| - I'm glad I FINALLY made it to a Sonic.
Now I never have to go again.
It's not that it's terrible. It's mostly just "meh." No better and sligtly worse than other fast food joints (much worse than some).
The burger meat was tasteless. All I tasted was lettuce. It's one of those burgers that depends on onions and mayonnaise to have any taste at all, and since I order without both, I got no taste. The cheddar and jalepenos had no heat whatsover, and the jalepeno came out in one piece on the first bite, leaving breading and Velveeta to contend with. Having the Tater Tots is a nice touch, but they were limp without any crust at all.
And the whole thing about MAKING you eat in your car is lost on me. We tried to walk up to order and sit at the few tables they had because I only want to eat in my car if I'm in a damn big hurry. No go. You have to order at your car, but they will bring the food to the tables. After we got our food I started to wonder if we were expected to tip the woman for roller-skaing our food the five feet to us. Sure enough, I saw other drivers tipping her. So, what you get free at places like Carls Jr. is going to cost you at Sonic.
Apparently it isn't just me who doesn't get it. Another guy in a Mini drove up while we were there, walked up to the door and tried to order food. When he was told he had to order in his car and the food would be brought out, he drove away.
If you think roller-skaing waitresses is cool, go for it. If you're looking for some decent fast burgers at a chaine, skip Sonic and hit In N Out or Steak N Shake or Carls Jr or Wendy's or, God help me, even Burger King and McDonalds. Hell, I even think the burgers at Del Taco are tastier. This is one place where the hype far exceeds the reality.
