I'm surprised they don't charge for the bag, napkins and straws. The food is always nasty, like they make it of the floor.

I'm miss coming to this location and having an easy experience. It's near my home, but I almost never get to order from here anymore because when I drive by and want something, all of the normal stalls are full, but all of the mobile order only parking spots, the majority, are empty. I don't have any intention of ever downloading a Sonic location-tracking app to my phone, especially not just for the privilege of ordering fast food.

I ordered on the website today to make sure that I would be able to pick it up but when I got there, but I still had to go to a typical stall because I didn't order on the app and so I couldn't 'check in' to a mobile order parking spot. When I went to the stall and told them that I was here to pick up the order for Olivia, their response was 'oh I guess I'll check you in then' as if I had not used my app correctly when indeed I just didn't have it at all and never will.

I remember when this just used to be like a neighborhood hamburger shop and you could just like get a drink or an ice cream from a carhop frictionlessly, but now it appears to be an app-driven take-out only semi-ghost restaurant?

I hope the profits are improving as intended, but I remember when all the 20 normal stalls were full most of the time. Now it's 10+ mobile order ONLY stalls empty most of the time and frustrated locals driving the loop, having no where/way to order, and heading home hungry. From my perspective anyway.

If you want ketchup or picante sauce or anything, you gotta tell them right when your ordering. They give you the food and immediately walk away.

Always coming up with new menu items is one way to keep my kid wanting to come back! He loves to try the new menu items!

If y'all don't want to make food until y'all close, then close earlier. I will not be coming back

Sonic on Bowen, Arlington TX usually gets higher ratings than others nearby (not saying much), but my visit was a letdown. The hot dog was wrong (came loaded when I asked for just mustard and relish), the replacement had a soggy bun dripping with mustard, and I was even given tater tots I didn’t order. Didn’t receive the extra groovy sauce that I did order. Onion rings arrived raw, fries burnt, and overall the food was barely edible.

The carhops were friendly and tried to fix the order, but the kitchen quality was so poor it ruined the experience. Disappointing and reminded me why I don’t eat at Sonic’s anymore.

It's a Sonic. the stalls are too tight. the food is fast food. One if the few places I'll eat at but only like once it twice a year. Just not my thing.

13 mins and 28 seconds for a slushy. One slushy. I timed it. After I had to drive around 5 times to get a stall I could order at. More than half are mobile stalls and enjoy your food here stalls with no computers to order at. And the walk up computer broken.

This is one of the better Sonics in the area. They always get my order correct and generally get it to me pretty fast.

Madison Webber is the best carhop I’ve ever seen in my gosh dang life. Thank you sonic for truly giving me such an experience, and to you, Madison, I hope no pickles on your burgers for the rest of your life. I hope your Pattie is always cooked just right, I hope your bun is hot, I hope you never have to pick lettuce off of your sauce covered bun again. I wish you well.
