Sonic Drive-In

We went there yesterday and they must have new management! The lady who took our order didnt interrupt us (a huge pet peeve of ours), she listened and called it back perfectly. The burgers came out cooked out perfectly. Juicy with the cheese melted but not running out all over the place and the burger was assembled correctly, not just shoved into the wrapper so it was half on the bun half off. It tasted great. We were impressed! We have had problems here before so this was a welcome change!

The commute from Crosby to Houston was always a long one. Nearly thirty miles one way and if there was traffic, sometimes that thirty miles felt like fifty. It was worsened when the faulty air conditioning went out in my old school Datsun! But despite the comfort factor, I still needed to get to Houston even without beautifully chilled air swirling around the cabin of my car.
So what did I do? Well, few things could make no air conditioning in a car during a Houston summer tolerable but I tried. A good selection of mix tapes in the car (yeah, before CD players + iPods were ubiquitous), a fresh pack of American Spirits (non-​smoker now for many years, thank you very much), and a quick pit stop to Sonic for Route 44 cherry limeade before hopping on I-​10. And you know what? That trifecta of things made the commute bearable and I’d have something to drink for several hours if I finished it at all.
I never really ate at this particular location. Maybe a grilled cheese and tater tots now and again. I did get an obscene amount of cherry limeades though. I know they also have raspberry and strawberry but it’s all about the fresh squeezed limes and extra maraschino cherries!
