(by the way, I live in Tennessee and we have one on every corner!) I'm sorry to disagree with others but they were awesome! Here they have a cinnamon caramel sauce to dip them in but the don't need anything. They freeze the cheesecake squares so they are not liquidy. One of mine was still a little chilled in the center. The combination of the fried shell with the taste of the cheesecake itself is really good....but that's just my opinion! Now the mac n cheese bites? Huh uh, the picture on the sign makes me lose my appetite so I've not and probably won't try them! I love cheesecake of any kind so I had to try these things from Sonic.

I personally haven't been brave enough to try their Mac n' Cheese Bites, but I've heard from at least 10 people that they're great. We have tons of Sonics in Texas.

Pretty great name, right? Anyways, friend Helena had raved about Mac n' Cheese bites before our trip. They were incredible. I think I ate three orders of them, plus two beef burgers. A month later, I make a trip to Scotty's, a great truck stop on I-87 in upstate NY. They suddenly feature Mac n' Cheese bites, which are tasty, but lack the true balance and bliss of the Beef Burger bites. You claimed that the base of the bites is amporphous, as the breading and noodle fight for control. However, I contend that the balance is possible as long as the bite is not over-fried. It can be done!!! Eick, about two years ago I traveled to North Carolina, where I ate at an establishment calling themselves “Beef Burger.” Pretty great name, right?

I'm hoping at some point I will actually cross paths with a Sonic, but until then I'll have to rely on readers first hand reports.

The cheesecake bites are about what you would expect. The breading and outer shell is pretty thick and crunchy, and heavily fried. The interior, due to the aforementioned deep frying, is gooey and somewhat liquidy. I shudder to think how they constituted the cheesecake filling so that it didn't totally liquify when submerged in hot oil. Overall, they were not that bad, a little bland. Not terrible, but not something I'd really make it a point to order again. This was my third time at Sonic. Their breakfast is really good, and they have excellent drinks. I had a burger this time, and it was good. Sort of like Wendy's, but not totally up to that level. They have an oddly limited selection of burgers, but they are good.
