serious Sonic contender if it were to invade Manhattan. I might never go to Sonic again.

the fast food, ice cream novelty combo is tough to beat. however, Sonic has Ched' R' Peppers and one helluva a root beer float.

The one I went to wasn't a grocery store.  Just sold dairy products with the burgers.  Ice cream was pretty tasty.

Isn't special, really.  Reminds me of baskin robbins. Very "airy" product, with lots of sugar.  Not as good as say, coldstone.

there is one in Emporia

they have some kind of rule where a braums has to be within so many miles of their cow milking place or whatever. manhattan is not close enough.

there is/was (selling it out now) a beef unit a couple miles outside of emporia, although it nothing to do w/ the dairy side IIRC

OT:  Do you tip the Sonic servers?  I mean they just bring you your food and thats it but sometimes I feel like I need to tip them when I've got my kids with me and I order a sh*tload of food.  Espeically when they have to fidget with their little change dispenser thingys.  And what about the ones that go all old school and come out on roller skates, is that worth a buck or two?  Or what if its really cold?  I've never tipped them before but I don't want some chick squatting over my cherry limeaide before she brings it out.

I never even thought about it until an ex-gf always bitched at me when i didn't. still don't and won't. I'm pretty sure if you roller skate you get a little more pay out of the deal, may be wrong though.

Braums has the best ice cream anywhere, not even close.

I used to work at sonic as a cook and a food taker outer (carhop).  Most people don't tip, or tip < 25 cents. 

I used to think people that tipped were complete and utter suckers.

This just blew my mind. I'm not in any way second guessing you as I don't know the facts about each of the above eateries, but did you take the fact that today is opposite day into consideration when making your list? I'm very surprised that braums has the worser food then the dq and also surprised that they have better ice cream/desserts. Is this true??? TIA.

Yea, I know a girl that used to work there and brags about her Roller Skating skillz.  Might challenge her to a race around deadman's curve, or a derby if you can do those 1v1.  Anyways, she said she got paid considerably more for her skillset.

DQ food is not that good.  Plus it pisses me off when I'm in the drive thru trying to get on damn ice cream cone and the dude in front orders 2 burgers.  The DQ's never park anyone and run it out to them.  You have to wait 10 minutes for the freaking cone.

Well first off, food is different for different people, so your list could be different.
I had Braum's the other day (in webb city/joplin MO) and the burger was pretty soggy and  :yuck:, while the fries (crinkle cut) were pretty good.  Braum's has that Baskin Robbins style ice cream thing at the counter with a lot more flavors than DQ/Sonic for an ice cream cone, and they have the waffle cones  :lick: . I've only been here for a while and only eaten at Braum's for supper once, so my experience could have just been below average. DQ has pretty crappy burgers as well imo, but I love the popcorn shrimp or chicken tender basket with gravy or the hickory bbq sauce...also fried mushrooms. That is > Braum's food imo. Sonic of course has the delicious Ched 'R Peppers and Ched 'R Bites and good sammiches/burgers and of course the Chili Cheese Coney.  :love:

As for the shakes and whatnot at Braum's, I'll go back soon and try something besides the cone to compare with DQ/Sonic. The cones are definitely way better @ Braum's though. Best ice cream at a fast food place for sure.

Here's the deal though...Sonic is kinda a weird place to get food from and a place that I would rather avoid if given the chance. These ChEdRR things have been mentioned multipled times and I am trying to figure out if they are worth "it".

1)How much are they money wise? Please keep in mind that I don't have a lot of money to spend on stuff like this.

2) How many of these would I have to get to "fill me up?" Would this be possible?

3) Are the jalapenos big jalapeno pieces or small pieces?

4) What kind of cheese is involved? Sorry for putting this question last, it's probably the most important.

4) What kind of cheese is involved? Sorry for putting this question last, it's probably the most important.

1) Off the top of my head, around 3 bucks. They are a side item
2)You get 4 jalapeno poppers. If you are new to jalapeno poppers, it is basically a jalapeno that has had all the spicy innards removed and replaced with cheese. It is battered and deep fried. Being a side item, they are not  really filling by themselves, and I use them as a french fry replacement from time to time. I wouldn't reccommend trying to get full on these, for 3 bucks you could get 3 double cheeseburgers at McDonald's.
3)Whole
4)Cheddar. Other restaurants have them in the cream cheese variety.

Might want to look into "Snapp's"...

Quote
Once upon a time, Burger King sold very delicious “poppers”, which were cheddar and jalapeƱo bits mixed together, coated and fried. They were very delicious, and very cheap - four for one dollar. But then, for reasons unbeknownst to me, Burger King stopped carrying them. That was close to five years ago. Since then I have been on a rather elusive hunt for a replacement popper. I found very tasty ones at stores and restaurants, but they all consisted of a fry coating too thick, and a halved jalapeƱo, rather than the diced bits I remembered from Burger King.

Snapps Cheddar & Mild Jalapeno Pepper Bites Then I stumbled across Snapp’s cheddar and mile jalapeƱo pepper bites. Not only was I lured by the great price - one dollar for a box of eight, but by the picture, which clearly showed diced bits of a jalapeƱo, rather than an intact halved one.

Five weeks and four boxes of cheddar and mild jalapeƱo pepper bites later, and I can safely say that I’m hooked. They’re cheap. They’re delicious!

I'm still pissed off at Sonic for eliminating the Hickory Burger from their menu.

IMO an order of O rings and a ginormous fountain drink is the best summertime snack.  If the Sonic chick is hot and on skates, I like to imagine Roller Girl from Boogie Nights is bringing my order.

i've heard people say they have good icecream.
Isn't special, really.  Reminds me of baskin robbins. Very "airy" product, with lots of sugar.  Not as good as say, coldstone.

dood, coldstone sucks.

Might want to look into "Snapp's"...

Once upon a time, Burger King sold very delicious “poppers”, which were cheddar and jalapeƱo bits mixed together, coated and fried. They were very delicious, and very cheap - four for one dollar. But then, for reasons unbeknownst to me, Burger King stopped carrying them. That was close to five years ago. Since then I have been on a rather elusive hunt for a replacement popper. I found very tasty ones at stores and restaurants, but they all consisted of a fry coating too thick, and a halved jalapeƱo, rather than the diced bits I remembered from Burger King.

Snapps Cheddar & Mild Jalapeno Pepper Bites Then I stumbled across Snapp’s cheddar and mile jalapeƱo pepper bites. Not only was I lured by the great price - one dollar for a box of eight, but by the picture, which clearly showed diced bits of a jalapeƱo, rather than an intact halved one.

Five weeks and four boxes of cheddar and mild jalapeƱo pepper bites later, and I can safely say that I’m hooked. They’re cheap. They’re delicious!

Guys- did the snapps thing today and they were great. $1.25 at walmart and you get eight of them. i slightly overcooked though and a lot of the filling leaked out. totally did not matter though. still great. thumbs up and repped to the op.

I don't know of any other drive up fast food joints, therefore there is no competition for sonic.  Wrap your mind around that.

Living in Oklahoma (Home of Braums AND Sonic, f*ckers) is great.

Braums has the best ice cream anywhere, not even close.  

Steak sandwich?  Zomg.

Red dirt, red water, red trees, red uniforms............red......... :barf:

I think that's where I messed up. I got the medium (and it was amaretto, which was like absurdly rich). Then I insisted upon finishing the whole thing since I paid for it  :banghead:

Excellent report.  prolly loaded with trans fat and other delicious stuff.  Will have to strategically place in the cart while mrs. dave is looking at broccoli or some other horrible tasting food.

I can now verify, through the advice of Rick Daris, that Snapp's cheddr bites are absolutely delicious and the closets taste to the late BK poppers.

Sheridans is custard - but good.  Not as good as G's thou. 

Coldstone is very good ice cream - less air in its product than any others.

The hotdogs at Freddy's Frozen Custard are good. Very ballparkish. Especially if you eat them outside.

Their frozen custard? yeah. not really going to have that anytime soon.
