Sonic Drive-In is a fun, retro-style fast-food spot that brings back the classic drive-in vibe. They serve burgers, fries, and shakes with quick service, and you can enjoy your meal in your car or at the small dine-in area. Prices are very affordable, and the menu has a good variety of drinks and snacks. While the food is standard fast food, it’s a convenient and nostalgic place for a casual bite.

I recently visited Sonic Drive-In on W Wilson Ave in Chicago. The place has a classic, retro drive-in vibe which is pretty fun and nostalgic. The menu is typical fast food—burgers, fries, and shakes—but everything tasted decent and came out quickly. The staff was friendly, and ordering was easy whether you dine in or take out. Prices are reasonable, around $10–20 per person, which is fair for the portion sizes. The only downside was that it felt a bit crowded and noisy during peak hours, but overall, it’s a solid spot for a quick, satisfying meal. I’d probably come back if I’m craving classic fast-food comfort.

Man I did an online order for triple smash burgers, one was the pretzel bun. Let me tell you these hit the spot, I can't wait to order again. I know staff was working hard tonight, but it was well worth the wait.

Just do yourself a favor and don’t go here. Haven’t had sonic in years and had some time before a meeting so decided to try some ice cream and a meal.
1. Service was horrible. There was one other car there and they had me waiting multiple times. Then the girl taking my order kept putting things in my order that I didn’t order. MOST significantly: I asked if the corn dog was beef as I can’t have any pork. She said “let me check” then a second later said “yeah it’s beef”. While waiting around I looked it up and found it’s actually a mix of meats including pork. I mentioned this to her to which she then said “yeah it’s beef, pork, and chicken.” That was extremely irresponsible and a very serious oversight. And she glossed right past it.
The guy bringing out my order was rushing like he had the ceo of sonic on the phone and had to rush back to the call. He didn’t bring out my sonic blast ice cream. When I said that he said let me grab it and came back with it. It was a large cup full of plain vanilla soft serve with some Reese’s sprinkled on top. Nothing mixed in. I pressed the red button to let them know of this predicament to which the girl cut me off and said let me get you that and cut the line off. It was mixed the second time with Reese’s thankfully. But like???? What’s the point of ordering a blast to bring out a cup of plain soft serve nothing mixed in. Just overall horrible service.
I ordered the Sonic smasher. I know fast food pictures never look like real life, but when I tell you this burger looked like it was made out of playdough. There was not a single speck of crispy bits on the patties (which is the point of a smash burger lol) and it was not good at all.
Overall horrible service and food. Save yourself the time and money.

love u Sonic. the staff here are great. super quick, too.
Made an order and picked it inside and noticed another customer inside and he was touching all over a bag and saw it wasn’t his order which I found it gross he did that when I noticed it was my order so when I asked if it could be remade again, the worker took it back inside and was able to make it redone again which I was thankful for. Everything was hot and fresh!
