So your vehicle can smell like fast food for three days.

When my mother was still alive she loved to go there and since she had mobility problems we'd use the car hop or the drive window. I'd be sure to get every bag, napkin and fallen fry out of my truck and it would still smell like cheap grease for several days. That or the grease was seeping out of my skin.

Locally, the drive through window gives you another place to be ignored by giggling teenagers. I was just in Cincinnati and on Reading Road, but I missed the root beer place, I will have to look for it next time.

Because we didn't have enough ****** fast food in my town, someone decided to open a Sonic a couple of years ago. I've traveled through the south enough to know what the food is like, but apparently the curiosity factor was strong for most people.

The place was jammed for the first several weeks. Enough so that they had to set up a special lane in the shared parking lot so cars could get through.

Now, it's not all that busy at all. Everyone has apparently had their fill of greasy, mediocre tasting hamburgers.

Sadly, despite several opening in various parts of the state, no one has thought to open a Chik Fil A in my town. I have to drive about 30 minutes to get to the closest one.

Of course, it's worth it.

When I go to Sonics, I don't use the drive-in, but use the walk up menu and sit at a table. I prefer not to make a mess in my car.

I forget exactly where it is, but I think it was just a few blocks south of the intersection with Kemper.

Sonic has some food that is OK and some that is not but the best thing is their ice. I'm an ice cruncher and I love that their ice is very small and fine. I don't ever remember paying for a cup of water in any nice restaurant but I will stop by the Sonic drive thru almost every day on my long drive home from work in the hot summer and buy a cup of ice water. A 44 ounce cup of excellent tasting filtered water in a styrofoam cup is about 63 cents and I'm glad to pay it when the temp is near 100 degrees out. If it's "half price happy hour" I might get a diet cherry limeade but those are a little hard on my acid reflux.

Default They do make..

They do make great milkshakes. I ordered a banana one I thought it smelled funny and it tasted just a bit of it.

Peanut Butter....... I have an anaphyclaxis grade allergy to peanuts.

Default How about Cookout.....

Cookouts food looks like the lowest grade possible and still be called 'food'. And sometimes I wonder then.

Sonic has drive thru because some of them are so poorly run, that people who want their food hot, will pick it up and re-heat it at their house..as is the case with the one closest to me..

It's a shame really, they would have so much more business if they could figure out a way to put this simple(?) hot food theory into practice.

The ones around here used to be pretty good, but now the quality is about 1/2 and the prices double. We have quit going entirely.
Having a drive thru at Sonic is about on the same mental level as the drive up ATMs that have Braille keypads.
