Sonics about ready to open on Rt 22 in Green Brook, NJ
 
I caught this article in the news. This is good news.

That's gonna be good for summer time. The one in Franklin is still a little bit of a drive from my area. This is like 5 minutes away.

Whiplash Performance 02-06-2010 09:50 PM

Yes, it is. It's 5 minutes away from where I live.

Anti_Rice_Guy 02-06-2010 09:59 PM

That's awesome! I was wondering what happened to the news of it

You gonna come down here for a change?

Anti_Rice_Guy 02-06-2010 10:46 PM

I might. Not a regular thing but perhaps. I mean we all know my area is better

edpontiac91 02-07-2010 10:35 AM

Plus , like the commercial says, if you take your girlfriend there, she "MUST BE A CHEAP DATE"! :mrgreen:

I didn't realize how many of you were from Somerset, Middlesex, or Hunterdon county. I guess this would be the closest location, except for some who live in southern Middlesex and southern Somerset county. I look forward to seeing some f-bodies there from this website when it opens. I feel like I haven't seen anyone from this website in-person for a while now. Then again, it is freezing out and lots of snow.

It'll be a good summer for car enthusiasts. With many weekly car shows in our areas like Somerville on Friday nights, Manville on Thursday nights, and Flemington on Friday nights, car owners will have a place to go afterwards. I think even Somerset/Franklin has car shows where the old Rutgers theater used to be where the Stop'n'Shop is now. And the Colorado Cafe and the Perkins parking lot in Green Brook used to have car shows as well.

NJ Torque 02-07-2010 12:31 PM

Yeah, theyres a few of us... Just nothing for any of us to do... Or none of the cars are all running at the same time.

redbanditZ28 02-08-2010 12:26 AM

There's this good burger joint by my house called 25 Burgers. It's right in Bound Brook across the street from ShopRite on Rt 28 near 287. Not much parking though. But a good place for car meets and they have good food.

I wish they'd open a Chic-fil-a in Somerset County some day. The closest ones are in Woodbridge and Menlo Park in the malls. This past summer, they made the best Peach milk shakes like Roy Rogers used to make. Why are the best things always limited time only?

Well, I hope to see you guys and your f-bodies at Sonics this summer on rt 22. I'll be there.

the grease trucks meets were always fun that i went to, its only a few minutes from there. ive never heard of them in that stop and shop parking lot but if they are all local kids i bet its all rice.

The problem I always had with the Grease trucks parking lot was that my car always bottomed out really bad when I would enter and leave the lot, and it seems like they made that concrete divider at the entrance/exit even tougher to maneuver around. But it is a good meeting spot nonetheless.

The funny thing about the Stop'n'Shop parking lot is that is was vintage cars. The imports meet in the Dunkin Donuts and Taco Bell parkings lots across the street further down. I am not sure what days or if they even do shows there anymore, but I do remember a some vintage American cars meeting at Stop'n'Shop a few years back. The Colorado Cafe also had a meet.

Let do a Sonic meet on Tuesday, March 2nd? That way hopefully the crowd there would die down some so we could all park together.

25 Burgers is great. I haven't had a bad one yet. Like you said, it would be a great place to meet, if the parking wasn't afwul. I think they have only a dozen spots or so.

I'd be for that but I'd have to check my availability closer to that date before I commit, but I hope others commit to that. I also hope there isn't a lot of snow at that point either.

Yeah, I am glad finally a worthy place has opened in that spot. For as dumpy as Bound Brook is getting, I am happy to see something good come into town. It's also at such a busy intersection too which doesn't help. But Sonics could be good.

i love 25 burgers. LETS GO! I work in Somerset. Sonic is kind of recently nostalgic for me, I used to drive to the 2.5 hours to delaware and PA before the one in south jersey opened. Then drove the 2 hours there. Now the 40 minutes to Franklin. The one in green brook is gonna be an easy 15 minute straight shot down 22, I cant wait.

25 Burgers, the last time I had them I got extremely sick. But the other times it was kickass.

Blackbirdws6 02-14-2010 11:11 AM

Sweet. Another spot to go cruise to and I'm only a few minutes away.

andy78TA 02-20-2010 10:09 AM

15 minutes from me. Now I just need to get the car back together...

Whiplash Performance 02-20-2010 11:28 AM

It doesnt look like its going to open Monday. THey didnt pave the parking lot yet.

andy78TA 02-21-2010 09:44 PM

I hope they open up by the time I have spring break in a couple weeks. Once I get the car running that is one of the first places I want to take a ride to. I have never been to a sonic before hah

Whiplash Performance 02-22-2010 12:34 PM

Yeah they still aren't open yet. I bet they are waiting for the snow to melt.

redbanditZ28 02-23-2010 09:21 AM

This snow has got to go already. It's getting in the way of things. Well, so much for that news article. With any luck, they'll open next week when the weather is supposed to be better and warmer. At least we are getting in the low 40s nowadays. We have high 30s I think tomorrow and Thursday, but then it's supposed to be in the 40s after. It was so nice last night, my girlfriend and I went walking outside. And we're both not winter cold weather people.

I just wish they'd open a Chic-fil-A closer to Bridgewater. I am not a big fast food person, but Chic-Fil-A and sonics are my fast food joints of choice. I could really go for one of their tasty chicken sandwiches right now. Chic-fil-a made the best Peach Milkshakes last summer just like Roy Rogers used to make. I miss Roy Rogers too.
