- MWMalakiah WhiteDec 30, 20251.0This Sonic needs serious improvement. My food came out cold and poorly prepared, the service was slow and unorganized, and the atmosphere didn’t feel welcoming at all. I expected better quality and consistency.
- JPJonathan ProvostDec 30, 20252.0Honestly not that impressed with this sonic. Food quality and service are both a little worse than okay but they are not terrible. Would just go here if you were picking up a quick slushie or soda but nothing else.

- KGKerri GibersonDec 14, 20251.0The last 6 years I've been in Dayton i have tried this Sonic periodically. Each time thinking oh my gosh how could they mess this up. Went tonight to get chili cheese dogs instead of burgers. A foot long and a 6 inch. I also ordered a large coke easy ice with vanilla. For starters, the drive thru window ordering station needs to be tore down and gotten rid of. They can never hear you. Pull straight to the window don't even waste your breath yelling cause it won't work for echoing reasons or whatever they say as an excuse. I ordered at the window per carhop's request. Ordered my food. I double checked that she got the easy ice in the coke. She confirmed yes. The coke has more than half a cup of ice. The 6 inch hot dog is either very very very overcooked or just very old. See the picture..gross. it is rare anyone here actually cares. I try every now and then just to see. This Sonic has given the worse service I have ever had at any sonic between multiple states. I'm not wasting my time calling to complain. I don't want free food. Dayton might be better just not having a Sonic period due to the bad name this location is giving the Sonic brand. I am.not exaggerating when I type that this is just an awful location. I hope someone actually important sees this but then again not sure what a difference it would make. Huffman is good, eagle drive is good... others are good. I love sonic. But this one. 🫤😶
- BSBilly “William” SargentNov 26, 20254.0Not one of the better sonics. The kids here just can't seem to get it done. Press the button and waited 6 minutes. Got a drink that tasted terrible, sent it back and got a terrible tasting replacement.
