Sonic Drive-In

I’ve been to this location multiple times but I’ve never written a review. First of all I must say they have delicious shakes and malts and slushes in almost any flavor or flavor combination you could imagine. Trying to decide which one to choose can be a dilemma since so many of them sound so good. I tend to stick to the basics of grape, strawberry or cherry though. I highly recommend trying the shakes and malts as well. I’m a chocolaholic, so I always get the chocolate flavor. I know… I should branch out and try new flavors! For the vast assortment of beverage flavors, it’s well deserved of five stars just for that. Oh and we have been there during their happy hours on their drinks. Not alcohol happy hour so don’t get too excited. Lol!
Service is always relatively quick. The convenience of ordering and paying at the card reader attached to the menu board in your own parking space is super convenient. There is of course a drive through as well or you can sit at one of their picnic tables and order from a stand alone ordering machine.
Now, my last visit was a different story. We placed our order of 2 hotdogs, a mini order of fries, a vanilla shake and a root beer. A simple and quick fast food meal, right? Yes, I know, not the healthiest choice, but I don’t eat here often for that reason.
After placing my order, I tried several times to use the card reader so I could pay but it wasn’t working. I used the call button and told them about my problem. They informed me it was ‘down’ and the carhop would take my card inside. Umm… not something I like to do. Parting ways with my card gives me anxiety. Why didn’t she tell me about that immediately after I ordered so I didn’t waste several minutes trying? Obviously they were having the issue, but then not to bother saying anything as I sat there getting frustrated trying it over and over. Argh!
We waited for what seemed like an extra long time for such a simple order. Then when the cars next to us were receiving their orders after placing them after we did, I was losing my patience. Finally just as I was about to flag a car hop down, our food was delivered and off she went with my card in hand. It was returned in a timely fashion, but it was still an uneasy feeling having my card out of my sight.
The food was fine for fast food. Lots of ice in the pop as I forgot to say light on the ice. I hate paying for a little bit of pop in my «cup of ice»!
All in all, not bad. Why three stars? I took one away for not telling us about the card reader problem in advance and another one away for the slow service when everyone around us was getting their orders before ours.
I’ll be back for a slush soon because we ride our bikes up here in the summer and like to sit and relax for a bit and enjoy the icy cold beverages.

This place closes at 1 am according to the signs. Went to drive thru today at 12:08 and they said they are closed. So stupid why not just put the right sign. This happened 2^nd time to me. I am done

Ah the fast food review. Is it important? Not really? But, if you happen to find yourself needing a fast food place due to circumstance, it’s nice to know which ones are better than others. Well, this Sonic location is top notch.
I’m not one to order hot dogs at a drive-​thru, but Sonic delivers on the promise for a great dog. I’ve tried them all and they are all very good, but the outstanding treat out of them all is the Chicago Dog. Well spiced, put together perfectly, and it tastes delicious.
The burgers are decent as well. Again, I’m not a huge advocate for fast food, but when I have to stop Sonic burgers are damn good. I’d put them ahead of McD’s and BK for sure.
If you are lucky or are just a pro and know when they have them or not, you’ve got to have some of the Cheddar Bites. No, they don’t always have them, but when they do they’re so good!
Lastly, they shakes and other crazy beverage concoctions are worth a try, especially during the hot weather months. So, if you’re in the need and want something other than a Big Mac or Whopper, give this place a try.

While your body may hate you after eating at Sonic’s, you know what you’re getting into by going here. I do have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the cheeseburger – plentiful and fresh toppings (onion, tomato, and lettuce), fresh bread, and tasty. While I can’t hate on my Mickey Ds (it’s a vice), this burger was definitely better and only $ 1.49 on their value menu.

The Sonics here up north are okay… but lack the charm of the ones in Texas & Arkansas.
BUT there Ice Cream Cone for $ 1.29 is far better than dairy Queen or McDonalds

Just a quick stop at SONIC for old time sake. A breeze through the windows as I waited for my order to arrive. My corn dog and fresh lime slush hit the spot, and all for under $ 3.00. I’m not sure why, but I always feel the need to take a peak at the lime hunk at the bottom of the cup. Yep… it was there, just like I remember. Refreshing!!!
