A&W Calgary: Locations, 24-Hour Spots and Menu

A&W Calgary is not one restaurant but dozens: the first page of Yellow Pages alone lists 32 A&W locations across the city (checked October 24, 2026). For a central pick, go to the A&W at 507 17th Avenue SW in the Beltline. For a late-night burger, head to 516 16th Avenue NW instead: Yellow Pages lists it as open 24 hours, and it holds 4.6/5 on more than 4,000 Uber Eats ratings. Order the Teen Burger, or the limited-time Hot Honey BBQ Teen Burger launched across Canada on October 8, 2026. In Alberta, the only tax added to the menu price is the 5% federal GST.

How this A&W Calgary guide was built

This guide comes from directories, delivery platforms and A&W’s own press releases, not from a visit. I did not eat at these Calgary locations, so this article carries no Burger Breton rating. I would rather say that plainly than fake a verdict. A&W Canada’s official store locator (web.aw.ca) did not load when I checked on October 24, 2026, so A&W itself confirms none of the addresses, hours or services below. Every location comes from Yellow Pages, Canpages, circulaire-en-ligne.ca or shopping-canada.com, and I flag where those directories disagree. Call the restaurant or check the A&W app before you go. I used the same method in my A&W Montreal locations guide and my A&W Ottawa Rideau Centre guide.

How many A&W restaurants are there in Calgary?

Calgary has dozens of A&W restaurants, but there is no official total. The first Yellow Pages results page for “A&W Calgary AB” lists 32 detailed A&W entries; its headline count of 126 results includes other businesses. For scale, A&W Canada had 1,113 restaurants nationwide on September 6, 2026, according to its third-quarter results.

Best A&W in Calgary: 507 17th Avenue SW, Beltline

The A&W at 507 17th Avenue SW (Calgary, AB T2S 0A9, 587-351-3450) is the most central pick for anyone spending an evening on 17th Avenue. It sits in the Beltline, on the strip of bars and restaurants that our Calgary burger page sends readers to.

Its hours are the weak spot. Yellow Pages lists the phone number but no hours. Only circulaire-en-ligne.ca says it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and I could read that claim only in a search summary because the page itself was blocked. After midnight, I would not bet on it. Call first, or go to 16th Avenue NW.

A&W 16th Avenue NW: the best-documented 24-hour location

The A&W at 516 16th Avenue NW (Calgary, AB T2M 0J4, 403-220-9027) is the safest late-night bet in Calgary. Yellow Pages lists it as open 24 hours, and its Uber Eats store (“A&W 16th Ave NW”) shows 4.6/5 on more than 4,000 ratings. That is a delivery rating, not a Google one. I read it from a search summary on October 24, 2026, because the Uber Eats page returned an error. Still, no other Calgary A&W comes close to that much supporting data, and it is where I would send a friend at 2 a.m.

A&W 24 hours in Calgary: the full list

Yellow Pages lists nine Calgary A&W locations as open 24 hours, and circulaire-en-ligne.ca adds five more, for 14 addresses in all. No source says whether “24 hours” covers the dining room or only the drive-thru. Assume the dining room may close earlier, and call before a late trip.

Calgary A&W locations listed as open 24 hours, by quadrant and by directory: 4 in the NW, 3 in the NE, 3 in the SW and 4 in the SE. Yellow Pages lists 9, and circulaire-en-ligne.ca lists 5 more. A&W does not confirm these hours (directories checked October 24, 2026).

A&W in downtown Calgary

Downtown Calgary has two A&W counters listed by Yellow Pages: 520 3rd Avenue SW (T2P 0R3, 403-266-0785) and 605 5th Avenue SW (T2P 3H5, 403-269-2762). Both showed “closed now” when I checked on Saturday, October 24, which points to office-tower hours. No directory gave their weekday hours. On a weekend, walk to 17th Avenue instead. Shopping-canada.com lists the A&W in the Scotia Centre (T2P 2W2) as closed.

A&W Chinook Centre and Macleod Trail

The A&W at Chinook Centre is at 14F-6455 Macleod Trail SW (Calgary, AB T2H 0K8, 403-640-4127). Directories showed it open until 9 p.m. on the day I checked. Canpages and Restaurant Guru also list an A&W nearby at 6666 Macleod Trail SW. I could not confirm whether that is a second restaurant or the same one listed twice, so I keep them separate.

Is there an A&W at Calgary airport (YYC)?

Probably, but I could not confirm where. A&W was among the 18 food counters announced for Calgary International Airport’s new international terminal, according to Daily Hive in December 2017. Yellow Pages lists an A&W at 2000 Airport Road NE (T2E 6W5, 403-291-1999), which is the airport’s postal address. The exact spot (zone, gate, before or after security) and whether it is open today are both unconfirmed, so check the YYC dining directory before your flight.

Other A&W locations in Calgary by quadrant

Beyond the 24-hour list, Yellow Pages gives these Calgary A&W locations with a phone number. Use them to find the A&W nearest you; most had no hours listed.

A&W Symons Valley: two addresses, one question

The Symons Valley listings contradict each other. Shopping-canada.com places A&W in Creekside Shopping Centre at 12432 Simons Valley Rd NW (T3P 0A3, 403-232-4321), while Yellow Pages lists 12678 Symons Valley Rd NW (403-567-0763). That is either two restaurants or one error. Shopping-canada.com gives the Creekside hours as Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., with dine-in and takeout.

A&W Calgary menu: what to order in October 2026

The A&W Calgary menu is the national A&W Canada menu: the Burger Family, chicken, poutine and the limited-time burgers launched across the country. Here is what I would order this month.

Hot Honey BBQ Teen Burger (limited time)

The Hot Honey BBQ Teen Burger is a limited-time Teen Burger launched at every A&W in Canada on Thursday, October 8, 2026. It stacks a grass-fed beef patty, cheddar, bacon, lettuce, onion and tomato under a hot honey BBQ sauce made with Bull’s-Eye, according to A&W’s October 6 release and Daily Hive. No end date has been announced. I have not tasted it. On paper it is a Teen Burger with a sweeter, hotter sauce, so if you already like the original, it is worth one order before it goes.

The Teen Burger and the Burger Family

The Teen Burger is A&W Canada’s signature burger. It belongs to the Burger Family the chain launched in 1963, alongside the Papa, Mama and Baby Burgers. If you order only one thing, make it this one: it is the burger the chain built its name on. To rebuild it at home, my colleague Clara tested an A&W Teen Burger copycat recipe with Teen Sauce.

Is A&W’s Smash Burger still on the menu?

I cannot confirm that the Smash Burger is still on the menu in Calgary. A&W launched its first-ever smash burger across Canada on May 25, 2026, for a limited time, as a single or a double with cheddar, pickles, onions, sauce and a brioche bun. No official source I could read says when it ended, so check the app.

Vegetarian options: the Plant-Based Burger

A&W’s vegetarian option is the Plant-Based Burger. Its pea and soy protein patty replaced the Beyond Meat Burger on the permanent menu across Canada on September 22, 2025. The standard build includes mayonnaise, so ask to hold it if you avoid eggs.

Is A&W beef really hormone-free?

Yes, by the chain’s own standard: since 2013, A&W Canada has served beef from cattle raised without added hormones or steroids, as CTV News reported at the time.

A&W Calgary prices and Alberta tax

No official A&W price list exists for Calgary as of October 24, 2026, so check the A&W app for your location. As a dated national benchmark, Narcity recorded these A&W prices on August 10, 2025, without naming the city. They are not Calgary prices.

Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so only the 5% federal GST is added at the till. At the benchmark price, an $8.79 Teen Burger comes to about $9.23 with GST, and a $14.09 combo to about $14.79. Deals change the math more than tax does. A&W sold the Teen Burger alone for $4.99 in restaurants and in the app from April 28 to May 11, 2025, which was close to half the benchmark price. For how A&W’s prices fit the wider fight over cheap burgers, read our coverage of the 2026 burger value wars.

A&W Teen Burger price in Alberta with 5% GST, based on Narcity’s national benchmark from August 10, 2025 (city not stated): Mama Burger $6.49 → $6.81, Teen Burger $8.79 → $9.23, Teen Burger combo $14.09 → $14.79. These are not official Calgary prices. (Chart: Burger Breton, data from Narcity, August 10, 2025 (https://www.narcity.com/canada-fast-food-chains-price-compare-cheapest-menu), rendered with QuickChart)

Skip the “A&W menu prices” websites. They are not official, and I could not tie their figures to any one restaurant. Delivery listings mislead too: one showed a Teen Burger combo at $17.28, but that store was in Barrie, Ontario, and delivery menus often run higher than the counter.

A&W Calgary reviews: what ratings say

I found only one Calgary-specific rating I could cite: 4.6/5 on more than 4,000 Uber Eats ratings for the 516 16th Avenue NW location, read on October 24, 2026. It reflects delivery orders, not a dine-in visit. Shopping-canada.com also shows 4/5 for the Creekside location on its own site.

I could not read any Google, Yelp or Tripadvisor rating for a specific Calgary A&W, so I do not publish one. Since I did not visit, I give no Burger Breton rating and cannot report first-hand on service, wait times or atmosphere.

A&W Canada vs A&W in the US

A&W Canada and A&W in the United States are separate companies. A&W Canada opened its first restaurant on Portage Avenue in Winnipeg in 1956. It became independent of the American chain in 1972, when Unilever bought the Canadian business, and a group of Canadian managers and franchisees bought it in 1995. Today it is headquartered in North Vancouver, trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol AW, and is Canada’s second-largest burger chain after McDonald’s (2022 data).

The chain is still growing. It counted 1,113 restaurants on September 6, 2026, up from 1,094 on December 28, 2025, with system sales of CAD 1.92 billion in 2025. On October 16, 2026, it announced a new strategy built on premium beef burgers, chicken, plant-based food, global flavours, new formats and the expansion of Pret A Manger. Our A&W Canada brand profile has the full history and figures.

Practical tips before you go

A&W has not confirmed the practical details for any Calgary location: drive-thru, delivery, online ordering, payment methods, wheelchair access and parking. Here is what you can do with what is known.

• Check hours in the A&W app or by phone. Directory hours are third-party and may describe only the drive-thru.
• For late nights, start with 516 16th Avenue NW. It is the 24-hour listing with the most supporting data.
• Downtown on a weekend, skip the office-tower counters. Both 3rd Avenue SW and 5th Avenue SW showed closed on a Saturday.
• Budget with the 5% GST only. Alberta has no provincial sales tax.
• Compare delivery and in-app prices. Uber Eats lists the 16th Avenue NW store, and delivery menus can cost more than the counter.
