Sonic Drive-In

Had to stop by Sonic before leaving Arizona.
I don’t like writing reviews on chains but I had to for Sonic.
tater tots with chili. yum.

Love sonic usually go there a few times a week, however today my experience was less than pleasant they made my drink wrong and then replaced it with the drink I actually ordered but it was only ¾ full with the nerd candy just dropped right on top not mixed in or anything. And the other slushi I ordered doesn’t even barely have flavor. Sad cuz I go here all the time but this is the second time I have had a problem with them. On the other occasion I ordered the sonic burger and it had no flavor to the meat the bread was soggy and it was all burnt and smooshed and tasted terrible but now something has happened twice so I guess I will be avoiding sonic for awhile

I like the new slush flavors mixed with vodka!
Service is always good, and I just discovered the drive-thru…odd, I know, but I just figured a place where you drive up, park, order from your car and the staff brings your food, why would you have a drive-​thru?
So, I tried it! You drive up, order from your car, park, and the staff brings your food to you… hmmm.
I’ll keep coming back for the Lemonberry slush, anyway.

Pulled up to drive thru @ 820pm tonight, first and only car in line, sitting waiting to order and no one acknowledged our presence, more waiting. …figured they may be having technical difficulties with drive thru speaker (but no out of order sign posted) …waited. .3 cars show up behind us, after about 6 min we roll up to drive thru waiting area to see what may be the issue. See all staff outside talking to people, hanging out, more waiting as we try & get their attention to alert them to what we think may be a problem. Nobody looks up… after about 5 min, a young man finally turns around. …looks and runs back inside. We pull back around, now the 4^th car inline & Magically the drive thru speaker is on…
Terrible service, nobody managing what is going on. We left down the street to subway!

Sonic is great. Great beverages and treats. This particular location is good. I have never had any issues with them.

Pros: My best friend was here for a visit from VA, where they don’t have this fast food restaurant. She has actual cravings for their drinks and jalapeño poppers. She loved them. I got a diet Route 44 strawberry limeade. Very refreshing. Fast service.
Cons: Greasy fast food. I prefer McDonald’s fries.

Somehow I always end up moving or helping a friend move in the dead heat of a Phoenix summer. This is the only time I want a soda, and the only time I really go to Sonic. Summertime + moving = Rt 44 Diet Cherry Limeaide.

I always feel silly reviewing a huge chain, but my service here last week was so friendly and great I had to get my Unilocal on!
They offer several manager’s specials and of course half-​priced drinks and other various specials depending on time of day. I was picking up some grub for a buddy who had been helping me with man stuff at my house all day, and got him a humungous M&M Sonic Blast. They also put up with my special request to add caramel sauce to said Blast. (‘Cause it wasn’t unhealthy enough yet???). They also gave me ample ketchup for the two orders of tots I got. There’s nothing worse than getting home to realize there’s just not enough.
There was a small young-​ish family sitting outside and the awesome carhop, Elizabeth, brought out a handful of balloons for the kiddos. Who can resist a balloon?!?
Warning: you cannot leave a tip on a credit card payment. I HATE that… especially when there is no warning. I’m left feeling like a d-​bag cheapskate, but luckily Elizabeth took it in stride as she didn’t have enough change to break the only paper money I had on me.

Sonic use to be so good. I miss the fire island burger they use to have many years ago. That was their best burger.
This location’s food was not worth the stop. Burger was dry, bacon was burned beyond belief (see pic), toast wasn’t even toasted, and the tater tots were super salty. The cranberry sprite I got was good but that was the only refreshing thing I received.
Will not go back.

Wow really bad service tonight! The lady was rude and cut me off 3 times. Then i asked a simple question and was ignored until I pushed the button and got another girl on the intercom. Really disappointed.
