I had such a wonderful experience at Sonic during my recent visit! From the moment I arrived, the employees were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Their positive attitude and genuine smiles made me feel appreciated as a customer right away. The service was quick and organized, and you could tell the team worked well together to make sure every order was handled with care. My food arrived fresh, hot, and perfectly prepared — everything tasted delicious! It’s not often that fast food feels this fresh and well-made, but this location absolutely delivered. It’s clear that the staff takes pride in their work and truly values their customers. Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere — I’ll definitely be back!

The cherry limeade is my favorite with cheese sticks! I like the 1/2 price cheeseburgers on Tuesday nights too. The staff is friendly and the service is fast! I like ordering ahead on the app. I like the coupons in the app. The drinks are always tasty. I like the coupons on the app, I wish I could stack the coupons.

I had stopped going to sonic for about 4 months now I just couldn’t find a good one that prepared the food correctly. Like Hot & cooked with love like 🧽 Bob 😂 but all seriousness this is the best sonic I’ve been to in almost a year thanks for satisfying my taste buds with such delicious hot and well prepared food. & also thanks to the Sonic App I got a full course meal different options for $8.24 receipt shows.

I decided to give this Sonic one more chance. Everyone has a bad day sometimes. Maybe that was the day Bryce had a bad day. I stopped and ordered breakfast again. Bryce was the one who brought my food to me. And he was back to his nice sweet self. Food was just as I ordered it. It was great. And Bryce was super nice and professional. I am super glad I gave them another chance!! Worst experience I have ever had at Sonic!!!! Very rude car hop that brought my food!!! Took 33 minutes to get food that was cold when I got it. Drink was watered down when I got it like it had been sitting for a while. I was not happy at all and when I grabbed the bag my food was in and grabbed my drink the car hop, I think his name was Bryce, said "you don't have to be rude." That was very unprofessional being that he is the one that was being rude. He never apologized for the wait. Just said "here" when he brought it to me. I will NEVER go back to this Sonic again. And I usually stop here every day. My whole family will be giving our business to someone else from now on.

I'm currently on a Sonic kick. Ever since Halloween and someone brought me a "trick-or-treat" blast, I can't get enough! Even though they don't have it on the menu anymore, the staff at the University location are so nice, they STILL make one for me! I LOVE this Sonic and I highly recommend going.

Its been 3 yrs since I've been to Sonic. The menu has some new food options like chicken fried steak sandwich. I guess since then my taste buds have changed bc I only ate half the sandwich..

📍 Sonic Drive-In – McKinney, TX 🗓️ 11/28/2025 ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5) Sonic is… decent these days. The drinks are still the star of the show ✨🥤 — I love the Route 44 Cherry Limeade 🍒🍋‍🟩. They still know how to make a good drink! 😋💯 But the food quality? Yeah… it’s gone way down the tubes 😕🍔⬇️. Nothing terrible, but definitely not what it used to be. Still a solid spot if you’re craving a drink run, but don’t expect the food to blow your mind. 😬 ⭐ 3 stars

Waitress forgot to take my money but i did the commendable thing and corrected it. tenders were over cooked, the headset system could use an update or staff re-trained cause its so annoying to have to constantly repeat yourself.

My chili cheese dog was not the quality I'm use to from Sonic. Not enough chili and the cheese was overpowering. Also if we're only going to receive 1 marinara with an order of mozz sticks, the packet could be bigger. There's not enough in that small container for the entire serving

This had to be the worst food there is. I got jumbo pop corn chicken and it was aweful. There is absolutely no reason to be back.

I just called to ask too ask what time they closed. The phone rang and they answered it then hung up. I called back a girl answered as if it was her personal phone didn’t even say hi sonic. She very rudely answers says barely hello then I ask hey just calling to see what time y’all close and she stays quiet then rudely says 12:00 then I was about to thank her but she hung up on me right away. I still had a question for her about if they are doing any DISCOUNTS for VETERAN’S on VETERANS DAY. Again these EMPLOYEES NEED RETRAINING y’all don’t OWN SONIC y’all REPRESENT & WORK for them. If y’all don’t LIKE your JOB maybe you should find new EMPLOYMENT. Way to TREAT YOUR VETERANS SONIC & any other POOR CUSTOMER that comes across these people. Too the OWNER if you want to here these recordings on how RUDE your STAFF is which REPRESENTS YOU I have them. If anyone else wants to here theses recordings please contact me and you can hear them for yourselves…

I ordered a Tender Burger, and it was easily the worst sandwich I've had in Dallas—possibly all of Texas. Despite only three cars ahead of me, it took 15 minutes to prepare. Within 10 minutes of eating it, I felt nauseous and had stomach discomfort. Definitely not a place I’d recommen

9/10/25 Update: I tried this Sonic again today. I regret it. I ordered a water with blood orange and vanilla and it tasted mostly like water. Didn’t really have any flavor. I ordered fries with shredded cheese but they melted American cheese on top instead. I asked for jalapeño ranch and was given regular ranch. The fries taste old and greasier than they should. This is why I usually don’t tip upfront. Every time I do my order is not what I wanted or just terrible. I ordered groovy fries with shredded cheese but they gave me the with a slice of cheese melted on top

Don't get the breakfast burritos here! So soaked in grease and gross could only choke down half. Sick for two hours till I puked my brain out. 🤢🤮 I never want to go to sonic again. 🤢 Came here to order a BOGO entree on my app and they turned off online ordering early.

Drinks are awful! The carbonation to syrup ratio is way off- too much carbonation! Fries are super greasy and taste bitter. We pressed the red button to have them come back to get the fries and drinks but they never answered the call. Choose any other location y’all because this one sucks! Worst one I’ve ever been to.

Placed an order for two burgers and a drink, they accidentally gave it to the car next to me and when they realized their mistake he tried to give me the same food he handed to the stranger!! without offering to make me a new one plus when I did ask he went inside for two mins and came right back with the same order. Do better sonic

Me and my friend came here for a quick drink, we ordered a cherry slushy and a paradise sunset. The lady that took our order could not hear us, which I understand happens wearing a headset but you should make sure the order is right before making me pay. My order comes out with cheddar peppers which I did not order and didn’t come with the paradise sunset. They come back with the paradise sunset and told me to pay for that too. And I told them that we ordered it and not the cheddar peppers, and the price difference is very different. She asked for the cheddar peppers back which I did pay for and didn’t offer a refund for the difference. I am very disappointed in my experience.

Do the employees not know how to count or read? Perhaps both? Incompetence at its highest level at this Sonic. This is a simple job. Yet, the people working can't follow simple directions. I ordered 3 RT 44 cherry vanilla Dr. Peppers and 1 medium cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper with a request for a drink carrier. They only brought me 3 drinks and no drink carrier. PLUS the medium Dr. Pepper looked like they added milk to it. It's the one in the pics. The carhop had a crummy attitude and does not represent Sonic in a positive way. This girl only knows how to do the bare minimum, if that. NEVER going back to this location.

Okay service for awful food. Ordered a 5 piece tender dinner, and received a box with 5 piece of overcooked sandpaper. Only saving grace is the unseasoned tater tots that hasn’t been over cooked. If I wanted to dry out my mouth, then I could’ve done it for free at home with dirt. Why are the tenders brown? Do they not clean the deep fryer from 1920? Drinks are always good though…

My ticket clearly shows I asked for light ice. Obviously it wasn't until I'd left that I realized I'd been served an entire cup of ice with little drink. I've been to this location many times, usually without issue. I will not be returning.
