Good, for the most part! I've always been a fan of the old school style drive-in. It has an almost classical feel that's hard to forget. Not to mention how delicious the food is! I almost always go for a burger, and am definitely never disappointed. However, the mess isn't much appreciated..it's almost a skill that you have to master, keeping that burger together. But, nonetheless, delicious!
Review Source:We love Sonic. We discovered Sonic during our frequent vacations in Texas and were excited to see it spread into the Twin Cities. We were one of those families waiting in line for a chance to visit the first Twin Cities Sonic in St. Paul, and now that we have one closer to our home we end up stopping in at least once a month.
We love the ice cream treats as well as the unique items like Frito pies. We especially love their mid-day "Happy Hour" for treats during unexpected down-time.
I had never been to Sonic before and didn't realize that it's drive-in only, but that was my fault and not theirs. Â The food was pretty good. Â There was a little too much sauce on the burgers (I recommend taking it home to eat or else you might make a big mess in your car, especially with kids). Â I really liked the tater tots - nice and crisp on the outside and nicely seasoned, not too salty. Â The sundae was great, too. Â
The drive in thing was cool. Â There were plenty of parking spots and there were some tables set up for outside dining in the summer. Â I'll be back!
First experience with Sonic -- I'm a fan!
The drive-in experience is different for the area, cute, fun, but could see it being a problem during cold months. Â Additional outdoor seating would be a smart choice.
The cheeseburger was dee-lish, melted in my watering mouth. Â And the chocolate malt was to-die-for! Â Not as creamy as DQ, but still very good.
I used to live in Atlanta where Sonic was a little more prevalent, so I was re-visiting when I went the other day. Â Sonic Burgers taste like the cheap burgers they get in huge boxes to unload at company picnics, and the rest of the food pretty much follows the same path. Â There is one item on the menu that continues to deliver and that is the sausage and egg breakfast wrap. Â You might be tempted to get the upscale breakfast burrito (it has jalepenos and other items in it), but don't do it, it's a trick. Â The simplicity of sausage, egg, and tortilla with the salsa they provide hit the spot anytime you are in the mood for a quick breakfast.
Other than that, the only reason to go to a Sonic is for the drinks. Â With ehat seems like millions of choices, they have a beverage for everyone and the flavors are all good. Â Cherry Limeaid is arguably their signature drink, but the slushes and shakes are very good as well (If they still had the peanut butter hot fudge shake they used to serve in Atlanta, I'd give them another star).
I am a Texan, so Sonic love runs through my veins. Â Probably my favorite fast food besides In-N-Out and Taco Cabana. Â For the uninitiated, a few thoughts/suggestions:
- Get the vanilla add-in for your Coke or Diet Coke. Â Delicious, and the ice at Sonic is awesome as well -- soft and crunchy at the same time. Â A miracle!
- Tater tots are awesome, but if you have a hearty appetite you need to get at least a large. Â Sonic has pretty reasonable portion sizes for fast food -- it's made to enjoy, not gorge.
- Whether to tip your sonic carhop or not is a pretty divisive issue. Â I usually fall in the camp of change or no tip unless it's raining/extremely hot/they do tricks on the skates/other extraordinary circumstances, but you're okay no matter what you decide.
- The whole menu is available all day. Â That includes breakfast. Â Yahtzee!
I think it is funny; after years and years of seeing Sonic commercials, Minnesota finally gets some locations! Now that one is located near my house, my boyfriend and I decided to give it a try. This was my first encounter with the fast food restaurant, and really, it wasn't too bad.
I didn't really know what to expect, I've seen the commercials, and yes, sometimes they seemed a bit appetizing, I still was unsure of the whole experience.
We drove up and parked in one of the drive in slots. Then we ordered, I had the grilled chicken sandwich with tots! TOTS! Not bad, it has been a really long time since I've had tots so I was really excited. The food took about 5-10 minutes to come out to our car.. It was delivered by some dude rollerblading around. Good god, that must suck to have to work and blade at the same time.
Overall, the food was just OK.. I mean, it was good for Fast Food and all, but it was OK. I like the fact that they have big slices of bread instead of buns.. that's a nice touch. I wasn't too keen on the whole drive up and sit in your car type of place, but we ended up just getting our food and bringing it home anyways.
The people working seemed to be having fun. They were younger teens who were all seeming to get a long with each other.. That's nice to see!
I would probably go back sometime.. I mean, I wouldn't rush out tonight after work just to get there or anything, but I feel like most foods and restaurants, whether they be gourmet or fast food, sometimes, they just need a second try! So, someday soon, I will go back.
