A sonic is a sonic. You only remember the bad experiences however I'll tell you my good experience. The half price hand mixed shakes after 8 p.m. are awesome I have tried the peanut butter fudge shake which was way good and I have tried the banana cream pie shake which read way way way way good and the cheese cake shake is to absolutely die for! I mean it. The service at this particular sonic is very fast and always smiles and friendly service. Try the hand mixed shakes after 8-p.m.they are half price so that equals by one get one so bring your sweetie pie and enjoy done sugar kisses together! read more

Sonic Drive-In - The employee entrance - Burgers Near Me - Madison, Alabama

We pulled into the lot and pressed the button to order. We had waited 10 minutes before they told us to go through the drive through. We have waited in the drive through for about 30 minutes before we were asked to order. There are not that many people here trying to order. It looks like they are way understaffed. Only about 3 people in there. Food was fine though. Just a LONG wait. read more

This place is the most unprofessional sonic I have ever seen. I have given this place a few chances thinking they were having an off day or something, but they just flat out suck! My order is never right if I order at plast the is only candy on the top. Not to mention I have to wait 20 mins for ice cream and a soda! I won't be back to this place! read more

I sat for about 5 minutes waiting for them to take my order, when I finally saw a carhop I asked her what was going on and she simply said "it's broken." I asked should I move and she said "yeah go to another one or the drive thru I guess" and walked off. I moved to another stall and waited another 25 minutes, having pressed the button and it timing out twice, until I finally just left. For someone who is only on a lunch break I would suggest going literally anywhere else. read more

Please update hours if you are closing early on a regular basis at 11. Especially since Sonic is advertised as open till midnight or later. Thanks read more

We ordered a Lemon Gelato, and a Chocolate Blast. Our order was taken very promptly. The gelato was very good. The blast was average. Our card reader didn't work, so I paid cash. Our server was efficient, and had change. We'll be back to try their half price shakes after 8 pm. read more

Even before Covid the service was subpar. Drive thru waited 10 min before just pulling into a stall. Waited another 8 min to order food. There's a good chance that as you're reading this, I'm still waiting on the two slushees.... understaffed and probably under-managed. read more

Worst fast food restaurant in Madison. Super slow, my order has been wrong last 5 times, and the food isn't all that great. If you want some good sonic go to the county line road location. There, they are fast, friendly, and accurate! It's worth going out of the way!!!! read more

It's bad food order is never right... the wait is long the hours are different all the time.... Place needs a better manager or just close... read more

This is the worst sonic around. So slow and they're always on their phones. take forever and their customer service sucks.

On Wednesday 4/11, I attempted to order a #5 BLT at the pull up around 2000. The employee continued to ask me "what to drink?" I wanted extra bacon and to add cheese. I repeated this several times and the employee continued on and on and on asking "what to drink" but all I wanted was for her verify she heard my request. It was so awkward and rude. I waited 10 minutes while looking into the building watching employees giggle and laugh. Finally my food arrived and OF COURSE I sent it back ‍. I asked the runner who was the individual that took my order. She was clueless . After a long day in the office I just wanted a slush and some food. Rude, very rude. Did not expect that. read more

Great service although could've been speedier. The food has improved as well as the service in the last couple of month. Keep up the good work. read more

Waited in line for 10 min and didn't take order. People left because they only took certain people. Waist of time....

I ordered ONE milkshake. just ONE. I then asked for a cup of ice water because i was thirsty from waiting so long. 30 Minutes passed by (I was counting), Finally got my milkshake, I was with a friend, he gave me one straw and told us to share cause he thought we were "dating" He didn't even get my Water order right, he came out with a cup of ICE and that was it. No water. Since when did it take 30 minutes to make a cup of ice water and a milkshake? I'm usually easy going but wasting time is my biggest pet peeve. I suggest taking your business somewhere else. read more

This place is excellent if you like cold food and rude people giving you cold food. They also mess up the "signature" drinks, which is a plus if you have amnesia and forgot what you ordered. read more

Amazingly slow, rude and indifferent to customers. I ended up just getting my money back and leaving. Do yourself a favor and don't even go. I would give zero stars if possible. read more

This Sonic NEVER has onion rings. I moved to the area a few months ago, and i have visited this Sonics at least 5 times in the past couple of months and I always order onion rings and I have never been able to get them here. Today was the last time, I drove to the location on county line and was able to receive your onion rings with great service. read more

Terrible service . Slow as I ever seen. Food was mediocre. They must have had 6 people I could see working but it took me asking two workers who came outside to get to answer the call to order food. Must have only had 3 cars parked and 1 in drive through. Terrible management and operations I'd give them 0 stars if I could for service read more

I know it COVID and everyone is slammed with very little employees, but I'm very disappointed in this Sonic. Many many times they have gotten my order wrong or it's very lazily halfway done. And not a single person in drive thru was wearing a mask today or gloves. I work In fast food, I get it it's uncomfortable. But it's about the customers, not how comfy you are. read more

I ordered 2 corn dogs around 2pm in the afternoon and this is what I got . I'm so mad I didn't look at my food before I got home . Will not be going back ! read more

I haven't been to a sonic in years but my family went to the one on county line last week and we were so impressed that I went to this one today, it being closer. They have a sign saying hiring managers.... they need them badly. I ordered two mini m&m blasts and they were basically cups FULL of m&m's and barely any ice cream. I never imagined complaining of this but I have a four year old and I'm breast feeding. My kids can't eat this many m&ms!!! I let my son take a couple of bites and then I told him I was sorry but we had to throw them away and I'd buy him ice cream from the grocery store. This was also after a near 20 min wait with only one car in front of us and no one knowing what my order was. read more

They drinks seem to taste old/ dirty. Food is worse. Also has a funny taste. I would not recommend this place unless you were and ice from starvation. Okay staff earns a 2 star. read more

They consistently get orders wrong. They refuse to accept responsibility for their wrong doing and actually had the nerve to say that they quit serving an item that is listed on their menu two years ago. I will NEVER go back to this location. The orders are wrong, the burgers are cold, the customer service is wretched...I have not had problems with the location on Hey 72...so I'd recommend you drive across Madison if you want a quality experience. The Sullivan Street location is a pathetic excuse for a restaurant. Save yourself the headache and go ANY WHERE else. read more

Not only did they took 45 minutes to get my order they got it WRONG to add insult to injury worse Sonic by far they owe me a FREE Banana split Blast at least read more

The breakfast burrito was disgusting. soggy, messy, torn, tomatoes looked like it was eaten before, lemonade tasted worse than any other lemonade I tasted out of any sonic an when I asked for a milkshake, they told me that the machine was broke. A sonic with a broken milkshake machine???!!! Are they series? Isn't that sonic's legacy, i.e., milkshakes? read more

Pulled in to grab something quickly and was craving a shake. The ice cream machine was down so no shake. Ordered a junior burger and tots and a soda with light ice. Gave the server a $20, didn't have change so had to go back into the restaurant and came back with a stack of ones with the change laying on the top of the bills which then spilled all under the seat of my car. Really? Tots were soggy and the soda was a glass full of ice. How is that LITE ice? read more

Probably the worst Sonic I've been to. Customer service is Horrible. They really need a complete new set of employees & obviously a more organized manager. It was almost unbelievable read more

This is the closest one to me and they f%$# up 95% off the time. I'm not site they could get a small water right.drive to the one on mill Creek worth the drive if you want what you orderto be right. In fact once they got my order right here and it felt like I won the lotto.. check your food and the bill if you eat here read more

I usually don't write reviews but this was so bad and 2nd bad experience with them in a week I decided to post. Horrible experience. Came in at 330 pm on Saturday the 5th. Presses the button 3 times (stall 12) and never came. Button would time out and finally had to move to another stall. Placed my order. Guy taking order repeatedly got it wrong. Finally looked okay on the screen (seemed to get an attitude after I kept correcting him) and it still came out to the car wrong. The staff were busy messing around outside trying to kill a wasp nest. It took 5 of them to do it. I guess they were too busy laughing and cutting up outside trying to kill the wasp nest to cook. Order didn't take that long because they didn't cook the food. Hamburger was literally raw with pink center (see pic) and corn dog literally had batter oozing out (see pic). Plain cheeseburger with mustard only (shows that way on their ticket) came out as smashed fully loaded burger). Tots were burned with black spots on them. They also swapped out my fries for tots without asking (I guess partially my fault as I told them fries and the guy taking order put tots and I didn't catch it, but then again, why should I have to????), and gave me Ranch dressing (which I hate) rather than asking which sauce for the chicken poppers. Highly recommend going elsewhere. read more

Worst wait EVER on food! I've been there 3 times in the last wk and the first time I went they had me sit for 15mins waiting on a Cheeseburger & a large order of Tots w Cheese AFTER I had already sit there no telling how long before they took my order and every time after that, the wait was unreal as well. I get an hour lunch break and most of my time is spent in the parking lot. The food is good but I can't waste that much time waiting on my food.............I also meant to add that the first time I went, I pulled into a spot and when they took my order... it lights up and will let you know where your food is and the light lit up about 5mins in, that my food was on its way smh it was 10mins after that when I finally got my lunch. I love sonic but I won't be going back to this sonic. I can't drive that far to eat and it take them 30mins to make my food. They've made me late a few times bc I had already paid for my food so had to wait on it. There's no reason people should have to wait this long for FAST FOOD. read more

My wife and I waited in the drive through for about 10-15 minutes. When we finally got our food, it was cold...and it wasn't suppose to be. The only saving grace is that the employees are nice and were apologetic for the extended wait and refired our food. read more

Slooooooooooooow!!!!!!! Longest fast food wait time ever! I will never go to this sonic ever again.

yall motherfuckers cant get yalls shit together can you!!!! if yall are going to participate in a partnership with door dash then you need to get some help with fullfilling the orders that are out in place you have fucked up my order ever fucing time and this will be the last im sick of this shit read more

I have never had such poor service. I waited over 15 minutes for my food. The man working the drive thru told me he didn't have any napkins but when I went back around bc they had poked a hole in my drink and it was leaking, they had napkins. He was just too lazy to get me some. It seems I am not the only person to have a bad experience here read more

Horribly slow drive thru experience, not one but two cars in front of me pulled out and left due to the wait. The longest drive thru wait ever read more

Went to sonic tonight to grab some quick food after work. We pulled in and placed our order and it took them 35 minutes to bring our food out. I looked inside and the employees were just standing around. When I said something about our wait time to the lady she didn't even apologize. She went inside to get my change and it took her another 5 minutes to bring me change. We get home and the food was cold and soggy. I'll never go to that sonic again. Worst experience I've ever had at a food establishment read more

The absolute worst Sonic I have ever been to. I've now had three problems in as many weeks. Today was the last straw. 15 minutes after I placed my $7.91 order, I called in to ask about it. I was cut off with no explanation. I called in again and told them to refund my order and bring me the receipt. Miraculously my order appeared. I told the carhop that I wanted a refund as I had now been waiting 20 minutes. She got an attitude with me and told me I had one and then proceeded to get in a screaming match with me. The manager finally came out and gave me my receipt and told me she wanted to give me my food. No thanks. I will never be back and I highly recommend no one else goes either. read more

I had written this Sonic off once before as not worthy, but I was in a hurry and the Cricket (across the street) was closed. This visit just confirmed my earlier evaluation, YUCK! I will not go back. The card reader at my station did not work. The tater tots were cold and the delivery person brought no ketchup or salt, nor did she ask. The chicken sandwich was mediocre, almost cold, and the tomato was over-ripe last week. No straw for the drink topped off the visit. Piss poor food, and piss poor service. read more

Love this place. We get drinks here often and the staff is extremely friendly. We don't typically eat the food so I can't give an accurate rating on that. read more

Best experience I've ever had. They may have slow service, but what sonic doesn't? Carhop was amazingly nice, I had to tip him.
