A&W Rootbeer

Restaurant itself was ok, it is in the mall. Shorter lines than other places. We love their floats. The dining area is busy and disgusting, but that is the shared area so affects all the food court places.

We came here to A&W at the Mall of America to avoid paying way too much for a meal at our hotel restaurant. Okay, it is fast food, but the service was fine, the burger delicious and the fries hot and fresh. If we go back to the mall for another meal while we are in town, we will try a different quick service place, but just for the variety, not because we had any problem at A&W. Just don't look for gourmet food, okay?

The service was super slow and the employees weren't helpful or friendly. We ordered a float and a freeze and they both took more than ten minutes to come up and it really wasn't even that busy. The seats in the booths were all torn up and it was so dirty inside that I was afraid to sit down at a table. I get that the Mall is doing renovations and A&W is probably just waiting their turn, but seriously, they need an upgrade and a friendlier staff. Those booths really are shudder inducing.

As expected! Hot burgers and fast service. Also, the root beer is a 50 cent refill which was a nice surprise. If you want familiar food, I'd would come here. Easily would come back.
