    Chili cheese hot dog

    Much better this time with the chili cheese hot dog. Not messy & the fork wasn't on top of the food. And the Free Carmel ice coffee came out fresh not like last time (ice coffee had no ice, whip cream melted like it was sitting for a while). Taste was delicious. But the Carmel croissant was a bit disappointing. For $2, you only got 4 itty bitty balls. See picture...

    SuperSONIC Breakfast Burrito (ordered without meat)
    Christina B.

    Don't mind if I do do eat curbside the second it warms up even a little. This visit, I had the Supersonic breakfast burrito. It's a regular breakfast burrito with eggs and cheese but they add in tater tots, jalapeños, diced onions and tomatoes. It normally comes with bacon or sausage but I omitted the meat. This was my first time trying breakfast at Sonic and I think I prefer it to the lunch items. It was a hefty burrito. The eggs were good and I liked the freshness from the tomatoes and onions. There was an option to add nacho cheese for like 60 cents which I think I would definitely do next time. I also had a side of ched'r' peppers. They were pretty good but not as fresh-tasting as the burrito. I liked the iced coffee but it was on the sweeter side. The "good" ice bumped it up a notch. I like the option to order in the app, plus they have lots of offers and rewards. They had $1.99 cheeseburgers if you order in the app. Without the coupons, they are $4-$6 for just the cheeseburger. I'm not sure it's worth it. Plus I think we got a free fries as well. It's a hassle to download the app when you can just order at the booth but it's worth it for the savings. The food came out super quick and everything was correct. We didn't interact with the staff too much since we ordered through the app but they were friendly enough. I definitely go for the ambiance and drinks more than the food but I was pleasantly surprised with the breakfast burrito this time and I'll order it again.

    True story: I have a friend who became convinced that owning a Sonic was the secret to his happiness. So, he tried to do a GoFundMe to raise the franchise fee that would open the door to his dream. It didn't work (unsurprisingly). However, it did make me curious about this fast-food chain with which I had no experience. So, one day while I was at nearby Franciscan I noticed the Sonic down here on Emerson and decided that I would stop. It took me several times to finally make this happen, yesterday being that time, and I can now write about the experience. First off, um, what's the big deal? It's fast food. It's obviously fast food. It's NOTHING like those retro experiences of carhops on roller skates or 50's drive-in experiences like still exist at Mel's Drive-In or The Suds or to a lesser degree Steer-In. You either have a drive-thru or you can pull-up to one of their drive-in spots which surround the building. Since I wanted the true Sonic experience, I pulled into a drive-in spot. There's a button you push and you place your order. The order is then brought to you. There's a credit card machine where you order, but it didn't work. You can, of course, also pay with cash. The food is then brought to you and you can eat it right there. It's kind of a weird feeling considering how close these drive-in spots are. However, it works. Sonic has a breakfast menu and their traditional lunch/dinner menu. I was there in the early evening hours and opted for a classic crispy chicken sandwich with tots. I made it a combo and made that combo a large with my usual unsweetened iced tea. The chicken sandwich was meh. It wasn't good. It wasn't bad. It was a functional chicken sandwich. I think part of it was presentation - it looked kind of pathetic. It tasted a little better than it looked. The tots? They are wrapped in this container designed to keep them warm. I found them undercooked and was disappointed with order size considering I'd upsized it. I would not order the tots again. The iced tea was fine. The cup size was generous and I like that they actually give you enough ice and that the styrofoam cup keeps that ice from easily melting. Sonic is known for its drink options and this was definitely the best part of the meal. There was certainly nothing craveworthy here, though it also wasn't really appalling. I'd go back, but I wouldn't rush back and it's certainly not an experience I'd go out of my way for. If I return, I'll likely try a burger and I'd switch to fries to see if it's a better option. The pricing is actually fairly reasonable, a definite plus these days. However, for those seeking a real drive-in experience I'd definitely try something more like Steer-In or Mel's Drive-In as they're more authentic about it all. Overall, this was a solid mid-range experience. I don't regret going, however, I won't be rushing back. The food was a solid, though unremarkable, fast food experience at a good price and if that's what I'm craving then I'd no doubt give it another chance if I'm in the area in the future. If I ever buy myself a franchise, however, I'll sure be working to give the experience more of the classic vibe and to hire folks who "get" what this experience could really be that would distinguish it from other fast food joints. In terms of accessibility, given the fact that much of this is a drive-in or drive-thru experience, it can easily be tailored toward one's individual needs. They do also note that they have accessible ordering drive-in spots and that you can request assistance if needed. So, that's a plus.

    I usually enjoy going to sonic they have the best slushees, but today I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was cold like it had been sitting out all day. I asked for another sandwich but they took so long to bring it out I had left. Not sure what happened Friday but the service was horrible

Second time was a scoop of Sitaphal and a double scoop of the Gulab Jamun. Thankful to have been able to taste since unfamiliar with many of the flavors. Grateful to expand our palates!

    My daughter and I had just had lunch at the steakhouse next door and her being an ice cream fiend,…read moreof course we had to see what this place was hittin' for. We walked in and there were no other customers inside. Two men who I assume worked there were behind the counter, one on the phone. The other seemed to be doing a task or something. Neither of them acknowledged us but I made eye contact with both at some point during the first 30-45 seconds of being there. We started looking at flavors and I tried again to get an acknowledgment by saying "hello". No response from either man but the one on the phone looked at me again. I started walking towards my daughter and a man came from the Indian restaurant next door and went behind the ice cream counter to serve us but he offered no greeting at all either. I said "hello" to him and got the driest "hello" back. At this point I was not interested in whatever they were offering and my daughter asked if we should leave to which I replied yes and that's just what we did. Bummer because they had some interesting looking and sounding flavors so we would've definitely tried a few. I've never been in an ice cream shop with a bad vibe-until now. Not sure what was going on but it felt very unwelcoming and as if they didn't want us there. We were the only people in there so it made no sense that we would be disregarded from only a couple feet away. I may give them another chance because maybe it was just a bad day and I misread the situation, but I won't be rushing back. Makes me wonder why they spelled quality with a K, if you catch my drift. Seriously, that's how it felt.

    I have been wanting to check out Aspen Creek Grill for awhile…read more Their 4 1/2 star status with almost 300 reviews on Yelp is certainly impressive. It was fairly busy when we went on a Saturday mid afternoon. We were seated quickly. The atmosphere and decor reminds me quite a bit of Cheddars. When we sat down, there was some kind of an annoying and audible hum coming from the ceiling. It would randomly go on and off. Our server told us that it had to do with their sound/speaker system. The place had a fairly high noise level anyway, along with the music that they were playing. Our server was very friendly and helpful in navigating the menu and answering questions. She went above and beyond being highly attentive in keeping up with all of her tables. The food was above par and very good, quality and quantity wise. We tried a few chicken entrees and they were great. The fried mushrooms were super good. I noticed somebody in the Yelp reviews compared them to Chili's. My opinion is that there is no comparison. I went to Chili's recently and I think ACG is far better. Our experience was very pleasant, and I would definitely go again.

    I've been to Aspen Creek Grill a handful of times now. The first time I went, I didn't love it and…read morethought it was just okay. I'm part of a lil local supper club, if you will, and I've continued to come to Aspen Creek with them. I still think it's just okay. It's sort of like someone put lipstick on an Applebee's. On Wednesday nights, they have a couple of $6 apps (with a two entree purchase) and that's a pretty fair deal. The Green Chili Grits are really tasty. Their fried mushrooms with that horseradish sauce is really good, too. They struggle to cook steaks well. Their other sides aren't exciting. Instead of being so excited by the sides that I struggle to choose, I struggle to choose because I really don't want any of them. I had the ribs once and they were cold inside near the bone. This was after a particularly disastrous evening when our ticket was lost and our meal was already discounted, so I didn't mention it. Otherwise, I would have. Their chicken tenders are not tenders. They're chicken strips, cut up slices of breast. I love chicken tenders. I don't love chicken strips. So, I expect menus to be noted accordingly. The servers are always really on top of things and that moves my rating from two stars to three.
