    whats not good at sonic..


    I had a sonic at the end of my street when I lived in New Mexico.. and then I never saw one again. Until on the way back from Bonnaroo. My husband begged us to stop and it was like a never ending wonderous lard fest.. MMMMMM....


    I can't tell you anything bad on the menu.. that is, if clogging your arteries asap is good ;)

    I kid.. its tasty fast food. Way better then Burger King, MD, Wendy's..

    Never been to one. None in my area that I know of. Does it beat In-n-Out Burger? That's the best fast food joint I know of. Puts to shame McD's, BK, etc.
    Rock on!

    I've never eaten at a Sonic, but damn it, they have the best commercials on tv.

    They're awesome. Whenever I'm away out of the Northeast I make sure to stop at one. I love their flavored sodas, deserts and their coney island foot long dogs are great.

    Plus they have breakfast all day.

    I forgot to ask. Where in South Jersey is one opening?

    No way, Jack-in-the-Box has the best commercials. Decide for yourself:

    I personally think Sonic falls way down the list of fast food restaurants in terms of quality of food.....and that's saying something.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Sonic's only redeeming quality is the beverage selection. Crazy good combinations on soft drinks and slushies.

    The food on the commercials look fantastic, but when you actually go there, you wind up being less than impressed. That said, it's still better than most fast food places...

    Sonic is disgusting. I use to live next to one below the mason dixon line. Bad quality stuff. Their deserts are decent though.


    Edit: but Cherry Limeades rule.
    They say I'm rappin like BIG, jay, and tupac

    Sonic is great... for fast food. They have a much better selection than most other places. Tater tots, corn dogs, blended root beer floats... mmmm! :D

    I have lived in both sonic and non sonic areas.
    In the non sonic areas, I would dream of one day visiting this bright gleaming place and delicious-looking drinks, ice creams, and even fast food.
    (this surprised me as most fast food commercials make me lose my appetite).
    When I arrived in a sonic area, I was thus, very excited.

    but alas, it was total crap. the place was dirty, even a little scary, and the food did not look nearly as delicious as it does on TV.

    How do you know the place was dirty when you can't even go inside?

    We get Sonic commercials all the time in Michigan, but I've been told there isn't even a Sonic in the state.

    I lived there from age 9 months to almost 8 years old. I lived in Rio Rancho NM :)

    I used to go to sonic for an ice cream cone after trick or treating.. good times!

    Dude there's a Jack in the Crack in Moses Lake, I was like oh thank god, but I missing the other three hardcore style. :( I could really use some In-N-Out and a cryfest over my double double and animal style fries right now.

    But yes, Sonic, holy shit. I used to have it for dinner every Tuesday and Thursday when I was going to school at night in Fullerton for a semester since there's one by campus, and there's not one bad thing there that I had.

    I would like to try a Sonic once. I see the damn commercials all the time yet I don't believe I'll be taking that 206.45 mile trip to Waretown, NJ to experience it.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    I think you could go inside in this one, or at least I could see inside. But the parking lot, the ordering machines and the pinic benches and stuff were dirty.
