Been going for a few months, it's better to go inside as you wait a very long time for anyone to take your order at the drive-thru and takes about another 15 minutes for them to even get your order out. Last night I ordered a breakfast burrito and cherry slush, of course the slushie didn't take long but I sat and waited for one burrito for 10 minutes... isn't this fast food? I go home to only find out they made my order completely wrong, had to take the onions, tomatoes and jalapenos out of it. What are we doing?

Stopped by first time. Waited and waited at drive thru no one there. Finally went to window, lady did not even look at us. Possibly short staffed? We finally drove iff. Saw 3 other cars drive off after us while we were at corner. Terrible.

Food wasn't that good and the service wasn't much better. I have had it before and really enjoyed it but this time wasn't so pleased. Not to mention the prices are insane.

This place is just okay. Had a chili cheese dog b/c I was craving it and it was on special. Good deal but too salty for me. One and done was enough. I have gotten their wraps which is okay. I would get them again if I need a quick snack and I was nearby.

I asked for an extra spoon and straw because they only gave my friend one and they told me “No, you don’t get a straw”. I was livid and taken aback. Never have I ever experienced such rude and disrespectful service from this franchise ever. Also was rude and snappy taking our order. Don’t come here unless you want bad service and NO SPOONS OR STRAWS!!!

Typical corporate response. Nothing of any substance, just deferral.

Food and service were great (unlike McDonalds) but the prices are just as bad. 2 Basic burgers, 2 med. shakes and 1 med. onion ring…$33!
Eat home people! It’s cheaper, healthier and creates bonding with family and friends.

Pulling into the drive-thru at Sonic, I was optimistic. All I wanted were three drinks. Simple, right? Spoiler alert: wrong. What should’ve been a quick refreshment stop turned into an accidental audition for a patience marathon.
At the window stood Elijah, our cashier, who I’m convinced time-traveled straight from a 1999 casting call for Dude, Where’s My Car?—complete with the dazed expression, shaggy vibe, and that endearing-but-perplexing “whoa, dude” energy. If Ashton Kutcher and a Slurpee machine had a baby, it might just be Elijah.
He blinked at me like I’d just asked him to explain quantum physics when I reminded him we were just waiting on three drinks. After a lengthy, soul-searching pause, he nodded in slow motion and disappeared into the Sonic abyss, presumably to battle a dragon or maybe just locate some ice.
20 minutes later, our three overpriced, underwhelming beverages emerged—warm-ish, watery, and wildly unsatisfying. One tasted like flat regret, another like it had been whispered to by fruit at some point in its life, and the third may have just been soda with stage fright.
Honestly, if you enjoy a nostalgic detour into the land of stoner comedies and enjoy paying premium prices for mid-tier hydration, this is your spot. Otherwise, bring snacks, a calendar, and maybe a podcast to pass the time. Sonic, I love your commercials—but this performance was definitely more dude, where's my drink?
Oh yeah, happy hour only applies when you use their app now... Annoying!
