A&W rEvIeW

Review
This past summer I visited many A&W’s on my way to Wisconsin. They were all great. This chain of restaurants is amazing. It's a great family place to go. They had good old fashioned coney dogs and root beer. My food was hot and delicious. I've also eaten breakfast there and many locals get together every morning to chat over coffee and many other breakfast items they craft. The service was great in most places but there was one that was a bit slow, but it was crowded. They also have amazing prices. You can get a meal for under $7.00 dollars which includes the sandwich, fries, and a drink. This is great considering our economy.

The history of the Root Beer

One day in June of 1919, in Lodi, California, an entrepreneur named Roy Allen mixed up a batch of creamy root beer and sold the first frosty mug for one nickel. Now, seventy years later, A&W Root Beer is the world's number one selling root beer and is still made fresh daily and sold at hundreds of A&W Restaurants. Allen purchased the formula for his root beer from a pharmacist in Arizona. To this day, the unique blend of herbs, spices, barks and berries remains an important secret. With the success of his first root beer stand in Lodi, Allen soon opened a second stand in Sacramento. There the country's first "drive-in" featuring "tray-boys" for curb side service, opened up. In 1922, Allen took on a partner, Frank Wright, an employee from his original Lodi location. The two partners combined their initials - "A" for Allen and "W" for Wright and named the beverage, A&W Root Beer, Three places were opened in Sacramento, then on to other northern and central California locations and to the states of Texas and Utah.
