| - So, I had never been the biggest fan of Sonic, but that may be changing!
They just opened this Sonic right near my house (Could walk there if need be), and it was a welcome change from the typical Burger King/McDonalds/Jack in the Box type places. I have always enjoyed Sonics drinks (shakes, limeades, etc) selection, but had only had their food a handful of times. Not really sure why, I just never really craved Sonic I guess? Anyways..........I saw a commercial on TV for "The Carhop Classic". This combo comes with a 1/4 pound cheeseburger (or foot long hot dog) and a medium onion rings. Cost? $2.99! What? Unheard of to get a burger and side for less than $3.00. I knew I had to try it out!
I got a new schedule at work now, so I am working until 8pm, and get home around 8:45 or so. I decided to drop in the drive thru for a late dinner on Wednesday night. I went with the Foot Long Coney Dog (Chili cheese dog) and onion rings for my side. About that.......they advertise the onion rings as the side, but they gave me the option to choose onion rings, tater tots OR fries. They also gave me the option to somewhat customize my hot dog, too! Score! I went with the standard offering of the Coney Dog and onion rings. Total was $3.24. Here is how it was...........
Coney Dog- This hot dog is giant! Might even be more than a foot long! They load it up with a ton of chili and some melted nacho style cheese. First thing is first....you cannot expect to eat this in your car while sitting down. This thing is messy as a mofo! They do provide you with a fork, and I would almost recommend that option. I'm no pussy though, so I picked the thing up like a man (and ruined my shirt in the process), and went to town. Good dog, decent chili, good nacho cheese, good bun. This thing was massive! I can usually eat 3-4 hot dogs in one sitting, but this foot long was so big and filling, I couldn't have eaten any more. While not the best hot dog I've ever had, it was very filling and dirt cheap!
Onion Rings- Wow! I was impressed! Sonic deep fries their rings to order, and you can tell. They were piping hot, a little greasy, and smelled delicious! I took a bite in and was overcome with a unique flavor (never experienced it on an onion ring) of what tasted like a funnel cake. The batter had a sweet (not super sugary sweet, but definitely more than just flour and breadcrumbs) undertone to it. It's almost too hard to describe even. If you have had their onion rings before, you will know EXACTLY what I am talking about. If you have not had them, I would highly recommend you get off your ass and get some! These are probably the best fast food onion rings I have ever had! That unique taste, paired with crunchy piping hot coating, made these a winner. You get about 6-7 in an order, too. Very filling and a great order of onion rings!
I was so impressed with the food to value ratio, I came back today for lunch. This time I went with the Cheeseburger option with the onion rings. (I also had a survey on the bottom of my receipt from last night for a free 44oz drink. Score!) Here is how that was.......
1/4 Lb Burger- This thing was very tasty! Reminded me of a better Jumbo Jack. Decent meat, good bun, fresh produce, good cheese. Not sure I would pay $4 or $5.00 for just this burger alone, but in the $2.99 combo deal, it's an absolute steal and by far the best fast food value currently on the market. I hope they keep it around for awhile longer! Anyways.....had the onion rings again, and they were just as fantastic as last night.
I am happy that this was built here. I'm 100% sure I'll be back again for the $2.99 deal (as long as they have it), and will definitely hit this Sonic up for my milkshake/ice cream/drink fix. It's conveniently located, brand new, and a good addition to the neighborhood!
