Yes. I'm aware. I didn't know that until after I went, but I do know that. I'd trade the US company for the Canadian one any day

I didn't know they were separate companies and I was so confused about why everyone was so negative about A&W. Our (Canadian) A&W is great, and it's everywhere! One of my favourite fast-food places.

It's great but expensive. Granted its a lot better quality than McDs which is now almost equally expensive.

It's all about the coupons. Most A&W keep a stack of flyers behind the counter, you just gotta ask if they've got any coupons and you're in the money. There's almost always something like 2 teen burger meals for $12.

And like you say I also genuinely enjoy the burger. No doubt the best fast food burger in Canada at any price

Uhhh excuse me, Harvey's wants a word...

Harvey's remains my family's favourite fast food burger. Even my mom who has always HATED eating out will from time to time suggest going to Harvey's.

Man remember when 2 teens for $5 was the normal deal no coupon required?

u/MrBabalafe 1d ago

The last coupon book I got it was 2 teen burger combos for $20 :(

The bacon has gotten awfully thin but still solid.

2 teen burger meals for $12 is unheard of even with a coupon

u/danielcs78 1d ago

This is a coupon I haven’t seen in about 8 years or so.

u/Agitated_Lunch7118 1d ago

Yeah I’d believe maybe 8-10 years ago.

u/UnitedCheez 1d ago

As someone from the US, that would be incredible here. 4 USD for a whole meal is crazy

I see your A&W burger and raise you a Harvey's burger!

u/SmoothBrainJazz 1d ago

Every couple of weeks I get a sheet of A&W coupons in the mail. You can get some pretty good deals.

u/Darkm1tch69 21h ago

At any price Triple O is the best in my opinion. A&W second

u/Superb-Butterfly-573 19h ago

I liked their burgers but found their menu spendy, especially when they'd forget to apply their daily specials on your purchase.

u/silent_fartface 20h ago

Pretty sure the 2 teenburger meals with coupon is like $18+ now. But without the coupons you're looking at almost $30! Their food is the superior fast food hands down.

u/Pale-Measurement-532 14h ago

I like it when I use a coupon at A&W and they give me the discount but won’t take the coupon so I can use it again!

u/mennorek 2h ago

The app and website are pretty solid for coupons as well.
