[@mydachshundlife]

Speaking as a former Sonic carhop (my first job), the cherry limeades have a stronger flavor if you put your finger over the lid and shake it a bit-the cherry flavor tends to be towards the bottom, so if you shake it, it redistributes.

[@rgractor]

As an OG Sonic lover from my youth who drank waaaayyy too many Cherry Limeades, this is the way. It’d be cool if they could get tips like this in advance.

[@philstone3859]

If you’re out at Canyon Lake, you need to get out on the water! Find someone friendly with a boat and they’ll take you out! I used to water ski every weekend , during the summer out there! You HAVE to get out on the lake, you’re RIGHT There! It’s great!

[@chadlumpkin2375]

That center lane with arrows going each way are lovingly referred to as suicide lanes in Texas. It is a turning lane for both directions. The bread is soft because the whole dog (bread and all) is placed in a steamer for several seconds before being delivered. Their onion rings are battered with an ice cream base!

[@geegs120]

Wanted to mention those "suicide lanes" you just want to get in and turn from there = you don't want to travel within them too far. Some people travel in them too far and its dangerous.

[@marlasmitherman799]

Sonic is my place!!! Frozen limeade with cranberry is the bomb!

[@quixote6942]

WHEN IN DOUBT: Open the Limeade up... You'll have lime slices in it, but you'll also have either Cherries, Strawberries or whatever Flavor you chose in it.

[@wordkyle]

1) As a dad myself, it's nice to see Alana so eager to share her food. Watching kids with good manners is a pleasure. 2) Sonic's food is solid, though probably not the best in any one category. Quality of food and service can vary from store to store. But you don't even have to get out of your car! 3) The tater tot may be western civilization's greatest invention. 4) Do you guys have something against catsup? I've watched you eat fast food in several videos, and you always dip your fried potatoes in some other sauce.

[@toodlescae]

If you ever go to Sonic again their onion rings are a must. I used to work there and I don't think anyone else makes them like Sonic does.

[@kencramer1697]

Sonic was founded right here in Oklahoma! I think the quality was slightly better before they were bought out by a parent company but they're still one of my favorite places for a quick bite. The fried pickles are only on the menu a couple of times a year but until the late '80's they had a permanent spot on the menu as Pickle-O's (round pickle chips instead of spears). Glad you enjoyed it!

Of all the fast-food joints in the US, I feel like Sonic is the most hit or miss. Sometimes you'll get super freshly made very well-made food. And other times you'll get crap old food that tastes like it was in a time capsule from 1982.

This is why I do cheddar peppers during happy hour. Most people are there for the drinks. The food is ALWAYS fresh at that time.

Chili cheese tots are super underrated, one of my favs growing up. Love the nostalgia y'all are bringing me through on your channel. Most Brits, or foreigners, doing these types of channels aren't reviewing such places. I used to go here with the boys, or after a baseball game when I played in junior high, with my mom and sister. Great memories. Two great drinks and my go toos, cherry limeade, and the lemon berry slush if they still have it. Oh, and jalapeño cheddar poppers and mozzarella cheese sticks with their marinara and ranch dipping sauces. If y'all haven't had fried mushhrooms with ranch, try that too, and even better fried pickles in some of our sitdown restaurants. 🔥

[@wordygirlandco]

👶Baby H should have her own segment for best fries. ❤I love Sonic because it is basic food done well most of the time. I really just go for happy hour if I am honest. The fruit slushes....lemon and cranberry are my faves. I also will stop by for a bag of ice when we have a party. SO HAPPY y'all enjoyed your trip🇺🇲

[@Big_Tex]

There are still plenty of Sonics where carhops wear skates. Though depends which one, I last saw that a few years ago.

[@Do0msday]

Sonic isn't perfect and isn't exactly gourmet or anything like that, but in terms of cheap/affordable/fast food it's terrific in my book. There's a really good variety so you can always find something you're in the mood for and the drinks are great. Like any fast food place it does depend on the workers (some stores are better than others), but as a whole they're the type of place that punches up. The food, variety, and prices are much better than you would expect for what you pay and that's a great thing. I would take Sonics over McDonalds any day of the week.

Sonic can be hit and miss. It depends on who’s working like any other kitchen, it’s only as good as the people working there. It used to be higher quality years ago, but now it’s just cheap, I need to eat something now, type food. That’s how I feel about it. Now, I know they have a very popular, customizable, drink selection that you can’t get anywhere else, so they have that going for them.

[@LoriMcChesney-o5v]

Hi guys. My name is Lori . We have Sonic practically almost every where in Texas. My favorite items on the menu are the cheeseburger with no onions and either French fries or tator tots and the steak sandwich is good too. I also recommend trying the ice cream there is so good and you can get it in a cone or a dish and they have really good milkshakes too. They also have a nice kiddie meal for children and you get a choice and it comes with a prize in it . I’d make sure that you have the one that takes your order to repeat it before you get it so won’t have anything missing from it .

[@yugioht42]

Dill is a type of herb. It’s used in making pickle brine. It’s also used as a herb in lamb. It’s not really that strong of a taste. It’s also known as dillweed. They used it like a pun in that sign. By itself in a hot pot it’s an interesting addition as flavors are way different when fully cooked.

Hola! 😊 While you guys are a few minutes from San Antonio you should try the Carne guisada tacos, chorizo and eggs, gorditas, and barbacoa tacos. I highly recommend going to Lockhart or Luling, Texas, which is not far, for sausage. Try Black's or Chisholm trail. Gonzales, Texas meat market is good too. Oh and San Antonio is the home of the puffy taco.

[@Zach-ku6eu]

*Liked the Fries Intro!* You can make breaded veg slice of any sort with a simple egg white milk (or beer👍) and flour mix. Salt pepper garlic cayenne whatever, fry in a shallow pan of normal veg cooking oil. Takes less than ten minutes overall. I've done mushrooms, onions, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, cucumber, pickles, cheese stuffed jalapenos, (or basic jar slices of all the above for speed and cost). *See Basic Beer Batter Bachelor Recipes*

I think the sign "afternoon dill light" might be a pickle-related pun (maybe in reference to their pickle-fries?). Also, "afternoon dill light" sounds similar to "afternoon delight", which would be a delight one would experience during the afternoon. That's my best guess. (Sorry for not being able to give you a more definitive answer.)

[@randykillman6475]

The tang in the ranch is often buttermilk.

[@Fettman89]

Here's a little trick I use to get fresh fries, when you order them, tell them no salt on the fries, every fast food place salts their fries right out of the fryer, so they'll have to cook a fresh batch to be saltless, then tell them to put salt packets in the bag so you can salt them yourself. Also if you ever get out to California, you guys have to go to a fast food place called Weinerschnitzel, it's a hot dog/chili dog chain, I recommend an all beef chili cheese dog and a chili cheese fry.

[@monicapdx]

I fear Mr. H has succumbed to the driving munchies. When you drive long distances, you eat more than you think you will, and he's definitely taking bigger bites! Get two of whatever Mrs. H wants to try most, then Mr. H can try the extra one. 😄 You guys have to make your own ranch dressing at home. It's easy, and there are tons of recipes online. I don't know if you can find buttermilk in England - an essential ingredient - but we have cans of dried buttermilk over here. Someone could mail you one. And for the life of me, I can't remember if you've tried onion rings dipped in ranch, but if you haven't, you MUST! Super delicious. Ditto jojos, as we call battered, seasoned, fried potato wedges here in the Pacific NW. They'd be similar to wedge-shaped chips, only more seasoned. They're even better than seasoned fries. A steak with onion rings, jojos, and ranch on the side is a perfect combo.
