Just popped in for a quick breakfast while we were getting ready to ferry back to Vancouver. Compared to a few A&W locations we frequent, this one was a bit dissappointing. The food itself was fine, but quick, it was not. Perhaps they were understaffed, but it took a while to get their attention, and the order also took longer than we are used to for A&W.

Parking was ok, but the lot is small.

The Gibsons location, however, I've had one too many bad experiences that left me with a bad taste in my mouth (literally). Sometimes the food is ok but other times it is inedible. I've been served fries and hashbrowns fried in rancid oil; stale burger buns and food that just generally tasted off. The other day I got a breakfast sandwich and hashbrown. The taste was so off I took one bite and threw it out. I am not a picky eater; however, the bad experiences have turned me so off that I just can't support this...
