A&W is so great. Their burgers are delicious. From all of the burgers I have eaten so far, I would say these are second only to In & Out. The bonus here is that I don’t have to travel over a thousand miles to eat them. :)

There is one caveat here though. There is an A&W and KFC combo restaurant that is only about an hour away, and the food there varies from average to not too good. We travel an extra half hour to go to an old fashioned Drive-In style restaurant, where the food is delivered straight to your car. There is just something so cool about that. I don’t know why I love it so much, but I’d much rather eat in the car than go in the restaurant. It’s like a blast from the past that I was not alive to experience when things like this were common.

Beyond the cool factor of that restaurant though, is the fact that the food is so great. I always get a root beer float, but sometimes we forget that if you order a large you don’t get a frosted mug, which is one of the coolest parts of getting a root beer there. As I mentioned above, the burgers are delicious, but I also enjoy other goodies such as their foot long chili cheese dogs. That’s a novelty for me as well, as I can’t get a foot long hot dog anywhere else around here, but they are also so very delicious. Their cheese curds are very good too. I don’t know what they do different than the combo restaurant that I mentioned, but the food is night and day. Making the occasional hour and a half trip to get to the Drive-In A&W restaurant is well worth it to me, even with today’s gas prices being as high as they are.
