    Very soft, soggy, greasy batter
    Carrie G.

    This place is a hot mess. They have unique drinks and some food items, where else can you get pickle fries?! Unpopular opinion is you are better off using the app. It just annoys me that they can do half price drinks in the app but that isn't a thing when you just drive up and order. Like why?! Same with the grocery stores, making you use an app if you want anything good. I get why this is popular in places where it's hot because the drinks are where it's at. (As long as they make them correctly which they definitely have not in the past.) I got a limeade slush for half price in the app, pickle fries, and $1 pretzel stick (also app deal) both pretzels were very dense and a bit undercooked. cheese was fine. The pickle fries were not crispy at all, but everything was very hot. I would not pay four dollars for a small pickle. The batter was very soggy. It's like they were so hot because they microwaved them. I ordered in the app then you drive into a stall to order. The lobby was closed. It has been closed as far as I know except when it first opened and that was a hot mess as well. Nobody was in the drive thru. This time my order took 15 minutes. There was one kid running out the orders, literally, he was literally running after he gave you your food. Car after car.

    October 14th, 2024.  "Large fry" at Sonics price through. Seriously?? Did they eat some before they handed it to me?

    October 14, 2024 I bought the #2 burger meal with large fry and this is what I saw when I arrived home....

    Second Reese's blast.

    If I could give it 0 stars I would. I ordered a drink for myself, and a Reese's sonic blast for my husband. As soon as we pulled away he asked me to try his blast because it tasted weird. I tried it and it legit tasted like an ashtray. Like someone dumped the Reese's with cigarette ash and mixed it or something. We brought it back and told them it tasted like an ashtray. They re-made it and guess what? Still tastes like ashtray. Did someone dump an ashtray in the ice cream machine or something? This is the worst sonic I have ever been too and I never want to come here again. If that's what the blast tastes like IMAGINE what it looks like back there. Makes me want to barf just thinking about it. Waste of money and time.

    Supposed to open until 11pm, arrived during the week of their grand opening at 7:58 and were turned away due to them being "short staffed." Not sure why they would have opened the business if they didnt have a staff fully trained yet. The only positive thing I can say is they had someone directing traffic so you don't wait in traffic unnecessarily.

    Texas Toaster burger, chili cheese coney
    Angela S.

    Thrilled to see Sonic coming to Anchorage! I've missed their Cherry limeades dearly since moving up from Texas. Given the long lines we've seen down Huffman, I put on my patient pants and decided to brave the drive-thru for lunch on Friday. It was only a 20 minute wait or so in the drive-thru, and service was very friendly and courteous. We ordered a Texas Toaster burger with bacon and cheese, as well as a chili cheese coney dog, coupled with some tots and fries. Everything came out as ordered, they even remembered to 86 the onions! After a quick trip home, we enjoyed a little taste of home right here in Anchorage!

I drove up, handed her my credit card and she closed the window. When it re-opened, she handed me my order with multiple things on the side (napkins, spoon), then she closed the window, turned away and started taking the next order. I assumed (wrongly) that the bundle she handed me included my credit card, as it often does, and I drove off. Unfortunately, this caused me a huge hassle the rest of the afternoon. First I ripped my car apart looking for the card. I could not complete my errands as I had no credit card. I had to drive all the way back to Wendy's. Around 4:30, I walked in and asked a young man about my card, who looked nervous and raced to the back. An overweight, sloppy, pissed-off looking woman came to the counter. I politely asked if my card was there. She turned away from me mid-sentence and lumbered to the side window, while speaking loudly to another employee, "...idiot's back for her card," easily heard by me AND other customers. When she returned with my credit card, I thanked her and started to ask, "This put me through a lot of trouble today. Can you..." She interrupted me and said "No. It was your responsibility to make sure you got your card back." I agreed, but I tried to explain that the clerk should have returned it automatically as soon as the transaction was complete. However, she kept interrupting me and then told me to leave. I walked out. A guy sweeping yelled "have a nice day!" WHOA. After second thought, I returned to ask for the manager. Now she was helping a customer. I stood to the side and waited for her to finish. She tried to ignore me and began to speak to the guy behind me. I moved to the front of the register and said "I just want a manager." She again loudly spoke to her friend in the back, "She's back and she's blocking the register." She lumbered back to whomever she was speaking with. I heard "fake name" and laughter. She returned with a smug smile and said "Sarah. How's that?" I could NOT believe the level of rudeness. This Wendy's has sunk SO LOW. Their food is often cold or bad, and the service is non-existent! (Tudor store is better.) Hey Sarah. How's this?

The "lady in charge" said it would be a few minutes and gave us free drinks. Yea... we waited an hour, for some reason, and they still weren't on. Couldn't online order, they could do nothing. Were happy to feed all the teenage boys "working" though. Ok so wanted to try them again. I thought about ordering on the app but didn't want to put all my card info in so just ordered in store. The app (who didn't know any better) said the wait was 10 minutes. I get in the store and almost everyone sitting down didn't have any food. They were getting the burgers ready but the sides were taking soooo long. The burgers would just sit in the window, waiting for their fry companion. I waited 25 minutes with a litteral screaming squirmy wormy baby. Why come here when McDonald's is like 2 minutes. I wanted a kaladi brothers shake too but didn't want to pay $9 for a soda sized cup. They made their sweet potatoes into waffle fries when they used to be regular shaped fries. I think that's what slowed them down. Honestly the price wasn't bad, 7.99 for a regular smash burger but the wait was too long.

    Crunchy's is a new-ish restaurant in town…read more To visit Crunchy's you will need to come to a cool thrifty crafty store called ReMade on Old Seward past Huffman. In between Huffman and DeArmoun road on the right hand side. There is a communal kitchen attached to the left of the store. Sometimes there's more than one business cooking out of them, but Crunchy's is in this space Thursday-Sunday. He said he's there to stay too. I came on Saturday 10/26 around 1:30-2pm. Almost all the tables were occupied with people waiting. We scanned the menu using a QR code. You can order online too. A lady came to take our order. They are fairly new and they had just been featured in the newspaper so I think they had been super busy and not used to it. They handled it very well though. The menu consists of a couple burgers, a chicken sandwich, and some milkshakes. Not a huge menu. The chef is a young and ambitious guy who loves to cook. He is very nice and personable. He makes the buns by scratch, all ingredients are organic and healthy. I got the cheese burger. When the food came out it wasn't particularly hot, more warm. My mom got the chicken sandwich and she said hers was hot in temperature so maybe it was a timing thing. The burgers came with fries, and they were barely warm as well. But overall the food was good. The bun was more of a roll type with texture and taste. The patty was cooked well, some pink in the middle so it wasn't overcooked. Had pickles which is a plus, as well as mustard and ketchup. I said no onions please. Overall the food was very good. I wish I had had more fries, there was a small amount. And I would have liked the burger to be a bit hotter in temperature. I was impressed with the homemade bun and the price point was $13 for the burger and $11 for the chicken sandwich was pretty good considering he makes everything. The menu is changing and ingredients/ the looks of things change as he navigated running a restaurant. He is active on Facebook so look Crunchy's up or just stop by to see a current menu. Hours are changing but as of last I believe Thursday and Friday they are open 5-8pm Saturday 11-8pm Sunday?

    It's a little out of the way of the bustle but worth the extra mile. All organic non-GMO foods…read more This is a shared kitchen with several local vendors.
