they just opened a sonic on rt 46east in nj near where I work. It doesnt matter what time I pass by, its packed like crazy. There are several people directing incoming traffic from 46 and and all the way around the drivethru. Then outside there are tables so you can eat, all of them packed, then in the back I think you can park you car and get food to your car (big overhead thingie). Anyway, I never seen a fast food place jammed like this. One of my friends went the other day and said the drive through was 50 minutes to get a wrap....thats just crazy. He said the food was alright, nothing spectacular. So whats the big deal?
is sonic any good?

I went to the new Sonic on Route 17 in Hasbrouck Heights last Friday, I'm not sure if you're referring to that one or another new Sonic (although I didn't know of any others in the area). Anyway, it's been very packed at all times aside from mornings, when its pretty empty. The location I'm talking about frequently has cops standing outside with "Lot Full" signs and they occasionally let one or two cars in at a time. After making a few U-turns on the highway I had my friend drop me at the light and just walked up to place my order. It took us about 40-45 minutes to place our order and get our food, but it was about 8-9pm on a Friday night so YMMV.
As far as the quality: My roommate had a burger and fries, which he claimed were "better than other fast food". They didn't look much different from Wendy's to me. Another friend and myself split some popcorn chicken (mediocre), chili cheese tator tots (not bad actually, but it seemed pretty small for the price), and some Cheddar Poppers (these were awesome but I don't think they are very economical either). They had a pretty large selection of shakes, but the one I ordered was not blended properly. Also, they accidentally gave us a red slushy (I would guess raspberry flavor) which was actually probably the best part of the meal.
I haven't gotten anything else there, but a friend of mine has gone for breakfast a few times since its usually empty and he said the breakfast burrito/wrap was great. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be any better than Wendy's or other fast food and it probably isn't, but they seem to have a good variety of things to choose from. Mainly its nice just to have something different, but no I would not necessarily suggest waiting an hour for fast food.

the sonic im referring to is the brand new one on 46east in little falls right next to lounge 46.
As of right now, I drive to the one in Bensalem PA from central NJ. I can't wait until the new one opens on Route 22 in Green Brook!

Sonic the restaurant is very good.
Sonic the hedgehog used to be good, but now has jumped the shark.
Sonic scrubber is a ripoff.
Sonic earz is a ripoff.
Sonic from mad max has jumped the shark(although audiophiles still advocate their superiority).

I actually used to only go there for the slushs but the food selection is large enough so that you can find SOMETHING you like.
Drinks and desserts are good, food is average, the service sucks. At least the closest one to me.

The one they opened near me is top notch. HAWT girls in mini skirts and roller skates wheel your food out to your car, the food has been great every single time I've been there (LOVE their banana cream pie shake), and the prices are really decent.
There's even free entertainment when one of the waitresses takes a spill and food flies everywhere
