A&W

A&W is a wonderful fast food restaurant. Good burgers, good fries, and fantastic root beer. Having lived in Logan, I've gone to one of the oldest A&W joints in Utah. When most of the others closed down, this one stayed open (or so say my parents). Now others have started to re-open, but a lot of the new ones are part of gas stations. So now I'm considering a difference between the Logan one and this one here in Layton connected to a Conoco (?). Overall, the Logan wins hands down. Faster service, higher quality ingredients, and even more special offers. In fact, there was only a single positive difference in the gas station one. That difference is that the draft root beer (A&W's signature item) was self serve rather than behind the counter. While I'm sure that you COULD get a refill at the Logan one, you can definitely get the refills here at the gas station. And if you're crafty enough, you can keep getting one since the A&W staff usually are more worried about the drive through than they are about the dine in area (another con of the gas station vs. the Logan version).
