I went to A&W with my kid two weeks ago and we ordered through a little telephone that was hanging on the end of the booth: you were spiritually present. I hope you found a hobby that you enjoy, and that we all keep the demons off until the sun comes up. <br /><br />Thanks for everything. You are a spirit forged from the earth.

They were bought by Advance Auto Parts and subsequently phased out by the early '00s (to make a very long, convoluted corporate history short), but I've found at least two stores in Central Pennsylvania that are still using the name, presumably unauthorized.

As a kid there were quite a few in Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas. Good baked beans, green beans, cole Slaw, mashed potatoes, chicken, and chicken fried steak. Years ago the servers would even fill up iced tea glasses. Yeah, one slogan years ago was "fast food that doesn't taste fast.

Had a pretty good meat plate with vegetables and ice cream for dessert. The waitress hinted that the parent company was phasing them out.
