I wanted to take a moment to compliment Ricky for his outstanding service. I was parked a little too close to the menu board, and he kindly squeezed through the small space to hand me my food and drink--without spilling a drop. He greeted me warmly as he walked up, and his friendly, bubbly personality instantly made me feel welcome. I was exhausted after working two jobs and very hungry, but Ricky's positive attitude and quick service truly made my night. In less than a minute, he delivered my order with a smile and made sure everything was perfect. Thank you, Ricky, for turning a long day into a better one. I'm glad I chose Sonic for something to eat, and because of this great experience, I'll continue to stop at this location from now on. I live in Lamont, but service like this is worth the trip. Keep up the great work! read more

It's pretty good shake wise but food is gross I ate some poppers here and they were cold peppers made me feel gross and cheese wasn't all that read more

So nasty!!! My son ate half of these strips when I noticed it was raw!!!! All they offered was a refund for the food and acted like it was normal?? I'm worried for my son who's under 5 since he ate almost half of the both strips. Employees should be trained to check the food before giving it out!!!! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Crispy Chicken Tenders - Burgers Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Sonic is good but they don't care about your food that much. Expensive, Mozzarella sticks often has a block of cheese not melted, & talking service wise they are nice and sweet but I once had a decently bigger sized cut in my cup leaving my melted shake I had received to drip out the side. They said they'd get me a new milkshake all together (I was expecting another cup to put underneath or something such as that so i wouldn't lose my ice cream) and I was glad. Turns out they just made me a new one and the same cup, or the next cup they used also was broken in the exact same way and spot. I don't know if they realized or not but i was just a bit upset to be missing some of my shake. At first they didn't give me a cherry too, I love their cherries so that was upsetting but I didn't complain about that. If you got money sonic is worth it for a good pick up n go, but other than that I wouldn't go too often. read more

I had an enjoyable first time experience here at Sonic via ordering at their parked car stalls. 4/5 Strawberry hand-mixed classic shake: this came with whipped cream, a cherry on top, and had chunks of real strawberries! Most other places I know don't hand mix their shakes let alone have actual strawberries. 4/5 Chicken slinger: very hot temperature (might want to let it sit in the bag for a bit), crispy chicken patty sandwiched between a light layer of Mayo, an even layer of pickles, and brioche bun. The ratio of the entire sandwich is good, was enjoyable, and neatly wrapped. 5/5 service: Service was really quick even though almost all stalls were full. Park your car at a stall and press the red button for Sonic to take your order. read more

5/5/23, @ 7:45 Burgers were good, but onion rings were overcooked, some just burnt and staff still thought it appropriate to bag them and the fries were old, lukewarm and soggy, which staff also found appropriate to send out. Also, of the four poppers two were burst open with half the breading off. Doesn't the person in the fry area have only one job? This Sonic is so inconsistent and when it's good it's really good, but not sure if it makes up for when it's bad. I definitely recommend eating your food there, so if it's like it was tonight, you can send it back. Definitely not worth the drive to return it by the time you get home. read more

This is our family's go-to spot for refreshments. Our favorites here are the slushes, especially during their daily happy hour when they're 1/2 price! We've been coming to this location for over 20 years, and no matter how many different managers and employees there have been, the service is always very friendly. Sonic has the the overall reputation to take a while to get your order, but this location is the fastest. Today I even forgot my wallet and the car hop helped me set up payment through the app. I ordered 3 slushes, and along with learning how to use the app, I was out of there in less than 10 min. Make sure to stop by this east side favorite. read more

For a fast food joint this place offers excellent, freshly made upon order, non sloppy food! We've been here twice so far in the last month and both times we were not let down... The onion rings have a sweet taste to them and remind me of something you'd get at a County fair... But onion rings are supposed to be salty!! They still good. The milkshake my husband got never melted lol.. Nor the whip cream. May tell you how processed they are... But it was Good non the less. It is fast food after all... But comparing This sonic location to others and even other fast food places in general, they are surprisingly consistent and have good quality... read more

It's called sonic, but yet take an hour for just a chicken slinger and a grape slush. I put my order for extra mayo and got ZERO mayo. The girl gave my order to someone else but then noticed and ask for it back and gave it to me. That must be a health violation. Lucky I saw the people didn't put their hands on it so I just accepted the food since I was already waiting forever (didn't want to wait again) and now I open the bag and see this... read more

So nice over the phone and even nicer in person! They must pay those people well. The food is just ok.

If you can find a stall where the screen actually works at this Sonic, consider yourself lucky!! I'm pretty sure more of the screens here don't work than do!! I order on the mobile app (when it is working) but half the time spend 5 to 10 minutes driving around once I get here trying to find a stall where the screen is working so I can check in to pick up my order! This Sonic's owner needs to take a little pride of ownership and get someone out to fix all of these non-working screens!! read more

Lunch at Sonic. They have great milkshakes with real fruit. I enjoyed a banana milkshake with my chicken slinger sandwich and mu husband had the strawberry one along with his favorite, the extra long chilli cheese coney. I love their cherry limeades and vanilla dr pepper's. Happy Hour is always 2-4 with half price drinks. read more

I've been waiting for 45 minutes for a slush, 1 small milk shake , and a 4 piece mozzarella sticks. I pushed the button and asked about my order. The girl was rude & said we're getting the orders out as best we can. I've literally counted 8 cars that came after me with larger orders leave. NEVER AGAIN. I'll just go to frosty king read more

Pretty packed when I showed up. I was taken care of fairly fast. No complaints here other than the slushes could have been less watery. Still good read more

Worst customer service I've ever had. Ordered a mini m&m sonic blast to never have the girl come hack to tell me total or anything then waited 20 minutes ( was being patient because I could tell they were busy) but to never get one small item? Watched the car next to me get 4 of theirs! I left !! They are rude and no customer service skills at all !!! read more

A very special Wednesday where mediums slushees's are .79 cents! Great deal right? WRONG! How come the location can't realize the overload of people that they are going to get on such an occasion? ADD staff members during that time! Because NO-ONE should wait 40 minutes for 3 beverages! My order wasn't even all slushees! 1 soda, 1 slush, 1 milkshake. By the time I finally get the drinks, my "slush" was ALL water downed syrup! All slush portion MELTED! Disappointed in this location YET again. read more

first off let me tell you how slow the service was here. i am a uber eats and door dash driver and today at 10:30pm we had a request for this crappy place we arrived at the restaurant at 10:32pm well sonic took 38 minutes to complete my customers order. not only did they take long but one of the employees had all his friends come and eat okay no problem right? nope wrong they were about the reason this sonic went so slow on this day, distracting the guy from his job and being scandalous . another thing,the guy and the rest of the employees decided to prioritize their friends first rather then the people who were already there as i saw how they order food and drinks 10 minutes later after my arrival keep in mine my customer ordered a soda and a ice cream read more

Another evil fast food review... I will be the first to admit that Sonic is a wee bi gooder than other fast food joints... And i only say that because I might be addicted to the slushies and whatnot... this joint is as decent as all of the other Sonics. When the brutal summer heat sets in, be sure to find a spot that might offer some shade as it will be well worth it. Having said that, it is still a fast food joint with a drive thru. In fact most folk don't even get out of their car even if they don't use the drive thru. Meh. read more

I actually go to sonic 3 to 4 times a week I go to the Olive drive location. Was on the east side of town so tried the one here on Mall View. Wow what a difference. Bree had so much attitude I couldn't believe it. I listened as she took others orders and was shocked. I tried to be nice said hello asked her how her day was. Did no good she was even more rude to me than she was to the other patrons. If you can avoid this location at Mall View even if it's a little longer drive it will be worth it. I managed retail for many years and if someone is having that bad a day send them home don't subject your customer to it. Frankly it's not their problem and they deserve to be treated kindly and with respect. I hope Bree can have her attitude issues resolved. I'm sure if she is a little nicer to people they will be kind in return and everyone will have a better day. On a positive note the food was equally good as the Olive drive location. read more

Love coming to this sonic! So much shade here compared to other ones in Bakersfield. This one just seems so much nicer than any of the others as well. Maybe different owners? This one is well kept and maintained! The employees are really nice and I always tip them a few bucks. This one is car hop only. There is no drive thru here. You must park and order and a car hop will come collect money and bring your food. It's fairly quick but not as quick as a drive thru. They have everything to satisfy your craving for fast American food and their Sonic blasts are to die for. Sonic, 5 stars! read more

Guess who just waited 20 minutes in 100 degree weather just to order one drink. Seriously.....Then as soon as my husband and I start talking about leaving. They finally greeted us. Ridiculous! read more

Usually this place is okay and leave satisfied ... BUT today I don't know who was in the kitchen and I don't know what they were on but does this look like a chicken tender dinner to you? Also, Customer service isn't too bad that's honestly the only reason why I am giving 2 stars!! read more

Came here for a chocolate chip cookie dough shake and asked for the ice cream to be chocolate also and was told that they can't do that because they only have vanilla. I am well aware that they carry chocolate syrup and can make chocolate ice cream lol but not to mention that they are even advertising chocolate blasts right now which was specifically what I asked for zero stars read more

Sonic Drive-In - Yumm - Burgers Near Me - Bakersfield, California

In 2021 Sonic can't do a split payment. Unbelievable!! I had to return part of my order because of it..

Ive been to two locations of sonic the one on the east hills across from Kaiser Permanente. I feel they need to train their employees to learn how to speak when you're taking the order every time you push a button to order you you're speaking clearly there's a girl back there. She talks that she has gum in her mouth and she was. I'm sorry I can't hear you. I'm sorry I can't hear you. I'm sorry I can't hear you. She has repeats all like three or four times. It's really annoying and this is happened multiple times, it needs to be more clean through the inside. I think the health department really needs to come to the East Hills and check out the clean list for this this one on the east hills, and the one on White Lane next to La Cabana because the service for both places are very bad. Their employees need to be well mannered and train better. They have no self-respect for you as a client sonic managers need to teach their employees how to place orders and how to speak. This is not good service for the ones at the east hills in the one on white lane next to La cabana They need help with customer service more attention. The workers are very rude when they come out they ask you if you want your change back which is not cool because I don't know what the regulations are with Tips but you're leaving a tip leave a tip they shouldn't have to ask if you want your change back this is the one at the east hills and one I've been to ! read more

Sonic is a go to place for my family when we want an ice cream cone or a slush. Went there tonight and I can say I am not happy with my Reese's overload Sonic Blast. It wasn't overloaded, there was nothing in it at all. I payed almost $7 for just plain vanilla. read more

Definitely one of my top favorite restaurants! The food is fairly cheap, Nice and quiet area, readable digital menus, service is REALLY quick and kind, and overall the food is EXCELLENT , and my personal favorite side dish, are the onion rings! (they are homemade!) read more

The wait time wasn't too bad and the food came fairly quick. However they did mess up my order I wanted to try the Redbull slushee and to my superpower they gave me a regular strawberry slushee. The gal who took my order was okay but her customer service could have been worked on a little bit more :) 3 stars read more

This was a quick dinner while road tripping. It was fast food, it wasn't great, but it wasn't the worse I've had. The burger was massive, and same with the tots and drink. I got a cherry slushie, it was good, just very sweet. The burger was good, tots tasted like dirty fry oil- not too appetizing. The Cinnabon sticks were delicious though. Probably won't be back, but I didn't have crazy high hopes for it either. read more

Waited 25 minutes for 2 ice teas and a slush.... on a scorching day 25 minutes seems like an eternity and just as annoying is how much gas I wasted running the air conditioner in the car for 25 minutes. At least the tea tasted fresh. read more

What's there to say about Sonic's? It's the same thing usually. And most times it is pretty good. I mean, I usually like eating at Sonics. This time however, was just.. okay. I went with a group of five people. Three of the orders came out wrong. Mine was one of them! I ordered a sausage toaster.. but instead received bacon. And, the pineapple shake was way too sweet! My sister's slush.. was apparently much more sweeter than my shake. We told the employees about the our order, and they were nice about it and apologized. .. and gave replaced my bacon with sausage.. probably using the same sandwich... The table we sat at.. reminded me of one of those.. shady bathroom stalls. There were lots of.. carved in writing in it.. . "For a good time call" and "Good ... call". It was funny. read more

Only good for the drinks, nothing more, nothing less. In a city where late-night eating is limited I had no choice but sit down at this Sonic location for a meal and the sloppy work flow of the workers ruined the experience. The ordering process at Sonic's always gets harder and harder.Everything had to be repeated at least four or five times. Once we ordered and it was repeated back to us we were informed that no soda or carbonated drinks were available because the "machine broke" we could order water, slush or shakes but no cokes, lime-aids, Etc... The food took forever to arrive, literally 30 minutes because they kept giving us the wrong orders, not once but twice. Yeah, how convenient of course. The moral of this story folks, Avoid this location for a sit-down meal with friends and family because 60% of the time you won't get everything right the first time. The only reason I give it two stars because the slushes, shakes and lime-aids are still in my heart but if it wasn't for that I wouldn't return. I rate this place 2.0 for service. read more

I like Sonics because I don't have it everyday. If it were convenient for me to frequent a Sonics more often I probably wouldn't be a fan. Food I didn't really care for their slushies, they were really sweet and left me with a headache. I do like their cony dog but it isn't gods gift to earth. Tater Tots: I always get tater tots whether that be with cheese or chili and they're basic but good. Tip I love that they have happy hour; 2:00pm-5:00pm. read more

Where to start. We received horrible customer service. We asked for ketchup and were told it was in the bag. When we discovered it wasn't we clicked the button and they said they'd be right out. Employees passed us and ignored us. Finally we were acknowledged and told they'd be right out with the ketchup and drink carrier we needed. Employee came back out ignoring us again. We asked multiple employees. We were in the lot with 30 minutes left before closing when they turned off the lights and left. Just left. Arrived home to find order was wrong to top it off. Awesome. read more

I have to say, I'm absolutely impressed with the customer service at this location by Breeze. She helped us out tremendously with some confusion with their app... Seriously, she was too notch in how she handled our situation, especially considering it was 10 minutes before they closed. Thank you Breeze!!! read more

I use to go to this Sonic almost every week. The past 2 visits have been awful. Today I ordered very clearly and politely. CARLOS repeated my order to me twice. When the order arrived it was still WRONG. I ordered 4 drinks and received 3. One of which was completely wrong. We sent the drink back and the bell hop was rude about the staff missing a drink repeatedly telling us we needed to pay for the drink as they didn't charge us for it. I never once mentioned not paying for the drink. They brought it out to us and it was still WRONG! THIS LITTLE GIRL had the nerve to be rude. As if it is our fault you are INCOMPETENT. I would rather drive all the way out to Niles then to return here. What is the point of repeating an order if you're still not going to complete it correctly??? The staff needs training in customer service at the least. You all are pathetic. read more
