Amazing place to eat, always a friendly environment. The speed of the service is out of this world, have never had any issues with this location. The foods always fresh and the faces always smiling best sonic around.

Whether you are dining in or taking out, this is one of the best Sonic locations in the Texas Panhandle. The food is delicious, plus the service is fast and friendly. There are even TVs in the dining area. When we are returning home from Amsrillo, my wife and I enjoy stopping for a bite at this Sonic location.

Located next to a truck stop right off the main road, this Sonic is convenient for a quick bite while traveling. I ordered the Sonic double cheeseburger with onion rings and it was among the best cheeseburger I’ve ever eaten at a Sonic. The onion rings were perfectly cooked and fresh. My server, Mercedes, was friendly and prompt with my order. I would definitely eat there again and highly recommend.

Don't know if the staff will ever see this, but, have to commend them for tonight's order (06/16). Decent size, 7 meals. They were done quick. Were tasty AND they packed and marked them individually which was very helpful. So thanks!

Consistent. Definitely follows the norm of one fast food location having the same taste and quality as all the other locations ( a good trait). Staff is friendly. Drive through is slower than most, otherwise 5 stars.

I ordered a chicken strip meal with tator tots. It took a little while (as per usual for Sonic), but my order was wrong. I received French fries (which had too much salt for my liking). Unfortunately, I was in the road an already 10 min down the road before I realized the mistake. The chicken strips were good, as well as the single tot that made it into the box. Not horrible, just not my favorite.

Ordered a chocolate milk shake. Too much chocolate and not enough ice cream. It was very milky. Usually I can't sip it with a straw for an hour or more. This I would have made a mess with a spoon. Very sloppy work. I'll try the Dairy Queen next time. It was also very pricey for something I ended up throwing away.

Have had to go there numerous times for grabbing food for a harvesting crew. Most of the time the orders have been spot on, albeit maybe taking a bit but that's to be expected when you order 6-7 burger combos. The last few times I've been the order was messed up by getting a burger wrong or forgetting it, as well as not receiving a receipt for business use. Overall the food itself is on par, and it's clean on the inside, but some of the employees could really use a lesson on proper customer service.

Just waited 30 minuts for a chili/cheese tots and a cherry limeade. Finally came out after 2 customers left out of frustration. The tots were still frozen in the middle. Didn’t have time to whine about it because of the long wait so I ate my cold lunch and went on my way. Really should get a new manager in this place. They’ve been terrible since they opened.

I really wish I could choose zero stars. This has got to be the slowest Sonic EVER!!! We have waited 18 mins for two meals. (Walked in to order) During this time there has been 2 cars come thru the drive thru and one car parked. Doesn’t seem to be busy! The workers seem to be happy, sounds like they were all having a great time talking and laughing with each other.

J
Josh Lowe

We have been waiting 45 mins for 2 burgers. Absolutely the slowest place on earth. This isn't the first time but I figured I would give it another chance.. this will be the last time I eat at sonic in panhandle. I've noticed this is alot of the reviews. I dont understand why they cant fix the problem.

Slow slow and slower. They always get something wrong on top of it! Best moment was waiting while there were other customers to hear someone in the back yelling "all these people need to just go home and cook!" Yah, one of 3 fast food places within 30 miles, and from now on we will make that drive.

New employees and new management has not made any difference. I literally just sat at the stall to get a drink during happy hour for 15 minutes. Employees could go outside and talk and smoke but I guess customers don't matter. Got fed up and left.

B
Billy Davis

Waited at the counter for over thirty minutes. Drive through only had a couple of cars and no one at drive ups. The employees were more concerned about talking and cutting up with each other than they were about their jobs. It would be nice to see an actual trained manager present to make sure that these kids do their jobs

This Sonic is one of the worst sonics I have been too and that's saying a lot since I have been to the ones in Amarillo! Every time we go we have to wait for 25 minutes for 2 drinks while the others get served there food and drinks they ordered we shouldn't have to wait that long just for 2 drinks. 🤦🏻‍♀️ There food is always sloppy and cold, the prices can never stay the same, I go one day get a meal and pay $7.53 then go the very next day get the exact same thing - a corn dog and pay $9.95 like why is it $2.42 more than yesterday when I got one less item than the day before and some how tastes worse than the day before too.

One of the slowest Sonic's I've been to. I ordered ahead by 20 minutes to get two burritos and three drinks. It still too 15 minutes for my food to be delivered. After seeing all the reviews on how slow this place is you would think it would improve.

Fries were stale, my chicken club was more like a quarter of a chicken breath pounded thin, think schnitzel but miniature. Service was polite, but food overall was pretty lame. Do better. Probably won’t spend money there again.
