Instagram : @southbayunmapped Stopped by A&W in Lodi and it was definitely worth the hype. The root beer was fresh, cold, and lived up to its reputation. What made the visit even more enjoyable was all the vintage collectibles and memorabilia throughout the restaurant. There was so much to look at that it felt like a small museum of A&W history. A fun stop for anyone passing through Lodi, especially if you’re a fan of classic American diners, nostalgia, or just want to try the famous root beer.

Visiting the Lodi A&W feels like a culinary pilgrimage, as this site marks the historic first-ever location of the storied brand. I was genuinely surprised to find that the establishment wasn't packed to capacity. The menu features burgers that are consistently tasty and seasoned well. Accompanying the mains are the crunchy fries, which provide a perfectly crisp texture. Of course, their famous root beer float, a signature item that demands your full attention. Served in their iconic, heavy-duty big glass mugs. The carbonation is remarkably lively, causing the foam to erupt from the mug like a

This is the OG A&W and it is amazing. When you dine in you get the best root beer ever in a frosted glass. The staff here is super friendly and the food is great but I was a little tiny bit disappointed because back in the day the A&W I went to had crinkly fries. But no worries this place rocks and it's like a museum. If you are in Lodi, CA it's a must go even if it's just for a frosted mug of root beer 🍺 😋 👍👍

Clean and quiet. Came during their last hour, used kiosk to order. This was our first time trying this chain. With all the upgrades it came to about $20 per person, quite pricey for fast food. Everything came out fairly quickly, hot and delicious!
