Sonic

I love their burgers and tots. The only thing I don’t like about this location is that they’re slow. I usually have to wait about 10 mins to get my food through the drive thru.

Yum! First time eating at a sonic. Being from NYC we are teased with commercials only. The service was quick and adequate. I did wish the menu was a little easier to navigate maybe more clear to understand with descriptions, I felt a little lost and had to google sonics website menu to get a better idea. The food was piping hot when it arrived to our car window. Delicious and sinful! Hot dog bun was a little soggy, and the kids chicken tender meal only came with two very small tenders. Perfect for my hardly eats anything toddler, but might fall short for other kids at $ 3.99.

Slow service, my hot dog bun was soaked in pickle/​relish juice — didn’t hold up when i tried to pick it up, the kids working there messed up my order then took their time to correct it…

Worst. Customer. Service. EVER. We went there last night and ordered three drinks from our vehicle. After 30 minutes of waiting, I went to the front of the store to ask what the hold up was. They informed me that they were very busy and would be bringing them out to us right away. FIFTEEN minutes later, we buzzed them from our vehicle and they informed us that the dining area was closed now and if we wanted to order anything, the drive-​thru was open.
My husband told them that ‘we already placed our order — FORTY-​FIVE MINUTES ago.’ The man on the other side of the box asked him «What did you order?» My husband told him about our three drinks. The man then asked «what kind did you order?» At that point, we left and went to Dairy Queen and got excellent service, even though they were just as busy.
I would highly recommend NOT going to this location. There are other Sonic locations in the cities — go to one of those instead. Very disappointing service.

Sonic seems to create a love hate relationship with most everyone that goes there. The good can usually be consistently good, but the service can go from 5 minutes to 35 minutes in a heartbeat.
It’s conveniently located on Suburban which is like a nice long strip mall of fast food, grocery stores (from Aldi to Byerly’s!) with a Pawn American and plasma place thrown in so it’s got something for everyone.
The tator tots are always a sure thing at Sonic and I’ve never had them be bad. Burgers can sometimes be a little off, but it’s also dependent on who is working there. Just like with the length of service as there can be 5 people running around inside taking orders, but not knowing how to be more efficient.
Basically Sonic is great for that binge treat when you want it, but be prepared to wait sometimes. Especially if you’re ordering breakfast. They seem to cook to order which is nice, but almost all the breakfast items taste like they were rolled in salt.

When I’m in the mood to venture away from a sitdown restaurant, keeping it simple with Sonics never disappoints. The best tater tots
are found here!

Seriously, This store is a hot mess. The employees were rude, and I waited 10 minutes at the service window, with no one acknowledging me. I finally asked why it was taking so long and the girl at the window ROLLED HER EYES and got her manager who said they were waiting on popcorn chicken, for 10 minutes… while my other food was already made and getting cold. Anyways. I have my food now and I’m irritated so I pull out of the drive thru and get home. I realize I have NO sauces. NONE. WHO SERVES MOZZARELLA STICKS WITHOUT SAUCE!!! Or even popcorn chicken without sauce! So really pissed off at this point I reach out to the company. The District Manager reached out to me, offered me a gift card. Which I haven’t gotten yet. and when I emailed inquiring about it I got a rude response. So if I were you I would avoid this place like the plague. There are plenty of other fast food joints in the area who will probably serve you food without rolling their eyes at you.
I however, will be waiting until I travel out of town before I visit another Sonics. I’ve lived in Kansas and have visited many other areas and eaten at their other locations. Most of the other locations have been wonderful. So if you have a chance to eat at Sonics, you should. Just not this one.

Service is inconsistent. This is my third time visiting in the past 3 weeks and every time I’ve ordered it has been incorrect the wait time it’s been at least 15 to 20 minutes each time. Compared to my visits at other Sonics in other state locations this has been far the worst experience I’ve had. Today at Sonic at this location would probably be the best of all three visits accept it was still wasn’t a standard that I’ve had at other sonic locations around the US. My visit today at the sonic location I had the experience pleasure of the car hop named Stephanie. For customer service was excellent but the order was incorrect from a person that took my order. I chose not to press the red button and request my order be fixed I did not want to wait and waste my time for another delay.

Had the Chilli dog and the NY style dog. Both were great. Fast friendly service.

Food is ok. Anyone who says your burgers are anywhere in the league of Culver’s, needs their head and taste buds examined. Drive through is very slow. Fries, tots and hot dog are below average! This is a good place for people that grew up without a good cook around!

Dear Sonic,
I don’t care what the other reviewers say about you, you’ll always have a place in my heart. I have visited you to get nothing more than a Diet Cherry Limeade and been satisfied. How do you get your ice so small? Why is it infinitely better that way? I love your tots especially with chili and cheese on them, as unhealthy as it may be. While your chicken sandwich leaves something to be desired, your drink & dessert menu will keep me coming back. I can’t quit you.
Love, Jacque

I used to love Sonic when I lived in New Mexico and I could not wait until we got Sonic here.
I don’t know if its just not the same because I can’t look out on the Santa Fe Mountains while I eat my Chili Cheese Coney and Tots anymore or what but it just feels and tastes different.
I still do love the Happy Hour 2 for 1 drink specials and once in a while I do crave the chili cheese coney but I more than likely do not come here for a meal anymore.
The staff is always friendly so no complaints there but I just think I might have outgrown the food. With other options in the area like Davanni’s and even Arby’s, I more than likely will not come here unless its Happy Hour.

One star for the food — five stars for the drinks! Ocean Waters and cherry limeades.

I had my first Sonic experience when I was on my externship in NC. I loved it!
I was really excited to see one finally opened up in the city. Ehhhhh… it was ok.
It’s just a step up from Mcdonald/​BK.
Food there is still greasy but they offer a variety of mixed (non-​alcoholic) drinks and treats. I also like how they serve breakfast items too.
This is the kind of food that you can only eat once in a while cause it’s a heart attack waiting to happen.

With Culver’s being a stone’s throw away, not sure why you’d go here. It’s better than McDonald’s and co but so is my left foot.
Where Sonic excels are the novelty/​treat/​sides. Pretty good and unique stuff. Just wasn’t really impressed by the burgers. Not bad, not great.

I apologize in advance for this, but…
…it’s chronic! And I can’t believe somebody else didn’t say it first.
I’ve been to Sonic a total of two times in my life and the last time was over 6 months ago. But suddenly out of nowhere, I’m fantasizing about Sonic tots and ice.
Tots and ice. Tots and ice. Tots and ice.
That mantra is highly distracting and I’m having difficulty thinking about anything else at the moment.
Don’t know what I’m talking about? Go get some.

this place sent me into labor! we waited in line in the drive thru for over an hour opening day. i work across the street so it was exciting. finally got our food at 8. messed up our order but it was still good. i was 9 months pregnant i would’ve eaten anything they put in front of me. devoured our meals. dont care much for their fries but love their tots.
at exactly midnight my water broke. with my other 2 kids i was always starving during labor. even tho i had eaten beforehand. not this time. i wasn’t even hungry when i popped the kid out. they brought me some food and I was all no thanks I had sonic.
i still go here before work when i’m craving a burger but the drive thru can be really slow if other cars are in front of you. thankfully they haven’t messed my order up since: D

While it’s still a fast food burger joint, I’ve gotta Unilocal the drive-​in sensibility of Sonic, and the burgers aren’t too bad, really. They are my fav for fast food, surpassing Culvers.
But it’s all the drinks. I first had the diet-​cherry limeade in St. George, Utah a few years go and it’s my all time favorite drink anywhere. There are syrups and flavors to add in so you can get a real cherry coke, they load up the flavored drinks with fruit and there are a ton of flavored add-​ins! And it gets better: from 2 to 4 p.m. all drinks, including the orange Dreamsicle®-like cream slush, are half priced!
I get to thinking… one could bring along a little airline bottle and make a Vodka Sonic with that cherry limeade or lemonade slush. Ha ha. Well no, that would be ILLEGAL unless you are in Louisiana (drive thru dacquiri stand anyone?) so bring the drink home and then enjoy with your favorite add-​in libation.

I finally decided to give it another shot after the last time I burned a gallon of gas at $ 4. a gallon only to find out you can only get take out after a certain hour. I went because I saw the ad on TV It’s better after dark. Boy, did I wish I had the money to burn on nuisance lawsuits. If that wasn’t false advertising, nothing was. I was comped another meal. I go because I love drive in dining. My carhop, Travis was great and very helpful and attentive. Some of them skate, some don’t. I got a burger, my way. I like that you can get a value meal and aren’t just stuck with fries or tots. For 1.50 you can get jalopeno poppers, which I love. A few other cars were there, peaceful, and no hysteria. I’m sick of the #1 and#2 burger joints shrinking their portions and the quality they once had.

Thank God Sonic has finally come to Minnesota.
Good things to order: Chili Cheese Fries, the Sonic Burger, a Chili Cheese Wrap (aka a Frito Burrito), and a Blue Coconut Cream Slush. Eat any and all of these things and you will move to a higher plane of being.
I don’t know how long the wait is now — I know that for the first few months after it opened, the place was like mania. Really, they just need to build a few more around the metro area, I think.
They did forget to give us a fry that we ordered when we went for the first time but that can be accounted for by the fact that every single car that was at Sonic when it opened was totally full and ordered like $ 20+ of food, which is completely abnormal for any fast-​food restaurant. I’m assuming that has all been sorted out by now.
They also have some sort of «happy hour,» but I’m unsure as to what the details of that are.
