    Coffee shake
    Justin S.

    Sonic really do deserve higher stars. I drop by Sonic because I love there shakes and freshly made onion rings. I wanted to order the coffee shake, they stop serving it but they still had the syrup so they hook me up! I even ask if they could put the Oreo crumbs in there and they did! The service was good and the shake and onion rings. The only thing I didn't like was that they charge extra for sauces, and they didn't tell me that it cost extra. Back in CA it's free... Recommend this place but be aware of Sonic charging for sauce!

    Wow! My food was hot and tasted fresh! Thanks Sonic in Chehalis! I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the #1 burger with cheese tots!

    Unknown substance in my unsweetened ice tea
    Summer H.

    Eeew. Chehalis Sonic location. Ordered an unsweetened ice tea. Girl hands it over saying what I ordered. what is that added substance? It stinks and looks like grease that coagulated into my tea. Disgusting. Double check your orders before you drive away even something as simple as a drink.

    Bacon double cheese burger with no tomato

    Service was great, it was actually pretty fast too, normally I end up waiting. But I got home (6 minutes away) and opened my burger to double check that there was no tomato only to find a few pieces of wilted lettuce, and one piece of bacon cut in half. Definitely not what was advertised. I added some ketchup and mustard to it since it only had mayo on it and tried to eat it but the lettuce was so wilted and slimy it was gross and I couldn't do it. Awful.

    #10 Crispy Chicken Sandwich

    Food was terrible, ordered a crispy chicken sandwich and asked to add tomato, I got a plain dry, yet soggy (if that makes sense)chicken sandwich with no lettuce on it and one tiny tomato and pickles just slapped in it.

    SONIC - Cheeseburger

    20 min wait in the stall then they tell you the stall is closed and then another 30 mins wait in the drive thru for a cheese burger. Service is horrible here. They are severely understaffed and the wait is horrendous, be prepared to wait an hour for something that is considered fast food. What a joke.

    BLT

    I ordered a BLT meal today. It was pathetic. $24 dollars for the entire meal. Sad they used to have amazing food.

    Paid for extra Oreo and there are microscopic pieces of Oreo in this thing. Even after mixing it around there is NO Oreo in this. I went back inside to ask if they forgot the Oreo and she claimed this was "3 scoops" and I can't taste any or hardly see any. Total rip off, next time McDonald's it is!

    Hard to say the last time the sink was cleaned.

    See attached pictures. Based on the condition of the sink, I don't know the last time this bathroom is cleaned. A number of the parking spots were roped off, I assume the menus were not working. Burgers came out lukewarm. I miss the sonic of my youth

    Stopped in here on a Monday around 4 after leaving LaConner and the tulip festival. It's a local…read morehangout I'd classify more of a dive sports bars our favorite kind. There were a few people at the bar and a table of 2. We were asked if we were dining we said yes please. We were informed they were prepping hamburger for the next day so it might be a minute. We said no problem we'll just enjoy a beer and wait. We checked out the menu and picked out what we wanted when she was ready to cook. A minute later the server shows up and asks what we wanted to order, I asked didn't we have to wait until the hamburger was prepped. She responded "oh I just like to be prepared." So we placed our order for two burgers and she went back and prepared them. It was interesting people watching... very much a locals place.

    I was really disappointed, and it's only the second bar I've ever been to…read more My friend said he thought about taking me here because I'd have a BETTER time than Tower Tavern. Boy was he wrong! This place had extremely drunk people singing horrible karaoke...which, may not be the most unusual. But that was literally the entire population at the time we went...which was PEAK time to be at a bar! Then like I said above, nobody was there, except what my friend assumed were "the regulars." So we felt like flies on the wall for sure. Especially since I don't drink. It felt small and cramped, so when I heard that my friend had been here before "when there was a DJ" and related it to videos he'd Snapchatted, I knew this place wasn't for me. How could you fit in a "concert" of sorts? (His videos looked like a club environment, and waaay more space then what was really available.) I hate to say it, but this place ruined bars for me. They even asked me to pull my mask down when checking my ID. By the way, they didn't card at the door, just after my friend wanted a drink, so I'll bet they were shocked when I literally didn't order anything. Not even water. Overall, this place felt cramped, and the music was ear-piercingly bad. Literally, it gave me a migraine. I'll never be coming back, because the parking was horrible, and it was in a weird location that was enough out of the way. It doesn't get a 1/10 because I don't like bars, so people who do MAY be able to have a better time.

    My wife and I ate at Dairy Dan in Chehalis yesterday. Two meals came to more than fifty dollars…read more That is a substantial bill for a drive-in burger stand, and the service did not justify it. The adult working in the back was dismissive from the outset. One of the burgers we wanted was unavailable. When I asked what it was, a young employee answered that they did not have them anyway not an apology, not an alternative, just a clipped remark that made the shortage sound like our problem. The tray was then dropped and slid across the table. I said thank you. The reply was "Yup." A drive-in puts its staff in front of the public. That is the job. These are young people being given a chance to work and earn money. The interaction we received suggested they have not been taught, or required, to treat customers with ordinary courtesy. One employee spent roughly twenty-five plus minutes in the restroom before appearing on the floor. Sink was dry, I did not see any handwashing before she handled our order. In a food business, that is not a small detail. Remember, you never know whom you are serving. The person at the counter is not just another ticket. Courtesy is not optional because the customer looks ordinary, and accountability does come in reviews, in lost business, and in a reputation a small shop cannot afford to shrug off. This is consistent with what other reviewers have described for some time prices that belong to a sit-down restaurant, difficulty finding a supervisor, and a tone from the counter that treats a complaint as an inconvenience. Dairy Dan's reputation has always rested more on ice cream than on burgers. After yesterday, the service problem is clearer than the food. If the check is going to look like a restaurant check, the staff should be held to restaurant standards, look people in the eye, acknowledge a simple thank-you, and have an adult accountable when something is out of stock or a tray hits the table.

I had the Pesto Caprese pizza and it was amazing! The balsamic glaze added just the right amount of sweetness to bring together the different flavors.

Our server was very attentive and told us how all the ingredients were locally sourced, which is very good to hear because we like to support local businesses.

We will definitely come back and also check out the market next time.

    So Bad It Was Almost Comical…read more My wife and I stopped here for lunch on our drive from Oregon to Seattle. The parking lot was completely full, so after circling around and eventually finding street parking, we figured the place must be popular. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the high point of the experience. The main restaurant was fairly full, so we were seated in a large, dark bar area in the back. And then... nothing happened. For more than 30 minutes. Eventually, a waiter appeared and took our order. Then another 30+ minutes passed before the food arrived. Somehow, even our iced tea didn't make it to the table until the food did. All told, we spent roughly an hour sitting at an empty table without so much as a beverage, and about 90 minutes from the time we arrived until we actually had food in front of us. At that point, the whole experience was becoming almost comical. We ordered a cod burger with fries, a Caesar salad, onion rings and an iced tea. The cod burger was okay. Nothing memorable, but edible. The Caesar salad was actually good. The fries, however, arrived cold, soggy and thoroughly greasy -- quite an accomplishment considering how long we waited for them. The onion rings apparently embarked on a separate journey altogether, because they never arrived. By then, we'd lost the will to ask about them and just gave up. The grand total for one cod burger with cold fries, a small Caesar salad and an iced tea? $40.00! We mentioned the long wait, forgotten food and other problems to our waiter. He was sympathetic and explained that they were short staffed, which we understand can make things difficult. But being short staffed doesn't make a 90-minute lunch, no drinks for an hour, cold soggy fries and forgotten food any less disappointing -- especially at those prices. By the end, we weren't even angry. The whole thing had crossed over into comedy. Needless to say, on future drives between Oregon and Seattle, we'll be finding a different midway lunch stop.
