Because there isn't a Sonic near my home I always love to stop by when I am near one. This location is drive in and drive thru. Opted for the drive in this time so that I could take a break from driving and just sit and eat. I got the smash burger and it was delicious, it was piping hot and tasted very fresh. I got a side of onion rings and they were sweet which was a bit unexpected.

Sonic! No No No I haven't been out here in over a year. What happened to the value menu? 1/4 double cheeseburger was the BOMB! I would get a couple on my way to Los Banos to visit my mom, but since she's passed, I don't come out here much, but came out today on my bike still will return to get a couple burgers

8$ for this trash smashburger?? Yikes. This is really sad.

8$ for this trash Smashburger? Yikes! Sad. Reminds me of an old school McDonald's basic cheeseburger? Just unremarkable in every way.

Went through drive thru, the dude taking our order was very script, but it's All Good he was friendly, was able to answer any questions we had regarding the menu & other stuff, not really a talker or customer service guy They have a lot to chose from, burgers, dogs, options on sides to go w/your goodies & not to mention a ton of options on What Do I Feel Like washing the food down with I'm pretty sure w/what ever you do get from here, you'll be satisfied & u have to go w/your gut on what exactly are you feeling like you want to eat, before actually ordering.

Double SONIC Smasher Combo

Honestly used to love this location. Hadn't had it in a few years and in the meantime was going to the Hayward location. That place was hit or miss and more times than not, it just plain sucked. So I was thinking damn maybe sonic just ain't it anymore. Went back to the gilroy location again and it was noticeably far more superior in quality. Very consistent with gilroy. Tried the double sonic smasher for the first time! It was delicious! Finally a fast food chain that has a smash burger that actually is a smash burger. Even had the thin crispy skirt edges on the patties like it a smash burger should have. Great sauce, pickles were awesome, onions and that bun is quality. Unlike Jack in the box whose smash burger is a standard patty like every other one of their dry bland burgers. Great job Sonic gilroy. I've regained faith in Sonic again and now know it's just the Hayward location that blows.

A store that should be open yet they're not because they wanted to go home early!

Would leave 0 if possible! Drove from Morgan Hill to Gilroy to get some late night onion rings with my girlfriend, yet they decided to close well before 11:30 even though they're not supposed to close till midnight! Very disappointed, won't be returning. Service was awful, guy on speaker was rude and sounded angry at the world. The ambiance was also terrible if I might add!

And I am calling and no one answers!

See all

Stumbled upon this place while getting coffee and was surprised they were open early!…read more They have so many cookies to choose from. Brownies to lemon bars to ice cream and whatever cookie flavor you want. I tried out their brownies and so delicious ! Even better warmed up. Also got the peanut butter cookie which was ok needs more peanut butter flavor tasted more like a butter cookie. Their snickerdoodle and regular chocolate chip cookie were good!! Will come again to try more cookie flavors!

The wife has a co-worker that told her about this place. It's a bit hard to find as the address…read moresays it's on 10th street but is actually way to the back side of a shopping center on 10th behind a pizza place. Looks like they bake their cookies fresh on site, but I'm not sure who makes their ice cream. When we walked in a gentleman told us they had cinnamon rolls as well. So basically you can order cookies or ice cream or combine the 2 into an ice cream sandwich. So I decided on 1 Red Velvet cookie and one Chocolate Chip cookie with Cookies and Cream ice cream since they were out of Cookie Dough, (the absolute best ice cream flavor in the world). I believe the cookies run about $4 each and if you get an ice cream sandwich, that runs about $8. The cookies are a decent size and the scoop of ice cream I received was generous. So much so that it makes trying to take a bite of the sandwich practically impossible. You pretty much have to come at it from the side or just bite one side of the sandwich at a time. But the cookies were soft, sweet and tasty and the ice cream was pretty good too. The quality was good but I did think the pricing was a little high though.

TLDR; 5/5 ambiance, 4/5 ice cream, 3/5 service…read more On our way back from a day in Monterey, and we wanted to try garlic ice cream. So after a quick search, I called the shop ahead of time and the lady on the phone was very personable and confirmed that they indeed do sell garlic ice cream, but they keep it in the back room so we would have to specifically request it, and no free samples. This was all fine and well for us, and I was looking forward to meeting her after our friendly chat. Unfortunately, our ice cream server was not the same person I spoke with over the phone, but a younger male who was honestly quite rude to us. He was not very helpful when answering questions about the flavors and looked annoyed that he would have to go to the back when we asked to purchase a scoop of garlic ice cream. On the plus side, the vibe of the parlor was very cool and old-timey, a perfect fit for the surrounding downtown area. Garlic ice cream: Very garlicky but also satisfyingly sweet enough to not be overwhelming. Glad to have tried it once. Irish chip ice cream: Coffee ice cream with chips that wasn't too sweet as most classic ice cream parlors are. Waffle cone was standard, unfortunately not fresh.

The wait in line was long, but that's not surprising considering it was Friday night. They need to…read morehire extra staff or schedule someone to work an extra shift for those times it gets really busy. The location itself is a little small so there's not much room for sitting down to eat. Plus the line pretty much runs throughout the length of the store so if you did sit down to eat, expect for someone to always be standing near your table while you eat. The ice cream is standard Baskin Robins Ice Cream. It isn't made in the location so it's pretty much the same wherever you go. I didn't have a smoothie or banana sundae so I can't speak to the quality of those dishes. There were only three people working there when we went but they were all working fast to get the orders fulfilled. Some reviews have mentioned the age as a negative factor. I don't think having younger people work is any issue. There was one interesting thing. No employee was wearing a uniform or name tag and each employee had an AirPod in one ear. Some people might find that unprofessional, but it's Baskin Robins not the French Laundry. Overall pretty solid location. Only 4 stars cause the floor was a little dirty and the wait time.

I would have given them NO STARS but that wasn't a choice. My husband went in to get 2 pre-packed…read morequarts of Jamoca Almond Fudge. They told him there wasn't any in the case and they would have to pack it and then proceeded to charge him the "hand-pack" price of $21.99 per quart vs. the $10.00 per quart for the pre-packed. Further when we opened the ice cream at home it was only half full. $51.00 for 2 quarts of ice cream. We will never frequent this store again and I suggest you do the same.
