I ordered their chicken strip meal (#11) via car hop; it took a bit for the meal to be provided (there were a few people who were given their orders that drove away behind me); no issues with that as I could have just parked in a spot and ordered. That's what they have them for and the people behind probably ordered slushees or whatever. The chicken strips and tater tots were tasty and their Dr.Pepper tasted very nice. The Texas toast was a bit dry and crunchy, but overall was a pretty good meal. The people working were friendly. read more

Sonic, growing up, was a bit of a splurge and a definite treat! The Sonic of today just seems to keep missing the mark. The food is so-so, but the service always makes up for it! If you're looking for a decent fast food meal, you can't go wrong with giving these guys a try. read more

It wont be often when I actually write a review on any fast food restaurant, since fast food has never been my thing. Just the mere thought of it kind of turns my stomach. I honestly cannot remember the very first time I went to a Sonic. Most likely it was on one of my lay-overs when I was flying. Up until last year, I had lived in Washington state all of my life and when Sonic arrived there, you would have thought it was the second coming. There was one location in Bonney Lake, the other was in Puyallup. Once those opened, you would have to wait in endless lines. It was crazy. I did not try them until they quieted down which was literally months later. The first location that I tried was the Sonic in Bonney Lake. I had a cheeseburger. I ( DO NOT) eat fries, Ever. The burger was good, but I noticed it was kind of cold. LOTS of mustard, Months later, I tried the Sonic in Puyallup, and remembered the excessive mustard on my previous trip so I ordered a cheeseburger easy on the mustard. So, that was taken care of and I thought it was peculiar that the burger was once again pretty cold. Again decent flavor though and the ingredients seemed pretty fresh not weighed down with excessive grease. Just this weekend, I had dropped my step son off at the airport, and did quite a bit of shopping nearby. I had not expected time to pas me by so quickly while shopping and before I knew it I was famished. I went to the Sonic that I saw and ordered my typical cheese burger. ( Yes, not so adventurous ) Anyway, it had been such a long time since I had eaten there that I did not even think to say easy on the mustard. Well, let me tell you, when I bit into the burger it was as if a mustard bomb exploded. I even tasted mustard on my lips the following day. ( No joke ) On top of that the burger was pretty cold. Could barely believe it that all three different Sonics served their burgers kind of cold. I highly doubt I will ever go there again. If you do, please remember to tell them easy on the mustard and that you would prefer the burger served warm. read more

I watched a cook suck on his fingers and then make a shake, dip into the cherry bowl to top off the beverage, with out batting an eye. Yummy.... read more

Nice and roomy and spread out. Plenty of parking. Right now there's a 2 for 1 on shakes. Haven't tried a slushie yet. I'm just here for the burgers and jalopeno poppers. I found out poppers don't reheat well, so don't get them unless you can eat them right away. read more

Horrible customer service and insanely long waits. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

I had never been to Sonic before and didn't realize that it's drive-in only, but that was my fault and not theirs. The food was pretty good. There was a little too much sauce on the burgers (I recommend taking it home to eat or else you might make a big mess in your car, especially with kids). I really liked the tater tots - nice and crisp on the outside and nicely seasoned, not too salty. The sundae was great, too. The drive in thing was cool. There were plenty of parking spots and there were some tables set up for outside dining in the summer. I'll be back! read more

I am a Texan, so Sonic love runs through my veins. Probably my favorite fast food besides In-N-Out and Taco Cabana. For the uninitiated, a few thoughts/suggestions: - Get the vanilla add-in for your Coke or Diet Coke. Delicious, and the ice at Sonic is awesome as well -- soft and crunchy at the same time. A miracle! - Tater tots are awesome, but if you have a hearty appetite you need to get at least a large. Sonic has pretty reasonable portion sizes for fast food -- it's made to enjoy, not gorge. - Whether to tip your sonic carhop or not is a pretty divisive issue. I usually fall in the camp of change or no tip unless it's raining/extremely hot/they do tricks on the skates/other extraordinary circumstances, but you're okay no matter what you decide. - The whole menu is available all day. That includes breakfast. Yahtzee! read more

I think it is funny; after years and years of seeing Sonic commercials, Minnesota finally gets some locations! Now that one is located near my house, my boyfriend and I decided to give it a try. This was my first encounter with the fast food restaurant, and really, it wasn't too bad. I didn't really know what to expect, I've seen the commercials, and yes, sometimes they seemed a bit appetizing, I still was unsure of the whole experience. We drove up and parked in one of the drive in slots. Then we ordered, I had the grilled chicken sandwich with tots! TOTS! Not bad, it has been a really long time since I've had tots so I was really excited. The food took about 5-10 minutes to come out to our car.. It was delivered by some dude rollerblading around. Good god, that must suck to have to work and blade at the same time. Overall, the food was just OK.. I mean, it was good for Fast Food and all, but it was OK. I like the fact that they have big slices of bread instead of buns.. that's a nice touch. I wasn't too keen on the whole drive up and sit in your car type of place, but we ended up just getting our food and bringing it home anyways. The people working seemed to be having fun. They were younger teens who were all seeming to get a long with each other.. That's nice to see! I would probably go back sometime.. I mean, I wouldn't rush out tonight after work just to get there or anything, but I feel like most foods and restaurants, whether they be gourmet or fast food, sometimes, they just need a second try! So, someday soon, I will go back. read more

Waited 22 minutes for a sonic blast, which is unacceptable. The person that helped me was very nice, but obviously Sonic needs to staff better because no one should wait that long for food that's supposed to be fast. I will not be back, there are many other similar food options nearby that won't waste my time. read more

Order through their app three times and every time they would make me wait in one of their stalls for 20+ min after saying my order was ready and the carhop was coming this last time it was over 40+ mins in the stall waiting we decided to go up to the drive tru and had to tell them our order and what was going on they said they never received it until I'll pull up my electronic receipt they didn't even apologize horrible customer service someone on their team needs to communicate better because this is ridiculous read more

Sonic is a lot more popular in Phoenix where I lived most of my life. Minneapolis doesn't really have the same drive-thru culture you find there so fast food is more limited than I'm used to. The fact that there are only 3 Sonic locations near the city and all are in the far reaches of the suburbs is the reason this is my first try at a Sonic since moving to Minnesota 4 years ago. And I found out that Minnesotans don't get it at all. The line for the drive-thru was around the building but there were a ton of open stalls. Sonic regulars will know that the stall is the easiest and fastest way to get your order in and your food out. Why would you waste time and gas sitting stalled in line when you can park in a shaded stall and have everything brought out to you? Since I didn't eat my cheese tots and burger on Texas toast at the location and had to drive 6 miles back home, it wasn't the best flavour that I've had at a Sonic. Also, I got a cherry limeade and ordered "extra cherries" like I always do but they somehow interpreted that as extra cherry flavouring and there were NO cherries. Half the reason I enjoy the cherry limeades so much is the stem-on marichinos that are supposed to come with it. It's hard to give a bad review to a chain that doesn't really have a place here, because you can't expect a lot and the food wasn't a-typical or bad. I just wish Minneapolis would get with it when it comes to drive-thrus. read more

I have been here twice and every time the wait was too long and they messed up my orders each time... probably won't come back. Just go to DQ. read more

Sonic Drive-In - This is my corrected order... - Burgers Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

I used to live in Atlanta where Sonic was a little more prevalent, so I was re-visiting when I went the other day. Sonic Burgers taste like the cheap burgers they get in huge boxes to unload at company picnics, and the rest of the food pretty much follows the same path. There is one item on the menu that continues to deliver and that is the sausage and egg breakfast wrap. You might be tempted to get the upscale breakfast burrito (it has jalepenos and other items in it), but don't do it, it's a trick. The simplicity of sausage, egg, and tortilla with the salsa they provide hit the spot anytime you are in the mood for a quick breakfast. Other than that, the only reason to go to a Sonic is for the drinks. With ehat seems like millions of choices, they have a beverage for everyone and the flavors are all good. Cherry Limeaid is arguably their signature drink, but the slushes and shakes are very good as well (If they still had the peanut butter hot fudge shake they used to serve in Atlanta, I'd give them another star). read more

I was charged twice for the same order in the drive through in Columbia Heights, MN. I told the employee that it would happen and they (him and his manager) assured me it would not. They already ran my card once and I didn't have my food so I had no choice but to give it to them to run again. Of course I was charged twice on my account. That happened on 11/7/21 and I'm still getting the run around to get my money back. I have called corporate headquarters and the store itself. Still waiting. The food is great but I will NEVER go to a Sonic again. This is ridiculous to go through for $16.00 but it's now the principle of it! Use cash. Great scam though because most people probably would just give up. read more

Normally you have great service.... Today not so much! Waited for 40 minutes only to end up with someone else's food. No apology or discount. Not sure what is going on, but I won't be going back any time soon. read more

Just an average burger joint, with a lot of weird extras. I think their draw is coming out with a new bazaar sandwich or a drink or ice cream treat. But the execution is poor. I think this is more a management and employee issue, as far as the management training the employees are caring. The service is good, but not great. Doesn't seem to be any motivation to be better read more

Ordered a corn dog and got something that wasn't even edible. How does a corn dog even get like this?! I waited in line for so long and was really excited to eat it until I got home and opened the bag and noticed that there were black holes all over the breading and it was rock hard. So disappointed and grossed out! 0/10 would not recommend. read more

The service at this Sonic was awful. The woman talking was impossible to understand and would get rude when we asked her to repeat herself because we didn't understand. Our food took forever to come out and the ice cream took 20 minutes. I ordered a Blast and the only cookie dough pieces were at the top. I love Sonic and have always had great experiences, but I will not visit this one again. read more

Wow. $.59 for a small cup of water. Tremendous attitude from the server. The tiniest soggy chicken sandwich I have ever seen. Not going back. read more

While I'm a huge fan of the strawberry limeade, I have to say that I enjoy the drive in experience. It's sort of fun to sit in your car and have a burger. Also the food is fairly tasty. It's not someplace you should go on an everyday basis, but when you feel like splurging. The service is friendly and efficient. Sadly, they weren't on roller skates, but that's OK. They do have a drive through if you'd rather take your food to go. read more

I love coming here for their 1/2 shakes; it brings to the total for two shakes to under 5$ which is a really good deal. The ice cream alone is pretty tasty, but when you start adding flavoring, that's where it gets out of hand. I always feel that they add way too much flavoring and it settles at the bottom of your cup. As you near the end of your ice cream treat it's an awful taste of ass (excuse my French) flavored syrup and ice cream. I think they should calm down when it comes to pumping in flavoring and learn that less is more. read more

This sonic is utterly terrible. we came and the food was terrible, I got the number 14 breakfast burrito and it tasted like trash. if you want to eat garbage, this is the spot. we also ordered a burger and didnt get it. We called them back and we reordered it, but they didn't come. I had to go to the door to get the burger. This is worst fast food service, I'd rather eat at McDonald'. read more

I went with my five kids and was confused why my bill was a few dollars higher than expected. When I received my bill, I saw they charged almost $2 for tap water!!! This is insane. I could understand charging if that was the only thing a person was buying. However, if you are spending $20 on a meal, they least they can do is give you free water! I will never be back to this location! The manager that came up with this policy should be fired, it's absolutely terrible customer service! read more

We love Sonic. We discovered Sonic during our frequent vacations in Texas and were excited to see it spread into the Twin Cities. We were one of those families waiting in line for a chance to visit the first Twin Cities Sonic in St. Paul, and now that we have one closer to our home we end up stopping in at least once a month. We love the ice cream treats as well as the unique items like Frito pies. We especially love their mid-day "Happy Hour" for treats during unexpected down-time. read more

They are awful!!!! I cannot believe that they charged me for water. Even after they were not able to give me my popcorn shrimp. I will never return to this sonic because they have charged me for water which is an American right! Once again, their pull up stations were unopened to us even though they opened to others! This is beyond despicable. As a minority and a woman this feels like discrimination. read more

First experience with Sonic -- I'm a fan! The drive-in experience is different for the area, cute, fun, but could see it being a problem during cold months. Additional outdoor seating would be a smart choice. The cheeseburger was dee-lish, melted in my watering mouth. And the chocolate malt was to-die-for! Not as creamy as DQ, but still very good. read more

More often than not my order is made incorrectly. No follow up despite 10+ calls to corporate number requesting contact. My husband is allergic to aspartame was given a drink with Sprite zero and was made very sick. I was given a defective cup at the drive through which broke and spilled all over me. Will never return to this location, which is a shame- we used to like them very much. read more

Don't bother. They charge for water and think coconut cream means banana cream. Nothing vegetarian except greasy fried sides. Very disappointed. Last sonic I went to was in Savannah ga. It was awesome! read more

It may have taken a little longer to get the order, however the food was really good. My wife said it was a delicious hamburger, and you can't beat the cherry-limeade. Service was good, just had a faulty screen. read more

I love Sonic food, but this is the slowest restaurant. I am not sure if they are understaffed or just slow. I have waited for 30 minutes at the stall and pushed the button 3 times and no one answered. I gave up and went to the drive thru and this is taking forever too. I am sitting In line at the drive thru as I write this review read more

Fast and friendly service. Amazing drinks. Try the frozen lemonade and breakfast burritos!

what a horrible experience. my boyfriend and i come to this sonic quite often but don't have problems but this is unexcusable. when we ordered at the stall, she could not hear us and tried to end our order before we were even done. then once we finally got our order communicated to her, she came out to give us our food, and she dumped all of our food upside down, no sauces that we asked for, no napkins, and she gave us the food with an attitude and didn't say anything to us. we open our bag to see this petty ass order. fire this unprofessional woman-child. read more

Service is EXTREMELY slow here. It took over 5 minutes for them to respond and take our order after pushing the red button as directed on the screen. My boyfriend ordered two items 15 minutes ago and we still haven't gotten them yet AND it's not busy. I ordered 2 minutes after him and they never pulled up my transaction nor made my food. We had a view of the Wendy's drive thru, and have seen soo many cars come and car with their FAST service. We just wanted to come and grab a quick snack before my boyfriend heads to work.. ANYWAYS, thanks for making my boyfriend late for work. read more

the staff is so effing rude. two of my friends and i went to sonic in a very cheery mood. we were so excited to order our cheese curds and slushies cuz damn we had the munchies. we kindly asked the worker to take 3 separate orders, seeing as we are just broke high school girls. he very rudely said no, when we asked why he said "do you want to come in and make the food yourself." we are currently in line and plotting. the cheese curds better buss. there might be spit in our drinks. update we have been in line 20 mins and not moved once. let alone the reason we came to this stupid butt ugly restaurant is because we wanted to do the drive in service. we pulled in pressed the order button and he said "hi sonic we only take orders in the drive thru" wtf is the point of sonic then? the food isn't good enough for it to be a thing on its own. read more

Terrible, absolutely the worse most idiotic experience ive had in a drive thru, drink got missed after i had to repeat myself twice, then when getting to the window had to ask for said drink again then had to correct it since it was wrong, after already telling them both what i wanted, not to mention my sandwich was swimming in sauce, im not exaggerating either i had to take several napkins and wipe it off just soo my sandwhich wouldnt slide apart, please get this sonic in order! read more

I think the best fast food meal I've ever had is their foot long dog, tater tots and a hot fudge sunday. The foot long hot dog had good cheese and chili, and the beef itself tasted better than what I could make. I'd take it any day over a burger. The tater tots really are the best side from any fast food place I've had. The sundae has the best ice cream of any fast food place I've ever had by far. It's better than Dairy Queen and Culvers, but maybe not as good as Cold Stone. I had a burger once a while ago, and I thought it was decent.

I stop here from time to time to get food, but I don't think I'll be stopping by again. It was snowing and I wanted to get some food after grocery shopping so I stopped at this Sonic. Only the drive thru was open, but that's not a problem. I get in line and it's taking forever, but finally I get to the order thing. The voice on the other end speaks up and asks me if I can wait a second to place my order. Not a problem. What is a problem is that I was still waiting by the order kiosk ten minutes later, snow falling through my window, and when I finally gave up and drove off there wasn't even anyone at the window. Everyone in front of me had been served, and the person either forgot or didn't care enough to take my order. It's one thing to get busy and need a little extra time, but it's another thing to forget a customer exists. read more

If i could give zero stars i would. Waited literally an hour for my food. Thats not an exaggeration we WAITED an hour for someone to finally get our food. We waited 40 minutes to order and 20 minutes for our food. This place sucks. Suck it sonic. read more
