Preamble:  So I don't like to give out 5 starts often and I want to make sure that everyone knows that this 5 stars is in relation to other food in this category.  So Good Times Burger Drive Thru does not equal Mateo.

While normally trying to avoid the giant corporate fast food system, once in a while you need to eat in the car.  If you gotta do it - do it at Good Times.  

With food, formulas many times lead to mediocrity or worse.  However with Good Times it seems different.  They have genuinely thought through the drive though experience and how to make the customer happy.  For example:

Coleman Beef - A really great natural product raised humanly and processed correctly.  all GT burgers are Coleman.

Real lemonade - They will substitute a lemonade rather than the usual Pepsi-co drink for a little additional cost.  The main thing is they sub without any problem.  Flexibility is part of the formula.

Wheat buns - OK so your not exactly gonna solve your fiber problem with one of these guys but they are tasty and certainly have more substance than the white air foam at McD or BK.

Leaf lettuce and ripe tomatoes- My sandwich came with a really nice clean bunch of leaf lettuce rather than the usual head lettuce and a good ripe slice of tomato.

Two sided drive through - the line moved quickly.

Got the order right - I think the most common problem with drive thru's is this scenario: I am in the damn drive thru because I'm in a hurry, finally place order after having to listen to some automated speech trying to sell me something I don't want.  Place order, get order, pull out of lane and discover the order is wrong.  What to do? Get back in line? Find a place to park and walk in? Or, drive off and swear that you'll never do this again.  Anyway GT always repeats my order back and gets it right on delivery.

Wide bags - Rather than the usual skinny vertical bag with everything stacked on top of each other GT uses a nice wide shallow bag that allows you to keep your car a little bit clean and it's functional.

Lot's of little details that add up to about as good of a car eating experience as you can get.
