The visit to the Sonic was one that I will remember for quite some time. Upon arriving there were a couple of cars in the Drive-Thru. The line was moving very slowly and when I got to the order menu I wasn't greeted with a welcoming tone. I quickly ordered a triple smasher with no cheese and a medium onion ring. Was not given a total and was told to proceed to the window.
After serving a few customers and getting to the window, I was greeted with a total and not much else. I gave the employee my money and sat for 7 and 1/2 minutes waiting for my order.
I decided to eat at the restaurant. I pulled over into one of the stalls and noticed there was no trash in any stall and the grounds appeared to be kept very well. The menus look a little dated, but I suppose that it adds to the charm of the aesthetic that Sonic Drive-In is trying to achieve.
I then began to examine my meal. I immediately felt the heat coming from the onion rings which was refreshing considering I waited so long. I was highly disappointed by the temperature of my burger, when I reached for it in mythe bag. It was still wrapped and I could feel that it was cold. I had waited for 7 and 1/2 minutes for half a hot meal.
When I opened the packaging for the burger I noticed immediately that it looked dry and was not very well appointed. Your burgers themselves don't look so much as if they were smashed but flattened very thinly and then added onto the bun. One on top of the other. There was very little sauce on the burger. There were more onions than sauce, actually. I found the taste of the burger to be lackluster and not very good. The onion rings tasted a little too sweet for me. I wasn't a big fan of the fair I received.
Overall, I doubt I won't go back to any Sonic location. I've had Sonic before and this visit was to reevaluate my experiences with their chain. Equally, across all Sonic's that I have been to, the food has been pretty bad. I suppose it's more an atmosphere that you're paying for instead of the actual meal. I must admit the atmosphere is not that welcoming to begin with. I'm being generous with the two stars because I didn't very much feel that vibe that Sonic is supposed to give off and the food, well, enough cannot be said.
Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options on this menu are of onion rings, soft pretzel twist, mozzarella sticks, pots, cheddar peppers, and groovy fries. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend this place for vegetarians.
Dietary restrictions: You can order your items without cheese but why would you want to order anything from here?
Parking: If you're ordering food I would recommend taking the drive-thru. The stalls can get filled up pretty quickly at this location. There are not many other options to park and eat your food here.
Kid-friendliness: Families love the nostalgia of this place so it is very kid-friendly.
Wheelchair accessibility: As long as you're eating in your car you should be fine, if you are normally in a wheelchair.

It was ok was disappointed in my cheeseburger it had no taste and had to send my overly fried onion rings back only to get a new batch almost as bad. I will give it another try at some point but will not rush to do that anytime soon.

I should have known better to order from this sonic in particular especially after reading the reviews. That's on me for being a heffer. I ordered the #14 with bacon. I was hoping and assumed the burrito would somewhat be like the picture as advertised. It was a small burrito with hardly anything in it. This sonic seemed more than stingy with their portions. Reasonably, I was not expecting portions that'll break through the tortilla. However, I also wasn't expecting to take one bite outta the thing and throw the rest into the trash. Anybody who goes to this sonic has abysmal expectations. The same abysmal expectations that are somehow keeping this joint running. Customers should definitely save their money and go elsewhere.

Why have they replaced popular menu items with obviously lower quality items!? The fries are of the grocery store bought bag variety. The Coney is now too long for its bun but also thinner so you're getting less. The popcorn chicken is formless with new and awful breading and the burger has a strange flavor quality that I can only describe as bad. The service was the best I have ever seen and you can tell the employees are doing the best they can with what they are given. No amount of cooked to perfection can save low tier food they are offering now.

Sonic use to be one of my favorite places to eat. Now it's honestly just trash. Some reason all the people at most sonics seem to be real ass and on top of that for the value of the food it's not worth the price. They also seem to always mess up my order some how even if there not busy. I can see sonic going out of business soon. Won't be eating at another sonic till I know there is a new CEO making changes for their franchise.

Every.Single.Time I’ve ordered my food has been wrong. Without fail. I don’t mean tiny mistakes. I mean… I order a “supreme” breakfast burrito and I only get “egg and cheese” type mistakes. I have to now check my food in the parking lot and when I go through again they get an attitude. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
