Let's talk about Sonic for a minute. I went to Sonic for the first time today. I have obsessed about Sonic for quite some time. You see we have only had Sonic in Minnesota for about a year. Why was I obsessed you ask? Because of all the damn Sonic commercials that played on TV when there was no Sonic in MN. I have this thing about wanting things I can't have. So I wanted Sonic because it looks so good on TV.
About a year ago Sonic arrived with quite a large bang. The first one opened up on the East Side of St. Paul which is where I lived for about 37 years but have since moved to a different part of St. Paul (Highland Park in case you were wondering). I was desperate to go. I had to try Sonic. I held off for about a week and then one night I was going to take a trip across town, ok it's about 8 miles but it's like on the other side of St. Paul so anyway I happened to read the paper before I left and found a very interesting story about Sonic that halted my trip. People were waiting in line for 3-4 hours to get into Sonic. WHAT???? Yes, that is right folks business was booming. They actually had to set up a staging area down the road from Sonic, you had to go to the staging area and wait for your turn to enter Sonic's parking lot. I guess it pretty much stayed that way all summer. No Sonic for me. I like to try new things but I am not one to wait 3 hours for food.
A few more Sonic's have opened in MN but none close to me and I never got around to the far eastern side of St. Paul so I was thrilled to hear that Sonic was opening in West St. Paul, very close to my place of employment. I was out and about today and the line wasn't long so I stopped.
My review: It was ok. The burger was decent and so were the tots but I do have to say that the Cherry Limeaid was to die for. It was also happy hour so my drink was 1/2 price.
Is Sonic worth th hype? Eh, you have to be the judge. Will I go back? Yes, there are some other things I would like to try and I am definitely getting another Cherry Limeaid. I also want to try some Ocean thing. Ocean breeze or something like that. It was blue, it looked good.
Now if Chik-fil-A would just get here.............

I like Sonic- we had them in TX, but not in FL. The ice cream with slushies drinks they make are awesome! Cannot remember what they are called???
But did you say you don't have Chik-Fil-A????? Oh no, that is a tragedy. Their sweet tea is da bomb.
FGIS-I think I must try one of those ice cream slushies that sounds good.
No, sadly we don't have Chik-fil-A here. How sad is that. I have had it before and I LOVE it. I blame the food network for my Chik-Fil-A obsession because that is how I found out about it. I did do a little research and found that this is one location on the campus of the University of MN but it's not very convenient so I have never been there. They just need to open up some real stores here.
Their classic chicken sandwich is great too, butter and pickles. We had one near our house in Dallas-- double drive thru 5 minutes away. And in Florida they opened the mac daddy one around the corner shortly after we moved to Sydney-- we missed out.
Here's the low down on Sonic. The blue drink you are refering to I believe is the Ocean Water. It is Sprite with Coconut flavoring in it. They will also do a diet Ocean Water for you that they make with Diet Sprite.
The slushes that have the ice cream in them are called Cream Slushes...the orange one is my favorite. They use orange juice and it comes up much like an orange creamcicle.
What can I say??? The husband likes his Sonic :-)
Thanks for the heads up Bee Bee. Ocean Water, that sounds devine.
I love the cherry limeade, Eric loves Ocean Water. Eric LOVES their food, I think it's OK. Pretty good burgers. The cream slushes are delicious. I like cherry. We have a Sonic about a mile from our house. The only time I go there is for drinks.
Meh, I could do without the food. Yes, it's good - but the Ocean Water with Strawberry add-in ... now that's what I go for. Thankfully Sonic is on my way home from school so every now and then I will stop and grab one. It's sooooooooooooooooo good.
I'm glad that there's no Sonic around here or I think I'd be in trouble. As it is, we have too many great local places that I have to steer clear of, or only stop in on occasions, or I'd totally ruin the WW plan.
