Sonic Restaurants

[m&m's mom]

I get Diet Limeaid's there every day. I have one maybe 1/4 mile away so we go a lot!

I love the drinks, I think its the crushed ice that makes them so good. I don't really care for the food.

A Sonic just opened here and even with the mass confusion on where to go (8 rows of cars waiting, some for drive thru, some for carside dining with no signs) the onion rings were worth it. The burger was just like any other, but the rings, oohh the rings

I hate watching their commercials on cable because we don't have any..

Sob..choke..sniffle..

theres one right across our house. They have a happy hour special everyday 2 to 4 for half price drinks and i love limeade YUM. they food is okay not that great but will say they have a good chicken fingers basket with rings,gravy,bread,fries and 1 drink for $3.99 special for the month of October.
Most all in Houston do.

The food is pretty uninspired, verging on disgusting, but the drinks are good. the ice-cream is pretty pedestrian (Dairy Queen-esque.) Over-all I would just avoid the place...and we have one 5 minutes away. Going to eat there is like going out into the desert and shoving hot rocks up your butt. Every time you do it, you get burned badly, but you keep thinking..."hey , maybe THIS rock WON'T burn me like the last one did."

The rock always burns.

The food is so-so. If your looking for a greasy burger its the place to be! I'm pretty much set on the drinks. I LOVE a cherry limade!

If I do eat, I like their tator tots and popcorn chicken. My DB likes the chicken strip dinner, or the texas toast chicken sandwich.

food is "eh", super greasy and let's just say it doesn't agree with me and leave it at that...

drinks - I love the diet cherry limeade, and treat myself once in a while during the afternoon happy hour (weekdays 2-4pm). It's nice to find a diet drink that is not caffeinated.

ice cream - DQ is much better. Shakes/malts are decent, but I don't like to get a cone.

Drinks are good, but the food is really greasy and just like any other place. We usually get a few drinks 2 or 3 times a week during happy hour. (Half price drinks) I love their raspberry tea.

I'd say it's a bit of a stretch to call it (or any fast food joint) a restaurant.

A Sonic opened this morning about five minutes from my house. Local newspaper says to expect big traffic congestion for about a month. Of course, it's across from a mall, so once people start Christmas shopping, it will probably be a zoo over there for quite a while.

I have never been to a Sonic, so I may have to try it once all the hoopla dies down.

Sonic's food is gross. I've tried them in 3 states and all 3 states the food is the same horrible. They opened 2 in NJ and it was a madhouse around them.

My husband had never had it and wanted to stop. Before we went I said to him let's just say I told you so. He loves fast food and will never go to one again.

WHAT is wrong with you people?? Seriously? You think Sonic is gross?? Has anyone ever had In & Out, now that is gross. Sonic is so much better then In & Out. LOL We don't have one very close to home so we only go when we are driving to DL or are in Anaheim at DL, I've enjoyed everything I've ever eaten there......the CA Burger is good, I had the chicken wrap last time, I've also had the standard burger and the Coney dog (well a few bites) and enjoyed them all. I love that they have tots, we used to always have tots at A & W when I was a kid. Brings back good memories. The drinks are really good too, DBF had a mocha chiller last time we ate there and it was really yummy. OP if you can make it to one try it, I wasn't very optimistic our first time, I really thought it was going to be like In & Out but I was pleasantly surprised.

Honestly I do not like them. To me they are worse than Wendy's or McDonald's. Just way too much grease and always gives me heart burn. The tater tots are pretty good. Chicken is way too dry. Burgers dry and greasy. The corn dogs are decent but a wee bit greasy.

The drinks, however, are great!

Considering how expensive they are we'd rather do Wendy's. Even Burger King is better than Sonic.

 

[stego]

set a new record: $1 million in 51 days. Folks, that is hand over fist kinda thing going on.

 

[Angelhalo]

I think their ice cream/shakes.malts etc are all better than DQ or any other soft serve type ice cream place. DQ is blah to me. Sonic is awesome! Love their hot fudge shake although I haven't had one in eons. Lots of limeade lovers here but I have never gotten the appeal. The food is ok and cheap. But, its definitely worth a stop for the ice cream.

Someone needs to slap you!! In-n-Out rules! They are so good. I love going to the SW so I can get one.

Sonic is OK.

McDonald's, Hardee's, Carl's, Burger King, those are gross hamburgers.

I've seen their commercials for years, but have never seen a real Sonic.

 

[SageFemme]

Sonic was founded in my state and their HQ is in my city, so of course, there's as many here as there is McDonald's Their drinks are great and I love Happy Hour!

I lived in CA for a bit and when I saw it in the phone book, I went there. When it wasn't there, I asked nearby places where it was and they looked at me as if I had 10 heads!

I love Sonic as a guilty pleasure. Ingredient quality is very low, even for fast food, but if you have a trans-fat craving, this will satisfy. My daughter loves to eat in the car and we can take the dog too. Good family fun. The drinks are fun to sample. Big assortment.
