- RCRyan C6 days ago5.0First time at a Sonic. Food was fast, fresh and really exceeded expectations
- SGSamuel J. GuerraDec 20, 20255.0Great fast food for a cheap price
- GMGrayum M.Dec 10, 20252.0Ordered 3 soft drinks from a stall. 20 minutes later we had still not received the drinks so I call back in. 5 additional minutes elapse before we get 3 soft drinks, watching cars who arrived mere minutes ago get their orders and leave. Received the drinks and the Rootbeer had no syrup. You'd think they wouldn't serve a root beer that wasn't brown.. like root beer. Called in, asked for a new one, the carhop was very apologetic but even the new one was the exact same. No root beer syrup in the drink. Just a milky looking carbonated water. We pull around to the drivethrough to spare the car hop another trip, the employee that answered the machine insisted there was no such thing as rootbeer syrup and what we were served was a totally normal root beer. Again, the DRINK WASN'T BROWN. Swapped it for a Sprite instead and was handed the drink by someone with a poopy attitude. We don't expect much when going to Sonic but a 30 minute ordeal FOR THREE SODAS IS RIDICULOUS. No exaggeration. Ordered 3:17, didn't leave until 3:48.

- JPJoe PellegrinoNov 16, 20252.0I should have went with my gut and canceled after the smell of the restaurant hit my car through the drive through window…. Smelled like the dumpster was behind the cash register. The food made a similar impression. Not good. I’d rather have the $26.39 back in my account. Chicken bites for my son and double bacon sonic burger for me. You can tell the fires were fired in old oil. Asked for sweet tea and got unsweetened. The mints were 100% the best part of the meal.
