    Former A&W hamburger stand. Still has great quality and service. Excellent hamburgers! My son and I stopped here on our way back from the snow. Even he was happy! He's only the most picky child on this Earth. Juicy thick hamburgers, hot Crunchy fries, amazing root beer float. Plenty of parking. Conveniently located on the roadside. Highly recommended!

    The Root Beer is on point and the burgers were soooo juicy! The chili cheese fries were so fresh and not great at all! We will certainly be back! The outdoor seating area was great as well! Our dog really enjoyed herself!

    We moved out of the area but we like to visit some of our favorite spots when we come home. We came after a ball game an the place looks the sane, the staff looked very tired but were friendly. The prices are pretty high , as is everything around it seems. The root beer was exactly how we remember, onion rings were very good .. the corn dogs are frozen an not worth the money an the burgers are similar but they changed the bun so that’s a bummer . It was nice to sit outside at the picnic tables with the kids .

    We were treated to a meal at Big A by my boyfriend's father. He swore by their burgers and they did not disappoint. Do not underestimate the portion sizes! I got a double bacon burger and wasn't able to finish it. I also tried their root beer which was divine

    Great little drive-in diner. The food was really good, but a little pricey. The homemade root beer was really good and sweet. Will visit again in the future.

    Best burger Iv ever had, awesome root beer, great ranch and fries. I could tell it was made fresh and with love. I'll be driving 35 minutes to go back, so delicious. Worth the $$$ if you like spicy get the Sonora burger 🔥

    They have remodeled the inside? Nice I've lived in this area since 1980's looks good. The rootbeer in the mugs are so refreshing. Keep the old school ways.. LOVE IT.. Nothing better then home town favorites.

    Fast food with a nostalgic twist, auto dining or indoor seating Love the frosty mug of rootbeer, it's the best. Sweet potatoe fries and onion rings

    Big A’s is a quintessential drive-in diner. You can pull up and order through the parking lot speakers or head inside and grab a booth to sit in. We usually do take out, but now and then eat inside. The menu has tons to choose from. Everything from chicken sandwiches to burgers to salads to wraps. And, don’t forget the root beer floats and milkshakes! They serve their milkshakes in a glass with the metal mixing container on the side (the way it should be!). Service is quick and the food is reliably delicious!

    So I’m super bummed! My little guy wanted Big As, we hadn’t been there in months but used to love going! I ordered by calling and told the girl I was in the car at the end. My total was over $70 so I went inside and was told the prices went up which is whatever. We’re sitting in the car waiting for food and noticed 35 minutes had gone by. Went inside and was told they had been calling my name. Bring food to car and shakes were so melted the dripped all over me and my car. I went inside and the girl refunded my shakes. So I went back to car Then I went to grab food out of bag and my daughters blt fell everywhere because it was put in upside down. Went home out of frustration where I saw my daughters bacon was burnt, and my sons plain burger had everything on it and the bun was so soggy it was flipping over. Oh and my onion rings had batter still in some of them. I’m very disappointed and won’t be returning
