Sonic Drive-In Ultimate meat and cheese burrito

It was so poorly made that it was leaking out from the bag. Stained my car seat, when i took a bite out it was bitter and filled with grease. I have pictures as a proof.

Desired outcome: Refund

Sonic Drive-In Timing

Pulled up to sonic at 823pm and placed order. Very upset because they were out of ice bags they were out of onion rings! And on top of waiting for my order 45 minutes later they tell me they have to given it to someone else! So I can wait for another order to be made or refund my $ in 2 to 3 business days! I don’t know what is going on with sonic because all your locations seem to be taking a very long time to place orders! When you go to talk to employees to find out what’s wrong they laugh and tell you just to wait! So here we are 922 pm and I’m still waiting for my order! Finally received order at 934 pm

unexceptable!

Desired outcome: I want faster service and more compotent and considerate employees. I pay you $ instantly for a service and if I would have cancelled my order I would have to wait 2 to 3 days for my money is definitely not acceptable!

Sonic Drive-In Customer Service

Store 6690, Delta Shores, CA. Yesterday Sunday June 13, 2022, we arrived at 8:14pm and were turned away. A young worker stated a white car would be the last car, they are closing. The worker said Google hours are 10pm, but manager is changing it to 8pm. We left along with other cars. But we waited for a bit to decide where else to go. During this time, we saw the same worker let 4 to five cars in the line. We went back to the line. Now the employee stated the gray car is the last. We informed him we saw you let four cars in, why? The employee left. Later another employee stating he was the supervisor names Joshua. Joshua stated we must leave they are closed. We asked why the employee let four cars in. Joshua said the white car was the last and they let them in the driveway menu. No, we said, your staff let four cars in. Joshua said we are a franchisee, get out of here. You are banned.

Why is this location turning away customers and only letting those in they choose? Why is this location making their own business hours decision on a spot. You have a massive line circling the lot and choosing who to let in and when to close. This is not right, this is segregation. We only wanted a drink from a long drive. It's not right to be treated this way? The company website says 10pm close, google maps 10pm. Then a supervisor named Joshua says get out here. There are many people out of work, homeless, and without opportunities or chances. These are the people running a franchise? This is customer service?

On Friday June 3, 2022. I went to the sonics in Greenville Mississippi. The address is 729 East Reed Road. I place an order at 10:40am. At 11 I end up pushing the button again because my order has not came out. I tell the supervisor or whoever the guy was that took my order, that I have not received my order yet. That's when he tell me it's only one person...

Sonic Drive-In Oreo cheesecake shake

We ate at a sonic drive-in restaurant two weeks ago. I had a hamburger fries and a Coke. Afterward my husband and I ordered shakes. I had the Oreo cheesecake shake. Unfortunately I got the shake to go and or not from town…. We were just driving through. So, about 15 miles outside of town I got a nice large chunk of peanut butter in my shake. unfortunately I have an allergy to peanuts but fortunately it is not severe - Anaphylactic. But it’s bad enough that I had bad stomach issues for six days. It’s slowly starting to get better but now I’m actually having bad stomach issues again. It’s been two weeks, and now I think I have to go see a doctor about this (I think I’ve lost about 10 lbs.). I had called sonic corporate regarding this, they transferred me to the general manager and she said all she could do is issue a gift card. She said she would called corporate and corporate said that they would not issue a refund. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person who would not want to eat where they got really really sick from in the near future.

Desired outcome: Now I want a refund for my meal, medical expenses & suffering. We are in an RV right now & it’s miserable to be so sick in an RV. So, now I want at least $1,000. It will be more if I have to take them to court.

Sonic Drive-In Food and service

Got there and all I ordered was 5 blasts and a pretzel.. Took 5 min for them to even answer little red button... Then when they did they didn't read order back to me correct, had to correct that... She said it was gonna be a while with only 3 other cars there.. We waited for 20 min... So I was patient and waited.. Forgot some of order so the other person she came out with had to go back in. Gave me the wrong change back.. She had to go back in to get change... She had to ask us how much our order was for.. Then on top of all that, the icecreams were melted and not done right. Didn't notice that till we made it home and there was a fake nail in one of our blasts... I am not one to complain but this is unacceptable. This is sad! I will never be back there again!

Sonic Drive-In Cleanliness

This place is absolutely disgusting no one washes hands, no one cleans, and I mean they don’t clean anything at all you can’t even see a reflection on the grease traps they are so piled up with grease it drips onto the burgers along with all the grease and roaches all over the floors and walls I don't understand how they are even open no one should ever get food from this place

Desired outcome: Shut it down or clean it up properly it’s disgusting no one should be served this food it’s beyond dangerous and I will have something done about it

Sonic Drive-In Same excuse every time trying to get milkshake or blizzard.

Just curious as to why every weekend (as in today May 22nd) when go to Sonic drive through in Galveston on Seawall Blvd they never can make a milkshake or blizzards because the "machine is down for cleaning or repairs or maintenance? During the last year I've been told this at least 6 times...there's nothing wrong with the machine...

Desired outcome: Quit using the excuse... talk with the manager about the issue. It seems to be a given excuse for it happens at other Sonic's on weekends too in the same district...

Sonic Drive-In Service

I went to the sonic in picacho and valley drive in Las Cruces NM and 1st no one took our order thru the drive thru. We pulled up and ordered 2 lg. Chile cheese tots. I ask the person at the window if the speaker was out. I was told "no it's hard to hear" then when our order came I was give 2 regular Chile cheese dogs, that tasted like it had been prepared for quite some time. It was the worst service and food from Sonic I have ever had.

Sonic Drive-In Service

You need to close down or do somethang about the service at the 2 sonics in Terrell Texas. Do the same to the one in Kaufman Texas. Also in Forney Texas. Because we went to these places and dis not get waited on. Pressed the button and no service. My wife and myself were not the only one that had this trouble. People were leaving because of this. Fix them or shut them down. I won't go back to a sonic ever again.

Desired outcome: Fix the problem

My order wasn’t complete, they didn’t bring our drinks out. My side of onion rings were also missing and I was informed they were out and weren’t going to tell us until we asked and I had to get something else. After we got our drinks we realized the condiments weren’t on one of the burgers and they didn’t give us straws and had to call again to get those. This is by far the worst service I have ever received at this sonic.

Sonic Drive-In Food preparation

After dozens of Sonic advertisement about the Yellow Cake Batter shake, I decided to visit the Apple Valley Ca. location on Bear Valley rd. With my shake I ordered the foot long chilly coney combo at around 6:30 pm 05/04/22 at the drive thru. I ordered my dog with added onions and lt. jalapeño. When I returned home and opened my meal, most of the fries were burnt. There was no chilly on my dog that was drenched with relish containing 27 yes I counted 27 mostly whole sliced jalapeños covering my hotdog. This had to be intently done. You wouldn’t put that many on even if I asked for extra. I hope to receive a response beyond you’re sorry that this happened. Thank you

Desired outcome: Location reasoning for actions performed.Comp meal for different location.Employee confronted
