Another vote for diet Cherry limeade. You can add the flavor mixes to any drink. So you can do cherry coke, lemon berry Sprite, ocean water coke... My kids like to do that.
I do like their tutor tots. And they have pretzel buns for their hot dogs. They automatically put mustard on them, so if you don't want mustard be sure to say so.
Happy Hour is from 2-4 pm for half off drinks. I think their ice cream is half off after 8 pm, but don't quote me on that.

I must be in the minority- I love their cheeseburgers! I get the Junior Double, yum. For drinks I love the rootbeer. And I always order with light ice, they call it EZ ice, otherwise my drink is about 10 sips and done. They go heavy on that good ice. Enjoy your trip!

Peach iced tea is my favorite. IMHO, even plain water tastes better with Sonic ice.  Food Is ok if you are really hungry, otherwise I wouldn't bother. |

Agree- food is gross! We don't go too often, maybe a couple times a year. But there is one down the street from my house. I can see it from my back deck!
I don't drink soda but will occasionally get a slush. You can make any flavor you want.
Shakes are half price after 8pm but their soft serve upsets my stomach but dh likes them.
Also, they will turn any drink into a slush. So if you want a coke just ask to have it as a slush instead.
My kids like the strawberry cream slushes. It's basically a strawberry slush with some ice cream mixed in.

We tried the cherry limeade when Sonic first opened in our area years ago. I will admit that I did NOT like it. To me, the cherry is a strong artificial flavor.
I prefer things like a diet Sprite with grape or another flavor, or the lemon berry slush. The blackberry tea someone mentioned sounds really good.

Strawberry limeade. Orange cream slush. Grape slush. My daughter's favorite drink there is known locally as the "orgasm" and if I remember correctly it's a cherry-vanilla-cream Coke. Imagine ordering your teenage daughter an orgasm from the pimply kid from her English class. Even worse, imagine letting HER order it.  |

Love their TOTS... and I love their blended root beer floats... yummy...
for the food my favorite was the Frito Chili Pie, but I don't think all Sonic's carry it... so usually I go with just the regular footlong chili dog.. I don't like their "new" ones though.. ick.. Just the old traditional one.

Cherry Limeade with extra cherries (not the syrup, but actual cherries - they are so yummy when the drink is done)
My other favorite is Cherry Dr. Pepper or Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper

Another vote for cherry limeade. Another thumbs down for food. I used to like their food but I got violently ill after eating a Sonic burger several years ago and have been turned off of Sonic ever since - in fact turned off of all fast food burgers.

I like the cherry limeade and the slushes (I usually get watermelon or green apple). Cheese sticks. I had one of the new cheesy hot dogs the other day and it wasn't bad.

I had never tried it before--none anywhere near me, but when we were driving to North Carolina and we were passing one, I KNEW I had to stop, after reading about it at 2Peas for years. I ordered the Cherry Limeade. And I LOVED it. SO good. And I'd always scoffed at hearing about how the ice was good--but it really was!

I like their BLTs, which is not on the menu specifically, but they make them with their Texas toast. Along with some tater tots, that is a fun little calorie splurge.

I'm not a fan of their drinks, but I LOVE their sweet potato tator tots when they have. I also really like their breakfast burritos.

Ok Peas...for years I have read (some of you) raving about drinks at Sonic (ice & sodas, not the food!) & finally I will get the chance to see if it lives up to the hype! We fly to NYC tomorrow but will be in California next week & have already found out when we'll be near one....sooooo...what should we try? What are your favourites?! Love the Lemon Creamslush . Hope Sonic lives up to your expectations. If you go during happy hour drinks are 1/2 price. I think it's from 3-6 pm. |

I'm sure it's listed on the website, but 2-4 does sound right now that I think about it.
Funny Sonic story. My DH used to go all the time. He would order a drink and sit in his car and work, calling customers and working on his laptop. Anyway the girls that were always working at that time of day would take great care of him. He liked them so much that he bought them Christmas gifts that year. You got to take care of your Sonic girls.

We love their strawberry limeades. And I'm just gonna lay it on the line here and tell you that I recently tried their Peanut Butter and Bacon Hot Dog, and it was quite tasty.  ETA: my youngest also likes their Nerds slushes. |
