Located on Jefferson & Northgate near the 10 FWY. We used the drive-thru for a to-go meal. The food was handed to us in an open container, so my sister asked for a lid since we were eating later. Stephanie treated this request with extreme rudeness, as if we were asking for a free item. When we asked for her name, she glared, aggressively snatched the lid back off our food, handed the meal to a coworker, and walked away. While I understand everyone has bad days, paying customers should not be treated with such hostility for a basic request. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable for frontline staff. The food was good and the location is convenient with inside seating, but we will never return based on our experience here. read more

We stopped for a slushy and fries. WHOOAAAA!!! What a surprise! The Blue coconut cream slush was aaaaamazing. The creamy slushy was definitely a pleasant surprise. Never had a slushy that was creamy. Yumm. The Raja slushy ordered by my grandson did not disappoint. Loved the very refreshing taste with the Nerds inside. THE FRIES!!!! BIIIGGG hit! My grandson is an expert fries taster. He practically melted in the seat of the car from enjoying it so much. The krinkle cut fries were crispy crunchy on the outside and softy and fluffy on the inside, piping hot! We're going back. Don't understand why there aren't more customers with the large variety of drinks. We are no longer missing out anymore. read more

Went to Sonic in on Jefferson in Indio today, ordered a Coney dog & large Diet Coke they threw in a large order of onion rings, free, and the cost during their happy hour was considerable, great great service, cashier was very personal and the manager was great read more

This location has always been my favorite & it will always continue to be. Mainly because of the staff. They're friendly & patient. I had an issue with an order & called & spoke with Adrian & he handled the situation very well & I appreciated his genuine care with the situation. I also had interacted with two other staff members that were also very friendly. Every time I come to this location the staff are just nice. I like that. Also, Sonic is sooooo slept on! & for those complaining about the prices , download the app! There's always great deals going on. Anyways huge thank you to Adrian & all the staff at this particular location, I will always continue to come here when I need my Sonic fix :) read more

The burgers here are incredibly delicious and juicy, and orders take about 5-10 minutes. I don't know why the place has a one-star rating.

too many items on the menu......big menu equals big problems Sonic could take a lesson from In-N-Out The staff is confused, add inadequate training to the big menu This place will not make it. Jimmy from Indio read more

They refused to serve me an hour before closing! They even saw me and my family and ignored us which made me really mad so I recommended not going to this Sonic read more

I paid 21.17 for hair in my burger I had eaten 2 jalapenos and taken 2 bites of my burger and found a hair I was next door getting gas so only one car had come through the drive thru they kept trying to get me to let them remake my order but I'm not trusting them twice who wants a fur burger the guy with the tattoos asked where the 2 jalapenos were I said I ate them this man preceded to hand me 15 dollars 6 dollars less than a paid when I gave him everything back including the drink because I ate 2 jalapenos before biting the burger smh I will never come back here he had an attitude and was very unclean and unprofessional also the jalapenos had a freezer burnt tast stay away unless you like old freezer burnt hair filled food read more

My first experience with Sonic? Mid 1990's. Food was awful. Never returned. Now 2026 I get a coupon for a SMASHBURGER BOGO and free tater tot's, $1.49 Coney Chili Dog and a Jr. Double cheeseburger for $1.99 so we order it all online as directed. Tater tots were like little chunks of ceiling tiles that were thrown in a deep fryer and had no taste... Just nasty. The junior cheeseburger patty snapped when I bit into it like it was a veggie wafer that was freeze dried. The Smashburger was better but below average at best... Until I smell the ocean... It smelled like LA Harbor at low tide...so I sniffed the burger where I had bitten into it. It smelled like fish!!! Everyone I was with through all their food back in the bag after a few bites and said "screw this!" I mean from 1994 until 2025 is 31 years . THIRTY ONE YEARS and the food is STILL AWFUL??? You couldn't get it right after 32 years??? The only thing I ever liked there was the raspberry limeade anyway. Never again...ugh! read more

Horrible! Mobile ordered and get there for them to tell me they are out of multiple items. Then they take 20 minutes to try and figure out how to refund you. Sad thing this isn't the first or second time. My stupidity is going back and hoping things have improved!!!! read more

If you want moldy food this is the place for you. Will not be returning to this location or any Sonic location at all. If they are serving molding, I'm not sure how they manage freshness etc read more

This Sonics is located in the desert. It was about 113 degrees outside, so sitting in the car like you would normally do at this place was not favorable. Therefore, we opted to sit inside (the first I've ever seen). There were three flat screen televisions, booths, and tables with chairs. It was clean, spacious, and the air conditioning was nice. Service: The service I side was fast and nice. They had a new drink with bubble bursts and I was able to try it before I bought it yo see if I liked it. Also, when our food was ready, they brought it out to our table. Food: The food is good, but not the best. read more

dude let me tell you, food took like 20 minutes in the drive thru with nobody in line. buddy they gave me my drink before my food and i finished my drink before i even got my food. and thats not even the worst part... i missed my little brothers baseball game because it took so long. first of all fast food should be fast. secondly it should be faster if the name of your establishment is called sonic as in supersonic... sonic thee hedgehog etc... goodness gracious man o man words can't even describe read more

I'd give it a zero if I could. Slowest drive thru service that I have ever experienced. I had repeat my order 3 times, and they still got it wrong. The car in front of us left after waiting for their order and never received their order. Cars behind us backed up and departed without picking up their order. This place is a joke. read more

Thanks Danna for the great drive-thru experience! That Cherry Limeade was delicious! The drive thru was quick and also close to the 10 freeway for easy access. I was driving from La Quinta and needed a quick bite on my drive home to LA. read more

What kind of sonic doesn't let you customize your dessert? I can do it on the app but apparently not through the drive thru... I tried ordering a hot fudge sundae add banana and they said no they don't do that. I would have mobile ordered but that wasn't available. Avoid this sonic if you want to customize your desserts! read more

I have been to a LOT of Sonic's in my day, all over the country. But this one is not like the rest. When we went through the drive through, the man working the window went above and beyond. I do not know if he was the Manager, but he truly cared for the customer, the food, and the brand! This was the best experience and burgers we have had. Thank you so much! These are the kinds of people I like doing business with! read more

The food was hot and just perfect the way I ordered it. The service was top notch and props to the manager for being so helpful. The best sonic in the valley! Thanks guys! read more

Marcelo is awesome there! He is so friendly and professional and makes it really enjoyable to eat there. The food is almost always great coming out of the kitchen and only once was I unsatisfied. I wasn't quite happy with the food quality as it was not seeming as fresh as I normally get. I let him know and he was so apologetic and willing to make it right. I was already ok as i know it cannot always be great but he made us feel super important and took care of us. Thank you Marcelo! read more

So slow! The drive through is so slow. On average I wait 30 minutes for food/drinks. Most of the parking spots where you can order are out of order so it forces everyone to drive through. Food is okay and the drinks are amazing so 2 stars! read more

We haven't been to a Sonic Drive-In for a long time because there's no Sonic Drive-In in the L.A. area. That's why when we travel and we see Sonic Drive-in outside of L.A.. We enjoy the food very much especially their Chicago Dog remind me they are delicious. We enjoy their drink and their new items. read more

$8.00 for a medium shake. Nothing fancy, just a medium strawberry shake. And it was poorly made. They need to add some $$ to the sonic name!! read more

Great place to eat, very clean and the owner was super friendly. I would definitely come to this place again.

New Sonic trick or treat and rechargers! Chocolate or vanilla blast trick or treat with m&ms, oreo and heath!

I love Sonics, but this one is lacking management or something. 1. Pulled up to drive through and no one answered. I assumed they were closed. As I drove to get out of drive through, there was staff inside; so I asked if they were open. They were open, just nobody answered drive through speaker. I had to circle back around to order. 2. I ordered an M&M blast with extra M&M's. I received item and all the M&M's were on top of ice cream. I asked if the item was blended and they said yes, they just put extra M&M's on top. I got home and the blast was not blended. Very sad. If I wanted a crappy vanilla ice cream and M&M dessert,, I'd go to McDonalds and order a McFlurry! (See photo) The positive of this review is my Chicken Toast sandwich was delicious!!!! read more

Fast food is fast food but it's the workers that make fast food restaurants stand out from other fast food places. Just because Adrian from the drive-through went above and beyond by calling my name (saw it on my CC), repeating my order before charging me and repeating my order before giving it to me was an amazing worker. Just because of him I would go back. read more

Not only is the drive thru line a long wait (lady asked for a minute to take our order then didn't talk for the next 10 minutes) but food came with no sauces or asking if we wanted any which is crazy when you get chicken nuggets. read more

Awful service, very clearly a major management issue at this location. Sat at a stall for 5 minutes, another car pulled up next to us and was helped first. I will not be back. 10 minutes later still no help. Leaving without food. read more

Adrian was amazing very friendly and kind happy to be working !! made our experience so amazing. I will definitely go back because of him!!

We just stopped by for lunch while at work. Online it says they open at 8am. We were standing by the door trying to open it and there was people inside just looking at us, instead of coming by like "hey we're still closed" or "drive thru is open". Whatever the case maybe, they just ignored us as we stood by the door and knocked. I hope they update their hours online and at the store with correct ones, so no one encounters this and some better customer service. read more

OMG! I thought I was going to write a terrible review that may get the attention of Sonic Management but, lo and behold, the reviews of this place are already so bad that I am guessing management simply does not care. We stopped on a drive back to LA from Arizona hoping to take a quick break and get back on the road. We ordered through the red button, nothing extreme, 2 burger meals, some onion rings, fried pickles and tots. While waiting, we placed another order for some shakes. The shakes came out pretty quicky. 25 min later we got the fried things, but no burgers. I started to ask what's going on at this point and was told that they are doing the best they can. Finally received the burgers 40 minuets after ordering. 40 minuets!! At the time there was 1 customer, already eating in the store and two other cars ahead of us. They were not busy at all. The burgers were barely put together, no melted cheese or anything. I wanted to go into complain but once we received the order, we just got back on the 10. To make this worse, I called Sonic Corporate and was told that the store manager would reach out to me. They never did. This appears to be a company that does not care about customers from the store employees all the way up to corporate management. read more

Once again this Sonic is a disappointing stop for a quick drink. I understand taking longer to get my order because it is drive-thru and stall pickup. The long line is fine with me as well during these hot night that a nice cold drink will hit the spot once I get it. What really feels like a disappointment is the inability to order from the app. I am a real cheap spender at heart and wanted my 50% off the slushies from ordering ahead. I told the cashier that it wasn't working and was told it's doesn't matter. Full price is fine when the discount is not offered at every other store in the vicinity. I don't know what the problem is, but this store is always slow with most orderers taking a while to fulfill. read more
