Sonic Drive-In

This place needs help. I’ve been there several times over the years and it was ok. But the last 2 times, both in 2016, have been terrible. Lousy food, poor service, having to wait just to place my order. Management/​ownership needs to wake up and get control of this place because it has gone down hill.

I do like Sonic but when there is so many better sit down places in the area like this one, its fades a bit for me. Having said that, if im out in the area its usually for work, so that means I have skipped lunch and im filthy dirty. Too nasty to walk in somewhere. Thats where these guys and gals fill the need. Super super fast food delivery! I mean fast and correct too!
Only issue I have here is the girl that pops up on the speaker talks way too fast and doesnt hold the button down long enough when repeating back the order. Maybe the button is shocking her and it hurts to hold it?
They dont have a drive thru lane at this Sonic

The food is pretty typical of Sonic. It’s fast food so don’t expect a 5 star meal, but the service here has always been pretty good. The car hops are usually pretty friendly. Speed of service as always depends on time of day.

Well I had lunch today at Sonic. I was surprised at how amazingly fast I received my order. After further examination I learned how it had gotten to me so quickly.
The hamburger patty looked like it was left over from the lunch rush and had been sitting on the grill for a time. The onion ring on the burger was burnt. Other than that it wasn’t bad.
I’ve always liked the chili cheese fries and got an order of those. I was shocked when I opened the bag and found about 12 fries with a bit of chili covering them. With the prices that Sonic charges they could at least give you a decent size portion.
Then to top that off I was charged $ 0.20 for a cup of water! I spent almost $ 7 on a burger and 12 fries and they want to charge me for water? lol
I managed a Sonic years ago and we didn’t charge for water. Not sure what the deal is.
Incidentally when I first worked at Sonic a Brown Bag Special was $ 4.49. Today I noticed that they are now $ 8.99. WHAT?

This location always provides fast service. I usually hit this location just before lunch and have never found it to be too crowded. Lots of parking bays to pull in and place your order. There’s also a few outside dining tables if the weather is nice and you want to stretch your legs.
Service is better than what you usually encounter at those other fast food places. Most of the carhops wear skates and it’s fun to watch some of them try to balance things while whizzing around the area.
The dollar menu offers a few items that are good value. The Jr. Friotos Chili Cheese Wrap is a good appetizer to go along with your meal. The full menu is served all day long. So if you pull in at 9pm and want a Breakfast Toaster, you can get it.
So to wrap things up, good food, decent prices, great service and a convenient location.

Another fast food review. I try and only comment if something is out of the ordinary (good or bad).
On the Northshore we are lucky when it comes to Sonic. We have several locations, and all have great staffs and deliver high quality food.
This is one of those locations. The staff is very friendly and promptly brings your food to your car. I have never had a missing item and my food is always great.
