Sonic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My new best friend :) I fell in love w/ sonic years ago in pennsylvania and wow o wow, now we have one and 7 more coming to patheticut. The egg sandwich on the croissant is legit. The roll is awesome and fresh, the sausage was real and juicy, the egg was not fake like dunkin donuts neither was the cheese, the cheese was real. The french toast sticks w/ syrup are to die for, you only get 1 packet of syrup with the order of 4, so ask for another packet of syrup. yummmmmmmy Had dinner on tuesday the day before the opening and wow oh wow. Loaded up bacon cheeseburger like no other fast food place. Unreal! Great and juicy. Be prepared for a mess and to hold it together to eat it. Having it on toasted bread was yummmmmmmy. The cherry and strawberry limeaids... yummmmmmmmy The wait was 40 minutes on the grand opening day, the 14th of july. Was well worth it. I was there at 9:00am and the que lines started building at 9:45 when they opened the lot. Opening was 10:00 but food was served started at 10:30. Got done eating by 11:30am. Well worth the short wait. For all you haters hating the wait and scared of waiting an hour... boooooohoooooooo go to mcds!

Ive had a lot of the options on their menu since they opened and its good but I wouldnt go there regularly. I really like the drinks which are creative and good and the onion rings are honestly some of the best onion rings Ive ever had. However, I found a lot of the rest of their food to be lackluster. I tried the steak and egg breakfast burrito and Im not a fan; the eggs taste like instant eggs and the steak was OK. Personally Im not a fan of the connies but for people who like spicy chili itd be really popular. Id pick Wendys over Sonic for burgers any day and on one occasion here the only thing they got right with my order was my cherry limeade. I had ordered that, a plain cheeseburger, mozerella sticks and a large fry but I got a cheeseburger with everything on it, a connie but no mozerella sticks and 2 small fries. I know they just opened but still thats pretty bad. If they could up their quality on foods I think youd have a quality place.

Clearly Cinnabonbon and Moomoorinrin dont know what they are talking about. Is Sonic gourmet? No-Sonic is still fast food. Is Sonic better than your average fast food restaurant? Definitely. "Warm milk shakes, soggy chili dogs, and sandpaper burgers" are NOT the norm for this Sonic. The food all around is a steps up in quality and so is the variety they offer. I would especially recommend the toasters, the blasts or the slushies if you are making your first visit. And Im not saying these things because Ive waited for a long time for a Sonic to come up to CT. The fact is Ive tried multiple items from the menus and found them all of good quality. The Sonic in Wallingford holds its own against competing fast food places and ranks up there with the Sonics Ive visited in other locations. I predict Sonic is a stay and with an open mind, a growling stomach and a single car, you can help make that happen.

Sonic is a chain fast food restaurant, with food that isnt particularly good, however its ordering system has a kitsch/nostalgia thing going for it that is admittedly kind of enjoyable. You park outside by a menu sign with a microphone and place your order. A person on roller skates then rolls over to your car a couple minutes later with your food items in hand and hands them to you through your car window. You then eat in your car. At this particular location you also have the option of a simple drive-through, but whats that fun in that? In terms of food options, this place has a variety of hot dogs, burgers, fried chicken, onion rings, fries, mozzarella sticks, ice cream, slushies and more. I had the popcorn chicken, and it was decent to good for fast food fried chicken. I also had a watermelon slushie with Nerd candies added in- sounds weird, but I recommend it.

The customer service at the stalls were horrible. Went to one stall tried to place an order we changed our mind. Decided what we wanted and pressed the red button again and it said your order is blah blah blah. Then the screen cleared and pushed the red button again No response. Backed out went to another stall again pushed the red button and no response. Finally went through drive thru abs wouldnt ya know they could take your order there but of course they dont listen and screwed up 1 out of 3 shakes. They were nice and gave us a free one for their mistake but if they had just listened in the first place then it would have been right.

Such an amazing roller rink diner! The food was good at best, and the ordering process was a hassle, but what really sold me was the service. Hannene was so helpful with showing my family and I the menu, she explained half price drinks and then half priced shakes and told us about how to get a FREE XLarge drink by just filling out a survey! She brought my kids balloons and was so kind by asking how we were and how our day was. She even gave our dog a sundae with dog treats!! Great service.

Really nice staff, and food is good even though almost no healthy options at all. However, be prepared to wait.....I mean WAIT.....a long time. Always extremely slow, regardless of when you go. Some of the wait is because they do make items fresh, however, this is longer than other made fresh places. If you dont mind the wait and you have time, then youll enjoy it. If youre in a time constraint, go someplace else.

The food was okay considering the fact that it was fast food. Our CarHop was incredibly friendly and extremely patient with us even though she had to go back to the building 3 times. The person that took the order was totally prepared and well-trained for the fact that we wanted two separate transactions even though we were in one car. This is definitely a place I would return to if I was in a rush.

Ordered some hot dogs and stuff for a quick lunch with my daughters and that was fine. Then when we ordered 3 milk shakes; one chocolate, one chocolate hazelnut cream and one Oreo chocolate, the kid who brought them and said sorry they did not mark the shakes... sorry. Pretty much said that we would have to figure it out ourselves. Glad we keep the bar low.

Crew at the Wallingford location is usually solid when you eat at the stalls. Drive Thru is a little suspect at times, especially if busy. Although a variety of menu options I usually stick with a cheeseburger and it does the job for a fast food joint. Ingredients usually fresh and made to order.

Did a very large order for 12+ people at drive through and entire order was both accurate and fast. Server was kind, spoke clearly and confirmed everything was accurate before handing everything over with confidence. Attached is a picture of the drive through menu for reference.

I got a sundae and it had blue dye in it. I wasnt sure what it was. I ordered an Oreo cookie blizzard so it might have been the cookie flavor type they bought but it didnt taste right. I was only put off because I had ordered the same thing a week prior and that wasnt the case.
