I love the friendly cashier working the window and sonic. She makes every trip special and says hi to my kids. I love the text message specials like $1.49 Mozzarella sticks today. Drinks are always fresh and the variety and choices astound me. I love the new strawberry horchata being offered right now. Fantastic! Parking lot is always clean and seating area in front as well. I love that they stay open late. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - INDEPENDENCE, Missouri

Going through the drive-through waited on my food for 10 minutes The store looked fully staffed at least six people working Completely ignored me at the drive-through But of course we're quick to take my money I've noticed this problem in most sonic's recently I usually get fast food once a week and unfortunately sonic is not on my list any longer read more

My Server was James, I was there around 10PM give or take. Bro said my bad for being a lil slow but im a patient dude so it didnt bother me any. After I ordered it really didnt take long. All I was after was some fresh food and thats what I got. James you a G. read more

Hit or Miss Location, usually Miss. Extremely poor management, always under staffed. 1 out of 3 cars just leave the drive through. Once I went and there was only 1 person working there, which is impossible for them to expedite any orders. If you can patiently wait 15 to 25 minutes wait time the food will be fresh, Parking Lot has more pot holes then Missouri roads Independence Sonic can do better and I recommend driving to another place. read more

Worst Sonic in the area. Go anywhere else. Employees are rude and seem to be very easily confused. I am a person who is always kind even if service is bad... and had some teen girl screaming at me through the intercom because I asked if anyone was there after sitting for over 5 minutes. Service is always slow even when they are not busy. read more

OMG I knew this Sonic has problems but thought they could maybe handle a order of one chili cheese coney with onions. That was my order. The girl asked "you just want onions on it". I repeated "A chili cheese coney with onions, she said okay. Go through the line, pay and get the bag. Get home and I got a hot dog with onions on it no chili no cheese. Unbelievable the hot dog was fine but not a chili cheese coney. What do ya do. It's laughable. read more

*scene* I pull up to the drive through. Get to the mic right away. Wait 2 minutes before even being spoke too. Ask for a supersonic breakfast burrito meal, small pause, with a medium tater tot with cheese, another small pause, and a large cherry limeade. Gets told "hold on" waits for a bit Aggressively, would you like sausage or bacon? Confused because the supersonic breakfast burrito doesn't have that option I ask for "what the supersonic breakfast burrito normally comes with". Gets TOLD with a big side of attitude "its either bacon or sausage". Picks sausage because thats what it comes with. Gets order read back, Sausage egg and cheese burrito, medium cheese tot and a large cherry limeade. Stunned by the wrong order after already saying not once but twice what I had wanted. I asked for a supersonic breakfast burrito. Do you want the premium burrito? I want the supersonic breakfast burrito. Its called the premium burrito. I wanted the supersonic breakfast burrito which is a premium burrito sonic offers. But they also offer another premium burrito which is why I specifically said supersonic breakfast burrito. I don't care if the teen working the mic is having the worst day of his life. The attitude is so very unprofessional and unnecessary. Ive worked my way up through the service industry and have been a manager at a theater chain. I know how customers can be rude sometimes. Sometimes they are wrong. But you have to pick and choose your battles and arguing with the guy who is simply asking for a menu item is not the guy you should be arguing with. read more

Our poor little Sonic. This spot is the slowest of all Sonics. They also seem to get confused easy. The workers are really nice and I can tell they really are trying, but bless their heart. It seems this place hires a lot of people who have struggled in life and this job is maxing out their skills. The food is still Sonic food. Same stuff you find everywhere, but I'm saddened to see the menu getting smaller every time I go. Bring back the Country fried steak toaster sandwich, the island fire burger, the cheesecake bites, garlic parmesan wings, and go back to the big thick footlong beef dogs instead of the skinny things you use now. read more

Zero customers waiting yet my food took a very long time. Over charged and tried to tell them but all they offered were some tokens. The fries here are never full to the top. Another thing I was over charged for. The employees act like they have no idea what's going on. The guy kept getting my total wrong, the lady got rude when I told her I was over charged, and then he couldn't read me back my order when at my car. If I ever go back I will be sure to make sure everything is to my liking no matter what. Do better. read more

I don't like to eat in my car, so I would not typically choose to go to a Sonic. With the Covid19 pandemic, however, this is as close to eating out as we can find. First time there, I had some sort of burger with green chili's and it was fantastic. I've ordered same thing twice since then and have been disappointed. Not horrible, just not great with an exclamation point! Wife-unit and I have learned to take aprons with us, the food seems to be very messy and I always end up wearing some of it home. I have been getting the double burger meal with onion rings. Sometimes they do not have the onion rings, but they are pretty good when in stock. They always seem to forget something, last time it was the napkins, usually it is the ketchup packets. First couple of times they didn't bring lots of ketchup packets and we had to summon them for more. So one time they brought our meal and the bag was literally half full of ketchup packets. We used all in subsequent fast food trips, so none were wasted. read more

When I was ordering my food the drive through lady couldn't hear me and I could barley hear her and I ordered a large fri don't know how many times I had to repeat my self and they still didn't get it right. So my time was not that good read more

Employees were kind and quick... My kids love to see the ones on skates very talented

If I had the ability to give them a zero I would . It began with the person taking the order being very rude. Gave me the impression I was bothering him . Then ultimately got the order wrong . The person who handed me my food didn't wait till I had to grip on it and it ended up on the ground at least part of it . Food was remade handed to me but my mozzarella sticks were missing which was the only reason and I emphasize only reason I went there . Try to explain that the two for seven was supposed to be a burger and mozzarella sticks the person kept saying I didn't take your order . Tried to explain the order was incorrect we were overcharged and I still didn't get mozzarella sticks . She suggested I order them and pay an additional $5 . When I said that wasn't happening she told me to take my attitude somewhere else . I was never rude all I tried to do was explain but her come back each time was I didn't take your order . Corporate was contacted and all they could suggest was we'll give you a coupon for a fremontzarella sticks with your order of more food . Sonic will no longer be on my list of places to eat I'll find mozzarella sticks somewhere else . Worst management ever worst customer service ever read more

This sonic sucks. The food is never fresh and the Dr Pepper is always terrible. Every single time I come to this Sonic. We waited 10 minutes for our food ( 1 frie, 1 mozz stick, and 3 fried Oreos) and none of it was fresh. It's prime dinner time too. So i don't understand why. The only reason i come to this one is cause it's close to my house. read more

The food was good, my order was correct. Problem was a bunch of people playing around ... on guy standing back, he may have been new looking at the girls like they were crazy. Young, yes.. lack of management possibly 18 minutes to get my food. I'm ok with that had there been an apology, or someone had bothered to open the window and say sorry were working I making your order fresh it will be a few minutes ... the kids had drank all their juice box before we made it out of the drive thru... all in all food was ok ... customer service skills lacking ... read more

This location is overall reliable but if you do mobile orders they begin to get very inattentive and don't add the little stuff you ask like sauce packets such as ketchup or mustard. read more

Sonic is good, but this one has always suffered from poor management and lackluster employees. After getting four separate orders incorrect, we've given up and gone elsewhere. If they were screwing up special orders, sure, I can understand a mistake every once in a while, but these were simply stupid mistakes - Dr. Pepper in a cup that was supposed to be Diet Coke, missing items, etc. It all comes from management, and the manager of this Sonic leaves much to be desired. I would almost go to McDonald's instead...but only if I were starving to death and they were giving away free food. read more

This Sonic is alright. It's most definitely better than the one near me! My food was served hot and fresh with the correct drink. My only complaint about this and every Sonic is the wait. Sometimes the wait is so long people just pull out of the drive thru. I understand that employees didn't have a choice about them getting a drive thru, but Sonic was better when it was car hop only service. read more

I don't usually review chain places because everyone has been to Sonic and knows all about the food and what to expect. But I really believe that great service should be recognized, and the vast majority of the people working here are just rock stars. They are so professional and courteous that I sometimes forget that I'm eating fast food in my car. In the interest of full disclosure, I once had a drink spilled on me here, and the girl's first reaction was to swear, but otherwise I've never left Sonic anything other than pleased. There aren't too many meatless options but a grilled cheese and tots is plenty of food for me and it costs only a few dollars. read more

Avoid this location and if you choose to ignore the warning make sure you double check your order. Every time I go there something is wrong with my order ranging from missing items to wrong items. Like another reviewer I also had a large drink spilt on me inside my car, was offered a handful of napkins an not even a replacement drink. This was the last straw. I almost forgot to mention the terrible wait you experience only at this location. You can easily wait twenty minutes with a few cars ahead of you. read more

Whatever you do, don't go to this particular sonic. The order I got was not what I asked for. The employment is not good at all either.

One of the poorer locations in the area. The food usually tastes fine, but don't expect your order to ever be correct. Items are frequently missing or not made with the changes requested. I've even had items not made as described on the menu. Plus expect double the average time compared to other locations to get your food. read more

If I could have given a lower review I would have! They messed up our order causing me to miss dinner with my kids and have to drive all the way back wasting my gas and my time to fix their mistake! Which was rediculous by the way because instead of making what we ordered they threw two things in a box and called it a day! It was missing the other 3 key ingredients that make it what it is! While I was there I ordered a little $4 hamburger. I had already told the gentleman at the box that they needed to do something to fix this because 1) I missed dinner with my kids over this 2) I wasted my gas and time coming all the way back just to once again have to wait for 20 minutes at the window (once we got that far) for them to fix the mistake. 3)They didn't even make a new one! After 40 minutes later! They just slapped on all the missing ingredients on the cold hard food I handed back to them and handed it back to me! 4) and all the while this stupidity is still happening my food at home is getting cold so a cold dinner is what I have to look forward to! The guy at the window then tells me regardless of my ordeal because of them, best case scenario is they will take $2 off of my hamburger! What! You should have comped it! Actually you should have comped and fixed the original mess up which was way more expensive than that little burger! It was a slap in the face! After all the inconvenience I listed above, then them slapping missing ingredients on cold hard food from 40 minutes prior refusing to even make a fresh one correctly, then telling me I owe almost $3 for their stupid burger while waiting! I've never been so upset. Thank you Sonic for showing me that you don't give a shit about me! Not as a person and definately not as a customer. It's fine. I got your message LOUD AND CLEAR! The manager on duty Drake was ok with the rediculous $2 discount. It was fun watching everyone thinking it was funny while you all knew I was upset. We spend a crazy amount at sonic as everyone likes the food, however I'll be finding another resteraunt now that has customer service and pays attention to their clients and that's where my money will go! Seeing I'm not returning to this Sonic let me just tell you... I hope you all get better training on how to pay attention and multi task to prepare people's food correctly and in a timely manner, the management needs to stop acting like children and actually try to understand your clients and accept responsibility and fix your mistakes... Just not in a condescending way that causes you what used to be loyal customers, and finally, for the regular employees who found the situation comical behind the glass knowing I was upset who's jobs rely on tips to get by... I hope you all get stiffed and step on Legos! read more
