This place is just awful. I've been to several Sonic's over the years since they opened a few of them here in Birmingham, AL. I've never once enjoyed my meal. You may ask, why did I keep going back? Because people i've ridden with or family loves the place. I don't know why. They're bland at best. They sell generic burgers for twice what they should cost. Case in point, a "kids" hamburger (not cheeseburger mind you) costs 2.99. Really? 2.99? Three dollars for a sorry, greasy bland burger that doesn't even have cheese? They also sell a grilled cheese sandwhich for 2.99. Its not as if its even a "Resteraunt quality" grilled cheese, its two pieces of white bread, the kind you buy in the store, with a piece of store quality cheese thrown on it and heated. I went there tonight because i recieved a $5 gift card to sonic from my mother in law. I figured what the hell. I ordered a "chicken finger sandwhich", which was messily thrown together and slathered in the nastiest, most bitter mayonaise i've ever tasted. Taking it from the wrapper covered my hands in this crap. Save your money, go to any of the other dozen or so superior fast food places (Rally's, checkers, krystal, mcdonalds, jacks, burger king) and get edible food for a reasonable price. Didn't help that it took them 15 minutes (timed it) to bring this sorry excuse for food out to me. The only thing Sonic is remotely good for is slushies, and again, save yourself some money and headaches and just go through a 7-11. Anyone that likes the food at this place and willingly spends upwards of 15 dollars for what would cost 4 bucks at mcdonalds, has a serious, serious character flaw. Also, i've heard you're supposed to tip Sonic car hops. Yeah right!
