Sonic Drive-In service nacogdoches tx

I pulled up to Sonic and finally got a response from pushing the red button about 3 minutes after I pushed it. I ordered food. 40 minutes later the food came out. It was all cold except for the pretzel sticks. The chicken sandwich was not made the way it was asked. They came and picked up the sandwich and never returned. The lights were turned off for closing time. We left without the corrected sandwich.

Sonic Drive-In service

Complaint on sonic on dowlen in Beaumont Texas. Listen, I have traveled around the US for business and this is by far the WORSE sonic I have ever been to. Not kidding even a little bit. I go to sonic (not this one) EVERYDAY for a sonic coke. I worked 12 hours today and told my co workers I couldn't wait to get off so I could go straight to sonic. They all told me definitely not to go to that one because I would be waiting forever. Well I did because its the closest to my job and they were not kidding. All I ordered was a large coke. That's it! I waited 15 mins for it and backed out and left because there were no other cars on the stalls so there was no excuse! I never complain like this about fast food places but this was absolutely ridiculous!

Sonic Drive-In cheese burger

Went to sonic drive thru and ordered the cheese burger special and was told they didn't have a special on at the time. I was in a hurry so didn't have time to argue so ordered a regular cheese burger and tots. When I got up to the pick up window, I told the young man that I had just seen the special advertised on TV the night before. He talked to some one in the building and then told me that there was a special which was a double cheese burger and tots for 2.99. They went ahead and gave me the regular cheese burger which was almost uneatable. The buns were hard and dried out, no sauce, a sprinkling of shredded lettuce, very thin slice of tomato which was sort of white instead of red, and the whole sandwich was just kind of thrown together and squashed flat. I'm sorry to complain but I thought sonic served better quality burgers than I received. It seems to me that there's a total lack of training when it comes to putting together a quality product at that drive in.

Sonic Drive-In management

I love sonic food, but I've talked to several employees and Amory management is very mean to employees, they are not treated right.they tell them one thing and do another, they are not paid same or treated same .also who ever orders doesn't order enough they are always running out of stuff. Please check we love our sonic and hate all the bad rap they get, check on management .its not good for fast turn over of employees, this causes confusion. And things not running smooth. Thank you so very much,

Sonic Drive-In customer service and wait time

Went to my sonic to get milkshakes around 830pm.Waited behind someone at the speaker for over 10 mins, then someone came out and waved us all forward. I guess the speaker box was broken? Waited over another 10mins because they took the cars order ahead of us and had to make it. A worker came out with a drink to us and I told him we havent even ordered but would love to! He ignored that and just kept going down the line. Drink belong 2 cars back. That sends the wrong message to your customers when one sees that. Finally get to window and order and I ask if the speaker was broken. She says no sensors not working. Told her there is no sign. I watched the car behind me leave because of wait and 2 others leave from sitting at the speaker. I thought drinks were half off after 8pm. I was not paying over $9.00 for 2 drinks after waiting over 20 mins. No sorry for your wait or anything. If the deal is over that's cool, but how about saying that. This is the second time I've had issues over the drive thru. We come often and have never been treated like this and experienced such poor customer service. I will not be recommending to others or coming back anytime soon.

Sonic Drive-In about service

9/09/18. I will not be going back to my neighborhood Sonic. Sunday there was no one in the drive- thru or at the stalls; I pulled up to the window drive thru ( speaker to order has NOT WORKED IN MONTHS) and I sat there and sat there. I could see the lady messing around with the tea. After a couple of minutes I drove around again very slowly and pulled up to the window, and still she kept ignoring me another person cane from the back and they preceded to talk. I hate honking my horn, but I did AND I SAT THERE BY THEN I WAS MAD.
WHEN SHE STARTED TOWARD THE WINDOW I WAS SO MAD. I LEFT

Sonic Drive-In drive in onion rings

Normally I LOVE Sonic onion rings.

But my local store here in Dickson, TN has been slacking.
When I pay $3 for a small order, I expect them to be better than this (see picture attached.)
Most weren't even edible because they were all clumped together rather than brown & crispy like they should be!
This has happened now THREE times so I see it as a pattern. Unacceptable.

Sonic Drive-In food quality and customer service

On 9/11/18 we visited the store at 471 Mary Esther blvd fwb FL 32547 (850)243-7014 stall #17 62 Seth chk 349 6:48 pm tray:76 . I ordered the chicken dinner combo and ask for gravy and Fries they said they don't have gravy and I said that's fine and order the doctor Pepper when I got the box it contained tater tots and the chicken strips were very dark and burnt tastimg. The strips did not meet the proper internal temp for held products. It is obvious the grease hasn't been changed and it jus poor quality. I also felt like the man taking my order was a little short with me and definitely did not look isten to the changes I wanted to make. Also the screen went back by into the red button haa been pushed we were not able to see the order while it on the screen and then were not able to pay at the stall. I love Sonic but tonight was unacceptable.

Sonic Drive-In food, and customer service

My children and I Swang through the drive-thru today on our way home. There was absolute silence when I pulled up to the speaker, after waiting for a moment, the girl says "What can I get for you?!" Which I thought was extremely rude... I know if a girl at my store greeted a customer of mine like that I'd flip. So, I ordered I asked for two kids meals and a small cheese stick a small pepper. Both drinks I asked to have no ice. It took almost 10 minutes to get to the window after ordering with only one car in front of me... I get to the window, was greeted with the wrong total, given my drinks which had ice in them, (okay whatever) then she shoved my bags at me slammed the window, then reopened it and asked if I wanted sauce with the cheese sticks... I said "Yes", slams the window grabs the bag and shoves it out the window almost dropping the overfilled bag if condiments on the ground. Once again slams the window, I waved to get her attention to ask for my receipt. She grabbed it said " Hear" an slammed the window once again. I looked at my receipt an noticed I was charged for a large motts instead of a small...maybe that's why she didn't give it to me? But, needless to say, the attitude and the unwelcome feeling that she gave to me and my kids was ridiculous, I'm not one to complain I am a restaurant manager an all I know is that she is the face of your business an she isn't representing you the way you should be.

Sonic Drive-In half price shakes after 8 pm

I went to get a half priced shake and the sign was still advertising promotion and still says available on menu but when I ordered I was told the promotion ended on Labor Day. "Corporate hadn't sent the new signage yet". All they had to do was take the letters down from the sign in the front of the store. Bad marketing practices. You should honor what you are advertising!

Sonic Drive-In sonic app ordering.

1. Menu system on line is terrible. All I wanted was a double Cheese burger with lettuce, Mayo, Tomato and Onions No pickles. What I got is a junior burger (smaller than regular) with no mayo, tomato and anything else but pickles. The menu is very hard to understand because it kept adding items that I did not want. And then when I got ready to place the order there was no evidentiary item to click on.

2. Also, Could not check in. Phone kept say LOADING OVER AND OVER.

3. Receipt did not match what was delivered.

4. Have to say I gave Sonic a chance, but I'm doubting that I will every use the app again. Good Luck with Dat.

Sonic Drive-In orders

It's terrible when you pull into a sonic in tunica, mississippi and you push the button to order and you sit there 15 minutes and no one helps you. So we ask a worker if the stall was working and he said yea and still no help so me moved to another stall and pushed the button and waited for another 10 and still no help. No wonder all the workers were sitting outside talking and laughing. We will never be back there. Crappie service. We will never be back.

Sonic Drive-In food

I ordered a chicken sandwich meal that took almost 15 minutes to come, when it did I said thanks and left. I live about 15 minutes away so I decided to eat in the car ... I couldn't even bite into the sand which it was so old! And hard! It hurt my teeth when I tried to bite it! How disgusting how could you serve anyone food like that! Waste of almost $9 on food that wasn't edible! Disgusting!

Sonic Drive-In drive thru service

Came to sonic at 8:00 and got into the drive thru. I ordered a coney meal and I asked for a slush she said there were no more slushes. Then she asked me to repeat my order. Then when I changed the drink to a cherry limeade and asked for a milkshake she said no shakes after 8. So I said hell no and went to McDonald's. I literally never eat there and was trying to try something different. It was a mistake. Terrible store.

Sonic Drive-In service

On one occasion I ordered an order of tater-tots and a drink. After 40 minutes and I was now running late I had to tell them I needed my food or a refund. They gave me a refund at this point 45 minutes into an order of tater tots and a drink. A few days later on 09/02/18 I sat at the drive thru menu for 15 minutes with no response. I thought the speaker may have been broken. I drove to the window where a female appeared to be on a cell phone, saw me and turned her back while I sat for another 10 minutes with no kind of response before I left to eat somewhere else.

Sonic Drive-In customer service/ ice cream machine

Pulled to stall #20 and pressed the button. It took a long time for someone to ask to take my order. I proceeded to state my order. And no one ever responded. So I pressed the button again. Processed to order I was cut off and she stated the ice cream machine is down. Then I proceeded to order something else. It was another 15 minute wait. You promote I cream all over the place and the ice cream machine is down. And you're rude. Very disappointed! It's not even 5 cars why are we waiting so long.
