Some sonics disappoint, but this one is awesome! I commute from Lubbock to Crosbyton a few times a month for work, and I've always been impressed with the quality and service here!

I have to say although the orcas wrong at first, the chili burger looked great. They remade the order ,was very professional and the burger was better than any sonic I've been to in a long time. Thanks

This is by far the friendliest Sonic I've ever been to. The guy taking the order was super polite. Another employee noticed my dog in the truck at the drive through and offered a pup cup. Both could not have been friendlier. Order was perfectly prepared. Perfect experience on New Years Eve. Thank you to a great team.

My wife and daughters have stopped by here many times in the past. They’ve always had good things to say and been very pleased with the service and quality of drinks and snacks. Today I went through the drive through for a couple burger meals. Everything was good and they did just as asked and didn’t put onions on the burgers. They didn’t add jalapeños on it, but that was the only thing that wasn’t perfect about the order and hospitality of the employees. I can live with that and see why my better half says this location is GTG.

Good eats, Got what I ordered right, long wait than normal but I ain't impatient about it like others. Friendly staff. They improved quite a bit actually. Wait time reduced pretty good. Staff as always friendly. Orders I've made have been correct without error. Good on you guys

Was ok. Corn dog was already made. Prefer it fresh and hot pulled up out of the deep fryer.

Sonics food is what you would expect. Their drinks are always good and I can't complain about the price as long as you can get it ordered on the app. Their app though leaves alot to be desired. The app is constantly freezing or not working for whatever reason. Yet they don't budge on having to order using it to get any discounts. The app also doesn't always price things right. Like half the items on the $1.99 menu are actually charging people almost $4. No telling how many people they rip off with that a day. Just be careful ordering there. Always check your order and prices before paying.

I ordered popcorn chicken & my first thought when I received my order was oh no!! You could tell the chicken was old! I maybe got 4 pieces that were edible! The rest was too hard! I love their drinks & ice cream. Staying away from the food!

The one in idalou takes at least 30 minutes no matter what you get and the fries are usually cold so clear your schedule if you want to sit here and wait the car hops are nice it just take forever to get your cold food

Spent $12 on an oreo blast with Caramel and a reeses blast with Caramel. Both orders were wrong. The oreo blast was a cup with only vanilla ice cream and cookies sprinkled on top. Everytime we get ice cream here it's either wrong or isn't mixed up.

Everything was cold the hamburger was a rock spent 25 on meal Everything was gross !!

Left without our drinks and food. Ordered on the app. Somehow they did not have lids for Rt44 drinks. They were unable to correct our order to downgrade everything to large size instead and wanted us to order again on the app. It was a mess. Did not get anything and the bank is still holding the amount we initially paid on the app.

I don’t usually write reviews but this Sonic is actually horrible. Do not get on the mobile app they will never bring your food out (this has happened 3 times now) and if you ask anyone for help they look at you crazy. While I was there I saw they were getting everyone’s orders completely wrong and having people wait 30+ min. Just go to Lubbock and go to one of those locations or just skip it

So it was a normal day and I got off work and decided to go get my normal a route 44 and a sonic double, I ordered and went to the drive through when I could see into the kitchen I saw something suspicious like someone trying to hide something, it was a small and woman and a larger man, I didn’t really think of it to much, when I get my food I opened to make sure it was all there it was and I went home, when I got home I was gonna go enjoy my burger from sonic it so happened that their was a full eyebrow like a fake eyelash, I will never be going back to this place, I recommend others do the same

You messed up my food everyday when I come there, someone threw a cup at me. I had to wait a hour for my food.

I had just ordered some food for my family in the drive thru when i had seen a worker by the name of oscar with casual clothing, possibly a manger/owner itching in his pants before making the food.

Sooooooooooo I went here expecting to have a decent dinner, my order was pretty simple. 1 ocean water and a burger, wanna know what I got? A hotdog and an ocean water but whoever Jessica is dropped my drink on me some guy, i think she called him Oscar, slapped her in the bottom. She laughed when I mentioned the food was wrong and told me to drive away. So I went home feeling uncomfortable with the wrong order and soggy pants.

Asked for no onions got a hand full drink was packed with ice lady taking order wasn't nice the app didn't discount tried calling numerous times phn was busy every time .

Takes absolutely forever to get the food. Ill pre-order 15-25 minutes before I get there and it can still take up to 25 minutes for the order to come out.

They screw up orders and lie to customers about what is on the order. Then they dont even offer to remake the order, only replace what is missing or wrong, which makes you wait and all the other food you ordered gets old and nasty waiting on them to fix their mistake. Not sure its worth it to order food there anymore. Its gone down hill in a bad way over the past couple of years.

Rachel Green

Don’t expect them to get the order right the first (or second) time. DON’T ask questions. Not about your order, definitely not about deals, specials or promotions. They are loud and aggressive and defensive. They do NOT want to talk to you. Better yet, just go home, they don’t want your money.

worst ever. I ordered two drinks online just to check in and wait 15 minutes for my drinks. Then to top it all off, we get our drinks and we drive off. I take a huge drink because I was looking forward to my Dr. Pepper and guess what - both were wrong!! I realize that I could have checked before we left but after sitting there for 15 minutes already, we were upset and nobody else was there so you would think they would have gotten it right. Never again.

Ordered a bacon cheese burger and they forget the bacon!!had an oreo blast . and didnt get it with order before i could ask kid closes window and turns around never repeated order.also ordered a strawberey limeade no ice and all i could get was chunks of cherries. As if the staff messed up starting making a cherry limeade and dumped it and started making a strawberry one on same cup and mixture of cherries.order here alot and last few months.. This place has gone down in quality and customer service. Second time in a row my orders are wrong. And i use the app to order. Total lack of workmanship .so let s see what "owner says on my post ..since response to all post like mine is pretty much saying take it up to franchise Take responsibility for your business and fix your management.alot of the 1 star post are recent. Some months or less mainly.. your response will show how much you care for your customers.
