I stopped by A&W for a quick meal, and it did not disappoint! 🍔 The atmosphere felt like a nostalgic throwback with 50's tunes playing in the background. I ordered their classic double bacon cheeseburger and a frosted mug of root beer - simply unbeatable!

The burger was juicy, though I did ask for light mustard. The cheese curds were a delicious side too! 🧀

Just a reminder, the drive-thru can get busy and may lead to mix-ups, so I recommend dining in if you're particular about your order. Overall, it’s a solid stop for a casual bite! 🌟
