When it comes to fast food, McDonald’s is normally my go-to. I always order a McDouble with bacon and a six-piece chicken nugget with hot mustard, and it positively slaps each and every time.

Sadly, McDonald’s is not available via DoorDash, so this past Sunday, I decided to order from A&W for what I believe was the first time in my life, and I thought I would provide an honest review of my order.

I ordered the Papa Burger for Blaine, added cheese and bacon, and a side of French fries, and for myself, I decided to try the Teen Burger and a side of French fries. I really wasn’t sure of what to expect beforehand, but I was pleasantly surprised by the results.

Blaine and I agreed that A&W’s French fries are superior to McDonald’s. I’m sorry to anyone who takes offence to that, because plenty of people are avid lovers of McDonald’s fries. But, the reason we agreed A&W’s are better is because they’re thick-cut and have a lot more sustenance. They sort of reminded me of fries you might get from a chip wagon, if that makes sense.

As for the burger, McDonald’s McDouble beats out both A&W’s Paper Burger and Teen Burger. Were they bad? Not at all. But, I find McDonald’s hamburgers to have a better and beefier flavour than A&W’s, and the bun encompassing my Teen Burger was a little on the soggy side. I wasn’t a tremendous fan of the sauce on my burger, either.

To be fair, I think A&W is a little better known for their chicken as opposed ot their beef, but I could be entirely wrong. I would try something different from A&W, but I could happily enjoy their fries anytime.

Are you an A&W fan? If so, what’s your favourite item to order?
