Sonic Drive-in

I’ll give this a 4 just because it’s Sonic (Sorry!) Having said that, the service was very good. It was nice to be able to understand the woman who took our order (take note other fast food places!). Everything was pretty cheap and we got quite a bit for very little. The people who brought out our food were very polite. All in all, a good experience.

It’s a Sonic. A summer staple. In fact, I never eat here during the winter. I love going on a summer afternoon to have a shake and feed my dog tater-​tots. In fact, he knows the words «cheesy tater-​tots», and gets perky and pumped about it.
Oh! I lied, I totally go here in the winter. But only in February for the cherry chocolate shake. Sweetheart shake! Now I’m craving one, wonder if I can order it now???

I have a soft spot in my heart for Sonic. It’s simply a great concept. Especially at the time of the year when you can roll down your windows, enjoy an evening breeze, and not worry about sitting in a small puddle of your own sweat as you eat…
I had a great time with my dad here the other night. After securing some pepper spray at Academy to deter any more would be 4 AM door bell ringers at the new pad, he surreptitiously drove us past the Sonic nearby. After minimal arm twisting, I ordered a classic hot dog, a small order of tots, and we split a Coke Zero. He hit the jackpot with a delicious Frito Pie wrap. Get out of my face. We topped it all off with a couple vanilla cones. Total spent: less than $ 7.
Why I love Sonic: I love the car hops. The ones in San Marcos always seem to be top notch and I don’t quite know why that is. Whether it’s the Rattler or Bobcat spirit, they always seem to be in great moods and genuinely friendly. I also love the prices. Everything is from your car. It’s like a drive-​in movie, which I don’t know why they no longer exist, because that too is a great concept.
The one ding: Our cake cones were stale… really, really stale. Not okay… yes, I ate it.
I always end up spending more time at Sonic than I set out to. I love to tune my station to some mellow music or to NPR and just sit back and watch the sky unfurl. Or, I love talking with my dad, realizing there is still so much I don’t know and so much I want to know. I have got some wonderful parents. So, yes, I certainly have a soft spot for this little drive-​in.
