Sonic Drive-In in Houston

“I'm so grateful ? for the employees that came to work in this disaster hurricane. We still don't have lights after 5 days, but I appreciate the food being hot & delicious and also the kind warming service we got. Thanks so much!!“

“The song that was excellent it was all fresh and the key was excellent the right amount of sugar and everything

Parking: It's not actually the parking because everybody has their boots that they drive up into but the waitresses were there friendly and very respectable and they have so many options for children dinners there

Kid-friendliness: I just seen on their menu what they had and it was a good child's menu and a lot of different choices for the parents“

“Good food. Fast service But just Lazy attempt to make good on expectations. I got a Sonic Blast M&M and talk about just last. They put all my M&M on top and thought that would be enough to please. Stop me if I ask you to mix them into my Blast. You work at a low paying job cuz you do work like this... Wow the generation told just won't make it. SAD“

“It's sonic, if you like it, then you already know what you're getting. 1/2 price Tuesday cheeseburgers are always nice.This sonic also has the chicken fried steak sandwich which is my favorite.Daily deals...for flavor to price it's hard to beat.“

“Didn't expect this place or the food here to be this good it was just a quick halt on the way ordered a chocolate shake and mozzarella sticks and they were soo good would highly recommend their chocolate shake it was unreal!!! Just one thing they should introduce some veg options too as the chicken here is not halal as it's located in a place surrounded by desi business“

“This Sonic is located on a relatively quiet street, surrounded by trees. It feels like rolling into the 80s. Ording was quick and delivery as well. After a quick check that all items were there we could munch away.

The tater tots were great, and all around we had a great meal! Not sure if we should have asked for dipping sauces or if they were forgotten, but anyway they weren’t even necessary. I’ll definitely come back here. And then feel a little guilty not cooking for myself.“

“I tried the new Smash Double. I liked it, definitely hit the spot. The chicken bites were kind of a miss for me, though. Too much breading, I think. The chicken itself was good and was piping hot, but the breading was a bit thick and hard. I had a vanilla shake with my meal. That was another plus side item, very enjoyable. The employee at the moment window was on top of their game too. There was a car in front of the window, but the employee stepped out through a side door to get my shake to me early. That was very much appreciated. By the way, you can see a glimpse of the Astrodome from the drive-thru!“

“I frequent Sonic Drive-Ins anywhere from 3 - 5 times a week. I always get a Route 44 Sweet Tea with extra ice, a Route 44 Peach Slush, and 2 Route 44 Cups of Ice, I'm a sonic ice fiend. As much as I travel for work, when I get to where I'm going, I find out where the closest Sonic is with the handy Sonic App. I place my order with the app, and I get 1/2 price drinks (not all drinks) from open to close.“

“On the regular, I order a Super Sonic breakfast burrito. It's sit down restaurant competitive & makes McDon's & Wendy & BurgerKing all wish they had the recipe instead of microwaving frozen ones or what ever they do to their wimpy 'burritos'.Not sure about anyone else's reported not favorable experiences here, but my breakfast burrito is A+ every time!“

“Sonic has a best kept secret. They consistently have the best onion rings. I ordered a Blue Ocean Water also. I was disappointed it tasted watered down. Perhaps the sprite syrup was running out. It's usually good but this time, it wasn't a hit. That's ok though. I'll be back.“

“Awesome Sonic!!! Service was fast and friendly and food was hot and yummy ?
Only 1 little complaint...and it's about the parking lot area ..Please take up the big yellow chunk of concrete out that's right next the driveway because when you're driving and turning in to the right it is not very noticeable and it could mess up someone's rims as it sticks up like a curb.“

“The service I receive is nice and polite. The dining area is kept clean. I’ve been here a few times and my food is always fresh, order accurate, and properly prepared. I am an ice cream/shake fiend and I was particularly impressed with the Strawberry Cheesecake shake I got today. I felt like I got exactly what I asked for and will definitely be returning for more!“

“I rarely bother with doing reviews or anything like this, But bless Christine for having such a bright, wonderful attitude at 10 o clock at night. This sonic is a bit further from me, but with her type of service I’ll gladly be making this drive again rather than going to one closer!“

“My online order was delivered to me quickly and everything was made accurately and was hot and tasty. Associate that brought it out to me was friendly polite and smiling!

Vegetarian options: Did not see anything vegetarian on menu.

Dietary restrictions: Did not have any dishes marked for any dietary restrictions except for sugar free or diet drinks.

Parking: This location only has about 6 or 8 stalls and a drive thru because it is attached to a convenience store and gas station but there are plenty of parking spaces available.

Kid-friendliness: This location does not have a patio for outdoor seating so no where for kids to run around at all.

Wheelchair accessibility: This location is attached to a convenience store that does have handicap parking, handicap entrance, and handicap accessible restrooms.“

“I have visited this sonic many times and every time I come I receive awesome service. One of the sonic members in particular makes sure he puts a smile on our face every time with his jokes and crazy antics. I regret not asking his name, but once I find out I will be sure to mention him ! He needs a raise ! Thanks Sonic for the best service.“

“The day manager is a real sweetie. He’s always so friendly and so nice and comes out to greet you and it’s just an overall cool person. However his staff always seems to be in a hurry and irritated even though they have a smile on their face it looks like you’re forcing them at gunpoint to do so. It’s impossible here to ever get condiments and when you ask for them the staff always seems really put out by it. That bothers me because at every other sonic in the United States they usually have ketchup or sugar or whatever in their apron pocket to assist when a customer asks for napkins or ketchup. But at this location I don’t know if it means that they are just short on catchup packets and maybe the employees get tested if they have to go back in and get something for a customer but it really ruins the dining experience when you see your car hop rolled her eyes at you to go and get something that should’ve been included in the first place. The only reason I’m giving it four-star is because I love the route 44 drinks and ice and the manager is a great example of how all employees should act. I do hope that he sees us and uses the constructive criticism to remind cops that he can 100% change a persons opinion of a restaurant if they forgot some thing to just smile genuinely and say no problem let me get that for you. Because it isn’t a problem or at least it shouldn’t be. But a comment of yeah Fine hold on and an eye roll really sours the experience no matter how good the food is you’re not gonna want to come back to this location. Just saying.“

“I went to this one couple weeks ago, that smash burger was so good..Veggies so fresh... They are a dollar right now to lol telling ya, I couldn't believe they beat on taste and how it was put together then other places I've tried...I had a shmunchies to so it tripled in goodness Js Nice guys!“

“Honestly, not bad for a drive in restaurant. The convience of waiting in your car while your food is being made serves out a great market for people who are in a hurry. The added dining room outside was good. I would definitely return to Sonic for a snack and that's mainly it.“

“Been here in the past and have to say the atmosphere around the place has really changed. A more welcome feeling i guess. The employees displayed a whole new change in management and orderliness. Respect and courteousness made a big difference in change at this location. Keep it up!“

“It was very busy on the day we went. Power was out in our neighborhood. The server who took our order was great! Patient and listened, read it all back! Our order was perfect ....except we ordered 6 cheese sticks and got 4. So a lil mix up there....eventho she read 6 piece back to us. But it was so busy! Thank you to all the staff!“

“Yesterday, we decided on trying this location because we were in the area and wanted something quick to eat. We ended up getting 3 things. The garlic butter bacon burger with fries and a large coke, the new Buffalo chicken bites, and a Jr burger for my son.The Garlic Butter Bacon Burger was decent for the most part, but the only problem was the bacon itself. The bacon tasted like it sat out all day, maybe a couple of days old. It tasted like bacon jerky. The rest of the burger was actually really good.The Buffalo chicken bites, though, were my favorite. It was perfectly crispy, and the Buffalo chicken inside was the perfect amount, and I got a 5 piece. The only thing I wish they would've given me was something to dip them into, like ranchMy son's burger was a bit dry. We asked for his burger to be plain, not dry. My son liked it, though. He usually likes his burger with cheese and mustard. The fries were crispy.The server, Marisol, was the only one working, and I respect that. Her customer service was exceptional. Next time we're in the area, we'll return.“

“Came in to get some corn dogs and a drink, met the manager Rhoda, She was so nice.. I was asking about the damage to the lights and fixtures outside. If you are hungry and want some of that Down home sonic food that is cooked fresh every time you order it just come on down to this sonic.. Food was awesome and the drink was out of this world!!“

“I've been coming to this sonic for a while. It's hands down the best one in the area. Beyond the waitstaff being friendly, the food is consistently good.This morning though whoever is working the grill is doing God's work. My boyfriend and I decided to sit on the patio this morning and ordered our usual (him bacon double and me French toast sticks) and when he pulled out his burger I knew I needed a bite. And after I did I straight up ordered a burger for myself (the new hickory smoked). Both burgers were immaculate. I actually started to weep tears of joy. Even my boyfriend (a previous employee of 3 years with sonic in another state) had never see such amazing food come from a sonic. Bless these people.“

“I've never posted a review for a fast food place until today.
I stopped to get a breakfast burrito and
I was utterly shocked at how POLITE & SUPER FRIENDLY everyone was. From the young lady taking my order over the speaker to the 2 separate carhops who brought me my food....they were all so nice.
Also...my food was piping hot; like almost burn my mouth hot! But I'm not complaining at all, it just caught me off guard. When's the last time you've been to a fast food joint and actually got hot food? I'll wait... lol.
Whoever the owner & manager are I applaud you. Yall have hired and trained some awesome young adults. Everyone at this location should be proud. Keep up the great work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Didn't get my order right AFTER repeating it 3x but staffing was friendly

2/24/25 Unfortunately change my review to 1 star. On this date
Sat at drive thru for over 15mins to not order even tho they said they would be right with us. Eventually a line of cars accumulated and still no response. I drove up to window and was still ignored needless to say there was full staffing inside (working on orders from car hops I’m assuming). including a shift mgr. I knocked on window no response. I finally did open to inquire about the delay or and was rudely told not to by Matt I’m assuming.
I do secret shopping at times for assigned establishments. If I was on assignment. This establishment would be lowly rated. Total disappointment in customer service capabilities. I left with my elderly parent who was placing a large order.“

“CFS Sandwich hit just right. Over sized fritter bigger than the bun, carhop had a beautiful smile and that bit of kindness made the meal that much better. The new krinkle cut fries are delicious and can't visit w/o my cherry limeade. And my stall was shaded.“

“Omar the GM was SUPER helpful!! I had an issue with something and he went above and beyond to help resolve it for me! That’s what you call GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! That man deserves a raise! Thank you for being so outstanding and training such a wonderful team!!!“

“I went there to sonic on Almeda Genoa and they said their ice cream machine doesn’t work so they couldn’t make shakes. I went there specifically for the peanut butter bacon shake to share with my granddaughter whom is almost five years old. we drove from there all the way to Scarsdale location. As I’m getting home I realize the shake is only peanut butter shake. We ordered the peanut butter bacon shake. I was so disappointed!“

“I have no complaints at all for this sonic. They have always done me good over the years of going here. Today I ordered a double bacon cheese burger fully customized with tator tots and a cherry limeade. I put my order in on the app and drove less than 10 minutes to get there. My food was ready to go and they brought it out to me quickly and with everything I needed including sauces I asked for and napkins.“

“I just want to give a thank you to Jazmine. I couldn’t get my app to work she couldn’t understand exactly what I was saying so she came out to my car assist me. She got my order corrected and worked int the problem. She went a above and beyond with a smile. Thank you so much, it’s rare to find customer service like this these days with a smile Five stars all the way and yeah the food was great!“

“"Hey Sonic team,I hope this finds you well! I wanted to share an amazing experience I had at your Westheimer and Eldridge location. A super kind lady paid for my meal, and I was truly touched by her act of kindness. I wanted to reach out to see if you could help me find her.I would love to express my gratitude and invite her to my upcoming birthday party as a special thank you. I'm more than happy to cover her expenses for the visit. If you have any information or can assist in any way, I would greatly appreciate it.Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!Best regards,Var“

“Food is ok. You're not looking for or going to find super high quality food at a fast food establishment, but the food is good, hot and fresh, and the drink menu is diverse. The food has gotten a bit more expensive over the years, but that's kinda everywhere, due to inflation and rising food costs, across the board, so it's not really their fault, but it leaves you wishing it was 10 years ago. I'll definitely eat here again.“

“We went for a chocolate shake and ice cream. They were overwhelmed with the volume. For me, it's not a issue waiting for what I would like. What really makes a difference is service.The lady at the drive up window was extremely polite and kind. Whoever she is needs to be recognized for that. We went Wednesday March 13 around 11 or 12 at night.“

“Unlike some of these other reviews,I've learned to just be patient, this isnt the woodlands.In my opinion it just depends on who's working that shift because this one woman I cant remember her name and Lance be havin me set with the time frame and food right. My slushes and chicken tenders are always right 👍🏽.

Ps. Dont get disrespectful with any of the employees here, the general manager is their mama bear! She will set you STRAIGHT (as professionally as she can of course) if you take it there.“

“When we work in Summerwood we try to eat here a few times! Hot and fresh food, always...but they have some of the sweetest employees...that is what I enjoy the most!

Parking: Side and front parking available

Kid-friendliness: It is connected to a gas station lol so candy for dessert! There is a duck pond (ducks of all sizes to watch) with a walking trail and picnic area close by.

Wheelchair accessibility: User friendly door, bathroom and dining area.“

“Jeremiah was awesome. I drove from the Washington Ave location after not receiving service at all this time and crappy service the very first time. This location was professional and quick. I could tell Jeramiah was tired but was still super professional, friendly and speedy while servicing me. Thank you so much.“

“I literally just went on this day to get a route 44 cup of ice from the back, anytime I make this request and they actually do it, I am sure to tip this person more. I tip at Sonic if I do not go through the drive thru, but to make a long story short the worker went and got the ice from the back and did not forget to bring me a straw and a long spoon 🥄 I was so grateful and I will return just because of this service.“

“I came to this location bringing my pets during a fire alarm test to get them out of the house. I was so distracted I forgot my wallet at home. I didn’t know they didn’t take tap card payments and Riri who brought me my food let me send it to her through Apple Cash and pay that way. So sweet of her and she 100% didn’t have to do that. The drink and food was great as always.“

“It took a long time to get just a drink, but there was only one person, I wish I could've gotten his name. He was busting his butt to get everyone taken care of. The owner should take care of this man. It was @1030 Thursday morning. I am already trying to find a position for him and hire him away because I know he does not get paid enough for his work ethics. Good job sir!!!“
