Its a typical burger place. Shakes are better than most fast food options even if it takes a but more time, and the offer lots of size options. Medium is enough for 2-3 people. I got the tyrtle pecan and it was delicious. My sister got the strawberry cheesecake and it was alright. The chicago dog is decent. I liked the pickled peppers We also tried the all amsrican dog, its around Weinerschintzel quality. Also tried the #12 crisp sampler or something. Generous amount of chic tenders, tater tots. Texas toast was really just regular toast. Only had 1 onion ring in the box Their crushed ice is popular, its fun to chew. Another in our party had the grilled asiago chic sandwich. It was kind of small but Id say standard for fast food. All in all a decent experience for fast food. We went through the drive through maybe had to wait 15-20 minutes but we had a big order. Service was decent. They did thier job, and did it politely. Nothing above and beyond but nothing negayive either.

My wife and I love Sonic and this location has been good to us. Weve had some pretty bad experiences and some good ones but they often make up for the bad ones. I will drive drive 10 more freeway exits to not have to go to the one on Harbor since the food preparation there is so bad. This one we have had 30-40 minute waits for food, but never come close to throwing up as the other one. If you havent been to Sonic do try the onion rings, tator tots, the burgers we like but lots of people say theyre no better than what you make at home but come on, its a drive-thru people! Also try the shakes and limeades, especially strawberry :D

I like Sonic, and they are few and far between in Southern California, so I was excited when I saw this one was right across from our church. Ordered 3 kids meals and a cheeseburger meal, and it was $25??? They got the order wrong, and we waited another 10 minutes for 2 chicken fingers, and then were charged again for it. The food is good, but the service and pricing leaves a lot to be desired. We attend this church weekly, but likely wont be making this Sonic a weekly thing or well go broke buying $5 corndogs!

DO NOT EAT HERE. The food isnt even that good, its overpriced, the service is borderline crappy, and the carhops suck. THEY DONT EVEN SWITCH OUT THEIR COOKED FOOD AFTER THE TIMER GOES OFF! JUST RESET AND RESET AND RESET! I wouldnt be surprised if someone gets some mad e coli off of that place. Oh and carhop girl, dont stand there waiting for a tip if you didnt even get my order right. NO TIP FOR YOU! But if youre looking for a cold burger, this is the place for you.

Food and drinks are amazing. The service was terrible. The first time I was there, they messed up my order so bad that I had 3 different servers attempt to fix it and they all messed it up worse then the one before. And I hadnt even ordered anything special or different than what was on the menu. And the second time I was there, our order was correct but they took forever to bring it to us. But like I said, the food and drinks are AMAZING.

I have tried to like Sonic. Im a dude who can eat pretty much any fast food, but Sonic I just dont like. Everything I have tried there either has zero flavor or is drenched in so much salt you cant eat it. Even my Coney island dog was too damn salty and gave me the worst heartburn I ever had in my life. Their burgers look great but they taste like cardboard with too much salt. Ive given up on Sonic. Its just terrible to me.

Slow service (20 minutes?), but the food and drink orders were correct. We did have to ask for the marinara sauce for the mozzarella sticks even though we told them our sauce choice when we ordered. Food was hot and good, but the milk shake was more liquidy than it should be. It was probably made first and had to wait for the food to be delivered. Why not keep it in a refrigerator until the rest of the order is ready?

This is the only Sonic Drive-In I have ever been to that closes their stalls and makes you use the drive thru window. They do not have a sign telling you when this is happening so you park and then have to get in their monster line that takes way too long. They even told a kid on a skateboard that he had to go through the drive thru, him and what car? The restaurant is called Sonic Drive-In not Drive-Thru.

Im a huge sonic fan usually. Their drink options are amazing, but I went in today for their grill cheese sandwich special for .50 cents. Yuck! Not even worth the cost. Omgosh! I cant understand because the Texas toast is used on other sandwiches and is delicious. Not today. Either the cook doesnt have a clue or they purposely failed. Yuck again! Please take that item off the menu!

Fast and delicious, that is what Sonic is made of! I personally come here for lunch every now and then after I get out of class at the college just down the street. The waitresses are very friendly and have never had any issue with my food or service. The food always tastes great and there variety of drinks and smoothies is fantastic!

Do you miss the nostalgia of drive-ins? Or are you too lazy to get out of your car to buy food? Either way, Sonics delivers (literally) pretty decent food to your car. I love that they have a lot of various choices for milkshake, but this would be the only thing that separates Sonics from other fast food joints based on cuisine.

Good slushies and excellent milkshakes. Their burgers are alright, far from the best but good for a quick craving. Theyll serve you in your car, in the drive-thru or they have an outdoor area where you can walk up to get food. Prices are pretty good especially during their happy hours on drinks or milkshakes at night.

The drive through menu was way too small to read from inside the car, the young lady helping us lacked the ability to help us understand the menu, and to make things worse our food was not even hot. For our first time visiting a Sonic we are definitely not going back after our first and only visit.

Okay lets start rating fast food places versus others. Seriously rating 3 stars for a fast food place yes, its okay, but what do you expect from a fast food place. The great variety of drinks here are awesome, and the food is decent. Deserves 4 stars against other fast foos places

i love sonics. i went here at 1030 at night after getting off work. and was served super fast. i didnt notice at first that there was an actual drive thru at this location. but i was happy with sitting and eating my dogs and tater tots in my car before deciding to head home.

We enjoy going to Sonic when we are out of town. Long wait for the good the last two times we visited. Once they forgot it order we waited over an hour. Last time we waited 45 minutes and it was a so Sunday night. Think we might look for a different location next time.
