01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled in the heart of Calgary’s South Trail Crossing, A&W Canada offers a wholesome and comforting fast-food experience that embraces classic Canadian flavors with a fresh twist. This location shines as a multifaceted dining destination, specializing in mouthwatering hamburgers, hearty breakfasts, crispy chicken, and of course, the iconic A&W Root Beer that has delighted taste buds for generations.

Whether you’re starting your morning or grabbing a quick bite midday, A&W’s breakfast menu is a celebration of Canadian comfort. The All Canadian Special Combo is an absolute standout—imagine two farm-fresh eggs, perfectly cooked to your liking, surrounded by naturally smoked bacon and antibiotic-free pork sausage links. Paired with a golden hash brown, juicy slices of tomato, and warm toast, this breakfast is served alongside a small cup of organic coffee that gently wakes your senses. Each bite evokes a cozy, homemade breakfast feeling but with the convenience of fast service and consistent quality.

When it’s burger time, A&W truly delivers an indulgent experience. The A&W PlantBased Burger Combo caters expertly to those seeking a flavorful vegetarian option without sacrificing the satisfying texture and zest of a traditional burger. Topped with crisp lettuce, vibrant red onions, fresh tomatoes, pickles, and smothered with classic condiments—all nestled in a toasted sesame seed bun—this combo comes with thick-cut Russet fries and a refreshing A&W Root Beer, making for a classic yet elevated fast food meal. For those craving indulgence, the Mozza Burger® Combo brings melty mozzarella goodness alongside crispy bacon, perfectly complementing the savory beef patty.

The atmosphere inside this A&W location reflects the brand’s dedication to cleanliness and friendly service—an observation echoed repeatedly by longtime patrons. One customer, Lali M, praises the staff’s attentiveness and notes the restaurant’s immaculate maintenance, especially heightened during recent health-conscious times. The option of lettuce wrap burgers and freshly made sweet potato fries adds a customizable and fresh dimension to the usual fast food lineup, appealing to health-conscious diners without skimping on flavor.

While some visitors have remarked on the pricing of certain items, many appreciate the quality and consistent preparation of their orders, particularly when served with genuine care by the staff. Positive experiences with order accuracy and the unique hand-washing stations available on-site also highlight the restaurant’s commitment to both customer satisfaction and hygiene.

In all, A&W Canada at South Trail Crossing stands out as more than just a stop for quick eats—it’s a place where traditional Canadian breakfast favorites and classic fast food collide with thoughtful ingredients, friendly smiles, and a welcoming atmosphere that invites you to slow down and savor every bite.

For those in Calgary craving comfort food with a Canadian soul, A&W Canada offers a reliable and delicious choice that continues to win loyal fans with every visit.

A&W never fails for a tasty quick breakfast. Tasty coffee, and they always have a newspaper to read. I can't say the same for their lunch menu. I honestly can't understand the prices. 15.99 for 5 piece chicken strips. Wow! Not to mention a buddy burger is way over priced. The whistle dog is not what I remember as a kid. And not worth the money.

Edit Dec 13 The shift working this evening made my daughter and I the best burgers and sweet potato fries I've ever had from a&w. Change from 1 to 4 stars because of the shift working Dec 13 at 7pm. Thank you Every other location in the South I've been to makes my burgers exactly as I order them. It's 4-5 times now this location never puts more than 2 pickles when I ask for extra pickles I even started saying extra extra pickles because they weren't putting on more than 2. I have been driving down to the Auburn Bay location but tonight was in a rush so I went here and again no more than 2 pickles. Also more of a general A&W complaint, why on earth did you start putting burgers in the bag sideways? Do you not realize all the cheese and toppings slide off and end up stuck to the stupid paper flaps you use. Bring back the paper lined foil bags you had before that actually closed and kept the burgers warm. Put the burgers in the bag FLAT!!

Nice clean a and w . This has a hand washing station too! 30 dollars for 2 fast food meals is insane though. Employees should talk about promotions instead of us seeing the promotion while eating lol (flames day prices ) Bathroom was clean .

This a& w is the best in Calgary. The cleanliness has always been amazing but with Covid, it is even cleaner now. It’s the only restaurante where they know how to make a lettuce wrap burger and the sweet potato fries are freshly made and crunchy. Staff is very friendly and attentive. We have been coming here for years and never disappoints!

Just went through the drive through and ordered two teen burger combos with onion rings and a poutine. Just want to say that is the best poutine and burger I’ve had from A&W I think in my whole life. Didn’t cheap out at all. Whoever is working in the back right now cooking, thank you, it was amazing! Very friendly woman in the drive through as well. Overall great experience.
