A&W has found another way to join the pickle party. The chain is bringing back Pickletown, a limited-time menu giving dill pickles starring roles in two sandwiches and sides. The pickle craze has travelled beyond the condiment aisle, and fast-food chains keep finding new places to tuck in a pickle. A&W is making sure nobody mistakes this for a garnish-only situation.
The lineup includes a Fried Pickle Double Cheeseburger with two beef patties, American cheese, fresh and fried pickles, and Dill Pickle Ranch. There is also a Fried Pickle Chicken Sandwich, available with crispy or grilled chicken, fried pickles with Dill Pickle Ranch, and Dill Pickle Ranch Cheese Curds. That’s plenty of dill. A&W lists all four as limited-time offerings, but has not announced an end date or national prices.
There is a Montreal catch: Pickletown is on A&W Restaurants’ US menu, not part of an announced Canadian rollout. But Canadian A&W has played the pickle card before. In 2023, it introduced the Spicy Dill Pickle Mama Burger nationwide, featuring dill aioli and sliced pickles. That earlier burger proves the appetite. Canadians are not strangers to a briny burger. This particular Pickletown, however, is south of the border for now.
