Sonic: Way Too Orange

    Last week my appointment, of the medical ilk of course, brought me to the area of the new Sonic establishment.  Since pretty much everyone I know has been to a Sonic at least once, and I had not, I decided to order takeout lunch for two.  I don't get to drive that much anymore, so I'm probably more apprehensive than is called for, but as I pulled into the only available parking spot, which overlooked Hoosick Street, I had the thought that it was a very steep bank and the road looked a long way down: one certainly wouldn't want to overshoot the parking area.  Yes, I know the main feature of Sonic is the drive-through , but I wanted to go in, look at the menu at leisure, and survey the place to see if it could be a possible spot for lunch, not that any date is in the near future.
   The weather was cold and chilly, but the waitress, who evidently doubles as hostess, was very warm and friendly, greeting each customer as they approached, even as she was waiting on another.  Unusual, but she was doing it.
   The food offerings were posted all over the place.  Some of the meals seemed slightly high in price, but there were individual selections as well.  When it was my turn to order, I forgot about the pricing and just ordered 2 Junior Cheeseburgers to go. The total price was under $4.00. And the burgers came with real lettuce and tomatoes. A bargain, I'd say.
  While I waited for the order, not too long, but not short either, I looked around the interior.  One open space but with several semi-closed off areas, with a television screen in each area, where several families and a few individuals were eating their meals
   I wasn't particularly hungry yet, and I could smell the smoke of cooking food, but it didn't enhance my appetite.  The walls were orange, reminiscent of Popeye's, just a block or so away.  That's too strong a color for an eating environment, it seems to me.
    When I got home, I needed to heat the food, so I slid one of the burgers on to the other, threw the bun away, and served the patty-plus to Dave.  He said it was good.  So I still am not qualified to critique the food, but I probably won't choose Sonic on Hoosick for a lunch date should the occasion ever arise.
