AN ANNIVERSARY WORTH NOTING

by Bob Walsh

A&W ROOTBEER started 100 years ago in Lodi, California. The original location is still there and still going strong. They make outstanding root beer and very good hamburgers. Many locations also serve chicken, hot dogs and other munchies. Some locations have employees who have worked for them for more than 20 years. I believe a few locations still have car hops on roller skates to take your order and bring your munchies to your car though many are now strictly restaurant or drive-thru operations.

Good food. Interesting ambiance. They aren't McDonalds or Burger King, but in their own modest way it works for them.

There used to be an A&W Root Beer Stand in Houston. They had good food. I miss them and Prince's Hamburgers Drive In. Back in the day Prince's served cold beer to your car. It was still legal to drink and drive.
