs of root beer free to kids 4 and under.

Sadvso many of these restaurants have closed. John loves the root beer in the frosty mug. If you find an A&W, definitely try the lemonade shake. 😎😎
The first one ever made upstate still exist im pretty sure they closed it for a wile then opened back up agian a couple years ago
Yum! I love these vintage commercials! It's very cool that you take time to hunt them down. Love it! Love the trivia too!
Food looks pretty good too!

It was very good 😎😎
Reminds me that we once lived just outside of Syracuse, NY & had a local A&W Rootbeer Stand. Loved their floats! Delicious!
John loves the root beer in the frosty mug. 😎😎
The burgers look great!We don't habe any A&W restaurants near us, but wish we did!Thanks guys!
I know a lot of these restaurants have closed. Sorry you don't have an A&W close to you. The lemonade shake was very good. 😎😎
Good memories of going to A & W when we went on vacation to florida in the sixties . When i was a child.
Wish we had one in Atlanta
They were everywhere I the 60s and 70s. I went with my dad a lot to them.😎😎
Sounds delicious
It was good. I really liked the lemonade shake. 😎😎
Just watched for the first time. You do a good job. Will watch more.
Thank you. We appreciate you watching. 😎😎
I love A& W root beer fast food places, we had 1 years ago in the small town we grow up in, in Illinois. Yummy.
John loves the root beer in a frosty mug. 😎😎
I lived and worked at one in Salem Illinois 1969-1973. Where did you grow up?
Everything looks really good, the burgers looked really great, and the onion rings looked better than average. I never ate at A&W before. I would definitely go. Thanks for taking us there. 👍🏻🇺🇸♥️🙏🏻🇺🇸

Hello Wendy. We are doing well . We like the old commercials too. It's interesting to see how much cheaper food used to be. Have a good day. 😎😎
Really great stuff you 2! There used to be an A&W Stand down the street from our house 50 years ago.

One of my first jobs was as a car hop at A&W in my hometown in Central Illinois. It as a great way to meet guys!
That is cool. I bet it was a good way to meet guys. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
Me too only in South Central Illinois. Course being male I wasn't looking to meet guys. 😂

Hey guys i love your addition of old commercials in the videos...its very entertaining and your honest reviews rock...the last A+W we run across was in Greybull Wyoming...actually it was the only chain food place there..the rest were private owned..watching you both chow down made me want some but ours left our city yrs ago...keep rockin and making great videos for us all....🌻🌻
Thanks Kelly glad you enjoy the commercials. I also believe it adds to the retro effect. Thanks for the comment and hope you find one you can go to.😎😎
I haven't seen one of those in almost 40 years. Great to see you actually survived..
For a fast food restaurant, the hamburger was pretty good. John loves the root beer in the frosty mug. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
Sandi would love this new burger and loves the A&W restaurant. Unfortunately she can't have anything like this for at least six weeks I am thinking. Love the classic commercial at the beginning!
I bet she would Rock. Tell Sandy we will be praying for her still and glad she is doing well. Always enjoy your videos showing us all the amusement parks. The commercials I feel add to the videos and wanted to do something nobody has done by using them in our fast food videos. We love retro of anything. Thanks for checking in and hope to see you soon. We are also not going to Dollywood for the coaster release. 😎😎
We had an A&W in town for years up until 2020 actually. Sadly, we didn't appreciate them as much until they were gone... Just like the old saying goes lol. However, we have gone to the one in pigeon forge a couple times but I'm so glad they stay afloat (see what I did there?😂) Despite all the competitors and being off the beaten path in most areas!!
Great video review... That onion straw burger looks tasty!
Loved that play on words Julz. I know what you mean once it’s gone you are like wow wish that was still here. Shoneys is a place I worry about going under because they are a landmark. The one in the Pigeon Forge area looks very nice. Thanks for the comment 😎😎
@@jbinthehills yesssss that's another one! Even Denny's....
I think the A&W "weekly specials" is a good marketing strategy. I mean, it's gotta be difficult to try and stand out and get a competitive edge with something always being built next door or across the street and everyone wanting to jump on the next biggest thing!
100 years for A&W is really impressive!
And btw... Of course! Y'all ROCK! 🤘🏻 I'm always watching 🩵🩷
Dennys is another. We almost did a Dennys the other day. We appreciate you watching that helps us so much and appreciate the kind words.😎😎
In Canada A&W call the Bacon, Cheese Burger Bobby's eating, "The Teen Burger"...The Franchise in Canada have the Mama burger, the Papa burger, the teen burger and the buddy burger...they even sometimes have the twin burgers..lol A&W changed the beef they use here to grass-fed...I personally don't like the taste of the meat here in Toronto! I do however like the Root Beer!
Thanks for sharing the information. The hamburgers were good for being frozen. John loves the root beer in the frosty mug. The lemonade shake was very good. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
I'm drinking A&W root beer tonight as we speak. I love A & W restaurant I miss it in New Jersey we don't have it here I wish we did. I love the big glass frosted mugs of root beer
John loves the frosty mug with root beer. 😎😎
You don't?
@@TammysCoffeeTalks I don't like root beer. 😎😎
A&W is my favorite fast food restaurant. Their fries have even surpassed Macca's fries. The menu here is vastly different though. Not as much selection but gimme a Mama combo any day of the week and I'm a happy camper. We had a Ringer burger last month for baseball season opening. It was really good.
ETA : My local A&W has the BEST customer service too. It's always such a pleasure going there. The staff is so nice all the time and they work hard to make sure the orders are 100% correct.
I bet the Ringer burger was good. It is always so nice to go into a restaurant where the customer service is friendly.😎😎
I think there’s still one in Sevierville but we’ve never tried it. That shake looked delicious! We might have to check it out next time we’re in town. Thanks guys!😊
You are right. There is one in Sevierville . We saw it the last time we were in Tennessee. 😎😎
I wish we had an A&W. We have never had one in Alabama. Looked good.
So many of their restaurants have closed. John loves the root beer in the frosty mug. 😎😎
good morning from dallas tx great show
Good morning George thanks for stopping in.😎😎
Can't go wrong with A&W . I really haven't had any thing bad there and I am picky . I really enjoy the cheese curds even if they are not the real ones. Great trivia. Thanks again for your review.
Have to try the cheese curds sometime.We always have a great meal here also.😎😎
Oh and you got to try their cream soda delicious
John likes their root beer in the frosty mug.😎😎
I worked at A&W in 1983 and we made our own onion rings!! That was in Minot , North Dakota
Even though they didn't make the onion rings, they were pretty good. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
Love that you made a video close to home! Have you ever tried Colasantes restaurant in Westover WV? If you havent, you definitely need to! And do a video! Lol
We usually try restaurants in our area when they get something new on the menu. I used to go there when they were called Westover pizza.😎😎
@@jbinthehills I did too lol it's my favorite restaurant!
I'm happy to see A&W still exists, the last one I was in was in Winnemucca Nevada, sometime in the 1990s.
And thanks to your trivia info I now know their bacon burger and I are the same age😆.
Thanks for another great review, I remember that retro commercial! Those old commercials are great and really add more interest to your videos, good job guys!
Thank you so much for the nice comment. John puts a lot of time editing and looking up information for our videos. 😎😎
Hi Bobbie and John the burgers look great and the onion rings are done just right. The Lemonade Shake looked delicious. Thank you for this great video keep giving us a view of so many different places and food. Safe travels and stay well.
@Patricia Hello Patricia. Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. The lemonade shake was excellent. 😎😎
A &w is so good, they are a massive chain that’s underrated
Their hamburgers are pretty good for being a fast food restaurant. 😎😎
Gosh I miss those around here! We had a few in our neck of the woods but they closed them and the long john silvers around here out. 😢
I think a lot of restaurants have closed. That is sad. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
A good old mug of A & W rootbeer. Nothing is better!
John loves the root beer in the frosty mug. 😎😎
Hi guys haven't seen A&W in a long time. Enjoyed the review especially the info commercials. I love root beer looked so freshing especially in that nice big glass mug. Safe travels guys❤😎😎
You mean beer not bear
@@trishpage5380 lol opps
@@doreenkratzer6685 no worries it happens
That’s the best Root Beer you can get in that mug. Hopefully you can find one and try it for yourself. Thanks Doreen😎😎
Happens to us all the time. 😎😎
Haven't been to an A&W since I was a kid. That looks really good. Lemonade milkshake sounds refreshing.
Try to find one and get that milkshake it was amazing.😎😎
Used to frequent the A&W in Biloxi, MS. It was said that Elvis dated a girl from Biloxi in his early days, and used to go to this A&W. Just a little A&W history.
Thank you for the Elvis trivia. 😎😎
Burgers looks delicious 😋 Lemonade shake Yum 😋 I would have to have onion rings 😋
The onion rings are better than the fries. The lemonade shake was very good. We both should have gotten one.😎😎
All right! I'm going to A&W tomorrow! They're at my local mall, and it's only two buses (one way). I'll get the lemonade shake (talk about industrial strength YUM!), and the bacon burger (no tomatoes). I have to stop drooling! 🤣🤤🤣
And thank you both for all that you've done! We ALL appreciate your hard work!
Let us know what you think about the lemonade shake. Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate it. 😎😎
I went to my local mall, mentally writing my review---and the A&W was GONE, and a smoothie shop is in it's place 😱 😭. Talk about a bummer (especially since I don't like smoothies!).
@@denisenilsson1366 So sorry to hear that.😎😎
@@jbinthehills Such is life. 🙂
The lemonade shake looks delicious also!!😋
The lemonade shake was very good. 😎😎
That looks yummy yummy 😋 we don’t have them here in upstate New York well 73 miles away there’s one 👍❤️✌️🙏🏻💪🏻
The lemonade shake was very good. For fast food, it was good. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
It’s a very limited time offer for me. Don’t have one near me. I don’t believe I’ve even seen one. Strange considering how big they once were. Love the history of the place. Great to learn something new. Chipotle sauce on onion rings is great! And the burgers looked good. Hopefully I’ll get to A+W in the future. Lastly all of those years selling root root beer made with sassafras and no problems. I still smoke food with sassafras wood. I’m still kicking!😂
The FDA sometimes over react on things. I hope you do find one because you would love this new shake and burger. Thanks as always.😎😎
We go to the A&W root beer in VT and Lake George, NY when we visit. 👍🎅🏻
John loves their root beer in those ice cold mugs.😎😎
HI GUYS, WOW THOSE BURGERS LOOKED DELICIOUS ! I WOULD LOVE TO TRY THE LEMONADE SHAKE (THANKS JOHN FOR SHARING, YOU ALWAYS LET US HAVE TASTE!!) I LOVE ROOT BEER. I THINK I AM STARVING RIGHT NOW, SO I WOULD GO FOR JOHN'S BURGER THIS TIME. THANKS FOR A LOVELY VIDEO ONCE AGAIN. VAL
John is very good about sharing Val.🤣 The lemonade shake was very good. 😎😎
We used to go to the mobile gas/ a and w in cloma wis when we went up to our lakehouse in upper wis. They are massive chain in wis
Glad to see they are still all around the country. Thanks for info.😎😎
We are so lucky in Vermont. We have one A&W drive in/carhop service in the whole state. You have to get onion rings!
I like their onion rings. We appreciate you watching. 😎😎
@@jbinthehills you're welcome!
Oh my goodness! I love, love, love A&W Rootbeet! Especially from the soda fountain. It tastes so rich and creamy. I love their bacon cheese burgers too. It brings me back to my childhood! ❤❤❤
Kasey Kasim always did their commercials I'd forgotten that. I miss Kasey ! The last time I even saw an A&W was in Indiana. Living in Tennessee I have never seen one, but ithere is probably one in Nashville. If there's one at all. So many fast food restaurants are struggling. I think with the prices going up, people figure they'd rather spend a dollar more and have a sit down dinner.
Y'all are our and about a lot....what do you think?
John loves the root beer in a frosty mug. I used to listen to Kasey Kasim top 40 every week. 😎😎
We went to one in Sevierville, Tn. a few yrs. ago. Don't know if it's still there.
@@karmasnan It is still there.😎😎
My family used to eat at A & W drive in regularly. I always picked the Teen Burger (bacon cheeseburger) even though I technically didn't qualify.
They have good hamburgers even though they are frozen. 😎😎
Y'all need to come to Canada for the real A&W, just like when we were kids, plus you get actual frozen mugs and real dishes!
We want to visit Canada sometime. John has been there before, but I haven't. John loves the frosty mug rootbeer. We appreciate you watching. 😎😎
Oh this will be the one I show the kids just because of the old commercial!!
We love seeing the old commercials. It is amazing how much the prices have gone up.😎😎
Good morning from Gatlinburg TN 🌄🐻
Good morning Sean. Have a great day exploring Gatlinburg today for us.😎😎
My sister's first job was at A&W in Owosso, Michigan in 1957.
Thanks for watching and commenting 😎😎
After watching this,I'm going down to our local A & W and grab some lunch!
Hope you have a great meal.😎😎
Hmm here in winnipeg we don’t have half the items you guys have. The cheeseburger Bobby had is our teen burger. We’ve never had the crunch burger and we don’t have hot dogs anymore. We do have chicken burgers and chicken tenders.
Our onions are made in the restaurant with a batter and bread crumbs. They’re really good. You can also add seasoning salt to them
They don't make the onion rings in this location. We ask the This manager and he said they were frozen. But for being frozen, they were very good. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
I do have a A&W and mug. The last A&W restaurant I went to was in Wisconsin outside of Madison
John used to have an A&W mug. But I think it got broken. 😎😎
I love A .&W .Coney dogs and root beer 🍺 floats .We would ways buy a half gallon of root beer to go .
We like the coney dogs, too. John loves the root beer in the frosty mug. 😎😎
You know what there was another place up in Big Bear California I don't think you remember this roofer called hires root beer restaurant it was kind of like A & W we had really good hamburgers and cheeseburgers were really good delicious
We didn't know that. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
Ahhh so love root beer, the only place to get it here in the UK is at shops here that specifically sell American products. Not cheap though.
John loves root beer. I am not a fan of it. The lemon shake was very good. 😎😎
I remember going here as a kid, I always got the mini corn 🌽 dogs 🌭
They have pretty good hamburgers. John likes their root beer in a frosty mug. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
Cool A&W restaurant review
They had great food😎😎
@@jbinthehills cool I wish that they have an A&W restaurant where I live in Revere Massachusetts.
@@melissahernandez3072 I wish you had one too. The lemonade shake was very good 😎😎
@@jbinthehills yum
sorry they didnt really invent the bacon cheeseburger. the customer who kept insisting putting bacon on the burger did 😏
I guess you are right if you look at it that way. He got no credit for it. They even have a ad that I didn’t use that said they invented it. Appreciate you watching.😎😎
