Loading ...Sonic Boom
Posted by Foobooz on November 6th, 2009
Philadelphia is getting its first Sonic Drive-in on Monday, November 16th. We have never been to a Sonic and have been puzzled for years on why they insist on advertising nationally if they aren’t a national company. Twitter buzz has been decidedly mixed.
Foobooz readers, what do you think? Yay, or nay on Sonic Drive-in coming to Aramingo Avenue in Port Richmond.

Went to one in North Carolina once. Good shakes, everything else was decent.

I’ve been a huge Sonic fan for years. I used to make road trips to the closest location until it wasn’t a road trip at all w/ the Bensalem location.
If that opening was any indication – you’ll probably want to avoid this Sonic for at least 6 months because it will be a hot mess of traffic, confusion and an overwhelmed staff.

I’ll take those O-rings for sport!

I think it’s less expensive for them to advertise nationally then just in select markets. Plus it makes us all crave what we can’t have.

What’s there to be negative about? Are people in NE Philly worried that their favorite McDonald’s will have more competition?

Its just regular fast food. The drinks are tasty but not worth a hassle. Also, my biggest gripe is that there really isn’t anything vegetarian on the menu except for the side orders and the kids grilled cheese. Which I ordered in Louisiana once and hated.

Blows Mickey’s Burger King and Wendy’s away.
You can identify it’s burger meat as beef and it’s chicken as chicken.
By far the best fast food around.

I can’t wait for this.
First it was drives to Reading. They to Royersford. Then Bensalem. Now I only have to take a trip to Fast Food Corridor.
The Frito wraps are killer.

For fast food, the food was fine.
My question is why do so many people want to eat in their cars? Seems uncomfortable and messy.

Sonic’s food is terrible, but the drinks are good. Went to 2 different sonics to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. Wendys destroys them in the burger department.
