Not at sonic speed
Ten days after Sonic opened on 11370 Fourth St., some of us in our Fourth Street newsroom decided to hit up the drive-thru. It was still very crowded. We got there at 11:30 a.m. and was told the drive-thru would take about 10 minutes. Ten minutes turned into 20, which turned into 30. We had a great view of the Marriott.
I ordered the hamburger combo and I must say the food was more fun than tasty, although I did eye a co-worker's chili-cheese Coney with wonderment. I liked the nice touches -- tater tots instead of fries, a mint taped to the beverage lid and ocean water (a concoction of Sprite and blue coconut flavoring that tastes like something your doctor would disapprove and therefore delicious.)
Suggestions of what I should order next are welcomed. That Coney looked promising.

Ocean Water? Sounds delicious!
Rating of Sonic v. In n Out?
OMG, In-N-Out blows Sonic out of the ocean water. But it's nice to have the variety at Sonic.
The chili-cheese tots are pretty good.
Food quality -- In-N-Out wins, easily. Sonic is great for variety, great drinks and fun experience/hang-out location.
