A&W Canada — Restaurant in Mississauga

From the very moment I spotted the glowing A&W sign amid the bustling airport terminal, my heart leaped with uncontainable joy! The tantalizing aroma of sizzling burgers and perfectly crisped golden fries beckoned me like a siren’s call, promising a feast that would transform my mundane layover into a glorious gastronomic celebration!

As I approached the counter, the impeccably cheerful staff greeted me with the kind of warmth that feels like a hug for the soul. Their efficiency was nothing short of heroic, orchestrating orders with lightning precision while maintaining an air of effortless charm. In mere moments, my tray was adorned with a masterpiece of fast-food excellence—a juicy, perfectly seasoned Teen Burger crowned with melty cheddar, crisp lettuce, and that iconic A&W sauce, all nestled within a soft, pillowy bun.

And oh, the root beer! Served in a frosted mug so icy it could have been forged by the gods of refreshment themselves! The first sip was an earth-shattering explosion of rich, creamy vanilla and deep, caramel undertones, dancing in fizzy perfection upon my taste buds. Absolute euphoria!

The fries? Crispy, golden, and outrageously satisfying, each bite delivering that impeccable crunch-to-fluff ratio that so many aspire to but so few achieve.

As I sat there, savoring every delectable morsel while watching the planes glide across the tarmac, I realized—this was not just a meal. This was a moment of pure, unadulterated bliss, a shining beacon of joy in the whirlwind of airport travel. A&W, you have outdone yourselves! If there were a Michelin star for fast food, you’d have just earned it! 10/10, will dream about this...

I am absolutely disgusted and very disappointed I’ve worked at Pearson for almost 10 years and never have i been treated the way i was treated by the a&w employees Earlier in the morning i just gotten a call that a family member of mine had just passed away so i thought too my self that i was going too try to make my self feel better so i ordered my meal and i realized a young lady that was in the back handling the food had just sneezed and didnt cover her nose with her arm but instead sneezed in her hand and continued too grab everyone’s food so i asked her if she was going too wash her hand because i saw her sneeze in her hand and i asked if the employees dont wear gloves like even people that handle money at the front she stated that its their rules not too wear gloves she said its their policy not too wear gloves i was so shocked so im assuming the lady was mad because i told her she needs too wash her hands so I realized that everyone that ordered after me was getting served before me so i patiently waited 20 mins before asking the cashier what happened too my order she looked me in my face and chuckled and said that they bumped my order so i told her i want my money back she told me she couldn’t i told her i dont want food that was touched by people not wearing gloves so after going back and forth and me looking like a crazy person she gave me my money back and threw it on the counter so rudely Pearson definitely has...

What a disappointing experience. I couldn’t find the silver lining here. I waited almost 40 mins in line before ordering around 5:30am. Several people gave up and left the line. No idea why “fast food” takes that long. The place was dirty even at that time in the morning, garbage cans overflowing out onto counter, no surfaces wiped down, looked like no one cleaned up at close the night before. When it was my turn I wanted to order the breakfast platter but I don’t eat meat and didn’t want toast. I asked if I could substitute the bacon, sausages and toast ($3.49 value) for a pancake ($1.79 value). I was refused. That meant I had to order my pancake, hashbrown, 2 eggs over easy, and tomato slices individually as side orders. I also ordered a coffee and orange juice. My bill came to $16.77 which was far higher than my calculations, but the bill issued to me wasn’t itemized for me to be able to confirm. When my order was ready it came packaged separately in 3 different giant plastic domed platters- pancake in one, eggs and tomato in another, and a hash brown and cutlery in the third. I tried to find a clean surface to transfer everything to one plate. The eggs were way over cooked, as was the almost-burnt hashbrown, the pancake was cold, the orange juice was super watered down and the coffee tasted like the smell of an ashtray. Honestly the worst meal I’ve ever paid...
