A & W has been a successful, all-American icon for more than 80 years. Since repositioning A & W as the home of 'All American Food' with a menu of burgers, hot dogs, coney dogs, french fries, onion rings, and our signature A & W Root Beer and Root Beer floats, we have entered the ranks of the most rapidly growing quick-service restaurants in the world. Opportunities to develop are now even greater with our new co-branded restaurants that combine A & W and our sister brand, LONG JOHN SILVER'S.
