The sign inside says it all! In 1956, Dick Bolte and Orval Helwege opened the first A&W in Canada. Everyone loved the root beer floats and Papa burgers!
Drive thru or sit inside.
This A&W still has Car Hop service on Tuesday's from 5:00 til 8:00. So come have your order taken like in the good old days....
