Sonic Drive-In

Hey, the place deserves better than 2 ½ stars… The food is good. Burgers, wings, hot dogs. They have good shakes and slushes … The prices are decent. They have some good specials (like the two for one boneless wing special that they just ended) They have service right to your car. and they have tater tots. What’s not to like?

Join the sonic club! Do it! Do it now!
Especially if you live any where near this place the deals are great. Keep in mind this review is acknowledging the fact that this is a fast food restaurants.
Food: What you would expect — go here only for the deals.
Service: Terible.

Came here yesterday after a workout, super thirsty and seeking a beverage. Pulled into the drive thru which I saw had a couple of cars.
After waiting 15 minutes and my car pulling forward only once, I left. This Sonic needs to get with the program on how to deal with managing orders and the drive thru.

We went there and got dinner waited 10 minutes got our food and we thought we were thinking fresh food but instead we got cold fries, cold Tatar tots and everything was just gross you think when your paying $ 30 for a meal it would be good but it wasn’t!!! We called to tell them not wanting anything for free but to let them know and it didn’t even seem like hey cared!!! Would not recommend anyone to this place!!!

Why did I go back? My coworker wanted to go there and I tagged along.
I ordered a number 10, chicken strips, Coke and fries. The fries were barely warm, the chicken strips were old, they tasted old and the meat was dry. Even Walmart has better chicken strips in their deli.
I will never go to Sonic again. I’ve learned my lesson. The food is disgusting.

I’ll start off with saying that Sonic is a really cool concept and what they offer is very expansive. But MAN, their products DO NOT look like those 2 buffoon’s food in the commercials.
The food is tasty… at times… and leaves you indisposed in the restroom for awhile after eating it. Anything ice cream related is hard to digest, even for the lactose-​tolerant!
The only saving grace is the low prices of Happy Hour and the fantastic drink menu. After long workout, or day in the sun, a 44oz powerade is ideal.
I wouldn’t recommend this place for the food or a first date, unless you want the powerade thrown in your face.

Be careful. I went to sonic on Thursday night. She «forgot» to give me my card. I didn’t realize until friday morning. I went back and got my card. Today my bank called me because I have fraud on my acct. Just make sure the server gives you back your card.

Love that I can get their ice in bags. Thank You Sonic!

I don’t know guys.
Not sure what the hype is all about.

Very disappointed. First, they are very «proud» of their food. Their food is terribly over priced for what it is.
It took the operator almost five minutes after I pressed the button before we were even helped.
When the food cane, the fries were HORRIBLE. They were cold and soggy. I ended up throwing them away after I couldn’t find anyone to bring it to their attention. The burger was also dry and flavorless. My kids ordered kids meals which did not come with the toy advertised.
Needless to say, we will never come to this Sonic again and honestly, probably won’t eat at the new one when it opens up in Poulsbo this fall.

Sadly, I came at the wrong time… no exaggeration, waited 9 minutes in a stall because I thought I could get out faster than in the drive thru. The flashing light got turned off by someone inside. Jerkies. When I ordered, she didn’t seem too concerned about the wait. I get it, I was customer #1000 but did the attitude have to reflect that? Granted it was half priced shakes but I didn’t order a shake. All my items were full price. Maybe it wouldn’t have been as bad had the car next to mine not had a boasting airbag that could take seem to stop talking about himself to the female passenger he was with. Who can avoid this place in the future? This gal right here.

The worst service ever yesterday. Ordered a number 1 and a number two, with two drinks, and french fries, and had to repeat the order 3 or 4 times. and then guess what. Instead of two french fries, we got one and one tater tots. Instead of blue raspberry and a Pepsi, we got blue raspberry and a blue slushy. And the burgers were wrong also. WTF? I speak English and enunciated clearly. This girl just wasn’t paying attention. Never realized the mistakes until we got home, 12 miles away.

Very rude and we came from JBLM just to have some sonic. The girl was rushing my husband when taking our order and she read the order back to him so fast it was like she was running a marathon. Never will come back here makes you wonder… I will wait until we get back to CA for sonic. Re train your dragons sonics!

Yeah, so, not coming back here. I do love a cherry limeade but this location is the worst I’ve ever visited. Fries were cold, well the fries we are were cold. We had one order of fries with a giant black curly hair right on top. Asked them to please get us a new order. They promptly came and took our old order of fries but we never got the replacement order. Was too scared to complain for fear of what kind of fries we would get if we did.
One of us got a coconut slush with pop rocks. The pop rocks AND the syrup were all at the bottom of the drink.
The cherry limeade was good. That’s about it. $ 30 for food for 4 — and it was pretty miserable.

A MAN’S MAN Review of Sonic Drive-​In
One of the few places that you can order your food from the seat of your car and pig out without ever stepping outside of it. It’s like an opportunity to cheat on your workout diet plan without anyone seeing you doing it unless they recognize your bucket while driving by Sonic. They were probably on their way to Sonic too but saw you there first so they kept on driving. BTW, how’s your New Year resolution going? Remember the one where you said «New me for 2015 and new goal to lose 20lbs before summer!» Sorry, I didn’t mean to put you on blast.
Back to my review of Sonic Drive-​In. I like how I can order my food from the seat of my car. There’s no rush to select what your going to get. Normally at any other drive thru you have others behind you so you can’t feast your eyes on the menu and give it a good thorough look before ordering. Your rushed. Well, here at good ol’ Sonic Drive-​In you pretty much have all the time in the world to look over the menu. When your ready to order you push the red button at the bottom of the menu with your fat stubby finger and hopefully the person on the other end isn’t having a bad day.
Once you’ve placed your order one of the servers will bring your food to your driver side door. Depending on weather they will be on roller skates.
The spicy super crunch chicken strips are a hit or miss. First time around it was fresh and really good. Yeah, I know I’m a fatty because I went to Sonic again the following day to get the same thing. The spicy super crunch chicken strips the second time around was super crunchy but that’s because it was dry and over-​cooked. So hit or miss.
My favorite item (s) on the menu are the Chicago hotdog or the Bacon & Cheese hotdog both on a regular bun. I’m special and I did ride the short yellow bus back in my elementary school days minus the styrofoam helmet so I always get my hotdogs in a regular bun. Not too fond of the pretzel or poppy seed buns. I just like to keep it gangster and prefer the old fashion steamed hotdog buns.
The Chicago hotdog is just delicious! Sport pepper, mustard, onions, relish, sliced tomatoes, celery salt, 100% beef dog. A combination of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty! Love it to pieces! Who doesn’t love bacon? Cheese sauce? The Cheesy Bacon pretzel dog is another fav! I’ve tried the hamburgers but it wasn’t a good one. Sonic is best known for it’s hotdogs, shakes, and beverages. If your thinking about burgers I’d skip Sonic and go somewhere else like Red Robin, Frugals, Lefty’s, or Best Burger nearby.
Sonic is good for the convenience of ordering from your car without the rush. Also good for the hotdogs, shakes, and different flavored beverages. Staff is courteous and location looks maintained. If you need to use the restroom the restrooms are located on the outside of the Sonic. Don’t attempt to go inside because that’s the kitchen and your going to get weird looks from the staff.
… and oh yeah for any man or woman looking to pig out and cheat on your diet this is the place.
Happy Hour I believe is between 2PM and 4PM. So it’s half off drink specials. Sorry, no alcohol beverages are sold here you drunk!

First time at Sonic and I went through the drive-​up window line. I looked at the menu and gave my order. For some reason the cashier repeated my order has being plain bacon cheeseburgers but I let it go by. Didn’t look at my order but when I got it home my wife asked where was the lettuce and tomatoes as shown on the online menu photo? I then realized what that order taker meant by plain burgers although I distinctly ordered the combo meal which came with lettuce and tomatoes.
The fact the burger lacked those toppings just highlighted how bland it was. With just some cheese, a little bacon and mayo to hide under, the patty was small and virtually tasteless. The buns were the typical pressed-​down buns of lesser burger joints. The fries were ordinary.
On a bright note, the service was fast.
I tried to call the manager to complain about our food order but the line was always busy, Always. There was a second phone number listed for her on the receipt. Called it but «the voice mailbox for this person has not been set up yet». So much for effective communication with your customers. This is a manager who doesn’t care about the quality of her operation or about the satisfaction of her customers.
Needless to say we won’t be back.

Was not even aware that there was a Sonic in our area so we were super excited. Our carhop Jenuine was a very friendly, efficient and even told us about the 44oz deal. She was very busy and she did not hesitate to get us an extra napkins and made sure we had what we needed. We loved the lil doggies they where the perfect size and very tasty. Do you back for sure!

They seriously need to replace the gal who takes the orders — «what else, what else» sorry but if I’m still ordering wait for me to finish before cutting me off. We waited –almost 20 minutes for our food. This isn’t fast by any means. This could be why we never come here. It takes too long.

Why are there not more Sonics in Washington ???
They are all over the south!
I love sonic!
We need more here in Washington they would do well!!!
Its always a good choice to come eat here!!!

SO when ordering a burger with ONLY _​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​whatever it is you want, they repeat back what you said, then go ahead and slap all their soggy wet lettuce and tomatoes on it, and heap on two handfuls of the onions that are SO strong that they could wilt a bouquet of roses at 20 paces. AND so after eating this ONION tear jerker of a burger, I went digging to the bottom of the bag for the Peppermints –because I could not stand my own breath – and there was NONE? See I have been eating at Sonic my whole life and peppermints are ALWAYS in the bag. You might fool people here who have not had a Sonic before but ya’ll need to check yourselves. And your onion rings? Oh no no no no send a few people to NC, AR, TX or TN so they can show ya’ll how to bread them up and cook them right.
Ok so you ask why did I not check the burgers before we drove off? we were in a hurry and didn’t even open the bag until we were too far away to go back… and NOW I know what I am dealing with here so bet on it… I will sit there and look at every single burger from now on. And P. S. I NEVER have a burger re-​made I don’t trust it. So I will be asking for a refund if its wrong, bet on it. As always I have attached photos. All I can think of is maybe all these people worked at McDonalds before coming here to Sonic? This is a McDonald’s style shenanigan.
Again burger loaded with damn onions tomatoes ketchup etc. why Sonic? WHY ???
