Sonic Drive-in

Awesome food! 4 stars for dirty tables. The coney island hot dog is awesome. The cherry limeade is amazing

This happened on 2÷7÷16 about 5:15pm.
1. The drive-​thru communication equipment was not working properly. The volume was so high it hurt my ears and those of my wife, yet the sonic employee could not hear my wife, she started ordering in a regular volume and by her 4^th attempt was shouting her order, but the sonic employee couldn’t hear her. Seems this has been going on some time. This is bad for customers, bad for your employees, bad for your manager and your sales. Both sides of that ordering need to hear. The equipment needs fixing.
2. We looked forward to trying the Chili Cheese Hot Dog. I doubt we’ll try it again. Hot dog and bun were OK, the cheese was what I call «American Rubber”-tasteless, the Chili was tasteless and difficult to see, must have used one level tablespoon for each of our dogs-​pathetic.
3. To me the Sonic ad is misleading. I was going to ask for some onions on my dog– — but gave up with the shouting and blasting going on with our order.
4. The root beer floats we had were adequate, yet the root beer tasted like a cheap imitation of «real» root beer.
* I filled out the Sonic survey, told them my story — — but what I didn’t tell them was we are going back in about a week (maybe 2 weeks). If the drive-​thru speaker/​ordering system isn’t fixed, I intend to email
Clifford Hudson (Pres/​CEO/​Chairman) of Sonic and
Cc their local Manager here. Stay tuned. If you want a risk, you try that Cheese Chili Hot Dog and tell Unilocal what you think and alert others. Enjoy.

I have not been a fan of Sonic’s food in the past but decided to try their new boneless chicken wings because they looked good in their TV ads and they have a half price special going on. I ordered the honey barbecue wings at the drive thru. I had to wait almost ten minutes to get my ordered even though I was the only car there. The wings tasted horrible. There was almost no sauce on them. The heavy coating was hard and tasted grainy and cereal like. The twelve «wings» were four dollars and change which was at half price meaning that the normal price would be well over eight dollars. Don’t waste your money. Even McDonald’s McNuggets or Burger King’s nuggets taste much better and are a fraction of the cost.

Food isn’t good at all but the cherry limeades, especially during happy hour is amazing! Super refreshing too! even if you place an order though they make you pay for a courtesy cup of water!

We went to Sonic at 6:00 on a Wednesday night. They were not very busy. We were going to eat outside at a table. We placed our order and was going to sit down when I saw that the table was really dirty. I called back in and asked if somone could come out and wipe it off. I was told very rudelyby the Manager «I’ll get there when I can». 15 minutes later our food comes out and I asked the girl if we could have the table wiped off before she sat the food down. She stomped off and when she got inside she slammed our food down on the counter and walked over to the sink filling a bucket of water. We had enough. I knocked on the door and asked for our money back. I then had another girl get in my face and said «she is doing what you asked». Then the girl with the bucket of water passed by and started scrubbing the table down with a brush. Water was flying everywhere. There would be no way for us to sit at the table being soaked down like this. A simple wet towel to wipe it off would have been fine. I asked for our money back again and the girl at the door got in my face and told me I was being rude to them. I asked to see the Manager. She went in and came back out and glared at us then said «He’s getting your credit back.» When he walked out he he didn’t say anything just handed me the receipt. I then asked if he was the manager or Assitant Manger. He said he was the Manager. I asked why they were so upset about being asked to wipe down a table and his reply was «Sorry you don’t like our service.» No apology no explanation just a glare. I left calmly telling him I was going to write a complaint. And just for the record I am a very calm and patient person. We just asked to have the table wiped off.

Got a bacon bretzel hotdog and drink. I enjoyed the drink. I didn’t like the hot dog. Some douche kept smoking right next to me. It was gross. The hotdog had no bacon so I sent it back. The second hot dog was not very good. Alright fuckos sonic sucks. I am not sure why I ever came here.

Avoid at all costs if you have any taste buds.
Can I give this place a — star rating.
Pure Crap, the worst food I have had from a chain in 50 years and that is saying something. Look for used gum in the gutter before you waste time going here, A total disgrace.

Everyone one has bad days, but to be spoken to as if I was a toddler, or as if English was a foreign language to me… unacceptable, no matter what. Do not insult my intelligence by talking down to me. Who the hell do you think you are? If he was my employee, he would be kicked to the curb.

Going through Medford and we needed a quick lunch. Two hot dogs and drinks for under10 $. First pretzel bun I have had. They did taste like pretzels although they didn’t have the pretzel crunch. Sonic has good quality meat in their dogs. Almost as good as the $ 1.50 hot dogs at Costco.
Good, quick service.

Ah, Sonic. The fast food place where you not only don’t have to wait for your food, but you don’t even have to leave the car to get it. Ultimate laziness ftw. I tasted the chicken strips, sweet potato tots, and onion rings. The chicken strips are sizable pieces. The sweet potato tots are very good without any sauce because then one can really appreciate the natural sweetness of the starch. The onion rings pass the test of tasting freshly fried, but not raw inside – I don’t like it when I bite into an onion ring and end up drawing the whole strip of vegetable out of the breaded casing. One note is that I didn’t really like the more special sauces they offered, including BBQ, sweet & sour, and honey mustard. Ketchup and regular mustard are probably safe, but for some reason the fancier dips all left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth.
Overall, I think it’s impressive that we spent $ 12 on dinner for 4 people.

Slow and impolite, not enough ice in the limeade, and the food was just bad. Worst sonic ever.

The food is DISGUSTING. I would almost rather eat McDonalds than Sonic. If I were on a desert island I might actually choose to starve than eat either.
So the three stars? Only for the Cherry Limeaid. On a 100 degree day in Medford, there’s nothing more refreshing (or reminiscent of a daquiri) than a Cherry Limeaid.

Delicious strawberry shakes!
Love their tater tots, like the burgers.
The roller skates add an interesting novel touch, like WAY back when :)

The best thing about it is they bring it to you, bad food fast, some weird greesy tasting food, not normal.

Dear Sonic. Stop playing your commercials in areas where there is not a Sonic! Like in Alaska and most states! I just moved down and drove to Medford to check out sonic it’s ok food at a fair price. Its a fast food place if you want better food go to a local spot!

Similar to a lot of people, only reason I came was b/​c of their famous commercials. This was my first time eating at Sonics. I pulled up to one of the parking slots, pushed the red button and ordered a breakfast toaster (texas toast with cheese/​egg/​sausage), fresh onion rings, and an oreo sonic blast. The breakfast toaster was meh, I suppose I should’ve ordered something more exciting. Their onion rings was good and I liked the «french fry sauce» that came with it which is something I’ve only heard of after moving to Oregon. It’s just ketchup + mayo mixed together? Anyhow, it was pretty good. Then I had the oreo blast — it was more like… oreo ice cream but with bigger chunks of real oreo cookies. Only thing missing would be cherry on top of the whipped cream like they do with oreo shakes at jack-​in-​the-​box.
It was interesting to watch the guys bringing out the food on their skates while I sat in the car for about 30 – 40 min enjoying my food while staring at the road in front of me. I’m not sure if I would come back for their fast food style burgers in the future, but I might check out their slushy/​specialty frozen treats next time.

I didn’t know what to expect when I got here. I think the only reason I went was because I see so many commercials I just had to go. First off I was forewarned by my fellow friends to not try the burgers seeing they aren’t up to par, so instead I settled on mozzarella sticks and a strawberry slushy. The food itself was just good you can’t really mess up mozzarella sticks and the slushy was good too. I notice they are more well known for their drinks as they should be.
In all, on my next roadtrip to Washington I’ll make sure I stop here again!

This was our first time eating at Sonic. The chili cheese tots are excellent. The slushes are a bit sweet but refreshing on a hot day. Friendly folks… how fun when they deliver your food on skates!,

There were only three highlights of our trip to Oregon: 1. seeing family, 2. going on a jet boat tour of Hell’s Gate canyon and 3. eating at Sonic. You’re probably wondering why #3 would be eating at a Sonic, right? Well, you see, with the bf and I being from the bay area and seeing those oh so funny Sonic commericals on TV, but never being able to go to one because there isn’t one around the Santa Clara County area, always had us craving their food. When we were up in Medford driving around, we spotted a Sonic and vowed to go before we headed back home to CA. The experience of driving up, parking and ordering food was so cool (atleast we thought so), we took pics of us ordering food at the telecom menu board. Their food wasn’t bad either. My favorite is the variety of different drinks they have to offer. Not your typical soda fountain drinks. This is a must try if you’ve never been to a Sonic’s.

I saw a Sonic on the way up to Oregon (in Anderson) so I knew that I wanted to eat there on our way back to California but as we were driving back I found one sooner!!! and it was a brand new one because they don’t even have a real sign on the shopping center yet, just a banner. The shopping center looks new as well. I never knew Sonics were drive-​in restaurants because we don’t have them in the bay area… but I knew that I’ve always wanted to eat at one because I always see the commercials… and now the commercials make more sense because they seem to always take place in a car. You place your order into the sign/​menu that you park next to and a roller skating server comes and brings ur food. I think it’s so cool that they roller skate over to your car with the food. It takes you back to before I was even born when they were doing this as an everyday thing. I tried my husband’s hamburger and it was pretty fresh. He said the meat was a lot better than any other fast food he’s ever had… the portions are pretty big as well. I got the chicken sandwich on the texas toast bread and it was really good! The fries are fresh and so are the onion rings. The batter on the rings were a little too sweet for me. I also got the reeses peanut butter cup sonic blast and that trumps a mcflurry any day. My husband got one of those slushy drinks and it was way too sweet and artificial for me. All in all it was really good and a fun experience.
