    M&M SONIC Blasts cookie dough bites
    Jahkar B.

    The food was good besides the overcooked popcorn chicken. I enjoyed the m&m blast with cookie dough bites I'd come back for those any day

    Ordered a strawberry slush through the mobile app. This is what I received when I came to pick it up: I come to this location often (mainly drive thru, only recently started to use app) and order a strawberry slush EVERY TIME. Also did not receive an apology for the error. I'm very disappointed. The one star is only because it was replaced.

    Mini chocolate malt. Half price shakes after 8:00 pm. It's your chocolate fix!
    Nikunj S.

    I have always relied on Sonic to cater to life's little pleasures. Breakfast, drinks and dessert. And so it was that I stopped here and got myself a mini chocolate malt which was offered at half price after 8:00 pm. I had come to Hillcroft Avenue to pick up my wife from Shahnai's banquet hall. It was quite late and I had not eaten anything. I pulled in, looked at the choices and tried to order the smallest chocolate malt which was $1.99. I was not being stingy, I was committing a diabetic's blasphemy! I knew the sugar high would disorient me. But I was prepared for the subsequent remorse. I hit the red button and tried to order. Here's how it went, more or less. Sonic radio is blaring overhead so I can barely hear anything. S - Welcome to Sonic, can I take your order? N - I would like the smallest chocolate malt please S - One large slushy, what kind? N - I want the smallest chocolate malt milk shake S - A chocolate shake, what size? N - M A L T - malt. S M A L L - small S - A mini chocolate malt? N - YES When the young man brought out the shake, I asked him politely if he had taken my order. He had and he apologized for the confusion. I laughed and blamed it on the music blaring from the speakers above. I took a sip of the extremely sweet malt, felt the sugar high creep up and drove off to pick up my wife. When we got home, the $1.13 malt, was discarded. I had taken 3 sips. I did not need that sugar. I keep telling myself, no more of this fix.

    Good stuff! I love the breakfast that's served all day and of course the Ultimate Drink Stop! Get the Route 44 strawberry limeade with less ice. Yum and refreshing. Want something different? There's so many to choose from. My favorites depending on the day: jumbo popcorn con, con strips,footling qtr pound coney, or the super sonic dbl cheeseburger. Haven't friend the country fried steak sandwich yet, but I'll have to sometime. Only thing I think missing is they need a fish sandwich of some sort. If that's there and I happen to drive-by during lent season then it'd be perfect!

    Drive thru is how I do!

    Slow drive thru service. Food made to order. Hard to get to if crossing Hillcroft. For that reason I wouldn't return.

    When I received my food, the carhop who gave it to me (I think their name was Bradly) apologized for the wait and also asked if I wanted more napkins or condiments.

Consequently, Yelpers should not be surprised the…read moreparking is mostly in paid lots, just like in every major city in the US--Cocos does not deserve to lose a star for this as in some reviews that brought down their average. You may order online, in shop through a tablet, or with a person at the register. We used the register because we did not see the tablet and did not want to order ahead online. The ladies who helped us on our visit were very nice. You get a number and they call it when your made to order food is ready. We did not have to wait long. There was medium to low noisy ambiance. It was deserted when we arrived, but they have relatively loud background music. While we were eating it got pretty crowded. Mostly a lot of young people in the middle of the day on a Monday. The inside is small, seating both inside and outside are limited and close together. One lady was studying with her laptop, but there are no plugs. The breakfast sandwich is customizable. We got it on a croissant and with sausage. The eggs had a unique texture and the sandwich a unique flavor that we could not place, but both were very tasty. We also wanted a crepe, but we split the sandwich and it was sufficient. We also got a small mocha and a decaf, both were ok to good. We would definitely come back again and recommend that you give them a try for a crepe or sandwich. It is sad that a few Yelpers brought down their average to 3.8 stars due to petty and unjustified complaints such as having to pay for parking downtown. Other complaints are not the business' fault such as periodic homelessness--it is a downtown area in the US, other cities have far worse homelessness than Midtown Houston and we saw none on this visit. Additionally, complaints about takeout orders are mostly petty. Takeout is never as good as eating at the restaurant and so customers should adjust their expectations rather than dock the business stars. Nearly every recent Yelp review for this who ate at the restaurant gave 4-5 stars for food quality and customer service. Like most of the restaurants in this area it is a pretentious yuppy style place with specialized food. Although not usually our type of place (we like down to earth hole in the wall places with good food or taco truck type restaurants), Coco's is a solid 4 star restaurant for the type of place they are and they offered a 5 star experience on our visit. Again, recommend you give them a try if you are in the mood for crepes or sandwiches.

    New to the area and this was my first experience!! Food was delicious and service was great…read more Seating both inside and out but keep in mind it's a small environment. I had the smoked salmon panini and the peach lemonade both so good! I can't wait to go back and try the crepes
