| - IDK what the other reviewers speak of when they mention BAD DRINK at Sonic. lol...yes I do. HOWEVER, I will say Middleton just hasn't gotten it right & it further lets me know there's a reason some things are local/regional - it just can't be replicated unless you grew up with it. Sorry if that offends but look, I CAN'T MAKE GRAVY LIKE MY MOTHER SO I DON'T MAKE IT AT ALL. No need to jack up a good thing with my crap.
Here's to the review:
1) Child ~ honey child. Talk about excited when this place opened up north. I told my family between Chipotle/Sonic/Pizza Extreme all in this area... I"M NEVER LEAVING MADISON.
2) Sonic is the place that I learned about in '97/98 in Baton Rouge, LA. And they are the old school location. No carhops, no updates, ain't too clean looking but I was hooked...YOU HEAR ME HOOKED after my 1st slushie.
Now to Middleton. I had my therapist and her office excited to try this place after going on about it for 20min of my session. Then I started booking appt's before or during HAPPY HOUR. As I would never buy a drink at Regular price. IT' S JUST AGAINST MY GOOD UPBRINGING. lol
4) First week in town, I laffed & I cried (figuratively) mostly~ I whined.
I laffed at the people that would park their cars and try to walk in.
I whined about the traffic. Just because it's new doesn't mean you should try it during the opening weeks people.
5) Now, I cried when the drink order would take 30minutes or so.
6) One worker asked me, "Man you really love this place" in his lil' snide way. No really he was being rude 4 no reason. I quickly pointed out - "You should be glad I do...it keeps you with a job." NO TIP FOR HIM. I guess he thought about it cuz he looked stupid & held his head down.
7) Lately, I'm doing better with my addiction. Y'all think I'm joking? After 6-8weeks at home; I had a cavity. My mom quickly stated, "It's probably from all those slushie drinks." MAN I wish I could have her lil voice playback inserted right here. Her epiphany probably was right but I won't admit it. But at home they were selling Large Drinks for 99cents before 11am. Happy Hour came 2x a day. A we got new locations every 6weeks. And it wasn't even summer yet. OMG..they're soooo good.
8) I love seeing the skaters that skate in Middleton - they're good.
9) I have had Manager's handle some sticky situations and they excelled.
10) Love the specials for Tues/Wed/Thur - 5 for $5.95 burgers/Kid Night/College ID night, respectively.
11) I'll take Sonic over McD's anyday.
12) More options (meaning the menu gets extensive like a Culver's)
COMPLAINTS:
I promise the service is just generally bad up North (or shall I say thru the Midwest because Palatine & Carpentersville, IL are confused too)
2) It's not just the staff but the population doesn't know how to order.
not their fault, no one's teaching Sonic etiquette around here (but I would love to)
3) Silly staff doesn't know/hasn't been taught/or refusing to realize - if we're at the drive thru & I order a drink behind some large order - JUST run my drink order over & keep the line moving. They are catching on NOW (like 2years later).
4) The surly attitude of the Hispanic woman that works the window. She's worse than any old black woman, I know, working in a hot kitchen in the SOUF (no typo) put the emphasis on the "F"
5) Inconsistency - which should be no#1. That's why folks that are complaining are complaining. I know what the drinks should taste like. Somedays they get it & other days they make me want to put on an apron and teach 'em.
*Positive: They are drumming up business 'cuz every weekend I get an email to buy a half off ticket thru the "BuckyBook" email list serve.
I hope they can make it thru the kinks of starting up & sustain themselves.
~As for the food. Just think Culver's. Stay away from the Hotdog's though. They are just too salty nowadays. CORNDOGS are still decent but they keep some fresh bread. For the hotdogs & burgers.UMMM fresh bread (in my Homer Simpson voice)
