In Cobbs Corner where the towns of Stoughton, Canton, and Sharon meet, is where a commercial district is located, with several strip malls and other establishments. By itself, on Sharon Street just in the town of Stoughton, is a combination of an A&W and a Kentucky Fried Chicken establishment. This small building has both a restaurant eating area and a drive-thru window. The decor is a merging of the two restaurant chains. There is one order area that serves both menus.

This location is the oldest one of two in the general area. The other is located on US Route 1, and it opened only 2 months ago in 2009.

While this restaurant is OK, it isn't the same experience as the old A&W restaurants that I remember as a kid in the midwest, where we parked the car and someone would take our orders from the car. The idea, today, seems a bit silly - why try to eat a messy burger and fries in the car? But, today's restaurants just don't have any real character.

I generally buy only the A&W root beer when I'm there. It is worth a stop just for the drink. I have had a hot dog or two from there, as well.

12-03-2009 The store is now closed. The title has been changed to reflect that it is closed. Will archive when a new business is in place at this location.
Any old memories or additional comments?: Not of this place, but of the old drive-ins in the midwest.

What is your favourite at A&W ?: A&W Root Beer, of course!

Does it have a drive-thru window: Yes

Enter street address.: 120 Sharon Street, Stoughton, MA
