Great value for fast food! I ordered the double burger, and it was huge. I also got two wraps for my husband, and they were a great size. My only complaint is that the location is a little difficult to access. The entrance is right next to the drive-thru, which can be confusing, and you have to drive all the way around the building to get to the start of the line. The parking lot is also pretty small. Overall, though, the food was worth it, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

I recently ordered a medium onion ring and a Red, White, and Blue Slush Float. The float was great, and the only thing I would change is the ratio of topping to ice cream; there should be a little more topping and a little less ice cream. The onions rings weren't what I expected. The breading was a bit sweet and the oil tasted old; it left an odd aftertaste. The service was prompt and cordial. read more

First Sonic visit of my life. Came to sample the new summer "Big Dill" menu. I tried the Picklerita Slush and Pickle-Seasoned Tots. My husband had the Big Dill Double & Triple Sonic Smasher burger, and my stepson had Chicken Tenders, Groovy Fries, and the pickle slush as well. We were all pretty happy with everything. The Picklerita was the biggest hit for its novelty, but it was a little more limey than dill and quite sweet with the added boba. Not sure this will be a regular place for us, but the pickle menu was a fun treat! read more

Horrible service, forgot food in the order. Once the realization of that hit we also discovered a long black hair in the food bag (none of us have black hair). This is after waiting 25ish minutes for everything. Once called the chick who answered the phone sounded to have attitude read more

Took forever to take our order and be given our food. All the employees were yelling inside instead of working. Had things missing from our order so we had to go back through the drive thru and then were served raw chicken. Horrible experience. Horrible food. read more

Unfortunately if you don't speak Spanish you will have a huge language barrier when it comes to the drive thru waited for 20 min in the drive thru come to find out the guy couldn't speak or understand English I am Hispanic so I go to find out that the guy who does speak English wasn't on shift so they are struggling but the lady at the end window handing out the food she spoke great English didn't want to go maybe switch places I came up to her speaking English she tried to dismiss me when I spoke Spanish she decided to listen so I think it's a more you guys are picking and choosing who to help which doesn't do our people any favors at this time in history read more

My food and drink were good. Service was very disappointing. I waited 30 minutes at the drive up for my order I placed through the app, and no one ever answered when I pressed the red button (I was one of 3 cars there). I eventually went through the drive through and finally got my order, but I wouldn't come back to this location. read more

Mmmmmm Sonic! It's been a minute since I've been, however, I love the drink selection...the burgers aren't bad either.

i ordered thru DoorDash and the dasher told me that the employees had said that someone already picked it up even though I haven't gotten my food, it just was to much that I had to cancel my order! It's really not that hard to do the work there, I mean your food is good so I'll give you 1 star for that but if I could I would give 0 stars! It was only 2 Crispy Chicken Sandwich combos with sprite no ice read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Columbia Heights, Minnesota

This was the WORST food I've ever had at a Sonic Drive Inn. The service is usually okay, I mean, it's fast food but there was so much that went wrong with this order I don't know how they can stay in business. I used the mobile app to order some onion rings and frito chili wraps. When I arrived, I was informed they were out of onion rings but they came to my car and asked me what I'd take instead: I tried the broccoli cheddar tots. It wasn't much longer and I got my food. The tots were hot and for the first 5 or 10, they were okay but then it was too overwhelming. I don't know why I even tried them. I ended up throwing half of them away. The wraps were horrible. They didn't have any fritos in them and they were mushy. I sent a complaint to the company and said I'd like my money back. It was ridiculously bad. :( I don't know if I'll ever order food there again. read more

We enjoy going to Sonic to kind of "get out of the house" these days -- COVID, man -- and probably go once or twice a month. My favorite things to order here are the pretzel (I skip the cheese dip) and any flavor slush. Just today I tried a fresh banana shake after watching a "Keith Eats Everything" video on youtube. Things I'm not crazy about are their potato products and Sonic cheeseburger. I'll review these below! Pretzel * do yourself a dang favor and go get one of these. Do you love soft pretzels or are you a soulless shell of a human being? These are probably my favorite thing on the menu. The pretzel comes in a lil State-Fair-esque paper bag and is a pair long, twisted rods of dough. It has a respectable amount of salt and a delicious sweet aftertaste. I don't like the cheese sauce because to me it's straight salt and fake cheese, but my husband likes the cheese. Do what you will with this info. But get the dang pretzel. Slush * I've gotten different flavors each time we go. The only bad thing about these is that I feel guilty for the styrofoam cups that Sonic uses. The slushes I've tried have all been great. Lemon, strawberry lemonade, I think I had a blue one?, lime, you get the idea. Yummmmm. I always get a brain freeze from these, you've been warned. Fresh Banana Shake * Right. I haaaaate fake banana flavoring. But after I watched the video I mentioned, I learned that Sonic blends a banana into the vanilla ice cream. I was hesitant because WHAT IF Minnesota Sonic is different from California Sonic and they gave me a fake banana shake???? My fears were soon gone as I tried to suction chunks of banana through the straw. Really really good. I'd get it without the cherry and whipped cream on top next time! Here are my gripes about Sonic: their potato stuff is never crisp. I am consistently disappointed by soggy, bad-tasting fries and tots. You'd think I'd learn! But no. I give potatoes endless amounts of chances. The Sonic cheeseburger I got could've been from McD's, or anywhere really, and it seemed like it was missing ketchup. Is that right? One last note is that we've only really gone during the pandemic and it's not always the fastest service. Buuuut you can't really hold them to that, and the people working there have always been kind to us. I'd recommend Sonic for slushes, ice cream, and pretzels. Get yourself a snack and drive around! read more

Ice Cream Slushes! After 8pm they have 1/2 off ice cream slushes (shakes & floats too) which are my favorite. Can't beat a medium ice cream slushy for $2 & some change. This special is available for a limited time I believe. I ordered the Bahama mama ice cream slushy & it was delicious! With the ice cream it isn't too sweet. Bahama mama is a seasonal/limited time flavor. Very tropical flavor. My mom got a real fruit strawberry shake which she said was good. We went ordered via the drive thru vs. the drive in. Service was prompt & fairly fast. They weren't busy at all. In the past I have ordered sides like fries, cheesecurds, onion rings here but I'm not wild about the food & I stick to the slushy drinks. Getting here is weird. You have to turn down an alley road to get to the restaurant. I often turn too soon & end up in the abandoned restaurants parking lot next door (on Central) which has no outlet. Lol. read more

This is GOATED it is basically Dairy Queen but everything is one step better so amazing

We waited 30 minutes for our pre-placed app order. The shake was made in advance and was liquid. The food was really good, but no one here cares at all. Go to the one in Elk River for much better service read more

We sat for 20 minutes before we could even place our order. The worker could not understand put order and we had to repeat everything we ordered multiple times. They have a bathroom like all Sonics but they do not allow the public to use it. Drive a little further and enjoy your Sonic elsewhere. read more

Horrible service that takes forever. Drinks really badly made. But it's the only place to get fun mixed drinks, so it has that going for it.

if i could give this place a 0 star i would. gave me food poisoning. would never go back again

Disappointing. Showed up to get some ice cream and the place must have closed early that night for some reason. All the signs and online said open till 10 pm but we arrived at 9:30 and the place looked very shut down. We tried pulling up to order at the drive up and no one answered. So we drove around to the drive thru and there was a girl worker standing right by the window we tried to ask her if the restaurant was still open but she completely ignored us. She could clearly tell we were there and acted as if she couldn't see or hear us. I was bummed out it was closed and even more saddened by the customer service. read more

I get bags of ice a few times a week, and about 6pm today they gave my husband bags 1/2 full of powder and fist sized rocks of frozen solid ice. I don't know how that could happen unless they stored it in a walk-in freezer or something, where it froze solid, and then they beat it with something to try and break it up. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Chicken slinger - Burgers Near Me - Columbia Heights, Minnesota

My roommate and I needed to get out of the house, and we both like Sonic's chili cheese tots. We decided to make the trek to this location, hoping it was a cleaner, better-managed store than the one closer to home. We were encouraged by the signs at the drive-thru about the precautions that were taking for Covid-19, until we actually got to the window to pick up our food. Despite what was claimed in the signs, no one was wearing masks, and they were not keeping any sort of social distance from each other. It really is not all that much trouble to wear a dang mask, and it is being shown time and again that doing so can cut down the transmission the virus dramatically. We don't wear masks to protect ourselves- they protect other people from us. I don't care if your whole crew is "healthy." Asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission of the virus is a problem, and this store was doing nothing to protect their employees or their customers. Not cool. read more

BE AWARE OF YOUR SAFETY at this Sonic. Ordered on the App and it took 45 mins for me to get my food once arrived. I was on time with the scheduled time on the app order. Finally got my food, and advised the young black kid at the window that the food felt cold and there wasn't any reason to have to wait that long for a pre-paid order. I departed and then this kid came running out to my car from the inside of the building. I had to stop, so as not to run him over, and then he tried to get in my car from the window and fight me. I told him to get out of my personal space and I was feeling very threatened. He asked what I was going to do. I said I would remove him from my car if he didn't remove himself, at which point he stated he was calling the police. I parked and motioned for the store mgr to come out. She did and advised this associate to go back in the building. He refused. She advised him to go back in the building 2 more times, and he refused both times. We went around the corner and spoke for another 15mins about my experience. She got her Regional Mgr on the phone, and he didn't seem to care that much. He definitely didn't act surprised by my experience. I was told I could call back another day and speak with him if I wanted. Proper service has obviously taken a seat in the trunk. First, the Regional Manager wasn't going to follow up with me, but I would have to call him to follow up? Secondly, a verbal apology was thought of as just compensation for my wasted time, cold food, and an associate threatening me while also climbing into my car. My food was remade, but only after I stated that it was cold. I won't be back. Sonic is a complete circus and now you can get serve a side of threats from its employees. You must have to input notes stating you will pay extra for proper service since they now charge you for everything there: water, shakes with multiple flavors, mayo, mustard, relish, pickles, onions, etc. read more

This location is trash. The service is a hit or a complete miss. It used to be fine but my last few experiences were awful. Everything from getting water down shakes to getting orders wrong. I've resort to only going here for Limeades but they even screw up the flavors sometimes. Really a disappointment especially since this is the only Sonic around the area and it's being run by incompetent people. read more

The customer service is unspeakably poor. The lady answering the orders at night is so terribly rude. She yells back very very rudely "WHAT?!?" after saying everything even when I am raising my voice speaking the order through. Do not want to go back again. Terrible service from the drive thru woman who was speaking. Send help because this place needs it. read more

Not all of the digital menus in each stall are working, so you may need to switch stalls if you pull in and park. There is a long wait to place your order and get the food. Once you receive your order the food is delicious and the burgers are juicy and flavorful. The tots are seasoned perfectly and the onion rings are a good choice as well. This was my first time at this Sonic location and it made me happy knowing the location closest to me their service is spot on. read more

my time here was awesome and the customer service is amazing. I also want to add that they did some very cool tricks and they also let me out and roller blade with them. Next the food was typical for a normal fast food place but other than that it was amazing. Finally the ambiance was super cool and in order with no falls or crashes and services were fast. read more

On a business trip near Minny, I got really excited when I was driving down Central and saw a Sonic's! I told my co-worker we had to go there for dessert after dinner. I know there are a few of these located in southern California, but they're a bit far from L.A. and I just simply had never been to one. I was too full from dinner so I just ordered a hazelnut java chiller. It was pretty good but I guess I was expecting more. A lot of options and old school setup with the walk up service is cool... nothing seemed special other than that but I guess fast food is fast food. read more

Slowest Sonic in the world. I'm sure it has to do with staffing issues. I've waited anywhere from 15-30 minutes to place my order, one of which I simply gave up because everyone else was frustrated with waiting. read more

Absolutely horrible expierence here! They wouldn't let my friends and I order from any of the drive up spots. What the hell is the point if we can't use the drive up spots?! This is Sonic! We waited 35 minutes before being told to pull in through the drive thru. After being served our food in the drive thru, the food was a disgrace! My fried asked for a sandwich with no mayo with cheese but got a sandwich with mayo and nacho cheese. Who the hell puts nacho cheese on a sandwich? The sandwiches had a consistency of a rubber bouncy ball. Gross! Bit the reverse side of the sandwich hoping for a different taste and consistency but was greeted with a long stringy hair. Disgusting! Never will be back! read more

my meat wasn't cooked all the way through and I ask for no pickles but received pickles. very upset

The slowest service in town. Go eat there if you have enough time to wait for them. Otherwise very nice burgers.

came in for my first time. Ordered a footlong chicago style hotdog. when i opened it, discovered the bun was rock hard stale, i mean anyone could've noticed if they cared, the tomatoes had been cut some days earlier and were red mush. easily the most disgusting food it has ever been my displeasure to pay for, don't waste your time & money, plenty of other places to eat nearby. read more
