Two patties, bacon and cheese: the heavyweight on a menu that otherwise feels gentle and old-fashioned. It is a straightforward, satisfying burger that pairs well with the chain’s cheese curds and a root beer float.

About A&W Restaurants
A&W began in 1919, when Roy Allen opened a root beer stand in Lodi, California, for a parade welcoming soldiers home from the First World War. Frank Wright joined him a few years later, and they combined their initials into the name. It became one of America’s first franchise restaurant chains and the model for the drive-in, where food and frosty mugs of root beer came out to your car.
Several hundred restaurants, owned entirely by the franchisees who run them.
