Always good for a route 44! Service can be a little slow, even ordering ahead. But I think that is due to lack of staffing. It's worth the wait though
Really great service to go along with good on-line deals!!
Quick service, always good food. Sometimes the fries are a bit too crispy but overall great experience.
I got two $5 gift cards due to a prior mess up at a different Sonic location, but this location had our order correct, the person who gave us our order both times was pleasant (two-tone purple and pink hair), and it was an overall good experience. Me and my wife will likely be stopping by here after work more often for our snacks.
I get breakfast here every morning and have for the past 6 months or so. What drove me to finally make a review was a bad experience at another location. I do think your app needs some serious optimization, as it caused me to accidentally order at the covert location and the food was AWEFUL. I ended up ordering another burrito from your burkhart location because I just couldn't eat the other it was so bad. Seeing these 2 next to each other.. wow. I've never had bad food from your burkhart location. It's always a large portion of food. Hot. Fresh. ALWAYS good. And let me tell you your food runner Jeff is amazing. He brings me my food most days, and some days has been so fast I didn't even have time to check in with the app. He's already walking out the door with my food. Always apologizing for the wait even if it's been LITERALLY 30 seconds. There was a day I pulled around to the trash can to clear some room before pulling in to a spot and there he was bringing my food out already. Whatever you do, pay him what he is worth and keep him at all costs. He is definitely one of those people who takes pride in his work and those people are hard to come by, especially in food service.
Food was good but one of the burgers came out with the wrong stuff on it which was fine. But the large lemonade was filled to the brim with ice no room for the drink. We'll go back but a little more attention to these details would be greatly appreciated
We really love their groovy fries, although we try not to eat many. I wasn't impressed with fish sandwich, it was prepared the way I asked, just not a good quality necessarily. I tried sugar free peach in my Sprite Zero. Will definitely order again. Car hop was super polite and friendly, even though she was running her booty off.
Waited several minutes for employee to take my order then he cut me off before I completed order. I pushed button for service twice and he didn’t come back to me. After 5 minutes I got another employee to answered the order button and I had to start another order and wait for another order to be completed before I got both of my orders. This is the second time I had to wait way too long at this location. The last time I drove off and went somewhere else. I will never go back here and waist my time. Hire some people if you can’t keep up.
My food is usually fresh and doesn't taste too bad but there's always something wrong with my order. You pay the extra $0.60 for more fruit yet they can't seem bothered to throw an extra scoop in there and then if you ask for no pickles they just don't put anything on your burger.
Menus are not up-to-date, as combo numbers have changed(was told this by the staff). Ordered a brkfst wrap, and it might have had 1 piece of bacon in it, but from taste and visual appearance, i think it was 1/2 a piece crumbled at best. Wrap and tots were luke-warm. Coffee was fresh. Asked for side mustard when ordering for wife's sandwich, no mustard. Sandwich was also just warm. I've had issues like this, at this location in the past. I stopped because it was conveniently located for my errands today, and it had been about 6 months to a year since I had been here, so I hoped it would be different. I'll be driving to other locations in the future.
Drive in music was nice. I did order a rt. 44 ocean water and sat in stall #6 for about 15-20 minutes. Drove off. Cannot believe I just wasted 15 minutes waiting on a drink.
I tried to place my order with the app but kept getting an error code, so just drove to the location. Arrived at 10:50 pm. 4 other cars in slots so I pulled into a slot but it was cash only went to the next slot and it was out of order,drove to the other side of the building and 2 more cash only slots and then they shut the lights off. As I was pulling off angrily I heard another customer tell the lady on the speaker she had been sitting there for 10 minutes and no one took her order.
ordered my food online. got a burger meal with a large mozzarella stick that COMES with marinara. they didn’t have the marinara in the bag when they brought it to me so i pressed the red button and asked for some and she charged me $.50 for it. This sonic is a joke and seriously needs to be shut down
I had a pretty unpleasant experience here last night, I went around 9 P.M on a Monday and ordered two cheeseburgers, a medium mozzarella sticks, and a Dr Pepper float. The employees were out near the back of the restaurant yelling profanity’s quite loudly, and my food arrived almost 15 minutes late. My mozzarella sticks were downright nasty, the two burgers were not hot, they forgot both of my sauces, and my Dr Pepper was soooo flat in my float! Just horrible! I swear i cannot get good service from any of the sonic’s around here!!
Where to start: Let’s see...the attendant was clearly distracted as I gave her my order 5 times...she struggled to key the order so I asked her to start again. Then the order came out...not on a tray or serving platter...just in a bag...hanging down to the side it was her sack lunch for school. Burgers...as shown...we sloppy and frankly poor tasting...I would ask for it to be remade but I’d fear for my health and safety. Frys and tots didn’t come out with the burger...those came out 3-5 mins later... The motz sticks we ordered didnt come out...we had to go inside to ask for those to be produced. Oh did I mention no napkins... The franchise owner of this branch should be embarrassed. Like owning a moped...you own one and you ride it...you just don’t tell anyone. You get one star tonight only cause I couldn’t take away stars you already earned...
Went here on Sunday. What a horrible experience. We ordered our food on the app so it would be fresh when we arrived. Instead, our food sat out for 45 minutes before it was served to us, one of the sides we ordered was completely missing, and one of the burgers was served to us on a disgustingly moldy bun. Got a ridiculous automated response from Sonic, so I'm posting publicly just to warn other people.
Worst service I have ever dealt with.The lady that took my order cut me off in the middle of my order and went to another person.Onion Rings were burned.....
I had a mobile pick up order for a diet Coke. Here a lot of have waited for 25 minutes for it. The service sucks. I will never be back and blast on every social media. I even asked the kid if he got my order, he mumbled something then wouldn’t make eye contact w me. A real POS. Leaving without my drink.
