This feature went
away for a while, but now... IT'S BACK! I tryout questionable food
items so that you don’t have to in… Steveats. (Note: Title
developed in about 10 seconds of brainstorming.)
Before I moved to
Texas, Sonic was really pushing its brunch burger. For $2.99, you got
an order of tots and the burger, which was topped with an egg, bacon
and cheese. And let me tell you – The burger was a delight!
An egg on a burger
is always a delicious decision, but many other places screw it up by
keeping all of the other fixings, like lettuce and tomato, on there.
The result is typically a slippery burger mess. But the Sonic burger
was surprisingly put-together, and it was great value, as far as fast
food burgers go. Because I've been such a slacker with this feature,
the burger debuted
in March 2019 and I'm only writing about it now, but my lethargy
means its probably returning soon!
Now that I've
recommended the burger to y'all, let me also share – On my last
trip to Sonic, well, they served me a moldy bun.
This was in
November, at the Cinco Ranch branch in Texas. I was looking for a
quick bite after a football game – one of the few they didn't offer
food at – and decided on Sonic, since my last experience with the
brunch burger was so positive. I got a standard burger, and a hot
dog.
The service was
slow, and on top of that, I got about halfway through my burger when
I saw that there was mold on it. GREAT. Obviously, I survived, but I
was grossed out. To make matters worse, I tried to get a refund for
it, and basically hit a dead end with Sonic's customer support. I
even had a picture of it, which I have not put on this entry, for
reader benefit.
Sooooo. I will
probably go to Sonic again at some point. Like, stuff happens. You
get a shipment of items late, you get an employee that doesn't care
or notice, and so on. Steve gets served a moldy bun. But, I'm
probably not going to go to THAT specific Sonic anytime soon, plus,
there are so many other options in Texas that I need to check out
that a return visit to Sonic isn't high on my list.
