A Sonic drive-in listed in our guidebook? Really? Really. We've driven into more than our share of Sonic car stalls in our day. (Diane used to hang out at Sonic as a teenager in Houston, because that's what you did then. It's sad but there it is. The point is, she's been a Sonic fan from way back.) If you're going to debase yourself with fast food, Sonic's a satisfying vehicle for your downfall. Its extensive menu is well executed, and you can find many items for around a buck, including an excellent (and usually generous) vanilla ice cream cone for $1. There's even Frito chili pie (be sure to ask for onions). And don't get us started on the shakes, which are half price after 8 p.m. as part of Summer of Shakes, a onetime promotion that seems to now be a permanent thing. Yet for two reasons, this particular location strikes us as the Best Sonic in the World. The first is the staff: they're fantastic: cheerful, prompt and attentive. Whoever trains this staff should head straight to Sonic HQ and train all the franchise managers on how to build an awesome staff. Second -- and this is big -- they always seem to have the best soft-serve ice cream. Maybe they clean the soft-serve machines (which is key to getting a creamier, less icy product) more often than other locations. We have no idea. We just know this is the place. (San Martian tip: Heading to the river? This Sonic sells bags of ice.)
