Are you fucking kidding me? \u00a0Two pieces of shitty wonderbread style white bread and a fucking slice of American cheese. \u00a0Butter both sides, toss on flat top. \u00a0$2 for a grilled cheese. \u00a0If I was driving I would have found a grocery store or something, because I hate shelling out hard earned cash for overpriced bread and cheese. \u00a0The grilled cheese was completely fucking smashed, the banana was fresh though. \u00a0Unfortunately I had no idea that a Lime Limeade was so ridiculously sweet\/sour, not bad at all if you let the ice melt a little bit. \u00a0Over priced, shitty food. \u00a0I can&#8217;t comment on their burgers, but good god what a waste of $4.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately my phone was out of batteries at that point, so I have to crib this picture from the internet. \u00a0The grilled cheese looks decently similar, except mine was completely smashed&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Food &#8211; [rating:.5] Edible. \u00a0I&#8217;d avoid eating there again at all costs.<br \/>\nDecor &#8211; [rating:2.5] Drive up fast food, not pretty.. but not bad either.<br \/>\nService &#8211; [rating:2.5] Not bad service, not good service. \u00a0Food was brought out in under 15 minutes. \u00a0Not particularly friendly, nor unfriendly.<\/p>\n<p>Total &#8211; \u00a0[rating:1.83] Overall under 2 stars. \u00a0Undoubtedly their burgers would be better, but I prefer a good 1\/2 pounder from a little hole in the wall type place.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"Lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sonic_grilledcheese.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-108\" title=\"sonic_grilledcheese\" src=\"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sonic_grilledcheese.jpg\" alt=\"sonic_grilledcheese\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sonic_grilledcheese.jpg 500w, https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sonic_grilledcheese-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any sonic.. anywhere Most expensive, subpar grilled cheese I&#8217;ve ever had. \u00a0The banana was excellent [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[129,25,21,197,172,24,32,164,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-americana","category-awful","category-danreview","category-fast-food","category-kentucky","category-mediocre","category-over-priced","category-restaurants","category-vegetarian"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=104"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":659,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104\/revisions\/659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
