A&W Canada — Restaurant in British Columbia

The food was fine, the atmosphere inside left something to be desired. Initially everyone seemed friendly and I ordered for myself and kids. After ordering we were then asked to only sit at a table on the right side as the left side with booths was already being cleaned and would be closed. It was only 5:30 pm and I prefer a booth when available as opposed to a wooden chair but okay we can do that. We were the only people dining in for the duration of our meal but their door hours say they're open until 9 pm. We chose a table on the right side as instructed and halfway through our meal they decided to come and change a mostly empty garbage right beside us while we were eating. When we chose the seat we never considered our proximity to the garbage. When the bin is put away inside the cabinet there is lots of walking room around the table, but after the bin is pulled out it turns out it's actually right beside the person eating at the table. Again we were the only diners in the restaurant and the garbage was not near full or overflowing at the time. We rushed to finish our meals and get out as we clearly got the vibe we weren't actually welcome to be dining inside and were in the way of their closing cleaning even tho it was still 3.5 hrs till their posted closing time. There was an entire restaurant they could've been tending to for the 15-20 min we were inside. Continuing to clean close enough we could almost bump you with our elbow after we already complied with staying away from where they had already started doing closing cleaning seemed inappropriate. We may still use the drive through but I won't be dining in and rushing the kids through another meal. If you don't want people inside, don't open the dining room. (I will also now be considering our proximity to garbage receptacles when choosing seats at any restaurant going forward just in case they have to pull a bin out again. I don't like it...

When I looked it up, it says they are open until 10 and the dining area is open till 9. Two others and I got there at 8 and they first said we can't eat inside but eventually budged after we asked continuously. Then when ordering they said they already cleaned the grill so many of the food items couldn't be made. I am a vegetarian and wanted an impossible burger but they said they weren't going to make it so I had to get the only other option which was the masala burger thing and it was ok but not what I really wanted. My boyfriend got one of their burgers and said they can heat up the 3oz burgers but won't do the 5oz patties because again they don't want to have to clean the grill again. I understand cleaning a little early but 2 hours...

The staff ignored me until I asked if she would take my order, there was no one else in line. The staff was rude and stated at me without answering when I asked a question about the menu, when I asked again she acted as if I was being difficult. They did not give me any sauce with my sweet potato fries and tried charging me when I asked for sauce. I was charged 20 dollars for what looked to be a value menu chicken sandwich, I realized after that I was given a smaller patty than what I paid for. I was very disappointed in the experience, I would recommend just going to subway if you’re going...
