A&w - Des Moines

I truly love this restaurant, particularly their root beer.

I've been coming to this restaurant since I was a kid, and I've seen it evolve over the years. Now, nearly 50, I still enjoy the atmosphere, whether I'm dining with family, hanging out with friends, or just eating alone. The food is excellent, and I particularly love the shakes that come from their collaboration with Long John Silver's.

This restaurant uniquely combines A&W and Long John Silver's, offering a diverse selection of menu items. The food was excellent, the staff were cheerful, and the service was quite prompt! A standout moment was when the lovely woman at the register presented our drinks in classic A&W glass root beer mugs, which had been chilled in a fridge hidden beneath the counter. How awesome is that?! It was a delight to savor something so nostalgic in a time when plastic cups are everywhere! Our group thoroughly enjoyed our meals; everything tasted fantastic. If you're looking for a touch of nostalgia, you should definitely pay a visit—actually, you should come in to fully appreciate the experience!
