Sonic

I’m split down the middle. I’d rate the food at five stars. The breakfast sandwiches are the best I’ve had in town. Amazing.
Unfortunately, it is literally the exception rather than the rule that they get orders right. One star for the service. I don’t know if they haven’t been taught to check the orders before giving them, but it’s annoying to get home and find out the order is FUBAR.
Good food. Bad service. Average review.

There is NO common sense at this location. Ordered two corn dogs and a large cherry limeade. I thought the total was high (over $ 7), and when I get to the window I’m told I will get four corn dogs because they have a special buy-​one get-​one free. I tell the girl I don’t want or need four, and I ordered two, and why can’t she charge me for one and give me a free one, which is TWO. Dumbass proceeds to argue with me that I didn’t order one, I ordered two, so they will give me four. She REFUSES to give me the deal because «You didn’t say you wanted one, you said you wanted two.» Another woman (equally dumb and not mannered in customer service), comes over and tries to help. I explain what has happened and ask if I can pay for one and get one free. She tells me it’s my fault that u am getting four and not two because I didn’t say I wanted one corn dog. I asked if the buy one get one was posted anywhere? Crickets chirping. I finally am so pissed I tell them to give me my money back. I don’t pay for stupid. Both need to go back to Kindygarden and learn their numbers and basic addition. This was a scam!

This is one place I probably will never get old of. I always substitute a soda for a Strawberry limeade, which are THE best. Big size strawberries and of course crushed ice!
The service is pretty fast. Got my food within minutes!
Perfect drive-​in pay method.
The burgers are usually loaded with lots of ketchup and mayo so that’s why I’m putting 4 stars

Went there on a sunday morning and was met by a sonics employee yelling at all 20 of us for not using one machine at the drive in our at the patio. Obviously, we college students needed typo split the bill so why not order on 4 separate machines? I have never been yelled at at a drive thru EVER. We took our business elsewhere. Yay Steak N’ Shake!!!

Oh, Sonic. My biggest love-​hate relationship with any food place. The drinks are all pretty great and live up to the hype, although they could put in more drink and less ice.
The food and service are a bit more all over the place.
The burgers are actually pretty great for fast food, certainly a step up from McDonalds and the like. The other standout menu items are the tots and the coneys. The rest of the menu ranges from good (popcorn chicken) to decent (cheddar bites) to terrible (onion rings). The breakfast items are all decent but nothing special.
The service at this particular location is the most frustrating thing about the place. Sometimes it’s fine, even above average, but once every few times ever single part of the process will be screwed up. waiting ten minutes to get buzzed in at the drive-​in when there is no line, frequently mixing up limeade types, or forgetting to put patties on hamburgers. All of this has happened multiple times. Also, a few times the food runner has waited around for a tip… it was awkward to say the least.

Yuuuum! I will always prefer this over McDonald’s next door. I usually only order from the dollar menu and only a few times has my burger been made kind of sucky. The fries are hit & miss tho. USUALLY their on the softer side. I like when their kind of crispy on the outside. BUT ITS OKAY. If you utilize Happy Hour & Value/​Dollar menu, you get can a drink, sandwich, & fry for under $ 3.
Oh, I don’t think I need to write about the drinks. They’re
. You have so much to choose from depending on your taste. Lemon-​Berry slushie is like the go to slushie if you really can’t decide. I like the cherry flavor too. I usually get a Raspberry Sweet (Iced) Tea, I literally cannot even explain how delicious this drink is.
Their iced coffee is good too. Really sweet. But too expensive for my liking.
I almost always go in the drive-​in too. It’s the only drive-​in fast food place I’ve been at for over 10 years.

Yeah. I have a weak spot for their drink (esp the ice they use), tots, corn dogs, wraps and range in the menu overall. It’s nice to have more of an option than just a sandwich when you go to a fast food spot.

Actually the food only gets 3 stars, but when you add the incredible assortment of drinks, shakes, and slushies, then they get at least one more!
We stop in for slushies and chili-​cheese tater-​tots more often than anything else. (But the foot-​long conies are good too!)
I enjoy the drive-​in thing too, too few of them left.

Sonic onion rings are a crime against nature. They are dipped in cake batter or Bisquik or something similarly sugary. For a place that prides itself on having such a wide menu, I cannot believe they screw this pooch so badly and with such little apparent remorse. Bleck.

Sonic is the greatest fast food chain in existence. We here in Chicago are still waiting for them to open up franchises and they cannot open soon enough for me. I just recently took a trip to visit the U of I campus and stopping at Sonic for lunch was definitely on the itinerary. Good food, good prices, good service. You cannot ask for more. Plus they have cherry limeade, possibly the greatest drink ever concocted. I bought a RT44 (their biggest size drink) of cherry limeade just so I could sip it for the entire drive back to Chicago.

This place is deliciously delightful! I drove the 120 miles each way to experience it since they won’t stop advertising in Chicagoland, and I think it was worth the trip. Cream Pie Shakes — OMG to DIE for! Ocean Water — DELICIOUS! Slushies — AWESOME! Their frito burrito/​wrap thing was incredible as well, the burger was HUGE, fries were great, and I can’t remember what else I had, but I had a lot to make the drive worthwhile. There’s so much to try, and I haven’t had a bad thing yet. Also, they’re opening up 4 more near Chicago this year — YAY Sonic!

The RT44 orange slush (with extra syrup) is to die for. It’s huge, icy, sugar water, but damn, it’s delicious. The hotdogs are pretty good too. Other than that, I’m not too experienced with the menu so I can’t say a lot.
