    Inefficient. One vehicle in drive thru window and they STILL didn't answer the stall for 5 minutes.

    We waited 5 min in one stall, they wouldn't answer so we moved to another one. They didn't answer that one either. Decided to use the drive thru. There was one car ahead of us, so they weren't busy. If you're looking for a quick on-the-go meal, don't bother using this drive in - they won't answer, even with only one car in the drive-through window. The wait for the food was excessively long. This is my first horrible Sonic experience, and I won't use this one again on my weekly travel to Deming. From now on, it's definitely McDonald's.

    Day nine of our road trip to San Diego, stop 1. Our last day of driving, thank God. The last nine hours of nonstop road, books on tape, and stupid driving games and we'd arrive at our new hometown, San Diego. First however, we have stops along the way. We haven't chronicled but one of the gas stations, as most are not of any special note. But we've stayed true in telling of all the food and retail experiences along the way. We missed one Starbucks, but I'm not gonna review every Starbucks I visit. Anyway, lunchtime has passed by an hour or more and Sarah's tummy is grumbling. As boys do, I ask her what she's in the mood for, but not expecting the answer I got... "Sonic," she says. "Sonic," I ask, "really?" "Yup." Now she knows that I've never had a Sonic in my life. In fact, Grand Rapids, Michigan... the very hometown we just left only got Sonic just a few months ago. Get this, there was a line to get Sonic that stretched for miles an took four hours to get through. What on earth?! I didn't get the hype. As far as I was concerned, I had every fast food chain I gave a hoot about within five minutes of my house. No need to go a half an hour to wait four more hours to eat fast food. Ick. Eeeew. Well, the day I was to try Sonic finally arrived. I guess it's something I couldn't avoid. And believe me, spending 1/3 of my childhood summers in the south, it wasn't an easy task. We pulled into the drive-in and I just stared at the menu, not so much in shock as in confusion. In my rearview I saw a girl slide by on skates, and I smiled. After figuring out how to operate the whole menu/ordering deal, I went with the Green Chile Burger with Tots and a Diet Coke. Sarah had the Chicken Sandwich, Grilled, Tots, and a Diet Dr. Pepper. The results, in my opinion... poor. Sonic is a new addition to the fast food list I've got going now, and goes straight to the bottom. Any suggestions on how I might change my mind are welcome. Tip: if at this particular location, look out for the stray dog. Smart dog at that, as a Sonic Drive-in would be a perfect spot to score food whenever the craving came along. Check the pics, he's cute!

    There was a pretty long wait at the drive through, but they got our order right which is a rarity at a Sonic these days.

    For it to be nobody here in the middle of the night, waiting 30 minutes in a drive through is crazy!

    We were on the first leg of a cross country road trip. We stayed a couple days in Deming and…read moredecided we needed just some basic eggs and toast before heading out. There was not much going on in the town at 5am on a Saturday but the Denny's sign was lit up like Las Vegas! We walked in to a quiet reception area but got seated in the happening place of the dining room. One table full of charming cowboy hat wearing older gentlemen . With another table of presumably their wives. Everyone happily chatting away and enjoying their morning coffee. A few other tables of similar folks. Husband and I placed our order, enjoyed the coffee and proceeded to people watch. The food was pure Denny's . Decent and hot with plenty of fresh coffee offered. Just what the doctor ordered. So what. Big deal. Right!?! After all it's a restaurant that's supposed to serve meals. But this experience at this specify Denny's was different. You see we were welcomed, seated, served and coffee-ed by just one person. The same assistant night manager who was helping each and every person. All by himself. There was probably a cook back there somewhere but all we saw was him. All alone. Clearing all the tables. Serving. All the while a big smile and very efficient. Thank you Demings Denny. Whoever your assistant night manager was, he deserves a raise and a paid vacation.

    Nice place to stop while traveling. Typical Dennys food, done well…read more Service was a bit inattentive, otherwise this would have been a 5.
