    Crispy Chicken Tenders

    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!!!!

    Park your car at a stall and Press the red button for Sonic to take your order.

    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.

    Burnt, overcooked onion rings and old fries.
    Lynda P.

    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.

    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.

    #9 Classic Chicken Sandwich Combo

    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...

    My new fav! Lemon berry float

    Came in for a sonic yelp event and I was pleased with the fast service and delish food! I had a strawberry milkshake which was rich and creamy! Also had the chicken slider which was nicely seasoned and pickles are always the best in a chicken sandwich! Great event and yummy food !

    Chicken slinger sandwich.
    Rebecca S.

    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.

    I got here at 2:45

    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

    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

    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

The first time I visited was over 25yrs ago and it literally looks the same. One tip I have is that if you get the chili dog, that hotdog is big enough for 2 people, unless you have a huge appetite then I would suggest to have at it because the chili is pretty good. I remember bringing my boys when they were little. I love that this place is still here after all these years. This is definitely one of Bakersfield's gems! The menu is simple, but there's nothing simple about the ice cream menu. Make sure to get some of that caramel sauce, it's soooo good and nothing about it has changed over the years. The decoration inside is still cute, even though not much has changed, I don't think they need to change it since it's still a cute ice cream shop. Service depends on how busy it is. On our recent visit when we first arrived the gal was on it, but it started getting super busy quickly and I watched this girl wait on 5 tables at the same time, so she wasn't as quick as she was when we first arrived. Staff is really friendly and If you haven't had Rosemary's then you need to bring the kiddos and the family to check it out. There's parking in the back in case there's no parking up front.

They are notorious for having the newest trendy sweet treats. Their Instagram is very active and frequently posting new reasons to keep coming back.

It was a very rich and semi-sweet hot chocolate with a hint of cinnamon, just like my momma makes it. My sister had the Dubai-style hot chocolate, which had a pistachio topping; she had no complaints. We also decided to try the Dubai style chocolate covered strawberries; the strawberries were a bit tart, but the toppings were all delicious. Just a heads up, they are an outdoor-only seating establishment, so come prepared. They do, however, have good lighting and patio heaters to help. It tends to stay pretty busy, especially on weekend nights, so wait times can be a little long, but they are worth the wait.
