Sonic Drive-In
reviews and complaints

I placed a pretty big order today which included a corn dog. The bag was packed very full so I did not check it before I left. When I got home the corn dog was not in the bag. This was very disappointing since this was all that one of my family members ordered for their meal.

Whomever was working the window that not only chastised my sister for picking up the food 20 mins late (Our bad, WE'VE BEEN AT THE HOSPITAL ALL DAY WITH OUR FAMILY) continued to be rude by hanging up on her on the menu board. Seriously? I know it was an inconvenience but maybe we should keep in mind that things happen and people have things going on.

Used the app to order ahead. Got here, checked in, watched it say on the screen they were on their way. After a few minutes the screen went back so we pushed the button. Then they wanted to argue with us about ordering on the app even though it clearly shows on the phone we did. Well finally after 30 minutes they finally bring our one drink and one corn dog. Still with a snappy attitude like we did something because they cant work their ordering system.

Matt Barnhart and Tabby Pierce are having and inappropriate relationship at work. I was informed that Tabby is in fact married and works for Matt Barnhart. Tabby is a manager at Potosi Missouri sonic and Matt is partner/manager at Sonic in Washington Missouri. I do currently work for sonic and would wish to remain anonymous. I know this is going on and so do other people from both sonic locations.

Me and my family stop by the Sonic frequently. On several occasions we have stopped to get shakes and were told the machine was broken. Me and my son stopped last night on the way home and ordered shakes in the drive thru. When we reached the window the staff informed me that they couldn't make shakes since the machine was broken. I don't understand why that wasn't mentioned when I ordered? This is the third or the fourth time we stopped and have been told the machines were down in the last month or so. I almost feel like it's an excuse because my previous stop in late evening I was told after I paid my tab in the car shop the machine just broke. I spoke to the lady next to me who ordered shakes and they received their's. I'm not sure what the real issue is but I'm sorry the excuse is getting old. I've told my son that the uncertainty just isnt worth the drive for shakes and we have been going to McDonald's instead.

I ordered on line got to sonic and have been waiting for my order for 5 mins I thought it would be ready when I got here. That's what the app is for. And they charged me full price for my drink supposed to be half price. Said it would be ready at 8:45 it is now 8:57. Just got it. And she said if you order combos on line you pay full price for a drink. That is really not a good business practice. I don't think that all Sonics are the same. The drinks are prepared differently at every sonic here in East Texas. For instance I love the frozen Limeades and they always taste different. Some with fruit and most no fruit. It is advertised as Real Fruit frozen limeades and I have to ask for real fruit every time. Do care for the app because if this.
Thank you Melanie

I got your text about half price burgers so I go there when I get lunch around 445pm. I wait 10 minutes to order then get told by some punk kid I had to leave the drive thru & wait 7 more minutes to order! No one has time for your bs games! Ppl had been getting the half price burgers all day including my friend at the good feet store across the road but when I get there its games! My lunch got wasted & no food due to this bs. Your customer service is freaking horrible! Who treats customers like this!?

I went through the drive through and ordered chili cheese dogs. Paid for them at the window. Left the parking lot and discovered that I had dogs with onion relish mustard and catsup. I returned to Sonic and went to the drive through. When the guy asked for my order I told him that my previous order was screwed up. Instead of asking me what the correct order should be he told me to drive to the window. When I finally got to the window I explained that the order was wrong. The girl took the wrong order from me and asked what I had ordered. I waited another 15 minutes while food was taken to all the cars behind me and also to those parked for curb services. When I finally got my food I was brushed off with an "I'm sorry" as if none of this ever happened. I wasted over 45 minutes trying to get my food...the correct food.

Watermelon is the southern flavor, Mississippi is known for that flavor. I have ordered a Watermelon Slushy everyday for a long time. Sometimes two a day. I would like you all to bring that flavor back. I have started a petition and voiced my opinion to the local owner Buddy McClain and have been told the decision was brought down from Oklahoma. Please reconsider this decision and bring back the Watermelon Slushy.

Can someone please explain why they discontinued the cake batter shakes I know it had to be a top seller an honestly what got my business... it should be a regular menu choice not a tempary thing cause my local Sonic was always running out... nor do you have the deep fried Oreos either anymore what the crap why u getting rid of all the good stuff that sells... please bring them back they my favorite lol!

Our experience at Sonic 1700 Highway 157 North Mansfield, Tx 76063 CHK 718

After placing our order and arriving at the window, we determine our order was incomplete. This was corrected. The Medium Grape slush was left off when ordering.

We also order a Medium Cake Batter Shake. This shake was the worst shake we have ever had from Sonic. Very disappointing. The shake was gritty and extremely yellow, like it wasn't made correctly. This is the first time I have ever seen my daughter throw away an almost full milk shake.

We typically go at least weekly to a sonic, normally not this one. The other times we have ordered this shake it was great.

My desired resolution would be a refund or replacement coupon to be used at any Sonic. I was going to take it back tonight but my daughter already threw it away.

I hate seeing my daughter disappointed like this when she really enjoys this milkshake so much.

I ordered a large butterfinger blast. The only candy in it was what was on the very top. I order these all the time, so I know how the butterfinger is stirred into the entire blast. I told them about it on my next visit and was told I was wrong because they stir it into all the blasts. I think I should know what I received. Next time I will take a picture. If I didn't live 8 miles away I would have taken it back. I don't shop with people that don't do things correctly. I will give them another chance.
