MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Since we only had a few hours to explore Myrtle Beach, we wound up choosing fast food for lunch. Having never been to a SONIC, we figured we would give yet another regional fast food chain a try. I hadn’t planned on making visiting fast food places a theme, but after trips to White Castle and In-And-Out Burger, I have to admit it is fun, if not good for me.
We pulled into the SONIC lot and I ordered directly from the car. Despite never having car service before, we elected to sit at one of the picnic tables. Yes, we realized this could be controversial, but after spending 1/3 of the previous day in the car, dining al fresco was a welcome option. Just a few minutes after sitting down, a server arrived with a tray of food. I ordered the SuperSONIC® Cheeseburger with ketchup, fries and a Sprite, and Erica ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger TOASTER® Sandwich with fries and a Coke. I was pleased, that was a tasty burger. Erica enjoyed her sandwich too. The fries were okay. 
Despite being satisfied, I also ordered a Coney, a foot long hot dog, with chili (hey, today’s National Chili Day), cheese, mustard and onions. That was okay, but nothing special, I only ate about half of it. If/when I go again, I’ll skip it and get a SuperSONIC®.
I’ll put SONIC behind In-And-Out Burger, but well ahead of White Castle.
