As someone who has multiple Sonics within four miles, including one in walking distance from my humble abode, I must inform my fellow contributors that the establishment is vastly overrated. Sorry to be a buzz-kill, but facts are facts. That said, their massive chili dogs trump A&W’s, which is something I never thought I’d say. Other better-than-average offerings include the breakfast burritos and the slushes. Go, experience the Sonic, but just don’t set your bars too high.

Oh man, sorry about that Toonces. I hope you weren’t the guy who tossed his club straight up in the air and nearly got hit in the head.

There’s a Five Guys here in Baltimore. Maybe I’ll have to go. Unfortunately, I strictly avoid the chains while I’m in a different place. I’m all about having the “good food” when it’s not on my buck.

I used to play this course where the 4th holse was a 260 yard par 4. I can’t tell you how many times I hit it on the green, right next to the cup, but I never could get the hole in one. Very frustrating. Made me give up golf.

Re: Sonic Location

The Sonic going up in Elk River is progressing nicely. I’m not a construction worker but it looks like it should be open within a couple of months. That means I will be only a few short blocks away from having Sonic for lunch 3 times per week.

I’ve done some research; the new Sonic is merely down the block from the old Suburban Ave. Krispy Kreme, not on the same site.

In conclusion: what could go wrong?

True or false: the Sonic is on the same site as a failed Krispy Kreme.

Well, three out of every five new Minnesota businesses opens on a former Krispy Kreme site, so the odds are in true’s favor.

Jama–You could do the triathlon with consecutive burgers at Burger Time, 5 Guys, and Vals.

If you finish with Vals, the VA isn’t too far away for your certain heart attack.

LQ: yep, right across 2nd St/Hwy 23.

Jama: I hyperlinked the menu above. No tots or curds, but you won’t notice their absence.
