There are also many other deserts that no other fastfood restaurant has. Even though they are known for their drinks, they offers burgers, hotdogs, breakfast burrittos (I recommend them), and interesting sides like caramel apple bites, cheesecake bites, and other things. It is setup like a drive-in restaurant like in the good ol' days. The one in Waretown, NJ gets super packed. I went there with friends 5 weekends ago and we had to wait about 10 mins for a parking spot to open where we could place our order. I met the owner by chance when I needed extra utensils and there were no waitresses on rollerskates around. Nice guy and nice kids that work there. I'd wish him luck with it all, but I don't think he needs it.

I got an email from a spokeswoman 2 months ago telling me that they are planning on building future locations in Somerset and Middlesex counties. They'd probably clean up really well down by the NJ shores.

Anyway, they are more prevalent down south and in the mid-far west. They do that with fastfood chains primarily because it is less expensive to open franchises where the land isn't as costly so the Sonics rep told me. That would explain why we are missing Jack-in-the-box restaurants.

I wish we also had more Chic-fil-A and Bahama Breeze restaurants in NJ too. Florida and California has all or most of the best fastfood eateries.

But we have White Castle...
