"On Wednesday, we traveled from New Orleans to Baton Rouge where Dad conducted a townhall with the Governor of Louisiana Bobby Jindal. After the townhall, we traveled to Tampa, Florida for a finance event. The girls and I ended the day going to one of my favorite restaurants, Sonic.I am obsessed with their burgers and cherry limeade. Today, there are more events in Florida, and my mom is back on the trail!" —Meghan McCain, on McCainBlogette.com
maybe its just the Sonics in my area (Fresno, CA), but their burgers suck!
I never get a burger from Sonic anymore because there is no flavor and the bun is often stale.. besides the wonderful array of drinks there are better options on their menu, such as popcorn chicken, breakfast toasters, or chili cheese coneys.
I am a fiend for Sonic's ice and drinks. I get a drink there everyday, but seldom get their hamburgers.
There onion rings are good. They are made on site. I was surprised. I went into one with inside seating and watched the guy making them. The manager told me they take two hours to prepare with all the stages of soaking and breading.
As eatorama said, they're onion rings are made from scratch at each store. When they're prepared just right -- they're delicious. Some of my favorite rings.
That being said, all Sonics are not created equal, and some employees don't take the same pride and care as others. I've had bad rings, cut too thick, not enough breading, slimy and/or stale. Just depends on location and who's working.
Burgers are hit and miss. At a good store, on a good day, they're pretty darn tasty, almost like a poor man's Whataburger (which is a compliment). At a bad store, on a bad day, their dry, not much flavor, and disappointing.
Ahh... but of course, such is the world of fast food, where employee turnover is High, and average salaries are Low.
