Sonic

Sooooo. My mother suggested we get sonic. I agreed. We ordered. Food came out cramped up in a small bag. Everything seemed straight out of a freezer and not fresh. The corndog to the cheddar poppers. The corn dog was about as big as my palm (small). Think I expected too much. Maybe? The ice was the only thing good. Oh well. The ocean water had no flavor it tasted exactly like its name, ocean water. & my Sprite ran out of the syrup tasted like tonic water. she exchanged them nicely. Surprisingly.

Terrible service. My husband, 2 kids and I have been to this Sonic a handful of times and this will be the last. Each time we have come it has gotten progressively worse. Today it took my husband 10 minutes just to order. He would order something and get a «just a minute» in return after EACH item. When he asked her to repeat our order 2 of the things were wrong so he corrected her. When we finally got our order those two things were STILL wrong and also wrong on the ticket. We sent them back and when we got them back it was wrong AGAIN, but in a different way! We will never be back to this Sonic again.

Still waiting on my food after 20 mins of ordering! Slow and ppl standing there talking!

Took the family to sonic and we pulled into the ordering stall. I ordered four meals with milkshakes instead of soda. For some odd reason, the order taker refused to acknowledge that we ordered four milkshakes instead of soda. I repeated the order seven times for her and each time she slowly repeated it incorrectly. She also kept saying, «Hold on. Be right back.» Then she would come back and repeat the order incorrectly again. She just wasn’t getting it. I lost my patience after 10 minutes. I politely asked her to cancel the order and she did. She asked slowly, «Do you want someone else to take your order?» I said, «No. Thank you.» That girl had a fundamental issue with English or she was high. Either way, we’re not going to even try to eat here anymore. Pathetic.

I waited 30 min in Two different carHop stalls. Actuated the order screen. No one ever responded. Others on either side of me left for same reason. Staff the establishment for business, or close It! Too bad… These are great places in the south.

Slowest drive thru EVER!!! I never wait less than 15mins. In fact, I’m waiting in line now. If you’re in a hurry or on a lunch break, do NOT stop here. You will be late returning to work.

I have never been to a Sonic, EVER, until last week. It has been on my list of places I’d like to try, and I did not know Cleveland had a sonic until a couple weeks ago, and right then and there, I just knew I had to go.
You cannot go inside to eat, you actually drive your car up to a post where you can order and someone will bring out the food to you. Now I was excited for the part where the girls come out with roller skates, but that didn’t happen and I was slightly disappointed as that has been all I’ve seen in Sonic commercials over the years. Whatever, I got over that. Food came out within five minutes of ordering, the girl was friendly too.
The food itself: I only got the burger to try, and it was just OK, nothing spectacular or mind blowing. It was very thin (I did not mind) but it left something to be desired with each bite. I was not impressed. Next time I will try their milkshakes, since that’s what they seem to be more popular for.

First time ever at Sonics. No indoor eating. No worries. I came here with a friend because I have always been enticed by Sonic’s awesome commercials where they feature a girl rollerblading out your order to you! Alas, no roller blades, but food was pretty decent. went during downtime, so food took a but of time (5 – 10 min). Patty in the burger is flat.

The shakes are amazing, the food is okay, the prices suck, so that’s why, it gets a 3. no way to help it, it’s decent food, but it’s not like it’s high class food, corn dogs, tater tots, you know, but if I buy 4 items for me, my wife, my nephew and my Mother in law, I shouldn’t be paying 30 bucks for a meal.
My sister loves the place to me, it’s okay if you are coming for a shake, that’s about it.

Sucks. They are do slow. Customer service is horrible. I wish there were more Sonics around this area. They need management help!!!

I had to try it when i was passing though.
I must say for fast food, this stuff hits the spot.
I had the chili-​cheese dog with Fritos on top and fries and YEA BOI, that was good stuff. So i hate to admit it but i went back again the next day to grab me one of those big Ol’ bacon double cheese burgers and as messy as it was it was what i needed to complete my fast food euphoria.
I am a true Sonic fan now. As far as chain store fast food goes, this is my go to place when i am traveling in Ohio.

I remember the long lines of traffic when this place first opened. No more. Service is really slow. Food is served fresh, but menu lacks imagination, even by fast food standards. Drinks are overly sweet. The Sonic’s I’ve visited in the South always seem better than the local ones.

CHEAP EATS. .. great when out and about on a busy day
Was returning home from a vet visit with my adorable doggie and needed sustenance. I never leave her in the car alone, so a drive-​thru was the only option. I’d just about settled on a small burger and fries from McDonalds, when I spotted Sonic.
The Junior Deluxe and fries were pretty flavorful for about $ 1 each, however, the small order of onion rings wasn’t. I’d never eaten rings that tasted like a dessert. The third bite confirmed the presence of sugar. Sugar? Back into the bag for disposal. Pulled out of the parking lot to head back home when I decided to return. Sonic should know that they made a huge preparation mistake with that coating.
No mistake. Per the friendly manager who happened to be working the window, sugar is added to the breading. ech. Not the best result, in my opinion. He quickly offered another side which I graciously declined. What about a drink, he asked. Well, okay, I answered, even though I wasn’t really thirsty — and beverages have always been unwelcome car refreshments since a friend spilled a nearly full one into the between-​the-​seat ignition well of my new Saab. (She was accustomed to having beverage holders in that area.) I’d keep it closed and drink it when I got home. But his recommendation sounded so good — a cherry-​limeade — that at the first traffic light I just HAD to taste it. Delicious! Bright, sweet, intensely-​flavored.
If you ever happen to be in Parma — near Snow and Broadview — I’d recommend trying this nostalgic «drive-in”-themed restaurant, that has quick window service as well as rollerskating carhops — and a cute patio, too, that I never noticed until leaving. Don’t know if it’s dog-​friendly, though.
A scarce, lesser-​known, but welcome change-​of-​pace option, to add to the two ever-​present giants.

My first time to a Sonic. Confusing ordering from their outdoor auto/​menu. Three other groups of people asked us how to order, so I know it wasn’t just us.
The food tasted bland… you know it’s sad when McDonalds burgers have more flavor. Over the years, we had seen commercials showing mouth watering food items for Sonic; hahaha good ol’ marketing!!!
Also, interesting that the food server did not make eye contact… possibly she was too embarrassed of the product they are selling? Well, she was on skates… possibly too busy trying to maintain balance.

Way more fun visiting Sonic as a backsliding vegetarian. Roxy and I got the bacon cheeseburger, chili cheese tots and a lime chiller (which is like a shake). The burger was better than the Whopper I had a few weeks ago, but not gourmet like the thick kind you get at a bar (aka arm sandwich). The tots were great! Never been a fan of tots, but tonight they hit a home run.
Speaking of baseball, Shin Soo Choo should live out here. Drunk driving is not only tolerated, but encouraged in Parma. it’s like their version of triathlons. Drink, smoke and drive! The service was very friendly, quick and sadly, not on roller skates. Great way to break in the summer!

No No No No No NO! I’ve eaten here twice. Once when I was drunk (anything tastes like prime rib when you’re drunk, especially soggy greasy food). So we’ll talk about my sober service. Whatever, the food is typical for a fast food restaurant. They have burgers, dogs, tots, and salads for the whacko’s that are willing to pay a fast food joint to make your salad. The people rolling out on skates are friendly, nothing special other than their footwear. So yeah, my brother and I eat our food. No sooner do we roll towards Wendy’s to turn out on Broadview does he tell me to pull over and stop because he doesn’t feel well. Long story short, we both hurled right infront of Marc’s because the food didn’t settle well at all. I later found out why when I met a girl at school who used to work there for a while .She explained how the people in the kitchen are jerks. (You’ve seen «Waiting» right?) Yeah, picture that in the Sonic food prep area. Nasty. I will never ever ever be back!

Second Sonic visit in my lifetime, first at this location. We waited about ten minutes in the drive-​thru, but were craving cherry limeades like nobody’s business! Found out that we can get the slushie version of the cherry limeade. What?! We ordered two mediums and the TOTAL was $ 1.98. They apparently have a «happy hour» every day from 2 – 4 with half off all drinks. Well worth the trip over there.

I don’t think us Northerners are ready for Sonic. Everyone here seemed really, really confused. This is fast food people. It should pander to the lowest form of humanity. Perhaps that is why my friend and I had such trouble with the outside menu… we are of the highest intelligence, natch. We knew the place would be packed in the opening month, but all we wanted was a couple of drinks.
Problem #1: He only had cash. Can we use cash on the outside electronic ordering menu machine? It did not seem possible. Yet, there were a couple of blue hairs having lunch on the outside dining table. We all know blue hairs don’t trust debt or credit cards, so they must have paid cash. But how? I was even a project manager on installing the electronic debt machines on a string of Sonics throughout the south in a former life and even I didn’t know the answer.
Problem #2: The car hops wear roller skates. There is no way I could have enjoyed my food watching grown men degraded by wearing roller skates and sailing, unhappily, from the Sonic to people too lazy to get out of their cars. I mean, your thoughts are automatically brought to the stinking economy and thinking about how these men were once management of some auto part supplier who lost his job so long ago he isn’t even factoring into our sky-​high unemployment rates so he was forced to strap on roller skates at a Parma Sonic. Eeeh Gads! This is not what I want to think about on my lunch break.
Problem #3: Once we finally figured out how to signal some service we waited a few minutes before someone came over the loudspeaker indicating something. We aren’t sure what. We guessed the crackly voice said we would have to wait a few more minutes for someone to take our order.
I haven’t felt this confused since McCain announced Palin as his running mate. WTF.

This place was kind of stressful to order and eat at. We went in a group and wanted to eat at a table, so we opted for the patio (they don’t have a dining room). You have to order through this walk up speaker system, and I had to shout everything I wanted several times. I actually spelled out «Jill» twice, a pretty easy name. I almost went for the «You know, like Jack and Jill… went up the hill…»
Once we were seated, the food came out quickly and the staff was really friendly. But all around were a ton of people shouting at each other on top of the people shouting into the speaker system, spelling out things like «My name is B-​O-​B» or «that’s a D-​I-​E-​T coke, to make up for the extra mayo on my bacon burger». It was hard to hear myself even think.
I think since it is their opening week it is just too busy for my social anxiety to deal with. Maybe I’ll go back in a couple months.

Went to the new Sonic in Parma on opening night. The staff was fast and friendly. They performed very well considering it was their opening night and the place was slammed with people. We had to wait in a line of cars for about 20 minutes before we even got a stall. As expected on an opening night though.
We got the biggest and best cheesburgers and sides money could buy there being Sonic virgins. All in all I’d say they came in a very strong second place in that area along Snow Rd. which offers 5 different cheesburger options. First = Burger King «Triple Whopper», Second = Sonic «Super SonicBurger», Third = Wendy’s «Triple Cheeseburger», Fourth = Eatin Park «Double Cheeseburger», Fifth = McDonalds «Big Mac».
Not the best value for the money in the end and not the worst like Eatin Park or Mcdonalds though. The burgers were satisfying and the meat taste like a hamburger should. Sides were pretty average… tater tots with cheese and onion rings with ketchup. The drinks were tasty they have HUGE variety of slushies which we loved. Certain that above all else is Sonic’s claim to fame.
Ultimately you just end up paying a few dollars more than usual for the insurance required to cover the «car hops» (waiters/​waitresses on skates) should they take a spill and go on workers comp for a few weeks. You get an experience that is perhaps a little more interesting than the Burger King drive thru window but a burger that’s not quite as good. So if that’s your thing then Sonic is a good bet on Snow Rd. Sure wish we had a 5 Guys a little closer to my house! =P
