Earl Eats Sonic Carhop Classic with Grandboy #1 - A Review

Today I am headed to see a movie with my Grandboys - Avengers: Infinity War. My #1 grandboy needed a ride, so we stopped at Sonic® to try their new Carhop Classic.

I like Sonic® on the whole, especially their hot dogs. I used to treat my #1 grandson to their breakfast burritos when he needed a ride to school, and we weren't near my own kitchen, but today I wanted to get his review of the Carhop Classic, a combo meal with a double cheeseburger and tater tots for under three bucks!

As my image (left) shows, it didn't quite look like their advertisement, but I'm sure you'll agree, that never happens anywhere, so it doesn't surprise me that it is in an ad for a burger under $3...and we didn't try the signature slinger, although I will go back another day for that and post it here.
...but on with the review:

Not being a fan of tater tots, I will start there. They gave us everything advertised, but the tots spilled into the paper bag, but that was on us. They do offer FRY Sauce, which if you haven't ever had that, you have been deprived! Previously their "Carhop Classic" had onion rings, which was great (see my review from 2017 by clicking this link) There were more tots than time, so I saved the leftovers to make a great breakfast, (which I will post soon).

On to the star of the show, their quarter pound double cheeseburger. It was hot and the cheese (American) was perfectly melted, which rarely happens at fast food drive-throughs. My grandboy was disappointed that they put pickles on his and I learned that he doesn't mind pickles IF they are chopped. I like the crispy, thick chips that mine had. The patties were nice and flavorful although I think they (along with every fast food place) put way too much ketchup on the burgers. This may be the best deal on a double cheeseburger to be had.

Conclusion:
Go try this while it's here.
By the Numbers:
Food ⭐⭐ (nice and you get a bit more than what you pay for)
Service ⭐⭐⭐ (as good as it gets at a drive through although their carhops are great)
Price 💲 (good deal!)
Addendum:
I returned and tried their Signature Slinger and it was equally good. For balance I tried another location near me. Everything was equally good and I quite like the Signature Slinger. This location's only failing was not offering Fry Sauce or including ketchup for the Tots Either one is still a good deal.
