A & W

[CON VERT]

Went there with the wife for quick lunch, 2 teen burgers, 2 onion ring and 2 mugs root beer , Near $27.00 , WTF, food is garbage, the best part was the root beer ! A & W your off my list !

[Stephen06GT]

The price isn't outrageous. I paid ten bucks plus tax for a Wendy's bacon classic combo the other day. Sub in the onion rings and your price seems right in line. For the record, I like A&W burgers.

lol when I take the clan for a burger all nine of us when the boyfriend shows up (I'll let you figure that one out...lol) I have to take out a second mortgage...lol

[5.4MarkVIII]

yeah all fast food has gotten expensive, anytime out with the kids its not much worse to hit up a sit down joint and feed the four of us for not much more money

[Laffs]

$14 an hour to flip that burger, drop those rings in the fryer and fill those Root Beers. What did anyone think was going to happen.

[Black Sheep]

Can dine at Swiss chalet for about the same and it is a little bit better for ya.

[Minaccia]

Taco Bell was the cheap place to eat junk but now even they are up there in price.

[CON VERT]

Gotta agree about the Swiss Chalet & Stephen you can have A & W , I can buy their root beer anywhere ! LOL

[hsousa88]

California sandwiches yesterday.. 2 sammiches, small olives and a dry sausage (love those things) $40

It is what it is.. even going to the grocery store is crazy expensive nowadays.

[Stephen06GT]

Deal. Don't forget to add $2.00 for white meat at Swiss Chalet. A&W root beer in glass bottles FTW.

[newbiestangowner]

I use the coupons if any
If not I don’t eat lol

This is why I prefer to dine at CC Roadhouse.
Eat what ya want when ya want, get a drink without waiting and it its very reasonably priced.

[ZR]

For me, Swiss Chalet is pricing themselves outta the chicken business.

[FABMAN]

Don’t mind the A&W burgers but don’t love their fries and onion rings. The fries and rings used to be good a very long time ago but changed some where over the years. Root beer is still my favourite.

For fast food burgers, I think Wendy’s may be best (and love their chilli) but if it’s close I will splurge and take the kids to the Burgers Priest...so good...

Agreed, we used to go there all the time, not so much anymore.

[Screw]

If I spend more than $6.49 on fast food I feel cheated ..2-3 buddy burgers max , or jr chicken & jr dble cheeseburger McD’s , option pizza nova pepperoni slice no drink no dipping sauce...im a cheap date
I did try the AW rings they were ok but overpriced.

[hsousa88]

Was never a fan of the chicken at swiss chalet.. the ribs are great though.

Hit up some Portuguese spots for chicken.. you wont be dissapointed :D

[CON VERT]

I'm with Screw , $6.49 Wopper meals ! & they always have coupons !!!!

Trying to cut that shiat out , sometimes I fall into bad habits when I’m running calls , then I wanna nap

[ZR]

Just finished month three with zero burgers, fries or DrPepper.

[Mustang4]

A & Ws in Burlington are good. Not that I go there that much.

[hsousa88]

I usually eat out once or twice a month but this holiday break I've been going nuts.

Harvey's on the way :D

[Laffs]

I cut out dairy, bread and most sugar about 1.5 months ago. Lost 10+ lbs, my joints don't get achy after working all day, over all body feels better but shooting myself would have probably been easier and less anguish.

[ZR]

I continue to feel better at such a quick rate, been pretty easy to get past the cravings that normally have me caving in well before I get to this point.

Isn't regular price at Swiss Chalet about $15 now without the coupons?

[92redragtop]

Is that real meat?

[92redragtop]

Deal. Don't forget to add $2.00 for white meat at Swiss Chalet. A&W root beer in glass bottles FTW.

Sign up for the coupons at A&W website and that 2X teen burger combo is about $14 I think.

Don't most combos at the fast food restaurants run around $10-$12 now with tax? The meat at A&W is likely better than at their competitors in this lower end price segment (A&W, Wendys, McD, Harveys, BK, Taco Bell, etc).

[newbiestangowner]

Taco Bell seems worse

Sign of the times, that’s how much stuff is anymore, and that’s even without the $15/hr minimum wage!
Best deal for food by far is Chinese.......or the $1.50 hot dog and soda at Costco.

Who knows what that stuff is? Grade D? Swept up off the kill floor and treated with ammonia to kill the bugs? McDs and BK and others used to buy this "meat"...not sure who buys it now but it's still being sold to food companies for burger meat....there is a reason some food is cheap.

I am still sad that St Hubert left Ontario, Cornwall I think has the only one I have seen. There are a couple in New Brunswick.

[trickflow-jay]

Churrasco of Portugal for chicken large portions great price bye bye swiss chalet....u guys wont be disappointed

[Hutch]

I like A and W but will usually just get the burger, not a meal. As for Swiss Chalet, I don’t go there hardly at all. I used to love it as a kid. Now I just hurry home to get to the bathroom.
As for Costco, my kids will even ask to go out for lunch there! Lol. Their chicken fingers with fries are really good!!

News to me. We have 3 St. Huberts in Ottawa

Miss them as well. On my Quebec trips, enjoy the one in Mont Laurier.

[Black Sheep]

isn't one of the st huberts still on queensway? now called the "Q"... i think i ate there 10 years ago and it had the same style menu and sauce.

I cut out dairy, bread and most sugar about 1.5 months ago. Lost 10+ lbs, my joints don't get achy after working all day, over all body feels better but shooting myself would have probably been easier and less anguish.

I just started the "Keto" diet. Super low carbs (5-7% of your calories), High Fat (70-75% of your calories) and the rest is Protein. Tough initially due to the carb cravings, but now starting to adjust (on it approx. 2 wks.). Already dropped a couple of pounds and find myself with more energy and also my bum left hip seems to be complaining less (mild osteo arthritis). Looking to stay on this for the next 90 days with a goal of dropping about another 10 lbs and get down to 165lbs., at which point I'll likely ease up a bit on the super low carbs.

[DinoZ]

Oh my, saw St Hubert in this thread and suddenly crave my favourite. Yes “Q” which was once St Hubert still serves up really good chicken. I know the owners and he has a arrangement somehow with St Hub for their chicken source.

What I miss most from “home” is 2 hot dogs, all dressed with fries and a Pepsi. I think still less than 10 bucks.

[RedSN]

Just so long as you don’t look in the kitchen.

I go to the Chinese food court near my office on occasion. It’s really cheap, especially for the amount of food you get. Like hot dogs (I like a good hot dog) don’t ask what’s in it.

I blame all the gourmet burger places for the price hike. People have accepted the price of a “good” burger. It has provided headroom for fast food burgers to raise their prices.

Awesome congrats , I’ve cut sugar but not right out yet , breads minimal now . Sugar is evil

Good stuff man so u must be leaning out

Especially when a lot of the bread in the bread section also have sugar in them.

Dont know, don’t care, tastes good and doesn’t make me sick, I’m in :drool:
Actually had a Costco dog for lunch :)

Thread hi-jack: while on the subject of hot dogs ....best hot dog out there is Baldwin Street.
Second best to Nathan’s Famous.

I just saw a Wendy’s commercial and they were advertising Dave’s singles for $3.00 for the month of January.

[Windjammer]

I was at that St Hubert in Cornwall last month. Is was great and a really varied menu

[newbiestangowner]

Regarding St Hubert
I either buy or cook a whole chicken and buy this from grocery store

Drove past the A&W on Hwy 50 this afternoon and looks like there's a promo for the the Mama Burger with cheese (not processed cheese) for $2.99. Not sure how long it's on for.

And, not going anywhere near hot dogs - haven't touched them in a couple decades.

Sugar/salt listed in the first 5 on the ingredient list?

[newbiestangowner]

Sugar/salt listed in the first 5 on the ingredient list? MSG in that or just salt for flavouring?

I don’t know Richard ? lol
(Maybe I should read the label)
I just felt like having chicken like at St Hubert since we don’t have the restaurant anymore.

But yes salt is number 5, sugar number 6 - no msg
Oh well I drown the chicken in that stuff
( will you have some chicken with your sauce?)

Can't much help prices these days. Everything is going up except my profits.
For the record: 5 Guys makes a good burger and has delicious fries. Burger Priest is pretty damn good. The Works has a great variety. Big Boy's on Bayview (he's a Mustang guy) is very nice.
A&W, McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, they are all pretty much the same: mediocre. Of the "Fast food" outlets, Harvey's has the best burger and onion rings. South Street, and the like: not so much.

[Darkhorse]

I like A&W. the frosted glass root beer rocks. They are also the most healthy of the really nasty chains now (wendy, BK, McD)

I like for the price point and the value, Five Guys is the best around.

The high end places are OK....but not worth it to me.

Taco Bell and Swiss Chalet's biggest problem is they can't keep any place clean enough to want to eat there anymore.

[Darkhorse]

Harvey's has the best burger and onion rings. .

Hmm, good to know, my favourite chicken place in Ottawa is on Holland Ave, called the Foolish Chicken, excellent Chicken and Ribs.

Another vote for 5 guys.. great burgers and love the cajun fries. Medium fries is good for 2/3 people.

What!!

This is no way to start off the new year, guess I’ll have to drive out to Kingston to get my fix on chicken

[redo75]

In the 70's my wife and I used to go to Swiss Chalet for lunch. Two quarter dinner plates white meat, fries, bun, sauce and coffee, includes finger bowl = $5.00, and no tax for two people.

Ital Pizza FTW!! I order a party size pretty much every weekend from them.

Ricci's is really good too, but their prices are getting a little out of hand.

Hey Rick, some trails are open but it's been mild and snow is melting. Trails that I did see did not look so good. Give it another week and with the forcasted snow, it should be better.

Thank you sir.
