Who says you can’t have breakfast-flavored food for dessert or even a new favorite sandwich meal?
A&W Restaurants lets you have a guilt-free dessert with a nod to childhood nostalgia with their newest dessert item. A&W is America’s oldest franchise restaurant chain, so it’s only fitting that they are launching food items that are inspired by our childhood favorites.
A&W has launched a new shake inspired by a childhood favorite, the Cap’n Crunch Cereal Shake. This sweet treat features a mix of creamy vanilla soft serve and bits of real Cap’n Crunch cereal; all served in A&W’s classic frosty glass mug. It aims to evoke fond memories of Saturday morning cartoons and bowls of colorful breakfast cereal we all enjoyed back in the day.
Liz Bazner, the Vice President of Marketing & Innovation at A&W, expressed the restaurant’s continuous search for ways to bring joyful dining experiences to customers. Plus, they also shared that the new Cap’n Crunch Cereal shake is a perfect display of A&W’s innovative menu, bringing a smile to their customers’ faces.
A&W Restaurants’ new Cap’n Crunch Cereal Shake will be made available for a limited time at participating A&W locations. So if you’re one of the restaurant’s or cereal’s fans, or just a customer wanting to try new shake flavors, then you should immediately check with your local A&W for availability. Plus, guests should note that the prices of this shake may vary per location.

But that’s not all! A&W introduces one more trick up their sleeves before summer ends. Make way for A&W Restaurant’s latest entry to the popular chicken sandwich wars, the 2-pc Hand Breaded Chicken Tender Sandwich. This new sandwich is ideal for customers looking for a crunchy and satisfying meal. A&W combines quality and flavor, which starts with two juicy, hand-breaded chicken tenders that are cooked to a golden crisp, then placed on a toasted bun with crispy dill pickles as toppings, making a comforting but crave-worthy sandwich.
For a more satisfying combination, you can pair the 2-pc Hand Breaded Chicken Tender Sandwich with A&W’s frosty mug or other signature sides to make every visit more worth it. Plus, it’s a perfect combination of tender chicken and signature A&W flavors, which makes an ideal choice for lunch, dinner, or any time in between.

A Look Into A&W’s Latest Menu Releases
A&W Restaurant has been known as America’s oldest franchise restaurant chain. For decades, they have thrived as a pioneer of menu innovation and combining classic flavors with a timeless dining experience.
Now, let’s take a step back and take a look at what A&W has brought to the table to delight us this year. Get your straws and forks ready, and let’s dig in!
Strawberry Watermelon Cream Freeze
A&W helped us cool down this summer season with their limited-edition Strawberry Watermelon Cream Freeze. This seasonal item blends creamy vanilla soft-serve with the flavors of real strawberries and watermelon. Plus, it adds a twist in the form of Starry lemon-lime soda for that citrusy and refreshing touch. With summer coming to a close, we still hope that the Strawberry Watermelon Cream Freeze will stay as a permanent addition to A&W’s menu.

Double Cheeseburger with French Onion
Last April, A&W prepared for summer with the release of their Double Cheeseburger with French Onion, which is made with two beef patties, American cheese, grilled onions, and a flavorful Boursin herb spread.

From The Club
I love how A&W constantly brings back our childhood favorites with their menu releases. Don’t get me wrong, every release from A&W is a known hit, but combining nostalgia in some of their releases adds another touch of magic. We all love a delicious menu item, but it becomes more enjoyable when it reminds us of a certain part of our childhood and some good ol’ days.
