Good food, farmed with care and served fast for a modern lifestyle.
In 2013, we embarked on a journey to source simple, great-tasting ingredients, farmed with care. We’re proud to have high standards when it comes to our food and you can taste it in everything we serve. We are the first national burger chain to serve beef raised without the use of hormones or steroids and chicken and pork raised without the use of antibiotics. These positive changes have been well received by our customers and are helping to fuel A&W's growth.
