I came to order route 44 drinks which are always half price in the menu! I also always order waters with sugar free syrup. I'm doing liquid diet today and it's a great treat to stay hydrated and it's cheap! Service was quick and the order was correct! Order Ginger ale with coconut syrup.. crisp, cold and delicious! Blue raspberry with nerds: packed with nerds and a cheap treat. Water with mango sf syrup sooooooo cold and refreshing! read more

I ordered a regular burger combo. It tasted good. A little burnt on the edges but still good. Love the fries. Alejandro good service

Well 1st off the order was missing tater tots and my wife's burger had onion and tomato which she had specifically requested through the mobile app. Anyhow, with these hiccups I'd like to thank Alejandro for making it right! Yes it was inconvenient but we were very pleased on how Alejandro handled the situation and the level of professionalism he displayed was uncanning. Thank you! read more

Terrible service. Takes extremely long even if you're ordering one item. Always full of staff, but they sit around and talk doing nothing.

Alright but take a little long Servers are understanding and they're nice Orders are wrong sometimes read more

I felt like I wrote a review for this Sonic already a few years ago but here we go again. In 2017, I use to work in Madera. Theres not much to do in an hour in Madera so the options are limited especially during the summer months. So, Sonic was like my go to spot. I just want something to cool me off and take up some time. I'm too far to go home for lunch (Fresno at the time) and too hot to pretty do anything outside so why not waste an 30 minutes at Sonic and by the time I would come back to the office it would be time to go back to work so it was like a win win. So I would just come to Sonic a few times a week. I would frequent this location alot so I was able to try out so many Slushies. Over the years I narrowed it down to my favorite. Medium Cranberry Slush with fresh lemon. Not too sweet and fresh tasting it hit the spot on those hot sunny days. They would have deals going on at certain hours like happy hour would start so I would try to take a late lunch so I can get half off on my slushie and the lines would long so I would try to beat the rush. The good days. Presently, I haven't been to this location in years since I don't work in the area anymore but they never failed to disappoint at all. Staff was always friendly and quick back then. I really don't eat the food here but a milk shake is delightful every now and then. Still enjoy a sonic slushie from time to time. read more

The double cheeseburger was good as normal, but the chicken strips were all ripped in half and chewy. Couldnt even eat them.

Worst hot dog I've ever had! Went for a shake and thought I'd get a hot dog and fries as well. One thing about this place is everything is cold. So if you like ice dogs this your spot! Doesn't take long to heat a wiener. read more

Wow sonic really come on the fou fast food restaurants we have and can't even cook the tost right read more

It's a fast food place with better than average fast food, and friendly service. Not much to say aside from that. We pulled to a car hop space and ordered, the food came out correct and timely. The young lady who helped us was very nice. We don't have sonic where I come from, so it was a very good treat! read more

While trying to place my order the person taking kept putting the wrong food on it. We ordered a super sonic hamburger with no cheese, tater tots with no salt, bacon toaster hamburger and a espresso classic shake. The super sonic had cheese on it, tater tots had salt on them and the toaster had white onions on it (its only suppose to have onion ring on it). We were not going to make a big deal about it and reordered a toaster hamburger and tell them no onions. They rest we ate, while eating the tater tots and got down to bottom there was a black hair in them. We showed the car hop. She took a picture and sent it to the manager and said she will be out. Told her to cancel the remake order we lost our appetite. After 10mins and no show of manager we just left. read more

Customer service is awful I literally never review anywhere but someone needs to tell the teens who work here that there's a difference between neutrality and just being moody and rude. It's such gross behavior. No ones asking you to smile and make conversation but damn, who hurt you? Cuz It wasn't me. I'm a teacher and deal with enough eye rolls from the youth. I don't really expect or care for enthusiastic greetings but receiving a scathing attitude because I order food or a drink at a place that (surprise) serves food and drinks is just such weirdo behavior. If the working conditions are that awful, that you seem to be channeling the attitude of a Victorian orphan, perhaps a change of scenery may be your thing. There are other customer service places hiring. Yikes. Never going back. read more

The service sucks and is super slow. The food comes out cold and drink comes out water down if not melted if it is a milkshake. And the locations is a bit sketchy. read more

I'm thankful that Madera has a Sonic restaurant which is a good business for our community. They have great Cheese Burgers, fries and VaMilk shakes, lots of drinks and Hotdogs!! read more

I came to this specific location with a very big group and the workers seemed to be a little overwhelmed with the big rush. I was listening to my friends ordering and one worker couldn't hear the name after 5 times of repeating her name. When the worker finally heard, she gave my friend attitude and completed the order. They were pretty quick with giving us our food and announcing our orders. I ordered a chocolate chip cookie dough shake, and when I got my shake there weren't any cookie dough bites in my shake. I asked politely and the worker nicely came out and took my shake and added cookie dough bites. Also, my friend asked for a water cup and got charged, but at a different table my other friend said he was not charged when he asked for water. read more

Sonics has never been the best place for good service, so I don't expect much every time I'm here. I came here with a big group of people, about 20. It didn't help that one of their order intercom's were out of order, so the whole ordering process took much longer than it should have. Also, the credit card part at the bottom of the machine didn't work. So those that needed to pay with card had to pay after. One good thing is that even though ordering took a while, it seemed like everyone's food came out in a timely manner. As far as the food, their drinks/shakes & tots will always be the highlight for me at any Sonics. The bathrooms were also kinda gross, it just seemed like everything was wet: seat covers, toilet paper, etc. One weird thing at this Sonics, is that some people in my group asked for water, and some were charged for it, while some got it for free. First of all, I feel like the water should be for FREE, but if you're gonna charge, you should charge everyone, not just some. read more

Sonic Drive-In Madera, CA.......Horrible! Food tasted Old, dry, stale. For $22, two meals, I thought it would at least be edible. Crispy Chicken sandwich was dry and hard. Burgers were lukewarm. NOT HOT. Did not resemble the picture. It has been two years since I have eaten Sonic. Not gonna do it again. read more

Why don't they have a restroom for paying customers??? How are you going to feed and water people and not have restrooms??? Hello!

Zero stars if they had the option. The service is terrible.. wait times are ridiculously long for them to end up with your order wrong anyways. ‍ read more

Worse Sonic I have ever been to. It was dirty, tables sticky, restroom closed and out of onion rings at 11:45 AM like Starbucks out of coffee. Management needs to change! Poor management. read more

Its was awful . Got cold fries and onion rings . Patty melt had to much mustard my dog wouldn't even eat it . Never going bk.

I usually don't do this but this place has been going down hill. I don't mind the wait if the food is good like it use to be. Garbage everywhere, foul tasting burger,Luke warm fries and ice cold hotdog. Done with Madera Sonic!! read more

They never fail at making the Caramel Java Chiller how it is supposed to be! They should train the employees at the Gilroy location.

These guys leave you waiting at the speaker for 10 minutes and then take your order and ask you repetitive questions and still manage to mess it up read more

Wow this place has really gone down hill, 8:00pm on a Wednesday with only 1 other car parked, It took 30 minute wait in total just to get 3 shakes, 2 medium popcorn chicken, and a kids meal. half the owas wrong when the brought it to us the 1st time. and they never got my Oreo cheesecake milkshake right, no Oreos in it and it tasted like freezer burn, I don't think I will be returning anytime soon read more

Just bought 2 banana shakes for me & my daughter on Monday. while driving home I felt something WIERD in my mouth kinda hard & soft, so I spit it out on a napkin it was the bottom portion of the banana, ok fine but then when I arrived home I got another but this time it was super soggy then another to the point it made me gag! So I got a clear glass and poured the shake out ~ OH MY!!! What I saw was very disgusting lots of black stuff in my shake my daughter got disgusted and did the same and her shake had it too! So we through them away. Not sure what it was probably they don't clean the machines or they use rotten bananas. We Will never go back to Sonic!! Hope this doesn't happen to you. read more

I stop in at least once a month, and its hit or miss. last visit the bread was very dry. Staff is hit or miss s well, some nail the order some not so much. Price wise its good. Its very sad to me to see that they dont wear skates any more, that was the charm of going here. read more

This place sucks. Wanted to order and they were in there and didn't take my order at 7 pm. Like 3-4 workers. Horrible place every time I go it's long wait and they are so rude. Shit this place down. read more

Came here in the late afternoon, on the way home from a long trip, to an empty location with a group of people. I, being one of the last to order, saw many inconsistencies with the service. Many of us were given a little sass when ordering. Which can be excused by the amount of us there was, but with multiple people taking orders it just seemed like they were upset with us for being there. I ordered a large soda and a medium fry. The food for all of us came out quickly. But when my fries came, they were very cold. It tasted lIke they were stale, not fresh and like they had been sitting for an hour. I was a little confused because since I was one of the last to order, you'd think that they would have had to make more fries.. fresh fries. Sadly that wasn't the case. I'm not the biggest Sonics fan, but this solidified that for me. How could you get fries wrong? Many of us there had inconsistencies with our orders and felt like everything could have been better. I also used the restroom before we left which didn't have any paper towels. With these places I don't expect the restrooms to be perfect, but at least have something to wipe our hands with. Disappointed with the service and the food. Maybe other locations would be better. read more

Tried to order. Said my order 3 times kept being to to hold on after being asked for order so I left. Maybe their speakers were broken like other reviews say for several years. read more

This is pretty much for all locations in Fresno and Madera. The burgers are okay, the wait is super long and they almost always get the order wrong, you can bet on that! If you ask for no veggies you will get extra veggies and jalapeños too! If you ask for extra veggies then you will get none. Sometimes I get a random chicken sandwich instead of the beef and bacon burger I ordered. Regular orders or special orders is always a gamble, but my lady likes the milkshakes and one gets tired of McDonald's all the time. This place had so much potential. read more

Sonic is by far one of my favorite fast-food joints. Their burgers and fries are really good. I am a fries and ice cream shakes type of girl and I always try to try other fries that they have. My favorite ones so far are their chili cheese fries, it's the right amount of chili and cheese. Soo good. But if you're wanting to try salty and sweet, I would go with their normal fries and then their peanut butter shakes. It's really good. What I love about sonic is that the waiters come out with roller-skates and they serve the food to you. read more

Super disappointed it was not near closing time and they had several cars in line and right when it was our turn to order they tell us they are closed. Maybe they should have had the lights off to let everyone know for a heads up. read more

Wow! They are out of bottled water, and then charged me 0.22 cents for water out of the filter! I can't believe it!

I wish there was an option to give a negative number of stars because that's the rating I would give. I guess an order of tator-tots takes over forty minutes to get, as that's how long I waited in my car before finally giving up on getting them and just leaving. What a waste of time. Sonic is awesome, but this particular location clrarly needs help. read more
