The best burgers and that awesome Root Beer. I seem to remember it coming in a Hillbilly jug. Does anyone else remember that or did my mind just invent it? Every small town in Canada has an A&W.

Yeah, we have A&W mixed with KFC now, which is nowhere close to the same thing as the drive-up. Sonic kind of took that over. At least if you go into most KFC&Ws you can get your root beer in a frosty mug. That experience is worth not doing the drive-thru, I promise you.
We lived in a town with one when I was in kindergarten, in Wisconsin. I remember big plastic jugs full of root beer. We moved away after one year and I don't think I ever saw a drive-in A&W again.
The next town over where I grew up in Ohio had an A&W and we got the root beer in gallon milk jugs. Brings back a lot of nice memories.
Yup - until the last 20 years or so the one on 17 Ave SE in Calgary still came out to your car. God I loved that place.
I wouldn't say I "remember" it so much as I've seen so many places since try and cash in on the nostalgia of a '50s style car side diner served by hot waitresses on roller skates. That last part should be mandatory at every restaurant!
