***** Sonic (Greenacres, Boynton Beach, Homestead)

Something like 60 days ago, Jeff Eats tried Sonic for the first time. Since that first outing, I’ve been back 3 additional times….I absolutely love the burgers, fries, onion rings, shakes, soft ice cream, fried chicken and grilled chicken that this fast-food joint serves-up.

Printed below is a “corporate” profile that I swiped from Yahoo Finance–this summary should give you the basics on this 3,500 unit chain that features drive-up service with food-being delivered to your car by a wait-staff on roller skates…think Happy Days, Richie Cunningham, Fonize, Potsie and Ralph The Mouth and you’ll catch the vibe.

“Sonic Corp. operates and franchises a chain of quick-service drive-in restaurants in the United States. As of August 6, 2013, the company operated approximately 3,500 drive-in restaurants in 43 states. It also leases signs and real estate. The company was founded in 1953 and is headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.”

Just so you know, there are a load of Sonic outlets in Florida…for our purposes–there is 1 in Greenacres, 1 in Boynton Beach, 1 in Homestead (Miami Gardens and Lauderhill are currently under construction)…but like I just said, there are a ton of others in the great state of Florida (Mr. Chairman, I have the high honor and great privilege to cast…).

Anyway…

Jeff Eats has been to the Greenacres joint 4 times and I got to tell you, that Sonic really got the job done for me. The food was really good– as was the service and the prices were super reasonable (think Burger King, Wendy’s, McDonald’s). The menu is gigantic…burgers, fries, onion rings, soft ice cream, shakes, chicken, salads, hot dogs, desserts—best way for Jeff Eats to describe Sonic—imagine if Burger King, Dairy Queen and Chik fil A—merged…that’s Sonic!…and the joint is open on Sunday!!!

If you haven’t been to a Sonic, GO! You will love it.

    Jeff,
    Have to agree Sonic is a dynamite fast food joint.

    Have to agree, its as if BK, DQ and Chik filA combined. The menu covers everything. I thin the problem for expansion is that you need a really large area to build one because they have drive in stalls for 25 cars. I was very impressed with the one in Boynton.

    Had heard of sonic but had never eaten at one. Tried it just now for lunch and the cheeseburger and ff were delicious. You are right in that it has a huge menu and is like Burger King, Dairy Queen and Chik fil A all rolled up in one. I liked the eating in your car concept very retro. I will definitely be back. By the way I ate at the Greenacres location.

    I don’t go there.
    I really don’t want to give the guy or gal on roller skates a buck tip for bringing me my food.

    Jeff,
    Yesterday afternoon my wife and I tried Sonic for the first time. We went to Boynton location. Very impressed by the size of its menu, prices, and the quality of the burgers, fries and soft serve ice cream that we had. The roller skate delivery is fun and we will definitely be back to try other items.
