As a Canadian I have only ever eaten A&W (and Five Guys once) so I curious what other people prefer.

    How have you only eaten A&W?

    But also, in terms of fast food burgers, A&W Canada is pretty top tier.

      There are many rural parts of Canada where A & W is the only fast food choice. I’ve noticed this is especially true for service stations west of Ontario. I spent my twenties living on the road and got stuck eating A & W so much I can only stomach their chicken these days.

      Yeah I currently live in a city where I can get a great burger from a food truck in walking distance of my house, but growing up I lived in a town where the only fast food burgers were A&W. When I go elsewhere a fast food burger from a multi-national chain isn’t exactly my first choice, so I haven’t had many others.

      Yeah, honestly. Unless OP is a young child I really have a hard time believing they’ve never had anything else. A&W is one of the least common fast food joints in Canada.

        This is actually quite incorrect, A&W is the second largest fast food chain in Canada after McDonalds… Though not sure how even the spread is regionally.

          Huh. Never would have guessed. I see them often enough but it seems like McD, BK and Wendy’s each outnumber them significantly. 🤷

            In Ontario McDicks feels like it has a similar number of locations, but Wendy’s and BK seem few and far between. Wendys is still coasting down from all those combination Wendys / Tim Hortons, and BK I just basically do not see at all.
