Best WLM Reviews

Stopped by for the A&W while traveling and the Long John silver was a bonus. The entire staff was super friendly the food came out nice and hot. Ordered the cheese curds, fish, chicken sliders everyone enjoyed their food.
Very friendly service, and the food came out very quickly….hot and delicious. Always a treat to come here, you can tell they work hard to serve their customers well.
Just make sure you get there before 3 or 4
Night shift is horrible ! During the day time they make a pretty good double bacon cheeseburger !! They put way too much mustard on this one ???? I said light mustard...I'm not made ????
Can't really relate the atmosphere because it wanna drive through order.
We came back for a replacement order, as they changed their chicken but didn't inform us it was just the long john silver battered. I got that taken care of. The gentleman at the register was not friendly. He didn't seem to want to be here. The lady manager seemed annoyed of me for using a coupon for a rootbeer float. Which I'm still sitting here waiting for over 15mins later. Not happy with this visit at all. I am in management at another restaurant and this is just ridiculous.
This is actually a A&W and Long John Silvers. So it has some expanded options available. The food was good, the staff were friendly and the service was quick! And the best part was when the great gal that was at the register offered for us to have our drinks in the iconic A&W glass root beer mugs that we're chilled in a fridge below the counter!!! WHAT!?!? OH YEAH! It was pretty awesome to have something so classic in this world of plastic cups! Our crew loved the food and it tasted great. So if your looking for a little nostalgia, stop by, I should really say stop in! To get the full effect!
Finally opened the dining room back up still great food
Been going to this location since I Wada little boy. I've seen all of the changes. I'm almost 50 & still Love the atmosphere., rather I'm with family & friends or by myself. Gr8 food...Love the shakes & Long John Silvers collab...
