We did like that these came with a pleasant marinara sauce for dipping.

And at $1.89, they were also a very budget-friendly option.

Again, we were hoping for the freshness of a fun cheese pull, but didnt get that experience.

White Castle

The mozzarella sticks at White Castle were a pleasant surprise in this taste test.

Surprisingly, at $3.09 per order, this side dish cost more than the sliders at White Castle.

Before even taking the first bite, we liked that these curds arrived in a variety of hand-cut shapes.

At a place like Culvers, we know that these werent pre-formed piecesthey were made fresh.

There was a nice squeak and a pleasant crunch.

One downside was that these cheese curds didnt come with any dipping sauce options.

Sonic

Sonic offered the best mozzarella sticks we tried on this journey.

These tasted like they came from a sit down restaurant rather than a drive-in.

Like their famousonion rings, we will definitely be ordering these over and over again anytime we visit Sonic!
