Roadtrip Drive By Went through drivethru on a Sunday morning just to grab a snack for the road. Got the crinkle fries and an order of mozzarella sticks. The fries were super salty and almost seemed like re-fryer rejects. Not the fries I remember Sonic serving. The staff was nice, so that was a plus. read more

We came here on Monday and enjoyed it. The burger was fresh, fries were warm and the shake was delicious. They brought the food out quick too. We would come back! read more

The service was great. Awesome in fact. When I want to take my wife to a fancy restaurant, and after hours of doing her hair and makeup and putting on the matching accessories, I surprised her with a short trip to Sonic. The atmosphere and ambience of being able to eat right there, in my car, makes the journey worthwhile. But the tray was defective and it nearly fell off the car, almost ruining our big night out. What really was disappointing was the quality of the food. The tater tots were very greasy - and- way over salted. It had the potential of hardening my arteries and raising my blood pressure at the same time. The burger was smothered in ketchup and the burger patty slipped from the bun directly onto my wife's cream-colored designer dress. In fact the meat even slipped through the seat and into the back part of my pickup truck where my dog likes to sit when we go hunting. Worse still, when she went to take a drink of her lemonade, the lid wasn't on correctly, causing her to spill lemonade on top of her already stained dress. Likewise, my lemonade cup lid popped off and I spilled lemonade on my white Levi's jeans. I don't need to tell y'all what that looked like when we went out dancing. It was even worse for her. But, the good news is that all of it was cleaned - including a legacy syrup stain on my pants that happened when I sat on a pancake at the IHop. The young lady who served us was so good and polite that we will be back. These things happen to the best of us! read more

I've been to this location too many times. That's on me. The service and quality of product is just poor. Poor enough for me to add this review. The last time I stopped by, it was after 9pm on a Friday night. There were very few cars in the lot and the drive through was totally open so I just knew I'd be in and out quick. It took probably a minute+ for anyone to greet me and when they did, they just said "we'll be right with you.". I realize sh!t happens but after I ordered (just 2 milkshakes) it took so long to get the order that my wife even texted me asking if I was ok. I live 5 minutes away. As for the quality ... I like the caramel milkshake. it was probably 1/3 whipped cream and even a little warm. I don't remember this place. read more

Ordered on the app. Arrived and checked in and waited 10 mins. Nothing so I pressed the button and asked for my order. They came out and told me they were out of sprite and coke. You are literally a fast food place that promotes all its sodas. How are you out of this??? Also, was anyone going to come out and let me know? Poor management. If I had not pressed the button, I'd probably be still sitting and waiting for my orfer read more

The past few times I've come this is location to order a blast shake, the whip and cherry I order is never added. The fill ins are just sitting on the top and the rest is just ice cream. There is no fill ins in the actual shake. It's just disappointing never getting fully what I order and pay for time and time again read more

Drove through 15 minutes before they closed. Seemed like big deal order something to eat. Said they are closing soon it would be while because they need to turn friers on. Anyway drove to sonic no problem later McDonalds read more

I am not a real fan of fast food, but in this case The Lady had been watching commercials on TV since march, it was at a time when we had to get something and eat in the car. So I pulled up, we reviewed the menu (I do not use the app) and proceeded to order. For the first time ever, the food came out correctly, fast, and actually hot! I had never had my food from a Sonic meet those criteria. The server, wearing a mask but no gloves, darted in to get us some extra ketchup. Of course then The Lady really wanted more mayo and asked for that. Never arrived. The button you push was not cleaned, but we had some wipes and hard-core hand sanitizer and used that ourselves. So, it was the best Sonic I have ever been to, the food is OK, but the non wearing of gloves and having to sanitize the order button was a let down. read more

Sonic Shakes are mad good. Sonic is probably just another chain out here, as evidenced by all of the poor reviews I see, but as a New Yorker, with no Sonics in the city yet, I always love lazily pulling up to the drive in stations and getting a quick bite. This time we had just eaten two lunches and were on our way to a third, so we just got a shake, and boy was it good: it was an Oreo Peanut Butter Shake, and it was as incredible as it sounds. It's much thicker than a shake, and is practically like you are eating ice cream, like one of the Blasts. Sonic is always an awesome choice for dessert so I'm always down to drive in quickly for a very satisfying sweet snack. read more

Ordered ahead via the app. Easy check-in, waited less than 3 minutes to get our order, which was steaming hot and fresh. Server apologized for the wait, which again was very short, and gave us a free drink token. Overall great place and service. read more

Wow, this place was hopping this afternoon! Lots of folks in the drive-thru and the parking lanes. We chose to park and eat, and the service was fast and efficient! Food was hot and delicious, drinks were cool and refreshing; they even provided a free large ice water at our request. The server had his roller skates on his feet and a smile on his face; he was friendly and courteous. He also wiped down the touchpad/button of the order sign with disinfectant so the next folks would be protected. No bathrooms available during COVID-19 procedures, unfortunately, and the only downside of the visit. Otherwise, same old awesome Sonic Drive-In service we've come to expect from the chain! :) read more

My soda was flat but the food was good and the service was okay the soda was just flat which pissed me off

Extremely inconsistent, they'll have your order hot and right a few times. Then all of a sudden they'll have you waiting 30 mins for your order or will mess up the items given to you. Seems to turn over employees very fast, even for a fast food stop. read more

Got a lemon berry slush and mozzarella sticks. Cheese pull was as long as my arm could go. Fresh and hot! Slush was delicious. Cooks are doing it right read more

I never wrote a review but thought I'd let this location and other customers know that this is the best sonic I've ever been to! Their quickness, consistency, and customer service is overall amazing and I think they need to be reminded of how great they work as a team. Keep it up :) read more

I absolutely disgusted this outing! First off they provided me with gross old fries, as they have just been sitting there forever! They smelt absolutely horrible. They were all brown and gross. I ate one and it was awful! Then they gave me some chicken. It tasted fine until I looked in it and it looked grey, there was also super gross grey juice in it. Threw it away immediately! Then they gave me my rootbeer with barley any ice! HATED IT. Never coming back. read more

Service is always quick and they are always friendly. It's a Sonic food so we aren't expecting what we would like in a $12 burger. 1/2 price drinks 2-4 pm hits the spot without hurting the wallet. Occasionally you will see and hear the redneck kids in their dad's pick up truck trying to act cool. They're harmless though. It's Buda, still got a few hicks living here. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Buda, Texas

This place couldn't get a worse review from me. My daughter got a shake recently and it had a long metal carpenters NAIL in it! It was shocking be dangerous! I called to speak with the manager on duty (Angel) and he had another manager get in touch with me, then I was sent to another manager named Aaron, then to another named Daniel who finally apologized (in writing) and assured me that the security footage would be reviewed and that he would be in touch within 24 hours. I had a generic message soon after that from a district or regional manager named Melinda Zamora. I called her back and she didn't even remember about the mail in my daughters shake! She was rude, uncaring and accused me of being wrong about who I spoke with and what they said. She would not apologize or provide any explanation about what happened. All she said is that their insurance company would be in touch with us within 72 hours and that the video footage would remain with her! I think a judge may decide differently! He was arrogant and dismissive! Sonic is not served well by her at all. She should have just apologized. Now I will be in pursuit of the truth (the video footage) and will not stop until someone is held accountable for this! Don't eat or drink anything from sonic! They do NOT care about their patrons!!!! read more

DO NOT EAT AT THIS LOCATION IN BUDA. Staff has the worst customer service. Management needs to look into how staff treats customers. Will never go here again. read more

Drinks ordered were fine but i gave cash for my drinks and they decided that they were going to round my change and keep the rest for themselves. Very rude read more

Food is good, when me and my friend went there to get drinks, Elizabeth called me slurs and also called me ugly cause I don't have hair. So I wouldn't say great workers? Like never have I gone somewhere minding my own business and had a worker beef with me for no reason. read more

Horrible service. Waited for over fifteen minutes for my mobile order and it's not like I could leave since I already paid. Pushed the red button to let them know to cancel my order and then I finally got my food . Wrong .l left with part of my order still missing . I will never go back read more

It's Sonic, I wasn't expecting 5 stars. Also, granted, I've had food from here on multiple occasions in the past, as fast food is limited in this side of town... Anyway, Food tends to be served hot, reasonable wait times, etc. But I'm writing this now because last week I visited - and ordered a combo meal. I specifically said "No pickles" on that burger (and it was the only thing ordered aside the drink)... and the female order taker said "it doesn't come with pickles, just lettuce, tomato, mustard and mayo" I said "OK" I get home...and there's fuching Pickles in the burger! WTF?! That was a simple order, and a simple request.... for your staff to not know their menu is beyond me. Thanks but no thanks. read more

Sonic had great Diet Coke the French toast Ickes were delicious as well. It really was a good experience

Seriously how many times can one place screw up orders. I can't wait for more options on this side of town. If this location doesn't improve it will close once there are more options. I would be embarrassed if I owned or manged this restaurant. read more

I used to lovvveeee sonic!! When I moved to California the closest sonic to me was an hour drive away so imagine my joy when I moved back home. But sadly, my body hates sonic. I don't know what happened but everytime I eat a burger from there my stomach refuses to digest it. Every time I'm pregnant and eat one of their burgers I end up puking it up a little later. When I'm not pregnant it will just sit in my stomach.... for at least 7 hours. Seriously. Anyhoo, this location is fine, just as every other one I've been too. I still love their drinks and ... Well that's about it. Can't stand much of anything else any more, way too greasy! read more

We are so not a fast food family. It is only because of an affiliation with childhood and their all-too-accessible location that on a few occasions I've ignored better judgement and placed an order here. Each time, the service has been ridiculously slow, especially with the drive-through, where they don't even have to walk out and I was the customer waiting at the window! Even if it doesn't look busy, they'll find a way to make it take at least ten minutes. Recently, my husband kindly went to pick me up a shake from here, and they sent out plain vanilla, which was not what I'd ordered. He didn't realize this until he got home & handed it over, so he called & they said they'd take care of it next time. I didn't want to go back again. I strive to avoid consuming anything from here; just wanted what I ordered! So husband drives back and they don't even offer to comp the shake, and he didn't ask because we were trying to be gracious about it. Although he handled the whole interaction as politely as possible, when he came home and handed it to me, I pulled out the "cherry" on top and it was half-eaten. Not even kidding. So after not even complaining about the inconvenience or their incompetence, we were punished. My car has pulled into their fume-filled little stalls for the very last time. read more

Wanted a dank burger. Came with no mayo and tasted as dry as a desert. Matt - why my mayo at??? :(

So much for half price burger night. None of the cheeseburgers we ordered were given to us at half price. On top of that, not a single burger was made as ordered. I guess that's what you get when high school kids run the joint. Gave them a second star because the food still tasted good and was hot. Will NEVER use the drive through again. read more

This review was earned by the young lady working the Drive thru today at about 27 June at 1800. I stopped by for a blizzard on my way home. When the young lady took my order, she was very abrupt and rushed. I chalked it up to a bad day. However, when I pulled up to pay, I discovered the problem. She was too busy texting and looking at her iPhone. She abruptly took my money, gave me change and returned to the texting etc...recommend management review their policies. Not everyone can work with the public, however, you won't know unless you put down the phone. read more

Always fast and friendly service. I've never had a bad experience but they could use more nerds in their slushes

Service was horrible food was cold and bad and the wait time WAS ABSURD 45 minutes for a burger and fries and drink only 2 cars (including us) and 3 cars at the little kiosk STEP UP YOUR GAME SONIC‍ read more

Waited 15 minutes to be waited on in a "stall"; backed out and waited another 15 minutes in the "drive thru" line. All I wanted was an iced tea. It appeared the teenage employees were too busy socializing with potential boyfriends/girlfriends. I watched several people leave, as I should have done, but out of curiosity I waited to see how long it would take. "It's not just good, it's Sonic good" is NOT what I felt about my visit. read more

Ok...First, let me say that this Sonic is less than a mile from my home. The options are limited unless you want to drive in to Buda or Kyle...(Subway and Schlotzskys)...so I keep trying Sonic even after terrible experiences at this ONE particular location. Reading the other reviews, I see that Im not the only one...Are the franchise owner or management even aware???or care??? The problem boils down to horrible customer service, especially when you go through the drive-thru. The first time, I drove away after waiting for 10 min after I was told to "HOLD ON". I chalked that up to a freak occurrence and went back. Same thing happened although finally they did come back and without an apology for the wait I might add, was asked "what do you want?" I told them never mind-off I drive....my kids already know I wont tolerate it...and each of the first two times I drove out of the way to the Sonic in Buda off IH35. That Sonic is always great. The last time, we went after my son's soccer game...it was not busy, tons of employees(all teens with what seemed like no supervision) were busy chatting and clowning around inside (I pulled into park this time) and pressed the button to order. Long wait, then finally a less than polite announcement of "Ill be with you in a second". I should have just left at that point BUT...ITS SO CLOSE TO MY HOME-I WANT TO LIKE YOU, SONIC...I DO...so we waited..........Finally, my order was taken..We all ordered, and after we were done, my son decided he wanted a Dr. Pepper float instead of a root beer float....no biggie...it hadnt even been a minute since I ordered, Im sure they hadnt started the floats yet since there was food that needed to be prepared first....So I pushed the button and get a "yeah?" (easy, now, remember, its less than a mile to my house) "Could I please change the rb float to a Dr Pepper float?" I get a sigh like I asked her to come out and give me a friggen foot massage....so I said, "You know what, you drink it, we are outta here!!!!" Off to the other Sonic....my son now wants to go there just to see how much the employees stink... ANYHOO....if you dont mind the horrible service, by all means, have at it....I cant tell you how the food tastes as I havent eaten there, but I can tell you that if you dont mind driving an extra 6 miles, you are much better off going to the other Sonic in Buda. The food is great at that location. :-) read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. Employees suck, 2/3 timed my order is screwed up. I complained and the manager email back but could even use proper grammar. Never goin to sonic again. read more

What a terrible Sonic. . I tried to order only 3 drinks and 2 of them were the same drink . Had to to say order 4 times and then i got cut off and was given my total before i was even done ordering. .And only gave it a star because i had to to post this . read more

Went to sonic in Buda and they were out of ice cream, so no sundae for the kids. But it ended up well...took the kids to Dairy Queen...where they never run out of ice cream. read more

Ordered two burgers - both came out wrong. Sent one back, only to have it still made wrong. The tater-tots were dumped upside down in the bag. They were so greasy they were falling apart. The service was slow and unapologetic for the mistakes and the wasted time! Will not be back! read more

aright look, it's sonic a fast food place. yes it's good most of the time,usually they'll mess something up but it's alright cause i'll just ask for my actual order and then in 20 minutes i'll have my order. very slow process. They're nice people... read more

The drive-thru employees at this Sonic are so rude. They don't know the first thing about customer service. We frequent this Sonic (2-3 times a week) for happy hour. I cannot remember a time when we got great customer service. I fault the MANAGERS for not training their employees on the importance of good customer service. read more
