    A sandwich with the peice of plastic inside
    Oliver

    Normally, we have no issues with this establishment. However, on July 26th, we went and drove up. we ordered our food like normal, and my mother, who was with me at the time, found a piece of plastic in her sandwich, and then, as she was finishing up, she found another one and if she would've swallowed it her throat could've been damaged severely.

    This sonic has the worst service. No carbonated drinks. App does not work. None of their car hop drive ups do not work.

    For full disclosure, my superior rating is to offset the other horrendous reviews that seem just so unfounded. Furthermore, I don't like reviewing fast food chain restaurants, other than service they're all identical! Nevertheless, I just can't see all of these onesies and twosies for this joint. We stopped in on the way to the McCall's Pumpkin Patch and were totally satisfied. So if you're reading, corporate folk, it has improved. Extremely prompt response on the intercom, fast delivery time after ordering and everything was correct. The actual grub was exactly what one would expect, so I just don't get all the negativity. So current readers, it's not nearly as bad as previous reviewers annotated. It's a Sonic, what more do you want? Cheers!

    Two weeks and still nasty.

    There are 3522 Sonic Drive-Ins in the US and you have found absolutely THE worst one! For over a year now most of the red buttons on the menu board have been broken! When you ask them, they say "yeah we know." No sign on them, nothing. Not sure how the drive thru has priority over someone coming to eat there, but they do. I watched 6 different cars pull into the drive thru, order, and leave before our order was taken! They have no outdoor cleaning protocol apparently. One order kiosk has had mud all over it for over two weeks! Today I sat there for 16 minutes waiting to order and heard two other cars that pulled in after us place their order!? Sonic has been around for 71 years. That's plenty of time get some kind of business standard established. Rock bottom customer service. For a faster burger, go to the sale barn and buy a calf. In 4 years or so, you'll be set.

    Where is the bacon for the Bacon Cheese Burger

    We moved to Edgewood in November; this was our second visit to this Sonic. The first time we went at night before they closed, the order was wrong and the food was cold. Today was the second time, we went around 5pm, once again the order was wrong. I ordered the bacon cheese burger, got charged for it, but no bacon. I said no pickles, seems like they put extra pickles on it since there were 8 pickles. My husband ordered french fries and got tater tots. It was not very busy, I'm not sure if they just don't pay attention to the order, just don't care or just incompetent. My advice, if you choose to eat here, check your order before you drive off or just keep driving by. Plenty of Sonics down the road in Albuquerque.

    After getting to the bottom of drink and ice.....this is what was left.

    i was waiting for about 30 minutes just to order my food, and the wait to get food, took even longer. not worth the wait if you ask me.

    The food is good but service is slow. I know they don't have much help for employees. But still so slow.

    Came at 2PM on a Saturday. I understand it's a busy time, but a 50 minute wait for a limeade and a corn dog is too much.

    At just 20 mins away from southeast Albuquerque, Rumor Brewing serves the Cedar Crest community…read more The place felt homey and rustic, with a nice view of the mountains. There was a bit of live music on the patio after some rain. Both outside and inside spaces were plenty. The young server was very attentive and was on top of things. We went with friends so we sampled a few things. Our friends ordered the chicken bbq pizza and dry rub wings, while we ordered the chicken pesto and the New Mexican pizza. The thin crust on all pizzas was perfect, with a good balance between crunchy and soft. The green chile from the New Mexican pizza had a kick, the bbq chicken was tasty, and the pesto was smooth and mild. We all agreed that the pizzas needed more cheese.The wings were crispy but the rub didn't have flavor and the chicken was a bit dry. For our drinks, I got the Golden Ale while everyone else got La Madera. The Golden was smooth, lagers, with a bit of hoppiness. La Madera was a mild, dark, sweet ale that was quite good. Overall, this was a very nice experience on a rainy evening, with good brick oven pizzas and a nice dark beer. The wings, though could have been better. However, we are planning a second visit to try other items.

    This is my ABQ Beer Passport review for Rumor Brewing. Stopped by after a hike with the fam. Hidden…read morebehind a couple other buildings and not much to look at in comparison to the shiny new taprooms in ABQ. What they do have is great tasting beer, great tasting food, and fantastic service! We ate pizza, fries, Albuquerque turkey,& green chile burgers. All more flavorful than your average pub food. We sampled the stout, white wheat, red ale, and I particularly enjoyed their La Madera which was a dark lager. All and all, definitely worth seeking out for sure! While they sling food to help draw people in, you can tell the head brewer is proud of his beer!
