Man I did an online order for triple smash burgers, one was the pretzel bun. Let me tell you these hit the spot, I can't wait to order again. I know staff was working hard tonight, but it was well worth the wait.

Made an order and picked it inside and noticed another customer inside and he was touching all over a bag and saw it wasn’t his order which I found it gross he did that when I noticed it was my order so when I asked if it could be remade again, the worker took it back inside and was able to make it redone again which I was thankful for. Everything was hot and fresh!

Sonic Drive-In on Wilson Ave is a nostalgic blast with a modern twist. I swung by for a late-night bite and spent about $15. The Quarter Pound Double Cheeseburger was juicy and satisfying, and the Tater Tots were crispy perfection. I couldn't resist a Classic Shake to wash it all down—smooth and creamy, just like I remembered. The carhop service adds a fun, retro touch that makes the experience feel special. Whether you're craving a quick meal or a late-night snack, this Sonic delivers every time.

I love the Sonic in Uptown! The food is well prepared and delicious. I ordered 3 sandwiches and tater tots. After I took one bite I thought "wow" I should've bought more food. They're open til midnight and there super good milkshakes are half-off after 5 PM everyday. I love shakes!! Everybody in Chicagoland Y'all need to get at the Uptown Sonic on Wilson Ave right now!!! I just did and I'm going to keep coming back Ya heard!!!!! $Mike 4600 North!

It's the standard burgers and fries. And sometimes that's enough 🥹 Visited on a Sunday night after some physical activities. Not much crowd - good for a quick quiet bite. The double cheeseburger here is definitely better than the one at the famous M chain - juicy, just the right amount of cheese, and well packed such that the ingredients don't fall out. Fries were crispy too.

Standard Sonic, decent food for a decent price. You will wait a while for your food, which may bother dine-in customers more than drive-in or drive-through. Sometimes the service is nice, sometimes unpleasant. The milkshakes are by far my favorite in the entire city. My guilty pleasure. During the summer they are half price after 8:00PM.

This is not a review of the employees who were obviously hustling as fast as they good, but this location is woefully understaffed. Waited 20+ minutes for a limeade and a shake. Would love to see the franchise owner invest in their staff more

DON'T EAT HERE. THEY STEAL FROM YOU I came into the Wilson Sonic restaurant on Tuesday, February 10th, in the evening. I tried to purchase a $6 meal deal. I was told my card was declined. Two days later, I get charged for the meal. I went in Thursday, February 12th, at 7:00 to raise the issue with a manager and he did not help. So Sonic stole $6 from me. I will be going back, tomorrow and if nothing is done with a different manager, then I will be calling the police. I just want everyone else to be aware, so that they don't get taken advantage of.

Worst sonic. Waited 30 mins for 2 powerades. Powerades was super watered down and tasted like perfume. Don’t come here.

Carly Schuyler

The staff is very kind but there’s an extreme delay, whether you order in person or on the app. To get someone’s attention from the back takes at least 5 minutes due to the security system and I’ve never seen an employee at the front unless customers are trying to get their attention. Mobile orders aren’t addressed until you go in there. The place is always dirty, the bathroom , tables etc. The outdoor section is never opened even on the nicest summer day. I understand the location isn’t always ideal but this place is set up to fail with how poorly it’s run. Every time I come here (which has been at least a few handfuls) it feels like a mistake and a hassle.

Just do yourself a favor and don’t go here. Haven’t had sonic in years and had some time before a meeting so decided to try some ice cream and a meal. 1. Service was horrible. There was one other car there and they had me waiting multiple times. Then the girl taking my order kept putting things in my order that I didn’t order. MOST significantly: I asked if the corn dog was beef as I can’t have any pork. She said “let me check” then a second later said “yeah it’s beef”. While waiting around I looked it up and found it’s actually a mix of meats including pork. I mentioned this to her to which she then said “yeah it’s beef, pork, and chicken.” That was extremely irresponsible and a very serious oversight. And she glossed right past it. The guy bringing out my order was rushing like he had the ceo of sonic on the phone and had to rush back to the call. He didn’t bring out my sonic blast ice cream. When I said that he said let me grab it and came back with it. It was a large cup full of plain vanilla soft serve with some Reese’s sprinkled on top. Nothing mixed in. I pressed the red button to let them know of this predicament to which the girl cut me off and said let me get you that and cut the line off. It was mixed the second time with Reese’s thankfully. But like???? What’s the point of ordering a blast to bring out a cup of plain soft serve nothing mixed in. Just overall horrible service. I ordered the Sonic smasher. I know fast food pictures never look like real life, but when I tell you this burger looked like it was made out of playdough. There was not a single speck of crispy bits on the patties (which is the point of a smash burger lol) and it was not good at all. Overall horrible service and food. Save yourself the time and money.

There was one person working the counter & drive thru at 3:00 PM on a Tuesday. 8 cars in line and I was the only customer inside, still didn’t matter I never received service after standing there and finally just left. Why don’t they just close this location?

Steven Abraham

Employees are kind, but the food is so expensive and takes so long it really doesn't make sense to eat here. You can go to a real restaurant like uptown pizza across the street and get a burger for cheaper and faster, plus it will be made with good ingredients instead of whatever cheap stuff corporate Sonic thinks will get the best margins. If the food was either fast or cheap at least there would be some reason to put up with the "fast food" quality, but with these prices all your doing is paying a corporation instead of a small business for worse food.

Management needs to do better. Waited little over 40 mins to receive my meal. No employee available to check on our order. It seems as if they are severely understaffed. When I arrived there was just one person before us and assumed it would be quick. However several people have entered the drive thru and received their before us. People should not have to wait this long for fast food.

I called the restaurant several times but their answering system avoids all human contact. I wanted to give you the heads up that your brillo brush is falling apart on the food. You're going to hurt someone!!!!

We ordered two drinks. One limeade and a shake. We waited in the lobby for 21 minutes. For two drinks. On top of that there was a bug in my drink (see photo). A whole bug. So not only will you wait a long time, but your food is likely contaminated. STAY AWAY!!!!
