My husband ordered a Dr. Pepper and couldn't drink it. He said it tasted like dirty water. We decided to give it another chance and he ordered another Dr. Pepper which was fine. I ordered a cranberry limeade which tasted like mold/mildew. Everything else we ordered was fine

Machines broken service extremely slow and we specifically said NO ice. Not all ice
Whoever took our order this evening was a very very disrespectful lady answering by saying “what can i get you in a very mean tone” i proceeded to try and tell her what i would like and the whole time she’s practically talking over me the whole time and when i try and explain what i want she yells NEED ANY SAUCE??? while i was still talking i proceeded to say yes and tell her what sauce i need and then i try to add something to my order and she’s says “you CANT DO THAT IN A MEAL” which i explained i knew i couldn’t i didn’t mind adding it as a separate side and she still proceeded to be mean and say NEED ANYTHING ELSE??? and i said yes please i also want and she says very very loudly “OK HERES UR TOTAL GOD” so i decided to drive off i don’t care what kind of day you are having if you can’t be nice do not work in fast food. it was the most childish experience ive ever came across in my life. asked around and her name might be Nevah Daniels so if you see this please learn to respect and be kind to others.

Welcome to Sonic Mountain View – Where Your Order is a Suggestion, Not a Guarantee
Let me tell you a little story from the culinary Twilight Zone, also known as Sonic Drive-In in Mountain View, Missouri—a place where brain cells apparently go to die and hot dogs go to be desecrated.
I ordered a footlong chili cheese Coney with mustard and onion—you know, a standard classic. What I received was a naked footlong wiener in a bun, smeared with mustard and onions like some kind of sadistic joke from a kitchen staffed by folks who clearly think “chili” is an exotic concept from a foreign land.
Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m not mad. I’m impressed. The sheer level of incompetence it takes to mess up a hot dog this badly should be studied by scientists. It’s as if the staff had a team meeting beforehand and decided, “Let’s show this guy what true disappointment tastes like.”
But let’s not dump all the blame on the employees. After all, they're just the understaffed, undertrained, underpaid pawns in this tragic drive-thru opera. The real MVP here is the franchise owner—clearly someone who looked at the Sonic hiring manual, chucked it in the dumpster behind the Dollar General, and replaced it with a meth-fueled game of Mad Libs.
What’s worse is the condescending attitude that seems baked into the very buns of this establishment. There’s an air of smug oblivion, as if the staff genuinely believe they’ve nailed it—serving mustard-onion sadness like it’s gourmet cuisine while staring at you like you’re the one who’s confused. Sorry, Becky, but a chili cheese dog requires chili and cheese.
Mountain View already has a reputation, bless its toothless heart, but this Sonic? This is ground zero for culinary failure and customer service malpractice. Eating here is like playing Russian roulette with your digestive system—and the revolver’s fully loaded.
So if you’re in town and craving a hot dog, consider eating a gas station Slim Jim and using your imagination—it’s safer, tastier, and likely handled by someone with a GED.
In conclusion: Avoid this place like it serves roadkill. Because odds are, it just might.
The customer service isn’t the greatest here. Everytime we come here they seem to mess up my order. Don’t think I will be coming back to this location.
So I walked up to the self check out to literally just order a burger, small, ice cream, and a soda and stood there for 30 mins straight for them to take car of everyone in a car.... by far the worst place to go for food is this location... Manger should be fired for even letting that open to a customer... don't recommend anyone come here

They were quick to take my order and very friendly. The kiosk I was at ran very slow. I ordered a chicken sandwich meal with tots. The tots were delicious. The sandwich, not so much. The chicken was overcooked. I took two bites and threw the rest out.
