    Honey BBQ popcorn chicken

    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.

    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.

    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..

    fries

    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

    Located right outside of Westland Mall facing the parking lot next to H & M…read more Lots to look at and admire. Loved the lighting fixtures and the murals on the walls. 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! Definitely will be back

    I came by their new location in Westland Mall today since I was shopping and I was hungry. 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.

    Had lunch at this Butgerfi and the staff was pretty nice and friendly…read more I loved the spicy veggie burger I ordered. It was just the right amount of spice! Very tasty but not insulting to the taste buds! Super soft burger bun and real fresh ingredients! I also got a side of French fries with spice on them. The spice was a bit too salty for me but the fries were fire!! Had to get a fountain drink which I wasn't too happy with the choices. I would like it they offered better drinks. They have fountain drinks like Coke and Minute Maid Lemonade and other coca cola drinks including root beer. So I would love to see more natural juices, refresher water or iced teas. I think that would compliment their burgers really well! Another thing to consider is the prices of these burgers. They run about $9-$11 plus the fries ( individual size $4.99), and drink $3. Plus the tax and tip you end up paying about $20-22 for a burger combo. So it's a cool place for adults but I would be curious to see how much a family of 4 or more would spend here..$100...$120? Because of those 2 things I gave them 4 out of 5 stars! The drinks are definitely needed. You're going to lose clientele or money from people who either won't drink the fountain drinks or the healthier ones who'll bring their own water bottle.. P.S. I forgot to take pictures! Their food is excellent no complaints about it!

    I stopped by the Miami Lakes location for a quick lunch and ordered a single BFI cheeseburger and…read morefries. Unfortunately, the entire experience was frustrating from start to finish. I placed my order at the kiosk and selected the option to pay with cash, but the kiosk didn't seem to process that choice correctly. When I asked the cashier if she could pull up my order on her screen, a manager from the back stated that it couldn't be viewed and would have to be entered manually at the register. The cashier took a photo of my order, and I clearly told her the order was to go before she entered it into the system. The kiosk total was about $16, but when the order was manually entered at the register, the total came to nearly $30. When I questioned the difference, the General Manager had to step in, remove several selections, and correct the order. After paying, I waited for my food. During that time, I observed the cashier cleaning around the trash bins and condiment station. About five minutes later, she brought my food out on a tray and placed it on the table. I reminded her that the order was supposed to be to go. I then walked to the counter, where I watched her pick up my hamburger with her bare hands and place it into a takeout box. That was the most concerning part of the visit. This was the same employee who had been handling cash, cleaning around trash receptacles, and then handling food without gloves. I immediately brought the issue to the General Manager's attention because basic food-handling and sanitation practices should never be overlooked. He said "We'll do better next time"? LIKE WHAT?? What should have been a quick "in-and-out" lunch turned into an unnecessarily long and disappointing experience. Between the kiosk issues, pricing confusion, order mistakes, and food-handling concerns, this visit fell far below expectations. I hope management takes a serious look at both the ordering process and food safety procedures at this location.

The location is convenient, and there are parking spaces. Not too many, but enough to have people coming and going steadily. Everything was closed around there, except for Wendy's and Taco Bell across the street. We decided to give it a try since we were exploring the city, and how wrong can you go with burgers? We ordered bacon burgers with fries. They also have cheeseburgers and other toppings to choose from from the menu. You can replace the burger with chicken if you want. There are two vegan options too, good call, by the way--also, tequeños and different flavored chicken wings, and fries with cheese, or onions or bacon are available to order too. In the parking lot, there are a few small tables if you want to eat there or wait for your order. We chose to sit and eat there. We were not missing the experience of people-watch in Miami! We were there for 40 minutes, and cars stopped all the time. There was even a line at some point. So, the burgers were very tasty, right-sized, nothing overdone. The fries were okay too. We liked the place and the experience very much. A great option to consider for a late-night snack!
