Sonic Drive-In

Saw an ad on TV for $ 1.00 chili dogs so decided to try again. The regular price is $ 2.00, so this was a fabulous deal. When I got there a lady was getting frustrated as the walk up ordering screen said we will be with you in a second and nothing was happening. I was polite and waited behind her, but when a then jumped on another kiosk when I realized she was never going to get served. I think what happens is multiple kiosks ring the one or two tellers at once and sometimes they don’t answer similar to business phone numbers. The trick I found out is just to repeatedly buzz in until they verbally answer you, take the order, and you pay up. In my peripheral vision I saw the lady flipping out and getting irritated that I got to order before her and then she realized how the trick works too. The food took about ten minutes to get out to me despite maybe 20 cars and a couple eat-​in tables and the two chili dogs were very tasty and filled me up just to the max and not to where I was getting sick (these ones didn’t give me a tummy ache or heartburn either). The young waitress that brought me my to-​go order was very nice and apologetic for general delay despite having what I am guessing is a hectic and underpaid job.

Went and had ice cream shakes. As ice cream shakes go they were good. I guess half price after 8pm is over which is why we went. Oh well can’t win them all.

If you have to eat fast food, this is miles above any other! The have a fantastic array of milkshakes and they are yummy. Burgers are fresh, big portions, fast and very friendly service.
Served on skates at your car window… a throw back to simpler times. You’ll never go back to Mickey D’s after hitting a Sonic.

Sonic is a good fast food meal every visit. This visit, our carhop Chris was polite, courteous and very social. Our four person order was brought out promptly and was exactly what we ordered. Their menu is such a plethora of deliciousness!!! Thanks Sonic!

Opt for Sonic. Enjoy the experience.
Being rushed, or feeling rushed, when ordering food sometimes leads to unwanted items — at Sonic, you TAKE YOUR TIME and order when YOU’RE ready.
Once you’ve figured it out, you press a little red button and the ordering process begins. You can pay right from your window at the menu board (with a card) or wait for them to roll around with your food and pay with cash.
Yes, roll around. They’re on roller skates! I’ve never seen any carhop fall, either.
Mad skills.
I love the mozzarella sticks, corn dogs, and hot dogs. My mother LOVES the fact that they offer a Chicago dog; she was born and raised in Illinois, so it really brings her back to a happy place. Don’t forget the shakes made with real ice cream!
Oh my goodness — they have SO many flavors to choose from; coconut cream pie is fantastic, among many others.
Overall, Sonic continually brings me satisfaction. Word to the wise, though, the «pretzel» style buns are really crappy. I was NOT impressed in the least. Just saying!

Didn’t know sonic still delivers your food on roller skates? It seems like a cute idea to have waiters bring your food over in roller skates but many are just watching who will fall and who can carry the biggest load. Petty — but it’s a trill factor to consider when getting fast food. Food is pretty greasy and coated with butter. Desserts are loaded with calories but it taste good enough that every so often you want to have a burger with tots and sonic blast.
Our waiter wasn’t to chatty but he was able to carry
Brownie Molten Cake Sundae with Pecans
OREO Cheesecake Shake
Peanut Butter & Bacon Shake (He ordered it repeatedly and it’s not on the menu??)
Sweet Iced Tea w/​lemon wedges
Sausage Breakfast Toaster (at 4 in the afternoon)
Chili Cheese Tots
Onion Rings
Footlong Quarter Pound Coney
Bacon Cheeseburger Toaster
and (2) SuperSONIC Bacon Double Cheeseburgers
and he remembered straws, spoons, ketchup, and napkins… but he forgot the syrup. So I sipped my tea and watched as the server skillfully speed inside and returned with my syrup for my Breakfast toaster as everyone else passed food around the table. Not bad way to enjoy a chilly but sunny afternoon.

I’m not really fast food girl. It’s only acceptable if:
A) If there’s no other option for miles and you’re so ravenous, you’re about to tear off your own arm, dip it in honey mustard and self-​cannibalize.
B) If you’re shame-​eating and/​or hungover because when dealing with the latter, a frosty fountain Diet Coke might just save your life.
But I’ll make an exception every single time for Sonic for four reasons:
A) Massive drink selection. I am down with tasty beverages and the fact that I can customize a delightful soft drink at Sonic does my little ticker good. Bonus points for their Happy Hour where a girl can get a giant unsweetened blackberry-​mint iced tea for $ 1.21. Dudes, I literally paid for this with the change I found in my car. It was awesome.
B) Milkshakes. I am not sweets girl and would much rather shovel pizza into my vast and gaping maw than ice cream any day of the week. But every now and then, I get a jones for a sweet treat and Sonic’s milkshakes fulfill that need every time. The coconut cream pie shakes taste like a first kiss, the banana shakes have real banana in them and I would commit an act of bodily harm if you stood between me and a chocolate malt.
C) Onion Rings. It is tough to make a good onion ring. Some places feature slimy onions, some places have crappy breading (rhymes with Fake’s Fayback Furgers) and some places are Burger King (It’s just water and reconstituted onion powder in the shape of a ring! What the hell is that all about? That’s not an onion ring! That’s the sweatpants of the fast food world!). Sonic’s onion rings have a perfect onion-​to-​breading ratio, they’re crunchy and they use this magical batter that I want to pour over everything so I can deep-​fry my entire life.
D) The Supersonic Burrito. Lemme crack an egg of knowledge here. Unless I’m sitting down at a joint or making them myself, I don’t eat eggs out. That fake egg-​like good utilized by pretty much every breakfast retailer in the nation? I don’t roll with that.
But the SuperSonic Burrito (sans sausage ’cause in the words of House of Pain, I never eat pork ’cause a pig is a cop) is pretty much the greatest breakfast sandwich out there.
Eggs, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cheese and tater tots encased in a soft, warm tortilla.
Let me break this down for you in case you’re sitting in the cheap seats:
They put the tots IN the burrito. IN! So, you take a bite and of all a sudden, a nubbin of deliciously crispy potato hugs your mouth.
My only lament regarding the SuperSonic Breakfast Buritto is that it isn’t the same size as a Chipotle burrito. Because dear God, I would love to inhale one of Mack Trucks of deliciousness and then, promptly slip into the world’s happiest food coma.
AND they’re served all day long until Mickey D’s Only Until 10:30 bullshit.
If you’re starving and looking for a quick bite, ditch the clown and the king and go Sonic.

I’m so in love with their cherry limeades. They are so tasty! I think their best products are their drinks. Over 100,000 different drink combinations to choose from. Their food is typical fast food, but most of the items are pretty good. I love the experience of having your food brought out to your car by a skating waiter.

This place is horrible! We pulled up very hungry the other night and were in the mood for some burgers and shakes and dessert. They took 35 minutes to serve us our food and they got it wrong at the end our dessert looked like they made it before the burger because when we got it it was melted, I just couldn’t believe it! I was so upset… Never again will i eat there
