💖 A True Human Connection: The Meal That Gave Me Hope It’s hard to talk about the really rough days, the ones spent struggling with homelessness and just trying to survive. Today was one of them. I was so hungry, and when I was given $15, I knew I had to get something good. I chose Sonic on San Jacinto—a place I’d always looked at from the outside, feeling like I didn't belong. I ran for the bus and missed it. Standing there, out of breath and utterly defeated, the bright lights of Sonic were almost painful. I felt so low. But then, an angel walked up: ALLISON, the biggest superstar I've ever met. Seeing me standing at a stall without a car, she didn't judge; she showed me unconditional kindness. She invited me inside the store to sit down and dine in. That simple invitation—that gesture of treating me like any other valued person—changed everything. It changed a sad, deflated day into one where I could proudly sit, take a breath, and eat the most delicious food I’ve ever had (a Footlong Coney and a Lemonade Slush). I spent all my $15, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The food was amazing, but the dignity ALLISON gave me was priceless. ALLISON is the powerful proof that kind people do exist. She is a model employee and an expert in customer care because she leads with her heart. She didn't just serve a customer; she shared humanity. I can't wait to come back. Kindness is everything.

I order the number 10 and 6 combo in the drive through this afternoon at 12:06pm. I paid and got my drinks first and waited about 30 minutes in the drive through line where people started honking and leaving while I had to wait since I wasn't going to leave without the food that I paid for and I noticed the employees stepping outside to help the people behind me and both the manager and employees looked very stressed out. I did end up getting my food and the employee apologized for the long wait. I am also sad to say that the food tasted stale.

The food is always overcooked and too salty. We love the ice cream though.

Went during 2 to 5 Happy Hour for 1/2 soft drinks, and slushies. Service was excellent. Thank You!
Another bad experience with this damn place. Placed an order for 4 small drinks waited 35 minutes and no one was coming so I decided to go in and get my money. When a worker decided to help me, I showed her my receipt and told her I would like a refund. She went to the back and said that I hadn’t paid and I knew I did just because one of the other workers came out to take my card and process the payment so she went to go take another look, and she finally found my order, but nobody was making it and she didn’t know what happened. Very lazy work ethic.

I asked for easy ice for my unsweetened ice tea. Gabby gives me my drink with no ice and so I ask her if she can please add ice. I’m not sure if she got upset about that , but she returns my drink to me with a broken lid. I didn’t notice till after I left and I went to take a drink and of course my tea spilled on my electronic controlled panel. I feel there’s definitely no professionalism and lack of good quality customer service

Sonic is pretty good except for the plastic cups that leak! Leaky cups are not good.
