Sonic

Concept is stupid in the cold weather. To me, the quality of the food will be what matters.

i understand where you are coming from. ive been one of the more interested parties but i dont dig eating in the car.

gave it a visual on the way to Popeyes at 6ish last night. like 30 cars in the staging area so headed off for some great chicken instead.hit it on the way back around 1030. flag guy in the staging area tells us to follow the car in front of us for the line for the stalls. the guy in front of us pulls over behind a parked car(no light on,not running) so we pulled into the next lane over. waited there for like 5 minutes get up to the front and this other staging area guy is like "drive thru?",i'm like "no.stall" and he is like over there. so i have togo around in a circle to get to that lane and on the way tell the first staging guy that i just like driving in circles instead of telling him he gives shitty instructions. this time i see a sign in the dark that says drive thru on the left and stalls on the right. after getting to the stall we wait like 2 minutes for a ultra chipper voice to come on and we place our order.i just got an app and dessert. both were good. Mozzarella sticks and a butterfinger Sonic Blast. had a woman server which was a big deal to me. ill try and go back and get a full meal sometime,i tell you some of the pictures of food on the menu dont look appealing at all.

My first trip to any Sonic and it was a mixed experience. We got there around 11:30 after Wrestlejam and it was still pretty packed. First off when you drive in you have to go about 100 yards to the end of the lot to enter the staging area where parking lot attendents direct you where to go. We were going to the drive thru so we had to now circle the building to order, come back around to pick it up, then circle the building to exit past the staging area. You practically need a GPS to get around this place.

It's a pretty cool setup though with lots of shiny, happy people rolling around serving the cars parked in the slots. First impression of the menu was kind of small but better small and well done then large and shitty. I ordered the chicken sandwich combo and Alex had the cheeseburger combo. The onion rings pretty much sucked. They were cold but even if they were hot I think they would have tasted pretty bad. Alex's fries were put in the bag upside down and completely dumped out so he had to fish them out of the bottom. Again, they were cold and also pretty flavorless. The chicken sandwich and the burger were fine though so it wasnt a total loss. I'm going to give them another shot soon. Definitely try something a little more fun like that butterfinger Sonic blast. And no more onion rings there, ever.

thanks for sharing Hunky. i think we saw Brian Fury and someone else pull in while we were eating there after the show.

I've never had their onion rings and was never big on their fries...I was always partial to their tater tots. You should try those next time around.

ill try a burger and/or dog some time but with Popeyes right down the street they are fighting a losing battle for my dinner money. they will get my dessert money on the way home though since 1 apple pie from Popeyes is like a dessert appetizer.

Apparently a deal has been struck where several Arby's locations around CT have been sold off and will be torn down and replaced with Sonic. I know of Orange and Bristol for sure, still looking for info on any other spots.

[Love Machine Art Barr]

is that a good or bad thing?

[Captain Howdy]

I'd consider it a good thing, the last few times I've had Arby's I feel like the quality has declined a lot.

I've been to the new Sonic in Milford several times now, since it's on my way commuting to/from New Haven. It's pretty good.....and they do have an indoor dining area [not sampled by me] in addition to the carports and drive thru. The Coney Dog and Chili Cheese tots are really tasty. Although if you eat them in the car, I feel sorry for anyone else who's in the car with you on the ride home.

boy your body processes pretty fast.

i think Sonic has good desserts and sides but IMO many of their main items are kinda crappy.
