The burger was amazing. So much better than any other fast food place these days.

Cortland's A&W is a timeless community staple. It's truly impressive that it's still here after all these years, consistently serving up good food at reasonable prices—perfect for feeding the whole family. Plus, with miniature golf right next door, it's an ideal spot for an affordable and fun family outing.

I have been coming to A&W in Cortland for over 20 years. This place is brimming with nostalgia of America’s golden yesteryear. The huge root beer floats in the frosted mugs are a must order when dining in here. I have never been disappointed in their selection of burgers, hotdogs, chicken tenders, fries, corn dog nuggets, and cheese curds. The root beer here is brewed fresh on site and you have the option to buy it by the gallon or half gallon as well. Thank you for being a multi-generational stop for my family, you’re the best!

Great food and drinks. Nostalgia all the way around. Taste still lingering in the buds. Can't wait to go back. Still able to buy souvenir mugs.

I love this A&W restaurant. It reminds me of the A&Ws from my childhood, not like the ones that are attached to other restaurants (like the one in Owego that is with a KFC). Every time I pass through Cortland, I stop by this restaurant. I love that you can pull up and order from your car. Also, the food is always so fresh. Note: cash only at this location. They do have an ATM inside.

Wow. I loved this experience. You drive up into a spot, look at the menu, and push the button to order when ready. The workers will come out and give you food, and you pay (cash only!) you can leave or enjoy sitting in your car in that spot. The workers were helpful and super nice! Don’t forget to tip! The food… ugh…. So good!!!! Nothing tasted fake. I obviously recommend the cheese curds! We traveled a hour and a half for the experience and will definitely be back!

Met our daughter there for lunch for the first time (none of us were from the area). It was a Thursday and pretty busy. Server was great and food was good. Parking is ok. Better to go after lunch time/before dinner time. We felt the price was good for all the food we got for 3 adults...about $38 or a bit less.

Local favorite, the iconic location has been here for over 50 years. Dine in or eat in your vehicle. Old time drive in’s don’t exist too much anymore and this is one of the best. Plus fresh A&W root beer. Root beer floats, shakes, burgers, onion rings, chicken tenders and more. Check this place out if you are driving through the Cortland area.

This was my first time. I liked how you order using the phone on the table. If you like burgers, there are so many to choose from. They have foot long hot dogs too. I got a fish sandwich. The Cole slaw was a 10 out of 10. The service was super fast! Fun vibe. Id go again.

Food was good, fresh and hot. It didn't take long to get our food either. Which is a plus if you swinging in on your lunch break.. But the portions were kinda small, and they only EXCEPT CASH. Otherwise your stuck using the ATM provided. It does have the old school charm of a drive in which is why we went. Thanks!

It devastates this nostalgic X'er to give this place less than 5 stars,but you can't review truthfully based on nostalgia. Less than 10 of this piece of American history left in the nation,and it looks like you'd want it to, like an old carhop joint, which it is. My brother and his wife had fish sandwiches that were fine,my kids liked their chicken tenders for the most part. My wife's hot dog was like long skinny Vienna sausage, so skinny as to be DWARFED inside the bun! It was comical but it doesn't help them any. My anticipated root beer float had a horrible soft serve/ root beer ratio,a lukewarm vanilla-esque root beer. This all needs to be qualified by the fact that this was a nice weather Saturday,and this place is jammed during the worst of days,so they were slammed! And, not really their fault these days, they're hellishly understaffed, surprise. Waited a good bit,ate outside. The day and an enjoyable round of mini golf with family made it better than it could have been. And that's the picture, nostalgia with a hassle.

First to start off they all had Greasy hair got one single pickle on the double burger I got a two chicken sliders and one of them had sauce in the other did not each came with half a pickle on them The chicken was super dry, and when I picked it up, it burnt my hands I got first-degree burns no fries included no napkins in the bag poorly mixed polar freeze ratio of ice cream to M&M’s was awful ratio of ice cream to root beer and the root beer float was awful to top it all off, the ice cream was too cold safe to say never coming back here again THIS PLACE SUCKS

I went there with my wife for a late lunch 130ish. The place” drive up” was almost empty. I order our food and not 30 seconds later the waitress comes out with a bag and 2 drinks . We didn’t order drinks and she leaves about five minutes later she returns with our order. I have cooked most of my life and food doesn’t cook that fast and come out luke warm. For almost 30 dollars for 2 meals and I basically get someone’s rejected order, definitely not fresh. I wasn’t impressed. Must be foods cooked ahead and set under a heat lamp or something for lunch rush . I am almost 60 and have came here since my childhood and never got this before . I won’t return and health department should really surprise check on there cooking and warming procedures. I won’t be back
