    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.

    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!

    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.

    Drive thru is how I do!

    Fast and good service. Their milk shakes are amazing. Food is consistent. This is a decent location.

I had opted for a beef burger with a side of chili cheese tater tots to share. The burger is quite large and filled generously with whatever add-ins you check off so it was very filling for me. I went with two 2oz patties, but considering the size, I'd opt for a single 2 oz patty if I go back. For my burger I also added scallion aioli which didn't have a strong green onion flavor but was still nice and added creaminess to the burger overall. The tater tots were super crispy, and the chili cheese topping was nice. I had gone shortly after they opened and it wasn't super busy but it started to quickly fill up around 11:30-12.

The basic burger is $12, and anything you want to add or replace is extra. Now that's including the basic sauce, which I thought would be an additional homemade sauce if I needed. Again, I am learning. I ordered grilled chicken, but at the counter, a very nice person, Eric, told me they were out of grilled chicken and had fried chicken available. I guess so, since I spend some time. I don't want to wait any longer. I also ordered homemade lemonade, which came with lots of ice. I requested that some ice be removed. I also added chard jalapenos, which were tasteless and slightly burned, so they lost their flavor. The food pick-up area was separate, and the guy who gave you a food tray could have been friendlier and said thank you. Oh well, my burger was a piece of chicken with lettuce and onion. It was ok but very dry inside. So make sure you order sauce or anything for your burger, and pay for it. When I got there, the dining hall was empty. I like this place, but plz if you're going there for the first time, read the menu carefully and place your order. Service could be friendlier, and the dining hall was clean.

A standard smashed Double cheeseburger and generous extra crispy impressively seasoned waffle fries as you want it cost $16 which is fair since adding the fries vs standalone burger is only $1 price differential. Clutch City Grill sits next to Burger Chan (the most recent title holder of best burger for my son) but this Sunday, they were not open so we tried the one we didn't try last time--CCG. And let me just say that this place tucked away inside a collective indoor food concession aka The Conservatory Galleria, has every right to boldly don the clutch city burger title. Inside this perfectly grilled almost Hawaiian role type hint of sweet homemade bun is a masterclass of burger perfection, made right in front of you and to your liking based on your selections from the order tap screens. While, waiting, I looked at everything I didn't order as it was being served and I'm almost certain that anything you order at CCG is delicious. Presentation is superb because others were sitting with large selections in front of them that caused me a bit of buyers remorse--I couldn't decide. The vibe is chill enough to talk to the grill master while my son was figuring out his massive burger order--he randomly had a hash brown added to a patty melt. And ordered something to take home or in case one order wasn't enough for the teen appetite. But the food is massive. I cannot stress that enough. Portions of everything there are beyond generous from what we saw and this is the kind of place where there's delivery guys picking up, people working on their laptops and the average joe grabbing takeout after work as well as families having dinner but not crowded. We sat and reflected on a great shopping day in a chill environment and reminisced on the old days of Galleria area last minute back to school night before/we should do this more type of memories in the making. The take something to go plus my own leftover (cutting the burger in half is an open from the order touch screen) and it passed the ultimate test of being really good cold the next day. This place begs the question--where is everybody? I can't be the only one who knows about it. But also was inviting enough to silently confirm that I think we've found our place. One that even has a cool bathroom with a mirror that says "you look amazing." Exactly how you're going to feel about the food that looks even better than it does in its promo photos

The patty was totally unremarkable and may be frozen out of the box patty. The rest of the toppings were fine, but nothing outstanding and nothing that could make up for an awful patty.
