Best fast food restaurant in Spring Valley, Minnesota (MN) 2024

I've lived in the community for a number of years having limited options A&W stands out. The outdoor seating and old school drive in is a fun experience. Being seasonal it's always great to see it open for the year. The staff are always awesome. Very friendly and courteous. They certainly work harder than other fast food locations and that should be noted. At the same time it doesn't feel like fast food as a simple order of a gallon of root beer to go can take 30 minutes to receive. Eating at other A&W locations I have to mention it certainly seems the amount of salt used is excessive, I have literally tossed my burger on more than one occasion due to it's similarity to a salt lick and I'm not the only one in my party who has experienced this. The service while great is slow and the food while good all seems salt cured. A mushroom Swiss burger really shouldn't be that salty. I'll certainly eat here again the root beer is awesome and a summer day at a table on the lawn with a frosty mug is a good time, I'd recommend asking for no salt. ~Dan

If I could give you a zero I would! We were in line at the drive through waited an hour to get to the ordering screen! Nobody came over the intercom for 15 minutes so we drove up to the window. The manager and employee saw us sitting at the window but started cleaning and ignored us. Finally the girl walked over and said, we closed at 9 PM. We told her we had been waiting since 8:30 PM in line and now it was 9:30 PM. Anyways we didn't get served, and there were still two cars waiting behind us. The employees should have got on that intercom and told us they were closed or even walked outside to tell us! Poor customer service! We will not go back! ~Karla
