Sonic Drive-In

You know those nights when for whatever reason, dinner just didn’t completely satisfy your hunger? Those nights when you find yourself craving something sweet as you bathe your kids and get them ready for bed? Then, you find yourself sneaking away unnoticed driving somewhere undecided to get something to satisfy that sweet tooth? Well, if you’re thinking about sonic, keep driving.
I know sonic isn’t a place where you go to be «wow’d» but their ice creams are generally good and their prices reflect that (yea, I’m not spending $ 7 for a scoop of ice cream *ahem, baskin robbins*). The line wasn’t longer than average tonight, but the wait was ridiculous. So much so that when I actually got my banana split blast, it was already in a soupy state. Needless to say, I think I’ll spring for Dewar’s drive through next time I get an ice cream craving.

Ordered a burger and it tasted like it was made 2 days ago and reheated several times. Yuck!!! Never going back!!!

Very slow service but the drinks are amazing. Especially if you go during happy hour.

Zero stars but 1 because I have to. This place is ridiculous in the most negative sense. They made an error by charging my credit card the wrong order. I asked for the receipt of the charge that was in error and I was given attitude. He said they «needed it for their records.» Finally gave it to me… Worst service I had in a long time.

I’ll be honest, I have not eaten food from Sonics for a very, very long time. Such a long time ago that I cannot remember it all that well. What I am rating on will be their Happy Hour & drinks available.
I often go here to pick up some drinks during happy hour for my wife and her co-​workers. If you buy 4 – 5 Route 44 drinks without Happy Hour prices, it can get pricey. But during Happy Hour, it is super cheap, well worth it!
Their slushes and limeades are all damn good except for their Coke slush. It did not taste like Coke at all, I mean I understand making it a slush alters the taste but this did not taste like Coke at all, just icy sugar. I have not ordered that again and will not again, ever.
If you are trying to cool off from the Bakersfield heat and are in this area, grab a drink here during happy hour, you will not be disappointed unless you order the Coke slush.

Sonic is awesome. Anytime I’m anywhere near a sonic I have to stop. The tater tots are great. The ched r peppers are also a go to for me. Which brings me to the best and most important part of how I sonic, the shakes. They have so many and every one I’ve tried has been better than the last. The turtle master blast is also amazing. I definitely recommend to anyone to try out a sonic immediately

They have great drinks here but every time I order a corndog it always comes burned.bummer.
Also they should really try cleaning up the place a little bit.

This sonic is one of the Best In Bakersfield!!! Their service is fast and efficient the staff is very Professional and well presented. The food is always fresh and is very good being the restaurant critic I am I am very impressed by this joint come and check it out you will not be disappointed!

Sonic Drive-​In is pretty much my go to stop when on a road trip. Those Root 44 drinks are a must on long drives! No, it’s not super healthy but if you find yourself on a long drive and have nothing to eat, Sonic it is! I highly recommend their berry lemonade slush, the chicken club toaster (which isn’t on the menu but you can still totally order it) and their skinny fries. Quite yummy and hits the spot every time! That’s just my usual order, you can literally make up something and they’ll probably make it. They have literally any burger you can imagine along with any shake or drink you can dream up. The staff is always really nice. It’s your standard drive in and park and they deliver everything right at your window. The honey mustard is usually on point too, random I know but it’s a must! =)

I repeated each part of my order 3 times to the apparently deaf cashier, who then proceeded to charge me god the wrong order. After multiple tries I got my basic #2 burger and they had the audacity to tell me I didn’t need to specify that I would like both ketchup and mayo since mayo comes on it already. Uhh, you already got my order wrong, I wasn’t going to take chances. They also made my mother cry. Needless to say 1 star might be too much for this crapstand.

This sonic is so ghetto, ugly, ratchet and filthy. Im from LA and we don’t have Sonics over here and I was here visiting family although I dont like comming over here since its so ghetto and just looks like an old run down ghost town. I’ve been to other Sonics in another states and this one has the wrost customer service ever. I had to drive to another sonic on Taft hey because this one has the most rudest employees ever. I know that their job must suck but shit at least be happy you have a job. Screw this sonic I won’t be comming back and best believe im calling corporate

This is the worst service I have ever had. The people working this afternoon act like you are doing them a favor to stop in. I just picked up drinks for my office and the gal in the window acted like she couldn’t reach to hand me the drinks. I had to practically climb out the car window. And, do I really need to have people handling my food that look like they haven’t showered an a week. Who ever owns this location needs to make some changes. It’s pretty bad when they only want to talk to each other and not the customers. I wasn’t even greeted when I pulled up to the window. WONT EVER GO BACK.

They forgot to put bacon and cheese on my Asiago Chicken Club Sandwich. ALWAYS check your order before leaving the drive through.

They don’t accept credit cards, $ 50’s, or $ 100’s, and they don’t have pennies to give back for change. Also only one employee working and you have to do drive through cause the boards don’t work.
Oh, Bakersfield…
The tots are still on point.

I think sonic is good fast food. It’s not healthy, it’s not cuisine and it certainly is not about ambiance. This is consistent inexpensive food that tastes good. That’s it. I gave it four stars because this location has messed up my order several times. When they get it right, the food is great!

This place is filty and they try and cheat you by leaving you waiting for 10 minutes to order just so you can’t get the advertised «happy hour» special. Their «manager» jose is a punk young kid who just laughs under his breath when you have an issue with their policy and says «sorry, nothing I can do for you». I am a loyal sonic customer who visits them every day for drinks and snacks after picking my kids up from school before activities. i will never be back to this nasty location and their disgusting employees.
