Sonic Drive-In

For what it is, five stars! Always quick and courteous. The drinks are well mixed, the fries are hot and it’s a great little pick me up.
If you’re not familiar with Sonic, drop in. Servers on skates and drive in ordering. Malts, milk shakes, smoothies and slushes. Plus a ton of fun flavor combos from the soda fountain. I like it.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the peanut butter milkshake!
Their customer service on the other hand could use some serious adjustments. They’re not so friendly or helpful there in Medford/​Central Point. I’ve visited on several occassions and keep waiting for this wonderful moment to happen… i give up.
If there was a way to get this milkshake and bypass the people i would.

The cheese burger is ok not that great. I would go to McD. Concept is interesting. It’s a restaurant without seats inside. It’s a drive in setting. It’s cool on summer days I guess. On a cold day, it really sucks to eat here because it means you have to eat in your car. I don’t like getting the car dirty. Onion rings are ok. The soft drink… Well I ordered ice tea and it seriously full of ice. Well it is made of real tea but I think it makes sense in a way tea with full of ice = ice tea.
Not great probably won’t come back. I will try other sonic location to compare.

This was the worst sonic experience I’ve ever had. They had charged me $ 39 for food that was worth $ 12. Aparaently they had orders mixed up on two different stalls. If I hadn’t caught the charge I would have walked away paying more than double the amount that my food was worth. They have really bad customer service. They were trying to cancel the charge to my account even though it was already charged and try to charge me the $ 12 my food is worth. I don’t want my food nor do I ever want to eat at this sonic again. Worst sonic ever!

We had a Sonic in Petaluma, CA as a kid, so when we passed by this one on the way from SF to Seattle, we popped in to try it out. The service was fairly quick. The food was hot, tater tots were crunchy, and the sweet tea was pretty good. I would put the quality of Sonic as fairly high for a fast food burger.

I love sonic! That’s really all there is to know. Their toaster are delicious, I would like to try the breakfast one. We usually sneak through here on the way home for one of their blaster, a medium is good enough to share! Delicious!

fast friendly service, awesome island fire burger, lovely cherry limeade, we will definitely come back again!

Stopped for quick food on the go while on a road trip. Kids were SUPER angry they no longer offer a toy in the kids meals, and they don’t have any sort of signage saying so… Small things, I know, but when traveling 9+ hrs in a car, Cranky kids =not a fun trip. Food was lukewarm at best, drinks were the same, add that to poor service, and I was not a happy camper. We have been to other Sonic Restaurants before (AZ, CA, other OR locations) and never had such poor food or bad service.

Love the workers (4 stars) here but have a serious issue with how much oil drips out of one zesty cheesesteak (down to 2 stars). I spoke with the manager and showed her my hubby’s shirt (see photo). Since I had ordered the same sandwich, I told her my concerns about SO much grease and she offered to make me a different sandwich. (Back to 4 stars). Thanks to Lisa, the manager, we left as happy campers :)

Great deals on kids meals, and a fun place to grab a quick bite for the family.

Been there 4 different times and ordered 4 different things all of them were terrible. Would not recommend to anyone!

Ok where do I start with this place…
Their food to be honest is hit and miss seemingly dependent on the way the planets are aligned. Sometimes the food is great sometimes and sometimes really, really bad.
The service at this one is better then the one in Medford which I will never be going to again but that is another story for another review.
Go there expecting fast food service and drive thru food and you probably wont be setting your self up for disappointment unless you are comparing to a place such as In-​N-​Out.

We were 4 for 4 on Sonic orders, 4 orders, 4 wrong! (Two in Reno and two in Medford)
Not exactly what we were going for. 100% FAIL!
The Medford location is a special disappointment, lousy food, lousy service, and today was no exception.
We have sat at a call in window for 15 minutes with no staff response, nothing! At one point, I could see someone looking at us through the drive through window, but did not respond or come out (we thought perhaps the speaker was broken) That day, we eventually left and went to Quizno’s next door.
But today, the service was prompt, food was out quickly and was actually what we ordered. WOO HOO! But, the tater tot/​fries things they serve were deep fried in old oil or something else that was nasty, because our chili cheese «fries» and side of «fries» were both gross. Inedible gross. Of course, no one asked if everything was OK while we sat at the spot.
I took my tray back and was going to tell them about how nasty the «fries» were, but no staff came out while I stood for a few minutes outside the «employees only» door the carhops use.
But at least they got the order right, improvement has been noted, but the quality of food was off.
I hear so many great things about Sonic, I just cannot seem to hit it at the right time to get that experience.

My daughter and I drove up to the order intercom and waited-​for 10 minutes. During that time we heard music playing and saw parked cars being served. Also, during that time, we tried to get someone’s attention by calling out, «Hello? Anyone there? Are you closed?» We gave up and drove to the window. Again, we were ignore. We pulled into one of the drive-​in spots and again, nothing-​even after we pushed the «order» button. Finally a voice came on and asked for our order. We complained about being ignored and the very young sounding male voice said, «Oh, sorry. I had my headset turned off.» We placed our order and waited-​another 10 minutes. During this time, two cars placed orders at the drive through, got their food and left. I finally got out of the car and headed towards the building. I guess they saw that I was coming and that I was mad. The, again very young, girl came charging out with our order. No apology, nothing except a total amount due for the order. I guess if you are young and don’t care about customer service or doing your job properly, you should go work at the Central Point Sonic-​it would be perfect for you. By the way, the smoothie my daughter got wasn’t blended at all and had fruit chunks so large that she had to come home and eat it with a spoon. And, my chilli cheese fries order was only half filled-​which I didn’t find out until we finally got home. Don’t waste your time or money! Tomorrow I call the store manager… I doubt if they would hear the phone ring tonight or even take the time to answer it if they did! DC

Growing up in Northern California, you see those Sonic Drive-​In ads on TV. There are no Sonics in the Bay Area.
I was convinced that Sonic was a made up joint– that the commercial was commissioned by the Republican National Committee with an embedded subliminal message.
We were pleased to find a real Sonic– this one in Central Point, Ore., just off of Interstate 5 between Grants Pass and Medford. It was our first Sonic experience, and it was goooood. The drive-​ins are just that, drive-​ins, just like back in the day. You order at your car window, pay via credit card at the window, and the staff roller-​skates the food over to your car. Good burgers, great onion rings and a killer cherry limeade.
