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...

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

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."

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...

| 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

They have the usual burgers, fries, etc... But they also have fried chicken, steak, fish/shrimp, hot dogs, and even soup/salad. They have a bunch of shakes, sundaes, and cake too I think.
So yeah, EVERYTHING. I'm actually wanting to go there today. I've seen a few around here but they're across town.

That place honestly sucks. Other than the fact that they sell tater tots, its not ever gonna do anything for me. That, and I grew up near them. I guess its because they hyped it up by airing commercials in areas that they didn't have them.

That's exactly what happens with White Castle.
Also the King Kong nachos look disgusting even though I've heard they're good I just can't get past the ugliness.

I agree on that one. That is a place that is very entertaining. I'd spend like 6 hours there. So that'd be worth it to me, but food... Unless it's a really fancy restaurant that I'm taking the GF to, no...

IMHO White Castle tastes best when you're drunk as they sliiiiide down nicely. 
. But the #1 best fast food joint is historic Pat's steaks,
9th and Passyunk in South Philly. Nuthin burps better than a real Philly cheezesteak. (Buuuuurp, aaaah)!!

They'll serve me a real fried egg sandwich. No pre-formed crap, just a real egg on actual toast.
EDIT: I had no idea that AM-PM was a US chain also, I thought it was only in Japan.
I just googled, and apparently even Family Mart is going to come here, although it'll be called "Famima". Super Cool!
I hope they have bento!

| Borough police officer Corey Lange was directing traffic at the Sonic drive-in on Route 17 when, prosecutors said, he was dragged by an unlicensed driver of an Acura identified as Daniel Yi. "The vehicle came across Route 17 northbound lanes, hit the middle divider. Another vehicle hit Mr. Yi's car pinning the officer in between the two cars," said John Molinelli, Bergen County prosecutor. |
