Wow! I had to leave Bakersfield to find a clean Sonic. Now I know it can be done. Sonic management in Bako needs to send their managers to the Delano location to see how it's done. Great location, clean, fast, and nice staff. read more

Sonic Drive-In - It's a sonic drive-through. What do you want for nothing, a rubber biscuit? - Burgers Near Me - Delano, California

Water should be FREE of charge. They should inform the customer that a cup fee applies. read more

Long slow lines!! The staff here is incredibly rude. Happy hour is your best bet because otherwise they are over priced. Beverages here are the only reason we come, and unfortunately continue to come. read more

Only one person working , took forever to get our Order . My burger bun was stiff and they didn't even have corn dogs had to get me a hot dog instead! read more

Today I decided to take my daughter to Sonic not only was the customer service horrible when the employee drops off our food she is not wearing a mask or gloves while I was ordering you couldn't understand what she was saying she sounded like she did not want to be there. I will never return to this restaurant and will forward my experience with others. read more

Wait time is bad. Only go if there is no one in the parking lot or in line at the drive threw. The food is sonics, so tried it in one place its the same here. read more

Their food is really very oily. And the prices are outrageous. Always allot of noisy teenagers.

Worse sonic ever ..... they never have shit to eat . They are so slow . Take about and hour for 15 min order . Food is cold . Customer service is horrible and they are rude ... it not even 11 and they run out of buffalo sauce already !!! read more

This place is a joke. Went there on my way to Fresno and was told that it's a 25 minute wait to get the food. Place was not even busy with just one other car. The guy said he was the only one working. Poor management I can tell read more

Do not come here! Workers take way too long. They take more than 30 mins just to make a milkshake or a slush. Waited in line for more than 15 mins just to take my order and we were the only ones in line. It's not even busy. Another thing, one of the workers got our drinks wrong so its most likely going to take another 30 mins. read more

I really dont want to even give "ONE" star...this place was extremely rude today...The so called manager Timothy was a complete moron...Our food came out at 9am cold....I initially asked to remake it BUT the other employee who bought the food out was filthy dirty so I asked for a refund for everything except what we ate...Timothy response was "really?? after yall sat and ate the food??..How about I call the police?"...LOL...OMG..it went down from there...had to call corporate and the police... Update: The next morning I tried calling to speak with the manager whose name is supposed to be Jeff...coincidently Timothy answered the phone and long story short, said he cant tell me manager name or what time he will be there...so my next step is calling CAL OSHA and BBB and expose all the video that we recorded of them...how nasty their uniforms were, the fact that we caught the carhop working on a blue truck in stall #10 l, uniforms looked like he doubles as a JiffyLube employee and gave the man a Route 44 drink and a bag of food and no money was exchanged...yes we have all that on video... Im trying not to be petty but this experience was down right WRONG!! read more

I came to town to visit family and had a craving for some Sonic. I ordered a cheeseburger and there was NO cheese. I ordered jalapeño poppers, popcorn chicken, fries and there were NO sauces provided. A slush with nerds (NO nerds inside). It took about 12 minutes to get my food! What's even worse is my debit card wasn't given to me right away after purchasing. It took about five minutes to get my card back, and I began to suspect them trying to get my card number. All the Sonics in Bakersfield are fast and already provide sauces for specific orders and get it right. I will not be coming back to this Sonic here in Delano! No woo hoo's for this place! read more

The "One" star was forced by yelp, I went here today with my sisters, when our food was brought out to us, I WAS SHOCKED AT THE APPEARANCE of the employee, who we later found out was the SO-CALLED MANAGER TIMONTHY, he was dirty, and so was the other guy working, he was actually outside in the parking lot helping his family member fix his car, THEY LOOKED LIKE SOME DRUG HEADS with dirty nails, clothing and to top it off THE FOOD WAS HORRIBLE AND COLD, and my strips looked like chicken nuggets instead of Strips, the bread on the hamburgers were hard and cold, and when we asked for a refund he got very offended, And he yelled at us "SERIOUSLY Y'ALL WANNA REFUND, and went on to threaten us with the police, it was jus ridiculous... read more

Big beard, dirty looking with open blisters on hand ,rude attitude told me I couldn't pay cash and card had to b one or the other then got all mad when I had to cancel.sad to c this sonic run by mostly rude ppl read more

Its really too bad that this place is not open during the hours it advertises. Its says open till 1am well its 11:23 pm on Saturday night and I'm greeted at the drive thru speaker with a beavis and butthead sounding " uhhh were closed" i am really glad you lazy fucks dont get $15 an hour.. You dont deserve it read more

Worst sonic ever. they take 30/40 minutes to take your order (as if they avoid you for you to leave so they don't have to work), always says theyre out of something every single time i go there. i won't be surprised if this placed gets closed because how bad the workers are read more

Service is horrible it took them 39 minutes to actually take my order and all i got was a strawberry shake, they need to hire more employees maybe like that it wont take so long to take oders, this was my first visit there and will definately be my last visit. I was not happy with their service. read more

For this restaurant being in a small town, the idea and concept of a Sonic here should actually work really well. Gives kids and young adults a place to go on the weekends. Despite these opportunities, THIS PLACE SUCKS. The owner should more carefully screen the people they hire as the service here is probably the worse service I've ever had. I've been here probably 30 times since my stay here in March, and every single time service was horrible. One time, they cut me off while I was ordering and I had to call from my cell phone to inside to let them know they cut me off. Another time, I sat at a stall for 20 mins before they came onto the intercom to tell me they were only doing drive thru at that time. Takes forever for them to take your order. If you don't have enough help, then hire more, and be picky about who you hire. Food is always ok, but not great like it should be. Sonic blasts never have enough toppings mixed in and they are only on the top, not mixed throughout. Whomp whomp whomp!! They almost ALWAYS do NOT get my order correct. Feeding a family of five, I'm usually leaving there with about $60 of food and they just never get it right. I think I'll take my $60 per meal and go somewhere who will work hard to make my dining experience nice. It's really not a lot to ask for. If I could give them a ZERO, I would!! read more

This drive thru takes forever, I type this as I sit here waiting and I'm only doing it because my little sister really wants a milk shake. But damn, get it together. Y'all either need a better manager or need to train these people on how to make everything quick and pretty! read more

I literally don't know what is going on with Delano's fast food restaurants. I came to sonic for a night snack and the employee on the head set was super rude. I literally had to ask him to ask me the questions need in order to complete my order! Seriously people, if like your customer service occupation, then get a new one! read more

Customer service was bad, I asked for ketchup, I didn't get any. My cheeseburger had tomato's when I made it clear I didn't want any.

Really a NEGATIVE star!! This is the rudest and worse SONIC!! It's sad that since it has opened there has been no change. Management must not care because most of the employees are rude and give horrible service. So either it's continuous horrible management or maybe the same rude employees that obviously hate their job and maybe even their life because they are stuck working at the Delano sonic... Idk but I'm hoping that someday there will be a change but doubt it. Also, the Delano business hours NEVER match what it says online for that location... So I don't know if the closers make up their own hours or the web is constantly wrong but that is another thing to look into if you even care. read more

Customer service is horrible. They took over thirty minutes just to gives a spoon since they forgot to give it when the they handed me the shakes. I constantly see people complain and argue with the employees. read more

First off, This is my very first yelp review. I'm from out of town and there are not many Sonics from where i'm from but this is the worst ever. I ordered the 6 pc boneless wings combo only to receive the wings warm and the fries cold. I then asked an employee if i could get new fries, she walked in to ask someone if she could serve fresh fries and said "oh he said no i don't know, i don't remember but..." And walked away. Her work ethic was diminishing. She seemed like a new hire, i'll give her that. When the guy (in the picture) came out i asked if i could get fresh fries. He said to give him 1-2 minutes so i waited. 15 minutes later after he had gone to talk to his friends in a car, sitting around, and denying other people requests he finally served the fries... On the other side of the table. Not to mention there is dirt on his arms and under his fingernails, stains that seemed like his clothing has not been washed for days. I even heard a lady claim "is it me or does it smell whenever he walks over here". On top of all that he overcharged other customers for a refill and he pocketed the change. Deserves no stars. read more

See all

It sucks coming here. I would give it 3 stars for how good my drinks usually taste but the waiting time and customer service is just ridiculous. You guys need more help, because I shouldnt have to wait in line for 20 min for just two cars in front of me and no one in the drive in windows. read more

The worst customer service ever !! I ordered the popcorn chicken with fries, when we got the order, the fries were cold. I asked for a fresh fries, and some girl came out and was trying to explain, but she was such an airhead about it!! Then we asked another guy for new fries, and we get it 30 minutes later !!! I already finished my popcorn chicken and drink. read more

Worst sonic I've ever been to they took so long to give me my food plus fries were cold asked for fresh fries they took another 30 mins just for some damn fries DO NOT COME HERE!!!!! read more

No star...the guy who help us was so rude.i understand the struggle of working of alone,but that doesnt mean you need to yell at your customer.i ask for my itemized receipt coz i think theirs a missing order and then he yell at me.he even told me im the one who's rude.His name is timothy,and seriously just surprise that he is the manager.Goodluck to the other customer. read more

Came here at night time, the door says 7 am - 12 am. Came like at 11 pm And there was 2 or 3 guys working. I was tryin to order and none of them helped me. Pressed the red button like 7 times. And all they did was looked at me through the window. While sitting waitin inside my car, one guy walked to the door and locked it! He knew we were waiting. He didnt even bother to asked or atleast tell us they closed early or something. Bad services, all i wanted was my strawberry slush. read more

First thing about this horrible location. They forgot to add ketchup, like most places. Then I drove home with my drive through order and found out that I was missing an order of tots. But that didn't really bother me. What bother me was when I took the first bite of the grill chicken club sandwich and the meat was burnt completely. So now I come to the conclusion of doing my first negative Yelp review and I will never return to this restaurant. the fact is that this is not the first time this people ruined the order. I'll probably visit a sonic restaurant at a different location but never in Delano... read more

I just would like to know who are the two morons on tv that do the sonic commercials? they are very annoying I always change the channel when the sonic commercial comes on. read more

I give this place 3 thumbs down me and my 3 sisters stopped in to buy food at 930 am we recieved our food it was cold and we had to send it back mind you we noticed another employee outside in the parking lot helping someone he knew work on a car . So once our food was ready to be sent out guys who brings it out the guy who was in the parking lot when he came out this guy was so dirty he looked as if he had engine oil over his shirt his hands and nails were filthy at 9am so we all decieded to give the food back and ask for a refund. We paid for the drink and the tots that we started to eat when my sister asked for a refund the employee who name was Timothy said oh really you want a refund how about i call the police . So we said ok and we waited around eventually the employee Timothy came out he was dirty as well. Im a total Sonic fan but this one here was horrible . Bad customer service . We called corporate and made a compliant . read more
