Sonic Drive-in

Drove up to one of the stalls to place an order and never got service, not sure if the intercom was broke or if they just didn’t want to take the order. So we ended up going thru the drive thru. Food was what you’d expect for fast food.

The food here… Amazing. Came to palm springs for a week from the Bay Area for vacation and as a quick bite to eat my boyfriend, sister and I all decided here. We got a Chicago dog chili dog and the chicken sandwich grilled. Along with the mandatory shakes. Not happy with the service. After ordering at the drive up we only got half of what he had ordered. We looked on the receipt and she had only gotten half of it down. After calling again to clear up the confusion and saying that I was missing the fries from my meal and my sisters entire meal. Rosa the manager I assume only brought out my fries. And when we explained we still wanted my sisters food which we had waited 25 minutes for and we would still pay for it since the girl who took our order, at that time she gave me major attitude telling me I DID NOT order the chicken sandwich. I understood the confusion and I work in food service so I was willing to comply but she was so rude for no reason. Any way good food rude manager.

Food was decent and served fast
Friendly service.
Will need to try smoothies shakes and drinks next time as they are known for it.
Drive in is a bit tough for this location as sand gets everywhere if it is windy etc…

this sonic is located near my workplace. awesome staff! my food is always served fresh and pipping hot! keep up the great work and positive vibe sonic :]
from your friendly customer

I like this place and the food. The only bummer is that I always go there by myself and it’s a little depressing to sit there alone in my car. I will probably do the drive-​thru in the future. I sort of agree with others about the staff being a little below par in terms of attitude. I wonder if people don’t tip them so they start out kind of low? Not sure. Maybe it’s the roller skates. Hard to say.
The text deals are sometimes pretty cool and they have a good late night shake sale sometimes. Recommended for late night munchies!

SIDE NOTE: this is going to be 3 reviews in 1.
Ready? Ok!
Oh Mickey you’re so fine, you’re so fi… never mind!
The first review and the MOST IMPORTANT is on the drinks, slushes, ice creams, and milkshakes.
***** 5 stars for this portion.
This is the ONLY reason you should want to come here. The different combinations you can create are never-​ending. I’m basic in my slush life because I only get the classic cherry limeade slush. It is served with actual limes and maraschino cherries. THANK YOUUUU Sonic Gods! You can also mix and match so many flavors that I’m sure you’ll find your «to-​die-​for» drink. Go wild!
Ice cream and milkshakes (especially Master Shakes and Master Blasts) should NOT be ignored. If you’re on a diet, eat a salad. If you’re not, get either the OREO Cheesecake Master Shake or the Malted Brownie Bliss Master Blast. You won’t be sorry! They also have chocolate free options if chocolate isn’t you’re thing because you’re an alien from planet Mars.
The second review is on the food.
* 1 star.
Seriously, it’s not good. Like at all. I’ve tried everything from the Breakfast Toaster to the classic Sonic Cheeseburger and everything in between. I wanted to like something so bad but everytime I was disappointed. Meat was to dry, food was bland, hot dogs were ok. not worth spending your hard earned coins on.
And lastly, the third review is the service.
*** 3 stars for effort.
The fact that most of these people skate to you and deliver your drinks and food is impressive. Ask me to and you can guarantee I’ll be crawling to you…
Tip your servers. They are likely high-​schoolers skating away for your leisure.
STICK TO THE DRINKS, SLUSHES, ICE CREAMS AND SHAKES and boy, oh boy. You will be happier than a kid in a candy store!

Went here for the first time with my sister. The girl that took our order was very rude and gave me attitude when I asked the difference between a shake and the brownie blast. She responded «um a shake you drink with a straw»
Then the girl that delivered our food wasn’t the nicest. They both seemed like they hated their lives and didn’t want to be there.
I’m in the service industry as well and I never bring my personal business to work like that. Not worth the feeling of feeling unwelcomed. Won’t be going back

Ive updated my review just a bit her, to «Meh», I guess its okay. The food rocks. The service is hit or miss. I went three times in the last month. first two where smooth drive though experiences no problems then the last time it took them way too long just one order. A number one combo, nothing special. they had me waiting for 5 minutes. Kept coming to open the window but said nothing, almost as if they where checking if I was still there. Like I said, hit or miss.

Unilocal check in redeemer for an all american hotdog for $ 0.99. Clicked to accept it, was only valid on 4^th of July. It’s November, time for updates. SUPER SLOW SERVICE. Waited about 20+ minutes for food and I wasn’t even greeted with a hello, just a shitty smirk from an unhappy person whom hates the job they signed up for.
My burger and malted brownie shake were disgusting, and I’m usually not one to be picky about burgers ;If I don’t finish a burger, it means something is wrong. I should’ve stuck to DQ for mediocre fast food.

Horrible experience. Ordered Large get medium, tots and jalapeño popper tasted old, possibly frost bitten. The girl that came out on skates had a horrible attitude when told that the drink was wrong. Very disappointed in this location!

After waiting for 20 in the drive thru… Yes 20min… The attendant called Malia was too busy flirting and messing around with a bunch of guys in the car in front of us. When we got our turn she even gave us an attitude!!! Really?! No more Sonic for us!

Afrer seeing the commericals on cable tv, many times. I finally decided to try thid place since I work in the area. Great food, good car hop experience. Excellent slushys, perfect for the desert.

Wow just pathetic on our Visit today. Ordered chicken strips and oh my that was a bad choice. So much for «strips «more like nuggets!

Im giving this Sonic 5 stars because we wanted a good shake and were driving in the middle of the friggin desert, and anything that resembles something that will stay cold for the next 5 minutes should hit the spot.

If I could give anything less to this place, I would. After waiting 30 minutes at the drive up windows, with no response, we tried heading through the drive through window which took 1 HOUR to get through. It was 9:00 on a Thursday night. Please try to understand that there are some sort of limits that I have. Waiting around for 2 medium shakes is hardly something I will ever try to peruse here again. I WILL NOT BE BACK!

Worst service I’ve ever had anywhere at any drive through. It took over 2 hours to even order the food. If Unilocal could let you give negative stars, I would have given negative 5. Terrible, horrible. Nothing good about the place what so ever.

Won’t be going back anytime soon. I won’t waste good money on rude employee’s.
The food is mediocre as well.

The place is a bit run down and dirty. We chose to eat at the outside table area and there was hardened old ketchup on the table along with other unidentifiable crusty goo — the umbrellas were dirty and a few broken as well. Ordering is easy and the food came fairly quick. The hamburger was amazing — but the fries and tater tots tasted like frozen food you buy at Walmart. The hot dog had SO MUCH relish my son couldn’t eat it. Even after trying to take most of it off — cuz it was liquidy and well — gross. The server was sweet but we only saw any server when dropping off food. Don’t think I’ll go again.

Unless you are coming here for the Sweets Stuff, Food is horrible!
Way over priced and not good at all!
Will not be back!
this was our second time here and we were disappointed once more.

Brava. Golf Clap. I tip my hat to you Good Sir Sonic. Between the roller skating, the thousands of possible flavor combinations and the option to sub the tater tots of my elementary school days for fries. Oh, the joy in fat kid nostalgia. So much awesome. I would say all of the awesome, but nay, I have a few objections. Namely, why are you not open 24 hours or at least 1am? And why does your iTunes Apple App suck so much? Burger King’s is way cooler. Step it guys. You’re lagging. PS — Good call bringing back half-​priced milkshakes after 8 PM. Two Fonzie Finger gun «Ayyye“s.
