Sonic (Fast Food Restaurant)
 

We just got a satellite dish so we are able to get channels from other cities and states throughout the country. One commercial I keep seeing is for a fast food restaurant called "Sonic" and, I tell ya, those Sonic Burgers look goooooooooooood! We don't have Sonic here in Annapolis, Maryland and I was wondering if anyone had any idea what areas DO have it? Just curious and, yes, perhaps I DO have too much time on my hands! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/redface.gif

We have sonics down here (Louisiana) and honestly, I'm not impressed. Whenever I've had a burger they're, they're soggy. The tater tots are good, but you can get those from the grocery.

For the money, there are much better fast food places out there http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Sonic has the best slushes.. Yes, we have them in Arkansas. I'm not to crazy about the food. the slushes are good...

ohhhh a really cool thing is that they use roller skates to bring out your food..

I love Sonic. They used to use the rollerskates, but now they just wear tennis shoes. I love their cheeseburger with mayo and ketchup only. I also love getting their tots with cheese. Have any of you guys ever tried their Vanilla Cokes....they are very yummy. I also know you can get Orange or Chocolate Coke as well, but that doesnt sound too good. It doesnt have to be coke, it can be dr. pepper, diet coke etc. Another thing i love there is their Cherry Limeade. I havent ate lunch and this is making me hungry! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I dont really see anything bad about Sonic except for the fact that they are always busy and take longer than most fast food places to bring you your order.

OK, I absolutely love Sonic! They are all over Texas from what I have seen. I go there all the time with my sisters. They have great burgers, but the best is their grilled chicken sandwich. They also have really good slushes.(The best is Cherry-Pina Colada)I've also got hooked on the M&M Sonic Blasts too.(It's like a Blizzard for those of you who have Dairy Queen) Anyways, It's a good little fast food chain.(And cheap!)

All I have to say is two words;

"OCEAN WATER"

Man those rock. Ima have to have me one after work today. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

We have sonics down here in Alabama. I absolutely love their bacon cheeseburgers, YUM YUM!!!!

Ocean Waters are cool as well....except im left with a really blue tongue afterwards! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Ocean Water is obviously a blue drink, i dont know how they make it though- my guess would be sprite and someother flavor with blue food coloring? I dunno, sorry! Hopefully Lifesaver will tell you http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Sonic is the BOMB!!!
Where I am from it is chosen over McDonald's, really! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Del Taco is good also! Taco bell can't even reach it with a 15ft pole! Open 24 hours.

Hey, there's a Sonic drive-in here in Greenville, NC (aka: G-vegas). The food is great and the service is good.

I have to disagree with my fellow Lousyannian...lol

They are GOOD!

If you want a burger with a different taste from the others, then this should be your choice. They remind me of that OLD fashioned taste....um um good! #2 burger, extra pickles, PLEASE! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Mmmmm, I miss Sonic! We have them in Florida too...but I'm home in Nova Scotia for the summer (sadly no Sonic here! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif ) I love their burgers...and mmmm the tater tots....oh and the vanilla coke!!!! Yummy! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

We have one or two here in Cincinnati. I haven't been there in a looong time though.

Sonic is headquartered in Edmond, Okla, or was, may be in Oklahoma City now. The use Frankie Avalon for many of their commercials. It is much like an A&W, they are all drive-ins with the menu on a sign, give the order through a speaker, and delivered by a car-hop. In small town Oklahoma the local Sonic is at the end of 'the drag' and is used as the turnaround point. Usually a Wal-Mart or grocery store at the other end is the other turnaround. They do make a pretty mean hamburger and tots.

Hey Killarneyrose,
I am from Maryland too, and I see the sammme commercials, and no sonic, it looks good, but I don't think there are any in MD, but I believe there are some on the west coast, west coast people correct me if I am wrong.

They're here in Colorado and I've been to Sonics in Salt Lake City and Mesa, AZ

Yummmmmiiiiieeee!!! I had Sonic for dinner last night... try the new toaster sandwiches... and of course, SWEET TEA!!! That's hard to find in Texas.

I Love Sonic. I'm in LA too and I think its great. The hamburgers are big so you definitely get full. They just opened one by my house and it is always packed. I like their ice cream too. I will go for a Sonic Cookie Blast anyday.

We've got Sonic in Georgia. If you don't have a Sonic nearby and want something similar, try a Checkers or Central Park. (Of course, you may not have those chains either!) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Can't forget Taco John's - best fast-food mexican this side of Tasty Tacos, that's what i miss most about being on the east coast: potato oles.

As far as Sonic goes, I think the food is generally pretty gross really - the drinks are solid though

Sonic is now serving breakfast. Has anyone tried it? Like it?

We had a Sonic in my hometown in Mississippi when I was growing up--don't know if they are still around, but I think they are. There are Sonics in South Carolina. I like their food. My husband likes the Frito Chili Pies.

I've had their breakfast and enjoyed it. The slushes are good and so are the milkshakes. Love their onion rings, too.

Sonic is some good stuff, haven't tried the breakfast though.

One just opened in Charlotte on US-74 but I have not been though. I have never had Sonic but I cannot wait to try it.

I haven't tried Sonic breakfast, but for the most part their food is good. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their slushes!!!

One thing about their slushes though, I've noticed if you get one during a "peak" hour, they are not so slushy. :(

I think my favorite food item there would be their grilled chicken wrap or their mozzerella sticks :)

I keep seeing ads for Sonic, which is really odd since there aren't any around here (Connecticut) ... I guess they're just advertising on the national level, but it seems like a waste of money if there are so many regions where they have no locations :confused:

Does your locations still have the waitresses on skates? The one's I have seen let the waitresses decide if they want to do the skates or not.

Of all the Sonics I have seen in Texas, I have never seen the waitresses with roller skates? :confused:

I live in MD as well, but I'm lucky b/c my mom lives in Raleigh and I can go to Sonic when I visit her...but I've actually never gone. I was thinking of going to see her next weekend....MAYBE I'll go??? If I do, I can bring you something back??LOL


It's only a 4 hour drive if you get desperate, Killarney !! :D

Wow really? Sonics was found to be like those 50's sty;e drive ups where the waitresses came out in skates. I seem them do it all the time at Sonics around here.

Sonic is okay, but I prefer Central Park. Much better burgers, IMO. :)

The sonics in Tucson have the servers on skates, but it's optional. People were known to get broken ankles, and if you're not a goos akter, you're in trouble. Also, the sonic breakfast sandwiches are sooooo delicious, and they have these really yummy new ice cream, juice smoothie things that are awesome. I also love their coneys. Wow, I'm really hungry now...thanks a lot guys...

they're peanut butter and chocolate milk shakes are great....too bad i'm lactose intolerant. dammit!!

For the west coast, we have one up in Spokane (eastern Washington) But I've never been to it. Maybe I'll have to go and try the food, the commercials make it look pretty good.

mmmm i could really go for some cheddar peppers & a cherry dr. pepper right now, or an ocean water..yum!

too bad we don't have sonic in NJ :(

Oh my gosh, Sonic is a great restaurant. They have Sonic in Kentucky where I go to school and my parents love to come visit me to go to Sonic. Wouldn't it be great if Maryland would get a Sonic? Maybe some day we will.
