Heres a very honest review. We visited on 1/25/09, after years of seeing the commercials and wanting to visit a Sonic, and what a letdown! Plain burgers, plain fries, bland onion rings that fall apart and seem to be coated with a strange sweet donut batter, and tasteless slush drinks. Seriously, none of our slushes had a good flavor (lime, cherry, and grape). One burger in our order was wrong, but it was corrected in less than 5 minutes. You can not eat inside this place, you either pull into a stall and order and eat in your car, or use the drive-thru (and probably eat in your car anyway). The car hops are young, cute girls who seem very nice. Maybe thats why the place is popular? I have no idea. Eating here was like eating at McDonalds. In fact, not as good, because of the tasteless slush drinks. We even passed on dessert, assuming that their ice cream would also be a letdown. My advice? Dont bother. All hype, no flavor.

I will not be coming back to this specific sonic ever again, worst service I have ever seen in my life. Personally I have always liked the franchise, I would just suggest against this store. My friend and I thought it would be a good idea to stop at sonic for some ice cream well we made a mistake. After waiting 15 min in the parking spot to place our order no one had returned so we went to a different order station. Finally after about 15 minutes we finally place our order.After another 40 minutes we had finally recieved our ice cream. Yes I understand that they were busy, and what seemed to be a short staffed night. But over an our for ice cream is totally unacceptable. The fact that the car hop was working extremely hard, and the people in the kitchen were not is the reason i will choose a different location next time.

Went to the Sonic Today to try that new Pretzel Hog Dog. Well when I pulled into a unit box press the button for service was not greeted or ask to hold before placing my order. Press the button again appoximately 10 minutes later was silence for serveral minutes then was ask to hold before placing my order then finally was told sorry about your wait and thank you for patiently waiting. Wow bad Customer Service. The Pretzel Dog really wasnt worth the wait either. Was so frustrated I wanted dessert but didnt want to have to wait another 10- 15 minutes to order it either

Overcooked and incomplete orders, first time I went, food was overcooked. Second time, they didnt have the cheese tots we drove there to get. Third time, the shake was so thick I couldnt drink it, the banana blast didnt taste a thing like banana, and they didnt give us our dipping sauce. When I asked for a straw, the girl at the drive through looked at me like I was dumb, "you cant drink the blast with a straw" you can when it melts in 90 degree weather dummy! Three times sucked, Im never coming here again.

Unique menu including interesting sandwiches, breakfast anytime, happy hour soft drink specials, fun drink flavor combinations, excellent milk shakes, the best chili dogs, and who doesnt love the tater tots. I stop at least once a week for the french toast sticks. Drive thru or park and get served at your car with old school car hop service from friendly servers. There is a seasonal seating area that converts to an outdoor "patio". Great place to take the kids, date night, or a quick meal to go.

40 minutes for 1 Blast Reeses Small, no receipt given thru the drive thru until I went in and raised hell... They did not listen to me and made the blast wrong 3x including the final being a teaspoon of Reeses peanut butter cup to the rest all vanilla ice cream... GEOFFREY THE MANAGER refused to initially give me a receipt where they had overcharged me for the wrong product and I asked for a refund and WAS TOLD THEY DONT DO REFUNDS I used to come here about once per week... NEVER AGAIN,

Best thing here is the ocean water and half priced drinks at happy hour. The coney dogs are okay. Otherwise, youre better off with something else nearby. Unlike what a previous reviewer said, there is no buona beef next door to this location (besides, buona is over hyped and overpriced). There is, however, a nice beef place called milettes down the street, with much better fries and good beef. Theres also a Chinese food place across the street.

The standard Sonic Experience... just a little better. They tend to be a little slow at this location, but their quality is excellent and attention to detail is great. The Drive-Thru is not bad for early morning or late night. I cant believe they are not more crowded in the morning. The breakfast are much better than other Fast Food and great coffee.

Food was good, server was terrible. Came to my car 3 different times and was rude, disrespectful and had a serious attitude problem every time! Manager was very nice and apologetic for the lack of adequate service I received from the server. Said he has had several complaints about her and would take care of it. Ill be back but she should be fired.

I dont know why I keep thinking it will get better. The order is never right and you sit I the drive through for 25 mins to get a shake... The management should be embarrassed with this location. Im sure they are super understaffed or poorly managed. Hire more people if you cant keep up

Went at lunch time. They werent very busy. I ordered a Large Diet Strawberry Limeade and a Vanilla Cone. Waited 20 minutes and my order never arrived. I left when I saw the manager outside chatting with someone in another car. I guess my drink and my cone were not meant to be.

Ive been there a few times expecting for the food to get better but no dice. Everything is either mediocre or just plain awful. Service is alright, nothing to complain about there. The people working there seem to be alright just not good at making food.

Oh my god, horrible service. Order and sonic burger and a supersonic, they forgot the sonic and burnt the onion rings i ordered. How can you burn onion rings. Bunch of kids running that place that dont care what they serve their customers

They are never consistent with their shakes as far as flavors go. I remembered I had orderd a lemon pie shake and it was awesome but the next time I went to order another lemon pie shake, everything was at the bottom.

Horrible service every time Ive gone. Never get my order right, they dont let you finish talking when you are placing the order and they take forever. One time I got home and my order was totally wrong

Good drink menu, but mediocre food selection..about equally appealing as competing restaurants in same category.I could have gone to Steak and Shake, or Five Guys and gotten more "bang for my buck:

The food is decent. However, if you get out of your car and try to order something it is quite confusing as to their setup. If youre in a hurry I dont suggest you go there unless youre in a car.
