For more than 60 years, SONIC, America’s Drive-In has built the ultimate dining experience with our drive-in restaurants and we proudly serve our guests in Nixa, MO. We did it by sticking to what made drive-ins so popular in the first place: made-to-order American classics, signature menu items, and speedy service from friendly Carhops full of fun and personality. Cruise on over to us at 605 W. Mt Vernon for the ultimate SONIC experience!
This review is entirely based on one single employee I've seen working during my regular stops at sonic. I'll get his name when he brings the food. This guy is ALWAYS working hard, fast, diligently, .. he's polite/respectful. I hope the "suits" that oversee this location actually acknowledge and reward him for his hard work and great attitude. His name is: Exander. (Exander, thank you)

Absolutely horrible. They screwed up my DoorDash order. The manager told her coworkers, "They're a bunch of idiots." Then she came back and said, "It's like their first day on Earth."

We ordered 2 pretzels both were burnt to the point of being crunchy. I told them about it and the manager said that's how they come and then refuse my refund request. I asked for them to cook it in a shorter time and her response was we can't do that. We will not be back to this location. It is ran by children who don't care what they send out. I would show a picture on here but it doesn't support that. I will be showing it on nixa neighborhood page.

Easily the slowest Sonic Ive ever been too, and Ive been to A LOT. Took 30 minutes past the estimate to get it out, including 10 minutes after it said it was on its way. Then they didn't include the ranch we request, waited another 20 minutes nothing. They refused to answer the button press completely. Absolutely the worst Sonic and they don't even do their jobs whatsoever.
Edit: Waited another 25 minutes to get the ranch they said they were going to bring out....nothing. Almost an entire hour completely wasted at this Sonic. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!

NEVER use carhop. I decided against the drive thru because I thought I’d be nice and make it easier for the workers. WRONG. I placed my order at 8:11 for one order of mozzarella sticks. That’s it. I sat in that stall until 8:37 I had enough and called. As soon as I called the girl said they should be bringing it now. What a coincidence that the second I call my food comes out. I wonder how long I could’ve waited, mind you I just got off of a long shift and I just wanted to quickly get one small thing and go home. When I received my food it was cold. The lady on the phone said they only had one carhop which was a lie I saw 3 diff people walk out of that door and give everyone else who had got there AFTER ME their food which was big bags and even some ice cream drinks which I know those take way longer than one order of mozzarella sticks. The fact that it took me calling to receive my order THAT WAS COLD after 30 minutes of waiting, to finally bring out one order of mozzarella sticks tells me that there was a mistake on their end and instead of trying to figure it out they simply ignored it. If that’s not the case, what kind of explanation could there possibly be for this infuriating experience? I am a fast food worker myself so I try to be understanding but never would I ever let a guest wait 30 minutes for one thing never mind bring out giant orders placed after the small one. This is not how to run a restaurant and I will never be returning. Corporate needs to do better since clearly managers don’t make their employees do their job.
