It is a thing in the states, but it's owned by a different company than A&W Canada. The Canadian version is one of the better fast food burger joints, while the US version is often decried as one of the worst.

I get a stomach ache every time I go there (US), even if I only get a root beer float. Their cheese curds are really good though.

cheese curds

Does A&W (US) have poutine?

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

No just deep fried cheese curds.

Some of them are combo a&w KFC. You can definitely make poutine, but it's not on the menu.

It's considered bad? Tastes good to me, or is this one of those situations where me eating expired MREs has made me resistant to food poisoning?

I liked A&W before they combined their stores with KFC, and now they suck. I don't know if they sucked before and I didn't know it, or something changed when they left Yum! Brands, either way they suck now.

I'll have to try the Canadian version next time I'm there.
