    Employee chatting with a friend to not allow us to go up to the window

    Service was horrid. Coming through the drive thru for a late night munch (10:38) with a few friends I informed "Guido" the man working there at the time that there were multiple separate orders, to which he responded "No". I then drive up to the window to see another employee dilidallying in the drive thru window. They then proceeded to refuse to give us service and then cuss me out on the mic. Unacceptable behavior from a fast food chain.

    Even though the roller skates don't make a debut here, I appreciate the solid customer service through the drive-in spots where it's easy to order through the touch screen. Not a single salad in sight and somehow that's alright... Breakfast all day long and different options of toasted breaded sandwiches seem to take over the menu with plenty of sauced and breaded duos ready for the "tots or fries" question. I personally like the Chicago dog here as it's served on a steamed poppy seed roll which is just to my liking. Who doesn't like mozzarella sticks ?! The good thing is they never forget to add the marinara sauce so you never leave resentfully unsatisfied. If you're in the mood for dessert, then order your meal through the screen first and then place your sweets order afterwards so I thing melts and you don't feel rushed. I remember the days when I used to drive up north to Broward for Sonic but having this ample location on the western típ of Hialeah surely makes my trips to the 33018 worthwhile.

    The positive, the workers were pleasant and cheerful. The negative was the lack of choices, because they were out of menu items, and of course those were the things I wanted. You pull up and see a large banner advertising their Totchos. You guessed it, not available. No Iced Tea either. So I settled for a corn dog and chili cheese tots. The tots were so salty. What happened? Almost inedible. Maybe the issues were Covid related, so I won't give two stars.

    I grew up around Sonic my whole life so I was excited to see one right where I work. It hasn't been open very long so probably I will be back but I went once to get a slush and a corn dog to relive childhood memories. The slush was ok but had too much syrup in it and the corn dog batter was not cooked all the way thru, that being said I went last Saturday for lunch which it was out of the way for me since I was not working in the area that day. I pre-ordered on the Sonic app so all I would have to do is pick it up when I got there. The app told me to go inside and tell the crew member my name for pickup. I did so and waited for about 10 minutes before asking to cancel my order. The manager came over to why I canceled my order, I let him know what happened and that I had to leave to back to work. Apparently the order was never sent to the Sonic and so was never prepared also the person at the register never even checked to see if it was in the system even though I payed for it already thru the app. The manager explained that he doesn't know anything about the app and that the app might not send the order into the restaurant. He returned my money using cash because he didn't know how to return the money back on my card thru the app. I might go back again when I am in the area but I will be hesitant.

    They even skate your dinner when you sit on the indoor area! That being said, the latest entrance to Hialeah Gardens' restaurant row needs a little bit of work. I heard about this chaim thru their folksy commercials and even ate at one in central Florida a few years back (might even be a review for it) so I was glad when they came to my neck of the woods. Seeing as though there was a bit of a line at the drive thru , I noticed there's also an inside dining space. The cashier was pleasant enough, but the dining room decor needs somework. There's an irregular scattering of tables, plus a huge empty space in the center of the dining room. Vibe, at least indoors, is your basic fast food restaurant. As far as food, I ordered their double cheeseburger and though sizeable and fairly juicy, nothing really jumped out as an essential burger joint. At least they got my buegger right with no mayo. My main "beef" with them is their fries. As you can see in the photo, the regular fries are really small. I'm talking about smaller than my hand small. The fries could have been crisper as well. The saving grace was the waffle Sunday I got for dessert. It had a nice spread of thin toasted waffles and actual strawberries. Maybe I'll just stop by for dessert..

    this is the second time we go to sonic's and order large fries and they are not even filled! charge more for large and they give me a regular size. so annoying

Great music and friendly staff. What we ordered- Croquetas 10/10 - Soft creamy inside and lightly crispy on the outside. Drizzled with a aioli style sauce. (In my opinion)the croquetas were so good they didn't need any sauce. Churassco w/ white rice, black beans and plantains 10/10 ohh this is everything a churassco should be. Juicy, tender and cooked full of so much flavor. The rice was perfect not sticky just perfectly fluffy and not oily and the beans are exactly what I always hope to be served at any Cuban restaurant. Absolutely delicious and full of so much flavor. I mean if they told me Abuela had made them I would totally believe it. Chefs kiss The hubs ordered the Picanha with morro rice and plantains 10/10 No crumbs or grains of rice was left on his plate! Absolutely delicious Needless to say this place is an absolute must!

However,…read morewith slow service and nickel and diming (18 percent automatic tip) and smallish portions I don't think I'll be back. Having had a quick workday lunch and walked around the mall, I had worked up an appetite. I was seated in a corner table for two and my order was taken. The restaurant did not seem that crowded even for a Friday night but it felt like a long wait. Unlike many Cuban places, they don't offer complimentary bread. I ordered their "platanos a tentacion" (bacon wrapped sweet plantains), grilled chicken and moros. The rice was a little hard and the chicken breast on the small side and barely seasoned other than the onions garnishing it. Service didn't feel very attentive for me as a solo diner. Between finishing my dinner and waiting to order either dessert or cafecito, I also sat and waited until a waitress finally came by. At that point, I just got the coffee and my check. I don't believe I was offered a printed receipt, just the card terminal. I asked if the tip was included and pretty much in time when I was putting the usual tip (trying to be generous with 20 percent) I was told that it was a service charge, and that the tip was extra, but had full amounts starting with 18%. So basically I paid 30% tip for a small portion of food and inattentive service. Looking back, I see that this restaurant had a different name and I had enjoyed dinner at their other location six years back. It's disappointing to see how it has fallen off. As it were, a lot of the original creative items on the menu are no longer being offered.

Sports Grill is a nice little neighborhood sports bar in the Royal Oaks shopping plaza of Miami Lakes, and a few doors down from Orange Theory that I go to. We ended up here last night when the Dolphins were playing the Bills for Thursday night football. I got there early enough that I had my choice of seats, and like the fact that they have TVs literally all along the walls and some hung from the ceiling to give everybody a nice view angle. Unlike the sports bar on the beach this last Sunday, Sports Grill definitely had a pro Miami vibe to it with one of the managers, walking around and cheerleading the crowd in "Let's Go Dolphins". Unfortunately, it was again 18-11 with the refs calling every questionable penalty against the Phins including a silly one overprotecting the punter (and we lost). There's definitely a fun Only in Hialeah vibe to this sports grill with the crowd at one table playing dominos, and "La Vaca" and other salsa & merengue classics played in the sound system. Speaking of cows, I enjoyed their delicious double smash cheeseburger on a fluffy bun with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. It came with an order of regular fries; we also ordered a basket of sweet potato fries to munch on along the game. My mojito was well blended and even a little sweet, while she enjoyed her Pinot Grigio. We also ordered a lemon drop shot, ostensibly to celebrate but alas...
