Sonic Drive-In

Sonic is great for a quick meal. This one is a gem though because of the ability to dine inside rather than in the car. There are booths with telephones that you use to order the meal from. Such a fun experience for kids and adults. Kick back order a shake and fries and enjoy this Sonic!

OK… my dirty secret… I am in love with chocolate malts from Sonic. This location was no exception and did not disappoint. Sonic just knows their shakes and malts. Now I have no idea what the white topping is… clearly highly synthetic and not natural… but damn it is delicious. They got me again…

All I ever get here is the green chili cheeseburger. Love it. Used to love the shakes but they added a topping to them and ruined them. Other food is standard fast food. Friendly and efficient carhops. Check it out if you need a burger.

The day staff is generally better than the evening staff. The food is good.

Being a nationwide fast-​food chain, my expectations were not that high to begin with, but the food I was served here was terrible. My mother came down to Colorado from Illinois to visit me in the hospital, and she was really excited to try Sonic since there isn’t one nearby where she lives. As she brought the food to my hospital room, she had a pleasant grin on her face thinking I was going to be very pleased with the meal she brought for me: A chicago style hot dog with tater tots! Of course, I already knew better, but I could see why my mother was fooled when looking at the hot dog, which had all of the proper condiments, no ketchup included. Unfortunately what really killed it was the dog itself, which tasted artificially smokey and was unpleasantly mushy. To be frank (no pun intended), what I ate was probably an Oscar Meyer wiener that was masquerading itself as the real thing. For that reason alone, this abomination does not deserve the prestigious label of «Chicago Style Hot Dog». It may have been cheap, but for about a dollar more at Big Al’s I could at least get something dozens of times better.
I would like to apologize to my mother for sounding like an ungrateful brat, but in any case this is an establishment to steer clear of it you plan on ordering hot dogs of any kind.

I like Sonic because they have cheap Happy Hour and I can be a giant bum and sit in my car while they bring me food. Service is usually just fine, sometimes slow, and the credit card machines don’t always work… buuuut, what else can you expect? At least the onion rings and limeades are awesome!

I usually don’t write about fast food places, they are all over the country nothing unique and usually pretty bland food. BUT, on a hot summer day that you have been working and sweating in your car there is NOTHING better than pulling into the slot at a sonic and ordering a large cherry limeade. They say the secret is in the ice and it really might be. Or maybe I just always get sonic at the best time, when I am needing the ice cold drink.
Food wise, I hardly ever order anything, salty fast food isn’t really up my alley, but when I occassionally do, I usally am disappointed. Nothing is special about a floppy chicken sandwich covered in salt and mayo.
Negatives aside, their drinks are amazing! Between their ‘happy hour’ between 2 – 4 pm, where every drink is half off, and the option to choose your flavor to add to a drink, this is the best place to spend 5 minutes to cool off.
Most of their shakes melt quickly, but you have the option to add a variety of ‘bits’ into the ice cream. M&m’s, Oreo’s, Cookie’s & Cream, Butterfingers, you name it they probably can include it.
WIth the rest of their drinks they have a list of flavor shots that you can add in, if you are craving a refreshing coke, why not add coconut or blueberry, cranberry or vanilla? The combinations are almost endless!
Overall if you need that 5 minutes to take a breather, go to sonic you can order without getting out of your car, sit in the shade and enjoy your ice cold cherry limeade!

This place is the best. I just wish they had one of these in NYC, because I would be here… EVERYDAY!
They have the most delicious drinks and blended floats (try a refreshing Ocean Water or a delicious Rootbeer Blended Float), which alone would warrant a 5 star review, but there is also their yummy food. Now I go to Sonic just about everytime I’m in Colorado and I get the exact same thing everytime! A breakfast toaster Sandwich with tatertots and a breakfast burrito on the side. I get this everytime because they serve breakfast ALL DAY! And we all know how much I love places that serve breakfast all day… This place rules. Easy as that.

Happy Hour 2−4pm. Half price drinks. Decently delicious chicken finger sandwiches.
