Sonic

I don’t usually waste my time writing reviews for fast food chains because, well, they’re fast food chains. But, this Sonic is exceptionally terrible. I have always had a bit of respect for Sonic because I love their slushes, but this location can’t even get those right. I’ve only gone to this location about three times and I will not be returning. The first two times I went they got the wrong flavors for both of the dessert drinks that I ordered. Not even close to what we asked for. Not to mention the drive-​through attendant was extremely rude and when I asked him to give me a moment he asked me if I was ready in a rude tone multiple times within about 10 seconds of each other. This time I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. I have sat here for 20 minutes trying to find something that I can compare the texture of the «meat» to, but I am stumped. The chicken was nice and thick, but trying to bite through it was extremely difficult as the texture was kind of a crunchy (mind you, it was grilled), rubbery consistency? It was so bad I felt like it was not something my body would even know how to digest, so I threw it out. I’m still shuddering.

I like this place. It’s not in the high rent district of Buckeye, but I think downtown Buckeye has an undeserved bad rep anyway. There’s a charm that I find missing in the bigger ratrace areas. There is a lot to be said when I can run to get milk at Circle K or Walgreens wearing my son’s Slipknot t shirt and leggings with my hair in a frazzle because, YES, it’s Buckeye… and we don’t have to impress anybody! Boy did I digress.
Anyway my husband and I were picking up our car from Don Lalo’s shop nearby and we brought the kids here to Sonic. How those cute girls get around on those skates with those trays of food, I don’t know and give them a lot of credit. The burgers were great and cooked the way I like them, no gristle either (one bite of gristle, and that’s all folks… I’m done. Yuk.) I love the crunchy golden tater tots, probably not the healthiest thing in the world to eat but they are delish. My son had a vanilla milkshake that looked wonderful, it must have been good because he wasn’t sharing. We sat outside in the gorgeous March afternoon, and while there isn’t much by way of scenery, it reminded me of the old time drive-​ins I went to as a child in CA. The only thing that wasn’t too great was that the drive thru is situated where you get a blast of exhaust fumes if you are sitting in the patio area. But nonetheless, whenever we are in the area, it’s a nice little place to stop by. Probably best that we live on the other side of Buckeye, as those tater tots and Cherry-​limeade would become a daily craving.

Worst service ever extremely slow no matter what u order and what time of day or hour of the day you go. Shouldn’t take 20+ mins for one soda in the drive thru during non happy hour specials.

I really don’t like Sonic. People hype it up to be the best fast food out there, but it’s really nothing special. High prices, long waits– Not worth it. We specifically asked for no pickles on two of the burgers and there were indeed pickles on them. Paid damn near $ 30 for mediocre food. Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.
The one thing I absolutely love about Sonic though is their mozzarella sticks and the happy hour slushes. Other than that, I’d definitely choose another place over this.

This Sonic is not to far from where I live. I haven’t had any problems with the service or the food either. There isn’t ever big line in the drive thru or a long wait on orders. The driver thru is a little tricky and you gotta make sure you don’t hit the curbs while turning in it.
