Sonic Drive-In

I actually like this location’s coffee. Their burgers are greasy but really good. They always give me cold fries. Their nice and courteous, but they take forever. It takes them 5 minutes just to respond to me after I push the red button and another 20 minutes to actually get my food. It seems like there’s only one person working in the morning. Most of their order booths don’t even work.

I have been to many Sonic’s throughout the Southwest. This might be the best one of them all. Sonic is reasonably consistent wherever you go, so perhaps it’s the staff here that makes it a stand out. There are times, as other Unilocalers have mentioned, when there are lots of boisterous teen-​agers present, but they are harmless, and at times, their antics can be quite amusing. Been eating here 2 years and will continue to do so.

This place always has a ton of teenagers hanging around making a lot of noise. The food is really greasy but not to bad tasting I guess. The service is bad. We went there 3 times in a row and only got ice cream, had to wait a half hour. First time they gave us a token for a free drink second time they came out after 20 minutes, we were one of about 3 cars there and they asked us what we ordered because they lost the slip, the third time, we waited over half hour and finally just left, have not and will not go back again.

Everyone here is friendly. And always get the order right. Great place to take the kids for a dessert and hang out!

I have given this specific location 5 tries. The first time we ate here years ago it was pretty good. 2^nd through 5^th time it’s been the exact same experience. The quality of the sandwiches/​burgers are atrocious. I don’t know if we are unlucky and show up before the food spoils but, the lettuce is always like boiled cabbage and turning brown. It’s never been fresh. I don’t think we are paying for presentation or if presentation is a big deal but, it looks like the cooks balled the sandwich/​burger up and tried to flatten it back out like a piece of paper.
The place constantly forgets items… sauce, ketchup, straws, napkins, etc. It’s different every time (so it’s like a surprise! Yay.). I stopped getting ice cream drinks here because they do it the same everytime. Toppings encrusted in the bottom of the cup covered in vanilla icecream. Oreo shake? OK so oreos on the bottom… vanilla icecream… and then just not mix it properly. What’s the point?
The only redeeming quality is the staff. They are very nice and courteous. the place just needs to reevaluate their quality and standards of preparing of food. Regular drinks are great. The «real fruit» drinks are great.

Every time I go here there is always something wrong with my order always check your food before you leave I guarantee you will always be missing something or something ain’t right.

Thanks for having happy hour sonic.

I asked Siri where the nearest Sonic was and she told me to go to this one. The funny thing is that I kept thinking Siri must be crazy as I drove past cotton fields, horse farms, and what looked like deserted homes… finally I came upon something called OLD TOWN Buckeye and yes, Siri was right. there is a Sonic there!
I am a huge fan of their ice. I know that sounds really weird, but Sonic has crushed ice, which makes any kind of drink so much better.
If you like the old car hop, diner style food, this place has a lot to offer. I would prefer it had a better location, but the service and food were on par with any other location.
I like to park and have them skate the food out, I like that they have the little order speaker at every parking spot, so you can be lazy and not even get out of your car. LOL.
My fave thing to get is a toaster and tots and if i am feeling very evil, a banana split!
They really have some good drinks too. all sorts of mixtures. I would drop in more often for a slush if it weren’t so out of the way.

Foods of Sonic Standards and the employees seem friendly. I only wish the employee with the motorcycle wouldn’t park it in the seated area and also they would be more prompt to empty trash containers. These two things were annoying the three times I’ve eaten here.

As we rode in the back seat of the car down a street in Buckeye that I can’t remember the name of, I saw a bunch of neon glowing around a building in the distance. I asked the man driving, «What’s that off in the distance there?»
He looked slightly confused for a second. «With all the neon?»
The neon was pretty much the only thing you could see across the dark desert night. «Yes.»
“That’s a Sonic,” he said.
Now, I live in Chicago. I see commercials near everyday for Sonic, but there aren’t any within 100 miles of here. Why they torture Chicagoans with images of yummy food, tasty drinks, and ice cream desserts that we would have to travel for hours upon hours to get, I know not. Here was my chance though. I could finally have some Sonic. I asked him to stop there, and he did.
It’s a 50s-​inspired drive-​in! I don’t see too many drive-​ins around anymore. You pull into a spot next to a menu with a speakerbox. You place your order. A person who works there brings it out to you on a special tray that goes over your window. Very cool.
We got burgers and a corndog and sundaes and other stuff too. It was all good. The service was good. I greatly enjoyed my first Sonic experience, and I look forward to getting to one again on future travels.

My NYE resolution was to stay away from fried foods. I tried, I really tried. That was until someone popped the question «What do you want from Sonic?»
It was a co-​winkie-​dink or maybe a sign from fate because I was looking at a Sonic coupon flyer (the ones you receive in the mail) and I was wondering what the burrito with the Frito’s tasted like. Sign or no sign I was going to stick to my resolution. I responded, «Nothing, but thank you for asking.»
As Fate would have it, I received my utmost fave fried junk food in the WWW! A corndog. I scarfed that puppy down, chewed on the crunchy batter that is stuck to the stick in no time flat.
I *heart* Sonic’s corn dogs!
PS — 2pm — 4pm it’s happy hour! Drinks half off! Woo Hoo for the Cherry Lime-​aide.
4 stars because they have great customer service!
