Sonic Drive-In

I have been a fan of Sonic for a very long time.
I have been coming to this location since they first opened. They were out in the middle of nowhere and everyone thought they were nuts to put a fast-​food restaurant so far out of town on the road the locals use to bypass downtown to get from 50 to 395.. But then the new freeway went in, businesses started filling in and low and behold, they are now surrounded by town!
They have really good fries. They also have really good hamburgers. I also like the retro carhop drive-​up concept. Service was friendly and prompt. The food was all freshly cooked and just the way I ordered it.
Coming through Carson, it is a fast food alternative on my regular trips from Dayton to Reno.

Aside from the novelty of being able to eat «drive-​up style» and the nostalgic foil hamburger wrappers, I’m afraid I could not find anything extraordinary in the food here.
The fries were crisp and done well, not greasy. The hamburger reminded me of the kind of hamburger one gets at, say, an amusement park or the board walk. Now, four hours later, there isn’t a single thing I can recall about it. One thing I did noticed was when I was done, I had bits and pieces of lettuce everywhere. That could be because they use chopped lettuce, or it could be because I’m a slob. So I’m not taking off for that.
I went through the drive up window and eschewed the nostalgic dining experience. As this is the first time I’ve been here in a long, long time, I would have appreciated looking at a menu before I pulled up to the speaker, so as not to waste everyone’s time. Looks like they may have had that mounted there at one time. But it’s not there now, so there is a bit of pressure as soon as you pull up to the speaker.
To their credit, they came out before we got to the window and took our payment to speed things up a bit. Good thinking.
If you’re really hungry, can’t wait another minute, and they’re on your side of the street, this will do. Not worth a U-​turn, though.

Worst service ever the lady was rude we tried to order 4 of the $ 5 CHICKEN dinner meals and no where does it say 1 per person according to her and the supervisor. I will never go there again and will tell everyone else to never go there…

Employees have been very rude to me and my husband on multiple occasions while going through the drive through. Besides the bad attitude they seem to have a hard time getting orders correct.

Food was made fresh to order. Though I wasn’t too satisfied. The car hop was friendly
91 cents for a soda refill after I just paid $ 7 for a hotdog combo meal. Wasn’t too thrilled about that.

FAIL. COMPLETE AND UTTER FAIL.
Went for the summer shake flavors and half-​off shakes special. Ordered peanut butter fudge shake (advertised special), orange cream slush, and 2 identical footlong chili cheese coneys with onions & mustard. Nothing special, all standard Sonic fare.
The speaker system on the stall I pulled into was broken, so I opted for the drive-​thru. Big mistake. I clocked it: 25 minutes to get my food! The drive-​thru employee didn’t greet me when taking my card, giving it back, or handing me my food. The only thing she said at all was that the shakes weren’t ready yet when she handed over the food. I felt completely unwelcome and unappreciated.
Service: 0
Speed: 0
Facility: 0
Accuracy of order: 25%. Wrong shake flavor, no onions or mustard on either coney. ¼ correct.
FAIL on all counts. I’m extremely displeased. $ 13 for an orange cream slush and three wrong items. Yuck. To add insult to injury, the coney tasted like salt and mustard on a bun. It was WAY oversalted and had no other flavor to it whatsoever.
If you’re going to participate in promotions like 25 shake flavors and ½ off shakes after 8, have adequate staff and facilities to handle the resulting 8:00 rush! What a nightmare. I don’t plan to return. What I’d *really* like is a refund and an apology, but I don’t have another fifteen minutes to wait to speak to someone and another half hour after that to wait for replacement food.

Not exactly the greatest food but sometimes you are gonna be hungry for low end but tasty high fat, high sodium, cheap food. Sonic nails this. Coney Island dogs and corn dogs are my favorite fall back eats here. The soda fountain plethora of mixes allows for one to make a cherry-​limeade or something better.

I went for the first time since moving to Carson City. I went through the drive thru and ordering was easy, the folks were very nice and the food was very tasty. I really love the onion rings!

The Super Sonic double cheesebuger is one of the best burgers in Carson city ! Very good and it will fill you up.
My kids love the Tator tots. They have good various drinks and smoothies too. I only wish they had a dining room.

I have been here a couple of times and the Food tastes like the grill! Or a grill brick. Drinks are good on the other hand.
once before I was the 3^rd car in line at the DT, when only there for 2 minutes my order came out to me! I knew something was up because they never take the time to get an order out this fast, later that day I was feeling pretty bad, figure it.

Happy hour ROCKS! Huge frozen fruity drinks from 2−4pm for pennies. Mmmmm. I wish I had a Sonic near my home.
