I'd kill for a coney right about now.

>muh microwaved food
Their burgers aren't even good.

Joey weighs in...

Sonic burgers are shit, but the coney dogs are pretty tasty most of the time. I always get a few corn dogs on the days they're 25 cents each.

>>6111625
What even are those in the middle? Tater Tots with cheese on them? Some kind of jalapeno thing?

Individually everything looks good but together its a little nauseating.

>>6111633
it's hilarious how horrible their burgers are. they perpetually fuck up the simplest thing.

>>6111634
Cheese tots. They have jalapeno poppers but they're not in the picture.

sonic only does one thing right and that's pic related.
their food is shit tier.

Steak & Shake does what Sonic does but 10x better.

>>6111656
Steak and Shake has skinny little bitch fries that are made for faggots like you.

>>6111630
I've eaten there plenty of times and never had their burgers. Everything else is okay, though. I always get the onion rings.

>>6111625
>have never eaten at sonic
there's one by the area i just moved to, what should i try if i decide to go?

>>6111648
>cup of soda or syrup with crushed ice
Nothing special.

>>6111739
I suggest the chili cheese coney with onion rings and a Mello Yello.

Another winner is the chicken fried steak sandwich with extra mayonnaise, chili cheese tots, and a Mello Yellow.

The Super Sonic double cheeseburger is the best national chain burger. Order it with mayonnaise, tater tots, and a root beer.

That's all I ever order. Getting some jalapeno poopers with ranch is worth your time.

Also, they have a secret menu item called the "extreme tater tots" which is chili, cheese, ranch dressing, chopped onion, and pickled jalapeno slices.

Here we have had Sonic open up and close down in two different locations. From what I remember it was packed the first couple months of it being open then people quickly forgot about it/hated it and it went under.
Dog n Suds is better anyway.

>>6111751
Almost forgot, the corn dog with mustard is pretty awesome.

>>6111736
Yeah, them rings is bangin. Nice tangy sweetness to em.

>>6111754
Well, I'd rather it be a local place, but until then, Sonic will have to do. They have the most potential, easily.

I really find the format appealing. You can plan your order, push the button when you're ready, you're already parked if you want to eat your food, you can pay with the debit machine, you can check to make sure your food is right before driving off, etc.

And if you're lucky, there's some pretty hot chicks on roller skates.

The appetizers, drink combinations, and pretty solid burgers and chili dogs makes it No. 1 in my book.

Eh, no thanks

>>6111787
Those videos pretty much sum up my experience with sonic.
Fucking awful but I always get excited to go for some reason.

>>6111787
>neckbeards don't like sonic
Color me surprised.

>>6111774
just take the bun off the burger and eat that
go to in n out and get a double double protein style

>>6111632
God damnit I watched that whole fucking video seeing how long he would do the stupid rocky voice.

>>6111801
You realize it's a thinly veiled critique of the Sonic games and not an actual food review, right? Right?

Couple of times I've been to Sonic, the burger was mediocre, and the onion rings were sweet and cinnamon tasting.

>>6111819
I have no idea I don't into video games. I just fucking hate sonic.

>>6111625
are the burgers anything like dairy queen?
once i got a burger from dq and it tasted like genitals

>>6111827
Well, don't feel bad. What they're saying is pretty applicable to both, but I feel like they're really talking about Sonic the game more than the food. The weezer and "super hero movies" jokes drives the point home even further. Basically, it's a critique on viewing the world through rose-tinted goggles for something that used to be great, but isn't anymore. You can't review something for what it used to be, but have to look at it for what it is. That's what I took from it, anyways.

I don't think anyone, including myself, would say Sonic was ever great. It's the best fast food, but it's not great by a mile.

weezer and Sonic both used to be fucking awesome, though.

>>6111834
I can confirm that Dairy Queen and Tastee Freez both suck.

God-tier frozen treats, though.

>>6111839
>weezer [...] used to be fucking awesome
/mu/ would like a word with you

That's because you didn't put a cold can of spaghettio's on top of it.

I'm a Russian-American.

>>6111656
I'm happy the Steak 'n Shake hype threads never caught on in /ck/. I ate at them frequently for the 13 years I lived in the Midwest, 4-5 of years of which I must have eaten there close to four times a months. My friends were fanatics, and it was 'the spot' or hangout. I even dated someone who would always demand to go there when the proposition of a latenight snack* came up. She was from Philly. Perhaps there was some strange to novelty to it all for her. Now that I live elsewhere, I will say what I almost always say about most regional chains such as (this one might be national) Waffle House, Johnny Rockets, Fuddrucker's, and Red Robin. So what?

>>6111877
>So what?
That's how I feel about Five Guys. I'd rather go to Burger King.

I eat cheeseburgers once a week, sometimes more, and I have to say, Five Guys is the worst I've ever had.

>>6111893
If you think Burger King is better than Five Guys, then you you must have a brain tumor or something.

>>6111632
i'm close to tears

>>6111893
Different strokes, different folks, etc. I get it. I have a meh tier relationship with Five Guys. Burger King is alright, but I'd prefer Five Guys I guess, even though BK is technically more convenient. I eat burgers a decent amount...I'll usually cook them myself, unless I'm craving fastfood.

>>6111895
>Jimmy John's above Quiznos

Get that shit out of here

>>6111895
>this chart says this so it's obviously factual evidence!!!

Consumers are retards that just hit up what is the most hip at the time. Chick-Fil-A is good, but their chicken is no where near as good as Popeyes.

And what the fuck is "The Habit?" I've NEVER heard of that place.

>>6111895
Flavor is the most important, but there are other factors.

>half-melted cheese
>cheese that IS melted is usually stuck to the foil
>all the toppings squeeze out the back and onto the table
>bun is always squished
>way too many condiments
>fries are usually overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside
>$12+ for this mess

>>6111909
>comparing Chick-fil-A to Popeye's
Not who you're replying to, but that is just stupid.

Chick-fil-A primarily serves boneless chicken breast sandwiches whereas Popeye's serves bone-in chicken pieces both white and dark meat.

Now if you just want to compare the tenders then specify.

>>6111895
>Checkers that low
dropped

>>6111909
I never said that, stop projecting your insecurities onto me. The picture is relevant to the thread. I also don't need a picture to backup the statement that Five Guys is better than Burger King, that shit is common knowledge. But I will concede that opinions vary amongst people, and I respect that you have different taste than me, even thoughyour taste is obviously shitty. Do you enjoy eating your own feces for dessert after eating at BK? Seems like it would go together nicely

>>6111926
>Fast food is srs business in clapistan.

>>6111911
>you will never bite into this greasy mess of pure freedom

Feels bad man

>>6111630
Sonic has no microwaves, you dick.

>>6111895
Why are the international, biggest companies rated the lowest?
Was this made my some mom and dad's burger shack?

that fucking feel when worked at Sonic for over a decade
tfw have a Sonic tattoo regret it not

>>6111960
I'd rather have Sanic.
It's less autistic than Sonic and that's saying something.

Are crinkle cut fries meme-food yet?
I always preferred them to straight cut, they seem crunchier and better.

>>6111977
Unless you worked there in the last 2 1/2 years, no, they don't. They have steamers and that's it.

>>6111977
And their limeades ARE Sprite with lime, but they stopped doing the fresh lime squeeze a long time ago. They switched to concentrated lime squirts.

>>6111970
waffle > crinkle > straight cuts

>>6111983
No waffles down under :(

>>6111625
Youre gonna die

>>6111930
What irrelevant shit hole are you from again?

>>6111983
>>6112001
Waffle fries covered in cheese, sweet Jesus. It's terrible for you, but in that moment you don't really give a shit. Sort of like heroin.

>>6111970
>meme-food
stop

>>6111951
Then why were my tator tots cold on the outside and hot on the inside once when I got them.

>>6111846

/mu/ likes what everyone hates

>>6111895
>in n out
>higher than 5 dicks for burgers
damn straight. get rekt 5 splooge.

>>6112040
Microwaves don't work like that.
They fried them in oil prior to you buying them 10 minutes later when they got cold.

>>6112040
That happens with other heating apparatuses, too. It just means they had it in a freezer.

Sonic would be top tier even if they only sold corn dogs and tater tots. What other chain does that?

Sonic is okay, but I'm really into Checkers/Rallys if I wanna slam my face into some greasy dog shit.
Holy fuck, I need it now

>Scan thread
>No mention of Cook Out
>You'll cowards don't even know good fast food

Get on my level. Oh wait, you can't, because you fags don't have Cook Outs.

>>6112085
we have a couple here. they're really inexpensive and the food is okay. plus they're open late as hell so that's always cool.
and I mean, you can get like a corndog and a quesadilla as sides? I fuck with that

>>6112087
You're not getting the full experience unless you complete your meal with a milkshake. A Cheerwine float is fine too.

>>6111895
This chart is not factual in the slightest. Besides the burger category being completely fucked...

> Quiznos = Shlotzski's
> Potbelly's beat all other grilled subs.
> Firehouse is meh-tier food.
> McAllister's is easily 0.4 above Jason's Deli.
> No Freebird's on the Burrito ratings?
> Taco Bell is listed but no Taco Bueno?
> Einstein's Bros. Bagels is listed under sandwiches and not an alternative category for breakfast places trying not to be known for breakfast?
> And why is Fuddruckers, a sit down restaurant, listed among fast food burger joints?

>>6112085
We just got one in my college town. It replaced a KFC and people are blowing it the fuck up. It's more popular than any other fast food joint where I'm at.

>Cheeseburger, cheddar style
>Double up on steak quesadillas.

the best.

>>6112040
Because a lot of fast food workers care not for the quality of the food being served. That' has nothing to do wih the business.

When you serve over the time limit food, it'll be cold on the outside. I tried to not do that, making sure I served fresh food every time, only putting down what I needed. The again, when ever you make food as fresh as possible, customers get angry because it takes longer than 1 minute.

>>6112085
those shakes are fucking godly. and they serve cheerwine! fuck now i want cookout. the only place around here to get decent hushpuppies too

>>6112145
Do it yourself, fgt.

No wonder Americans are such fat cunts.

>>6111625
How is it that everything on that pic is the same dull colour?

>>6112131
I work at Firehouse. If you let your food get cold, or with some subs even room temperature, that shit is inedible.

>>6112167
The unhealthier it is, the more dull the color. All these items are around the same level of unhealthiness, which explains the uniformity in color.

My dream is to go to the US and eat all these unhealthy foods and gain 50kgs.

>>6112217
>gain 50kgs.
not if you walk or ride from town to town

>>6112217

>gaining metrics

>>6112217
You'll get citizenship if you do that.

>>6111625
Lol, we have Whataburger and Dairy Queen in Texas, pleb

steak and shake has some banging milkshakes.

Steak and Shake is the most God awful place I've ever eaten at. I gave that shit hole two chances to impress me and it didn't. Nevermind the shitty fucking service (no fucking excuse waiting an hour for food in a fucking fast food place), but the food itself it shit. The burgers are disgusting, the fries are terrible, and even their chili is just a step above dog food. Never going back.

>>6111911
Why is a slug on the burger?

>>6114457
what about dem milkshakes though? name me a fast food place with equal or better milkshakes?

>>6114488

I didn't try the milkshakes. I pretty rarely have shakes as is, but I'm certainly not gonna get a shake if I think the food is shit.

>>6114488

>>6114488
>only go there for a shake
>still takes more than 15 minutes after ordering, can see the employees the entire time

>>6111625
They don't have In-N-Out or Burger Street where you're from, do they?

Sonic is vomit inducing, never again

>>6114599
I should have said "best national fast food chain" in the OP.

I love some steak n shake, you can get a whole fucking meal for like 7 bucks including a shake.

The fries suck tho, even the salt and vinegar ones. They're basically pic related except hot.

Also, I wish Swensons was national. They are god tier.

>>6111926
I'm not defending BK either. I am saying that in general, using a chart that places some shitty no-name burger joint above everything else to argue what's "better" is retarded.

Honestly the last good burger I had was from Wendy's. But they are also severely hit or miss, because the time before that it was so gross I threw half of it away.

I used to work there ask me any questions!

>>6112131
>Taco Malo

No thanks, not even for free

>>6114696
Explain how the chili is kept warm, and the process to make a chili cheese coney.

I'm assuming the chili is in some kind of chafing dish, and after the dog is assembled inside the box, they put it in a steamer and press a lever to release the steam.

>>6111909
The Habit's pretty fucking great. It's only a Cali chain afaik.

>>6111754
>Dog n Suds is better anyway.
Where in God's holy lands is one, anon. I must know because reasons.

Why does no one ever mention Tommys on these threads. I'll admit the burgers are meh tier, but the chili dogs and chili fries.. i could get fat and die just from eating those for the rest of my life. ESPECIALLY if you specify 'well done' for the fries.

>>6115089
>Why does no one ever mention Tommys on these threads.
Because they're "Literally Who: The Post."

>>6112085
My nigga. Their cajun fries are fucking GOAT

>>6115089
Tommy's > In N Out

In n out gets all the hype tho because of memes.

>>6115089
Because they only do business in two of the biggest shitholes in the country: California and Nevada

>>6114685
Indeed they are. Truly the uncrowned king.

>>6115138
>food is popular
>it's hyped because memes!!!
for fuck's sake when will this memefood meme end

>>6115159
in n out is LITERALLY a mem tho.
why else would a REGIONAL chain get so much attention here?

>>6115162
because people live near them

>>6111893
Five guys is good for when you just want a greasy, savory mess. Get a couple of double cheeseburgers, put some fries in between them, pour vinegar on it, hnnnnnng

>>6114675
my sister eats bags and bags of hot fries

ya typical vegan

>>6111625
How many calories in that?

>>6112085
cuck out

but really I want it ;_;

>>6111625
I think their burgers are shitty cafeteria tier. You can't really fuck up tator tots though.

Okay I can recognize the corn dogs, tater tots, onion rings, popcorn chicken, and burger, but what's that cheesy nugget shit at the bottom?

best fast food chain coming through

>>6115259
tater tots with cheese

>>6112040
>cold on the outside and hot on the inside
>microwaves do this

You have it completely backwards.

>>6112040
because when food cools, the outside cools first? you got tater tots that weren't fresh from the fryer.

>>6111625
Sonic's alright, yeah. But I can't think of a single fast food item they do better than anyone else.

>>6115260
Yeah maybe if you're a redneck or a nigger

>>6115285
Well, they're the only one of the national chains that has: tater tots (BK has tater rounds for breakfast), corn dogs, hot dogs, chicken fried steak sandwich, jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks (Arby's might do this I think), and maybe some other stuff. Plus the toasters are unique as far as breakfast goes. And the menu is all day.

>>6115285
Onion rings

>>6115285
They're burgers hands down blow McDonalds out of the water.

It's still worse than the food I can get at just about any taqueria in roughly the same time it takes for some roller skating faggot to bring me a greasy burger and soggy onion rings.

>>6114739
Chili is in a warming well. Water is kept in there at around 200 degrees. Chili goes on dog, cheese goes on chili and nto a steamer is goes. There are no microwaves, at least not when I worked from '01-'12

>>6115425
>blow McDonalds out of the water.
lots of burger places do that though

>>6115290
And tons of drinks, slushes and ice cream.

>>6115615

All burger places do that. McDonald's is the only place that serves paper-thin "burgers."

>>6111632
:(

>>6111817

I really want to give my local sonics another chance
but everytime I do, they always fuck it up somehow

If you are really feeling confident in your intestinal constitution, take a trip to Rally's.

Great for that time they have me a soda cup full of cleaning solution and two tea dispenser nozzles in it, love being poisoned

They've been advertising in my area for 10 years now and there's still not a Sonic within 30 minutes of my house

>>6112063

Doubt it.

>>6116783
Like 20 locations in Texas now.

I expected meme-tier food thanks to all the /ck/ bitching and gloating, but for the price it's pretty damn good.

I'll be eating at the In & Out in Plano in about an hour.

>>6116823

listen up you assburgery fuck, you made most of that stuff up on the spot

>>6117670
The only thing he could have possibly lied about is the chicken fried steak. They discontinued that years ago, but maybe some franchisees still carry them.

>>6118018
Ate a chicken fried steak sandwich last week.

Who Gus Jr. here?

They had breddy cheap burgers, burritos and breakfast burritos. Also their salsa from the salsa bar is perfect on anything.

>>6111625
what about burger bros???????????
>all these random fucking regional chains no one has heard of itt

Sheetz masterrace reporting in

Wawa fags need not apply

>>6118030
Like I said, some franchisees probably carry them. In Tucson for sure I know we stopped carrying them around '03.

>>6111911
Why the fuck do employees anywhere ever think it is a good idea to squish the bun. It's absolutely retarded and defeats the purpose of adding yeast to bread. If for some stupider reason i actually want the bun squished i'll do it myself

>>6111956
Taste not value

>>6111956
I'd say they were probably included in there just for reference points.

>>6111983
Curly> wedge> straight cut> waffle> crinkle

Wheres the Fatburger love?

>>6118135
The same reason faggots like yourself shove the poor excuse of a grease receptical in their face plunger every day.
Because the employees really give about as many fucks as you do, about what you're putting into your body.

>>6111625

Me and a buddy used to go get drinks at Sonic and drive around the corner for food at In-N-Out.

>>6111754
I like Stars as well!

I am on a diet and I come to these threads just to drool.

>>6111895
>In-N-Out higher than Whataburger, Culver's, Checkers, and Carl's Jr.
>no Which Wich or Penn Station
>Firehouse higher than Potbelly or Schlotzsky's
>Chick-fil-A higher than any legitimate chicken shops, let alone higher than Popeyes or Church's

>>6117192
I must say I agree with this.

They have good ice cream.
