A Sonic was opened in north Jersey and people flocked. Nearly a 2hr wait for fast food...This caused serious traffic on Rt. 17 and many people had to park nearly half a mile to then walk in and wait to place an order...

Sonic has AWESOME DRINKS. The food is just okay.

I still wouldn't wait in line. I go during happy hour for half off a fruit slush.

the food is the same as any other fast food joint except they have a decent value menu and drinks that other places don't have, plus they have been bombarding us with commercials for the past few years with the nearest one like 100 miles away.

Commercials for Sonic have been on TV here in NJ for over 5 years...

And the nearest one (until recently) was in PA so this was way over due.

I will sleep outside the first WaWa that opens up near me...

But not Sonic

Wtf is a WaWa?

Even so, Wendy's pretty much pwns all fast food with its consistency. But I can't deny, an In N Out burger hits the spot sometimes when you're "in the mood."

He's addicted to Dave Thomas's meat

Well IDK if a WaWa would be considered fast food....Its like a Quick Check or a 7-11...

But a WaWa is like walking into the best Deli, coffee shop, grocery store, sandwich shop and gas station ever combined...

they just opened up the first Sonic in NY about an hour upstate from me. i still havent made the trip, doesnt seem worth it. i'd do it for in n out burger though, that place is amazing. best burgers ive ever had when i was out in cali.

oh and about WaWa's......half the gas stations around here look like that, some better, some much better. that's nothing special.

Anyone who speaks lowly of a Wawa will promptly get an a**-kicking handed to them by me. Wawa is the shizznit. Plain and simple.

Sonic is pretty good. The drinks and tater tots are what make it worthwhile. Unfortunately, the one near me screws up the order every time. Their biggest screw up was the times they gave me 4 sandwiches, 2 large orders of onion rings and 2 large fries when I order 2 kids combo meals. I tried to explain, but they didn't want to listen ... so I drove to McD's and grabbed some drinks and we ate as much as we could.

To me WaWa will always be Swanee Swifty. It's the down south version of 7-11.

when sonic had their 5 burgers for $5 deal, my friends and i went over there made our order, and when we got back to the house i got my burger, bit into it, and immediately noticed there was no meat in there! i wasnt mad as i probably shouldve been, i called the sonic and got it taken care off and laughed it off

Sonic isn't that great at all. Jesda said it best, good drinks are their main thing. I am a fan of the Jack in the Box but we dont' have em here. I have drove 3 hours for that lol.

A sonic up here would be mobbed just because they have been playing sonic commercials up here for 5+ years and there are none around.
