Been to the one in Billings, it's kind of cool with the outdoor seating and carhops on roller skates, but the food is no better than average, probably won't hit it again. People like it though, they're usually backed up in the drive-thru 10 deep every time I've driven by it. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 http://www.grandfork...icle/id/255714/ And people will be so happy. Sonics are grosser than hell. Now In N Out would be a different matter. Sonic is not the best, but their shakes are good, and it is a cool concept...in the summer. Very basic food. Quote
zonadub Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 tough to deliver car window food in a blizzard. even tougher to make a profit selling it. Quote
Smoggy Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 had it a couple times and never found an item that was great. everything is so...bland. Quote
ScottM Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Cool. If GF ever gets a Hooters, it will be a true "destination spot". 2 Quote

I have one a mile down the street and it is never busy. Now as for In N Out they always have a huge line. They have people out taking orders in the lines. In N Outs are always busy whenever you see one. Quote

Pretty much anytime except the middle of the afternoon, but it's fairly new so the novelty probably hasn't wore off yet for most people. Never been to an In N Out, where are they mostly located?

MafiaMan Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Groan...I thought you meant the Seattle Sonics were officially on their way home... Quote
yababy8 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 There is a Sonic right down the street from my house. It is about as inspiring as a Wendy's. Frozen prefabed fast food, hardly worth excitement. Threads should be started when somebody opens a home cooking establishment serving real food, something of quality and effort like the old days not corporate junk. I'm just saying.. Quote
jimdahl Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Never been to an In N Out, where are they mostly located? California. Though a few states around there, too. e.g. Vegas, Arizona. They were pretty much the first on the "fresh ingredients" burger craze, you can watch them julienne the potatoes, etc... But, they reasonably steadfastly refused to expand outside the region until Shake Shack and Five Guys started expanding. It's good enough that I used to try to stop in each time I was in the region, but unlike some comments above I've certainly never felt like I had to wait in a line longer than the average McDonalds. Never eaten at a Sonic, though the idea of an old fashioned-style drive through with roller skating carhops seems pretty awesome to me, as long as the food's tolerable. I remember going to the A&W in GF as a kid and getting the big frosty mugs. What a treat. Quote

Never been to an In N Out, where are they mostly located? Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and Texas. For fast food burgers they are the best. The Double Double is the burger they are famous for. http://www.in-n-out.com/ Quote
cberkas Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Been to the one in Billings, it's kind of cool with the outdoor seating and carhops on roller skates, but the food is no better than average, probably won't hit it again. People like it though, they're usually backed up in the drive-thru 10 deep every time I've driven by it. They finally put one there? I knew about the one in Great Falls I'm sure there will be one here in Bozeman soon. The only thing I'd go there for is the drinks. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 In n Out>Steak n Shake>Five Guys>Sonic. Still hard pressed to beat the Big Boy in Bismarck though. Quote
gfhockey Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 5 guys cajon fries are bes tin town but the absolute best was grand junction Quote
Fetch Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I ate at the one in the twin cities & liked it. - wish we could get a Famous Daves old Space Aliens would work Quote
Cratter Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I'm surprised no ones mentioned Smashburger. They make a dang good burger too. Probably more likely to see that in the Grand Cities before Sonic ever opens. Quote
jodcon Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Or Krolls I like Krolls, can't beat their knoephla soup and chocolate shakes...damn. Quote

The only thing I'd go there for is the drinks. Been there about a year I suppose, in the Heights. I'm surprised Bozeman hasn't got a Red Robin yet, the ones in Billings and Missoula are always busy, they have a bigger menu than Fuddruckers and about the same amount of 'specialty burgers' for lack of a better word, pretty decent food.

I've always liked Red Robin. That would be a better addition to the Grand Forks market than some of the other options. Quote
mg2009 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 5 guys cajon fries are bes tin town but the absolute best was grand junction I recommend you try the cay's fries Quote
jodcon Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I've always liked Red Robin. That would be a better addition to the Grand Forks market than some of the other options. I think they would do well in GF, the size of menu and food quality of them over Sonic is tremendous. Quote
Godsmack Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Cool. If GF ever gets a Hooters, it will be a true "destination spot". Even better, a Twin Peaks! If any of you are planning on going to Omaha next weekend, be sure to hit, you won't regret it! Quote
brianvf Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I am a fan of Red Robin, Five Guys, and In-N-Out. Never been a huge fan of Sonic though. There's an In-N-Out right next to my shop that we frequent at lunch quite a bit. Great burgers. Although the cajun fries at Five Guys are killer! Quote
