For those of you who have never left your respective hometowns you may be a bit in the dark about Sonic - I advise you to please please get in the car and drive south.
Sonic, a "fast food" chain, predominantly found in the south is the Ritz-Carlton of fast food. We're talking fresh smoothies, delicious juicy beef, and my personal favorite - tots!
Every time I would come back from Houston I would crave cherry lemonade and a sonic size order of tots.
The Ephrata Sonic totally lives up to my standards for what a Sonic should be (and I've been to several - I'm a self proclaimed expert here in the North...) Next one coming is in Lancaster at the Tanger outlets - how appropriate for me :)

i forgot i already reviewed sonic, and wrote another one - so here is the 06/27 review :)
Gawd. That feeling is absolutely priceless. Yes - that's right 90 miles roundtrip to Sonic and back. Worth it? Definitely!
If fast food were hotels - McDonalds would be Super 8, and Sonic would be the Ritz. In fact, I prefer not to refer to Sonic as fast food, rather I believe the term "quick cuisine" suits it better.
If you've never been to a Sonic - you're deprived. Go! Now!
If you have - this particular Sonic is better than the ones down south. Bigger, faster, and almost near me :) What's not to love?
For you first time Sonic go-ers, everything is amazing but be sure to try a limeaid (in your choice of flavors), some tots, a burger, a fajita, a slush...... o snap... just order the whole menu! -

This place is local to me and it is always hit or miss for me. The staff are always friendly but the food is either great or cold or just not good.

Having lived in Akron I had to pass Sonic every day on the way to work and on the way back.
----------
FOOD: One day I decided to stop and try some ice cream. It wasnt the best Ive ever had, but it wasnt the worst either. Not bad in fact. They do have an entire menu of things to eat like burgers, dogs, fries.. you know, fast food stuff.
DECOR: Its a colorful little place with stalls to pull your car in or a covered patio to sit at. No indoor seating to speak of, but they do have a drive thru.
SERVICE: Sonic works like this: you pull in to a stall and talk into a drive thru like menu. You can swipe a credit card or pay the girl who delivers the food on roller skates (thats right!).
----------
FINAL THOUGHTS: The only problem I have with sonic is how to get in to it. People consistantly ignore the no left turns sign on 272 and will sit in the middle of an extremely busy road oblivious to the people who have to drive on the shoulder to get around them and apparently oblivious to horns being blown at them.
Located near the intersection of 272 and 772.

It was early afternoon and I had a late breakfast so I was feeling like I needed a little nosh before heading home from the barrel project in Stevens PA near Reamstown. The sonic caught my eye as I just sat in construction traffic creeping. I have visited the Sonic on rt 30 previously on late night occasions when hungry, but was not particularly pleased. I figured I would give this Sonic a chance and ordered a bacon ranch grilled chicken sandwich combo from the drive thru.
I ordered tots and coke with my combo and when I pulled up was handed a bag of hot food and the Coke in a styrofoam cup within what seemed like seconds! The food was satisfying and better than I expected. The bacon was crisp and the chicken was not dry, but juicy and tasted good. The lettuce was pale and crunchy and the tots slightly salty but I enjoyed the food and would return - they have a nice variety of choices on the menu. I would probably try one of their coffee drinks next time. -

If you like Sonic, this one's great. Nice outdoor seating, friendly service - fairly quickly, and convenient on/off access from Rte. 222N & S.

I have tried the Akron Sonic numerous times now and each time I go I ask myself, why did I come here again? The food is nothing special and the quality I would rate as lower than McDonald's but the prices of the food is higher. They have some fruit slush drinks that are refreshing and maybe slightly healthier than a soda.And FYI, no free refills on drinks. I also used the restroom while I was there, and lets just say, it wasn't very clean. Never tried their ice cream, maybe thats what people find attractive. Certainly not high on my list to visit again

Oh how I wish there was a Sonic near me! Breakfast all day, the yummy tater tots...its wonderfulness goes on and on. Fortunately, on my travels I get to visit this Sonic a few times a year. With fast, friendly service you can't go wrong.
