Sonic Drive-In Service

We went to the Sonic in Raymond MS and never got our order. It was Sept 6 at 5:00 pm. When we asked, they said they thought we had left, we were parked in front of the window in plain sight of the workers. Needless to say we left and took our business elsewhere. This is the third time we have had issues here. Will tell everyone not to go there!

Desired outcome: Workers to do their job!

She was rude and didn't seem like she was enjoying her job I know people have days but she could have been a little nicer. I asked for fries and got Hard burnt tator tots and when I had addressed it she looked at the receipt and said oh okay I will go back and get those fries with a "I don't care" attitude. Never came back with fries. Stall 18 Switchboard...

9/1/2021 Bought three meals, two were fine but the chicken slinger combo was awful. The bread was all dry and wrinkly and the chicken was dry and looked old. The slinger was thrown together with a few pickles and dab of mayo. Not the usual Sonic quality I wasn't going to drive back to complain so I sucked it up and ate it. J. Lofton [protected]

Sonic Drive-In Open hours

The Sonic on Cypress Creek in Cedar Park Texas is experiencing ongoing problems with hours of operation. Excuses in the past have included ; grill not working, only able to serve drinks, inconsistent opening times, and, today, short staff. Today's issue was told to me at 8:30 this morning by a staff member and again at 7:30 this evening when there were 2 workers present. I am concerned about the health of this location and whether the location will be able to stay open.

Sincerely,
Richard White

Desired outcome: Improve operation

Sonic Drive-In App Order

On August 23 we submitted an app order but when we arrived at the Sonic Drive-In off St Joseph Street, the website says it closes at 10 pm but it was 15 minutes till 10 pm and all the lights were off. When I asked one of the carhops what had happened, she just said yes, they had closed early and when I asked was this a regular happening, she said no but Sunday we were running late again and the carhop inside the building said that they were closed already so we couldn't get our drinks. We live on the other side of town, and we must travel 15 minutes just to get to the drive-in they were closed. We picked the drinks the following day, but it was just the principle of the thing.
On August 22, I had ordered a Limeade and instead, I just received a Sprite but when I asked why I just had received a Sprite at that time the explanation was that they were out of Limes. That means they charge us for the price of a Limeade, and they just didn't care. They never told us they didn't have limes tell I complained. We go to Sonic twice a day and frankly, I am getting the feeling they don't want us to come back. If they would treat us right, I wouldn't complain but I am sick of this place. From the manager to all the carhops they are rude and just flat don't care.

Sonic Drive-In Food

My Wife and I was traveling in Mississippi Sunday August 15th, 2021, Stop in at the Sonic at 701 Hwy 45S Baldwyn, Ms . we order the #1 Combo each. After we receive our order, we notice the lettuce was brown, my wife sandwich had a piece of lettuce that was black, the meat in both sandwich's was thin and hard as a brick. French Fries taste awful, cold two day old grease. We just discarded the food in the trash and left never to stop there again. We live in Northport, Alabama and across my Office is a Sonic, never got a bad meal like this one was. We did not contact the manager before we left . Did not want to hear a lame excuse, almost made us sick.

Desired outcome: refund payment of $16.66 , order # CHK 120

Sonic Drive-In App ordering

The Sonic location nearest our home, on Willow Road in Clovis, CA routinely shuts down the Sonic app which means one can't get 1/2 price soft drinks which, if you know the huge markup on Sonic's drinks, you'll understand why 1/2 price actually puts them in a more competitive area. I asked the manager why and was told, "we are out of a lot of stuff and people keep ordering it so we turned off the app". That's verbatim, BTW. When I try to involve Sonic corporate using Twitter I just get the same, canned, response: "try calling the location". Duh.

Desired outcome: Keep the app turned on

Had to wait 30 minutes for just a milkshake. After being patient and waiting all that time (and no it was not a busy time) we pressed the call button just to be told the lane was now closed and to go to the drive thru, I reminded the lady we had ordered 30 minutes ago paid and was told it would be right out.. Silence.. Of course no apology no reason offered...

I ordered seven (7) drinks at Sonic in Demopolis, AL, today, August, 8, 2021 at 6:38pm. I placed my order on the Sonic App. My family and I waited, as we watched other cars come and go, with their orders. We sat patiently, but still we did not receive our order. I blew my horn to get the attention of a young man who worked there. I told him that we had been...

Sonic Drive-In Sonic blast

After waiting 25 minutes for a small snickers blast and a medium butterfinger blast they finally arrived. The sizes were wrong and all it was was vanilla ice cream with a tiny bit of the candy bar sprinkled on top. Definitely not worth the $10 it cost. They said sorry for the wait but all the people around us that arrived after us had gotten their orders. Won't be going back to that Sonic. Bad service and bad food.

Sonic Drive-In Slow service

The Sonic in San Antonio on NW Military and Huebner is incredibly slow. It takes them 20 minutes just to take your order at the drive-thru. You can't use the slots because they are only for orders placed in the app. There were 2 cars in the slots. Once you finally get your order placed, it's another 10 minutes for them to bring you your food. We will never be returning!

Desired outcome: Close the store if you cannot provide adequate service.

Sonic Drive-In Food preparation

Went to drive-thru for lunch got my daughter 1 corn dog and it was horrible, it was over cooked so hard and dry it was almost falling apart you can see the sausage peaking out from inside so dark it almost looks black, this is not edible at all. It's upsetting because I didn't see it till we got home and it's an inconvenience to drive back.

Desired outcome: Wish I could get my money back, but that’s not gonna happen, the food should be inspected and approved before it’s bagged up.

Repeated back: "crispy chicken sandwich". No... Pulled up, got my drink, then literally waited 15 MINUTES - holding up the line and myself - no one bothering to give me a statu...
