Absolutely terrible sonic, go anywhere but here. stay away 1) ordered online, app said park in any stall. parked in a normal stall, got told next time i need to park in the mobile pickup spot? what does it matter? the place wasn't busy at all. 2) route 44 ocean water was all carbonated water and coconut flavoring, no sprite at all. had to go through the drive through and have this fixed to a normal coke that was not much better. 3) ordered a triple smasher plain with mayo only, got it with ketchup and mustard and mayo. really? do we not know how to follow instructions? I asked for things removed, that should make the job of making the burger EASIER, had to have this remade at the drive through as well. 4) ordered a full size Frito burrito, came out as the smallest burrito iv ever seen,

Usually only come here for the drinks but today we ordered food for dinner. Sat the the car port for 15 minutes with no answer. Went the the drive thru and waited another 30-40 minutes because no one was answering the speakers. Got home (live about 2 minutes away) and our food was ICE COLD. The "chili cheese wrap" was SAD for the amount of money they want for it!! See the cheese and how its not melted? Yeah, COLD FOOD! So annoying waiting that long for dinner and coming home to not be able to enjoy dinner. Last time ordering food there!!

If I could put 0 I would. I pulled in 15 minutes before “closing” (website says 1 it was 11:45) and only wanted a soda and fried. Sat at the car hop for 5 minutes before anyone answered, was told they be right with me. I sat there for 5 minutes then decided the drive thru would be easier. Pulled through the drive through and was told I’ll be right with you. It is now 4 minutes before closing and was asked “is your order light we are closing” stated I just sat at the car hop for 10 minutes and was asked what my order was and told them no one took it. The guy doesn’t respond so I just say never mind and leave. There were 2 other cars and this is now the 2nd time this has happened the first it was at 6pm

Honestly we were excited about visiting sonic. But this one specifically was terrible. The restaurant was empty (we should have left then), the floors covered in grease and were slippery. The tv screens - 1 was working. 1 was off (broken) and it appeared 1 or 2 were gone. The male staff member was fantastic. However we ordered our youngest a grilled cheese and they gave him a burger. We didnt want to make a scene so I tossed the burger and purchased a grilled cheese. The tots were tasty. The food otherwise was blah.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Christopher Knapp · Nov 2025

I thought my local Sonic was slow. Not fast food nor grab a quick bite. 12 minutes from the time we pulled in to the time we received our food. I can say it was all hot. However, the fries were over cooked and the chicken was chewy, like it had been microwaved. My slushy was white on the inch at top like they didn't squirt in enough strawberry juice. Sonic never seems to impress me except for the pretzel, 1/2 price drinks and the 99¢ corn dog sale. Why do I keep going back?????
