I just left Sonic after placing an order. We called attention to the fact that we hadn't received our order after 30 minutes of waiting. We were met with an apology and "your order will be right out." After another 20 minutes passed and the new arrival of cars on both sides of us were receiving their order, we chimed in again only to be asked "what did you order?" "Oh my word!!!". By far the worst experience ever!!! Such a disappointment. Even though we really wanted the order and experience, we just sadly left. We ended up going to doghause instead. Got our order in 15 minutes! Yay! read more

Went yesterday and the order was perfect - delivered hot - and very tasty. We drive from Santa Clarita and we're very pleased with everything. read more

The Sonic commercial got me. The food always looked so good. Drove from Santa Clarita to Palmdale just to eat at Sonic. I got to say I was very disappointed. I order combo 1 and 3 Bacon cheeseburger with other stuff. The burgers and fries were cold. The meat was burned. I couldn't even eat it. I'm not sure if this is their product or someone in there was just having a bad day or didn't care about quality food. But it was bad. The only good thing was the shake. read more

Worst place to get food. Fast food no more like 40 min wait in line to get cold food. Flat soda cold nasty oil tasting fries. Not worth the wait. read more

Food was great, service was fast. They require masks at the drive thru window which I loved. However, The girl working the drive thru needs to be aware that the mask goes OVER the nose (even if you have a piercing). Great that it's required, hoping the staff uses them properly. read more

Really really sloooooooooow service and a filthy eating area! Tables and ground are all sticky with visible food particles! I know it's primarily a drive thru, but this is redonkulous! Food: it was okay...I've had much better at other locations. ***And no cherry in my cherry slush :( I'd try to ask for one but it takes them too long to get anything!! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Look how filthy the trash can and ground are...gross - Burgers Near Me - Palmdale, California

Usually just go for the mozzarella sticks, to me everything else in the menu is not worth going for honestly. Burgers are ok, not, good, not great, hot dogs items are ok, and everything else they have its average but the MOZZARELLA STICKS now that is bomb!!!....Area is clean, service is fast, customer service is good and the time you get your food honestly is good this certain day it was busy though but I've been there before and usually is fast. Recommend trying this location out. read more

Not surprised with the crappy review score. The management is incompetent and wouldn't fulfill my order because their Sonic app glitched and took out my money but didn't send them my order over the system they use even though I showed them my money was taken out of my account by sonic. They kepted telling me that I had to call corporate to get my money back because it has nothing to do with them but if I wanted to make a order I would have to pay again. read more

Today around 630pm, my combo was billed separately, my order was missing a straw, bbq sauce and a whole piece from my 6 piece order. Couldnt get an answer form the store phone to complain. As you can see from thr photo its super dry and I might as well have orderd chicken nuggets! Im not coming here again until they improve their quality! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Why do I keep coming here? - Burgers Near Me - Palmdale, California

Went to get onion rings because they usually have the best but omg this has happened more than once but figured it was just a fluke. I can't comprehend how a employee would package and then serve these to a paying customer.They had breading on maybe 5% of the onion, they were so drenched with grease when u picked them up they actually dripped amd they felt like wet noodles. Yummy!! I asked for the manager who was very nice but to make up for me driving back to get a refund, hands me a coupon for a free limeade that expired December 31st 2015...ummm. Time to retrain your employees read more

My hubs and I stopped by SDI the other day and since I didn't feel like anything and the hubs had to make a pee stop, we decided to pull into a spot and ordered a large peanut butter chocolate shake. It took a few minutes after I pushed the call button for someone to get to us and about 20 minutes later, we finally got out shake. They were pretty busy, but c'mon...a shake? I didn't know this before but you do have the option of paying cash if you decide you don't want to pay with a card. This S layout is a bit congested and not designed like most, which having car spots you drive into an angel. Most of the cars I saw pulling in, along with myself, had to do a 2 or 3 point turn to fit into the spot. The drink ended up being pretty thick and not filled up the whole way, but it was pretty tasty. If we ever come back here, we are definitely going to hit up the drive thru...and so should you. There's plenty of parking around the shopping center, so I would highly recommend going through the drive thru and parking outside the SDI. read more

Avoid annoyed employees and long wait times. Shitty app..The wait time is ridiculous. Ordered through the app and the app wasn't showing my order so I called JUST TO CONFIRM MY ORDER WAS RECEIVED, and they stated they received my order and would be bringing it out. Been here for 40 minutes and just got my incomplete order (qty wise) which wasn't our order. I got 1/5 burgers. So I asked if the rest of my order was coming, she stated that what she handed me was my order, so I told her that I had a big order and again confirmed if they had received it or not. Woman asked for the 1 burger back and said it belonged to the next customer. I told her we would just pay for it because we already touched it but she said she has to throw it out. Told her again to just charge us because we've been waiting too long for an order that's wasn't even given to us yet. I asked the employee if they needed to see my order so i can receive my correct items. She stated that there was only 9 people working and that's sent a problem, again I just wanted to make sure they knew what my order was. Now currently waiting for our complete food order.... The worker ended up being upset with me because I was asking for my correct items again????? I don't understand why an employee was upset with me when I'm only asking for what I paid for. I wasn't asking for any free items. I even paid for the food that I had came to contact with (even after this food wasn't my correct order but was handed to me by an employee anyways). Food that was just going to be thrown out. Ended up with the catty employee who just said "whatever" to me after I repeated my order to her to confirm for a third or fourth time to make sure it was correct. So she said whatever and again, an incorrect order.... We just left. "Whatever". No worth it anymore. Asked for no onions, got plenty. Asked for specific drink sizes, got wrong ones. All I wanted was my correct order that I paid for. It didn't need to take 1hour plus. No need to be upset with the customer. I was patient. I'm an essential employee too. read more

If you wanna wait 1 hr for a slushy and get forgotten about I highly recommend this place, customer service here is a joke , better off going somewhere else , if I could give negative or zero stars I would , isn't the first time read more

Half off Shakes after 8 PM! This is the only reason I go to Sonic ! I always get a large oreo shake because its $2.50! The reason I gave 3 stars and not 5 was because it took me 30 minutes to get through the drive thru and there was way too much whipped cream for my preference! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Cookies and Cream Large Shake - Burgers Near Me - Palmdale, California

Management needs to seriously fix the staff and operation how this place is ran. Customer service is awful. The food is poorly made and they can even get the drinks/desserts right. It's pathetic they can manage to screw up the easiest orders and this isn't the first time. read more

I wish I could rate this place with 0 stars. The worst service I ever get every visit. Takes 30 minutes just for a shake and they are so rude about getting service. Don't waste your time. read more

I have no idea why I keep coming here. I order food for just myself and it takes 20 mins plus to get anything. Once I ordered just a shake and it took 20 mins. I used to work at sonic and I would be fired if i took 20 mins to make a shake. I know that covid is going on but this place is always busy. So why isn't it staffed to reflect the business. Who ever owns this sonic needs to seriously look at getting better management and/or staff. read more

I've heard such great things about Sonic and I'm typically a fan of anywhere that has tater tots on the menu, but a visit to this location was a disappointment. Due to the cold weather we opted to use the drive-thru and ordered two cheeseburgers and chili cheese fries. We stopped to eat no more than 5 minutes later and both burgers were cold! The meat looked cooked, but was cold when you chewed eat. Not very appetizing. On top of the cold burgers, they messed up our order and put mayo when it should have been mustard on one of the burgers. The cheese wasn't even melted completely and the tomato was hard and flavorless. The chili cheese fries were the saving grace of this meal. The cheese was melted and the chili was lukewarm. If I do come back it won't be for the food, but to try a milkshake. Save your money and go elsewhere if you want a burger with hot meat. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Cheeseburger & Chili Cheese Fries as served - Burgers Near Me - Palmdale, California

Absolutely terrible. I LOVE Sonic and since I was in Palmdale, I was happy to stop in. The man taking the order got 2 of my 3 items wrong. Asked for watermelon with grape slush, was given plain grape. When I told him he just said "grape is just the stronger flavor". Wrong, I've had it many times and it was always a nice combination. I was given fries instead of tots. Took 5 minutes to correct that gem. My burger was as if it was made the night before. Completely stale tasting. Took one bite and threw it out. Management needs to put on some effort to improve this place because it was pathetic. read more

I waited over 30 min after to pressed the button to place my order for them to take my order then another 35 min to get my one burger and fries it's ridiculous read more

Food was decent. Service was very slow. Took maybe 20 minutes for our order. We got shorted our dipping sauce and my daughters fries (the only thing she will eat these days) so we waited another 15 minutes for them to "bring those right out" before giving up and driving off. Maybe just go for the drinks and not the food... read more

There are a few things I've tried at Sonic and all have been OK to say the least. To be honest I don't go so much for the food as I do for the experience. Where else are you going to get that drive in environment? You can go with your buddies and hang out while having an inexpensive meal and never have to leave the comfort of your car, well depending on what kind of car you have. If I had a sweet 79 ford Pinto you would not be able to get me out of that parking lot. The only locations I've visited are in Anaheim and Palmdale so it may be a bit difficult to make the trip for most of you out there. If you are ever passing through try and make the side trip. The food won't knock your socks off but you'll still have a some fun. Guys, treat your special lady to an evening at Sonic and maybe she will let you wear your old Ninja Turtle shirt again. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Palmdale, California

Worst place we ever been in and don't know what's the hype about. The food is sloppy worst then Carl's Jr. and we ask if they had chicken nuggets for kids meals and they said yes but when we got the order it was chicken tenders and the worst part our kid couldn't eat it because it was super hard like a rock. They should close this down it's the worst place in antelope valley (palmdale ). read more

service was very slow and their was only 2 customers. I ordered chick fingers and it was all bread. it wasn't more than 1/8 in thick and mushy. no one ever came to see if everything was ok or I would have told the employee and not of put it on yelp. read more

I would give it zero stars if I could . It took an hour to get our 2 shakes that we ordered. About Half an hour after waiting we pushed the button and young lady asked us what we liked to order . We told her we ordered half an hour ago and was wondering where our shakes where and she said it'll be right out but yet you didn't know our order so how could it? Plus a cars that pulled up 15-20 minutes after us got their order after about 10 mins and have left. We called a 3rd time had they have no clue where our order is or what we order and tried to BS us and say the Machine is broken even though shakes were delivered to the cars next to us. read more

we drove all the way from La to sonic and i ordered a chicago dog and a limeade slushy , they gave me a lemonade and when i asked them if thats a limeade they tried to convince me that it is (please look at the photos attached ) my drink was not green as shown on menu super bummed :( read more

Every single time we order from this Sonic it takes 45 minutes to an hour to grab our order. I am seriously not exaggerating this part just because I am upset at this moment. I literally ordered 3 drinks..... 3 drinks that was all. Please be careful ordering from this Sonic because you will wait for a very long time. Again I am not joking, for some reason it takes too long for them to give you your order. read more

Horrible. I was at drive in and waited 30 mins for my order. I pressed the button twice & was told a min and so on. I'm so disappointed.

There has to be a more efficient way of taking care of the patrons in the parking lot slots. I waited for the person the take my order for (no lie) 5 minutes but the car next to me drives up and they immediately take his order. We just ordered 2 strawberry shakes and we're still waiting 10 minutes after we've ordered. Sonic' has been around for a very long time. Efficiency should be taught in orientation. There's an employee checking out some guy's car in the parking lot like she doesn't have orders to fill. I really try to avoid this place...I really do. I'm glad I don't crave strawberry shakes but once a year read more

The place is fair but pro tip double check your slushy they tend to be melted all down. So that 5$ for nothing if you drive away read more

Sonic Drive-In - The slush is floating on the top - Burgers Near Me - Palmdale, California

I loved the Sonics commercials and wanted to give it a try. The pics of the food from eaters did not dissuade me. I suppose the drinks are great but I stay away from sugar. So... the tater tots were crispy and well made but not much flavor . Unfortunately, the burger tasted like a burger you would get from a cafeteria or AM PM mini mart! Seriously! The burger meat was not good at all. Sorry Sonic! read more

The worst. Drive through takes forever, drive up takes forever, order has been wrong three times in a row and the employees get pissed at us like it's our fault they gave us the wrong drinks (all we ever order is drinks and ice). Employee KEVIN is rude and seems to lack the cognitive ability to understand speech. We love the ice, so it brought us back even after two long, terrible trips here. But, after this third time in a row being frustratingly horrible we're out. We'll use regular ice. read more

Very slow service everytime I come here. I don't know what takes so long, the food doesn't even come out fresh. If you have time to wait then order via drive in. It literally took 25 minutes for 2 shakes and a meal, mind you there were only 2 cars pulled in before we pulled in. If you absolutely NEED to come here, go thru the drive thru. I came by and they didn't have large cups nor did they have certain flavors for drinks, must be franchised- worst sonics I've ever been to. read more

Holy slowness, I ordered a cherry limeade and I have been waiting more than 10 minutes. For a drink! Starbucks isn't even this slow. I do give them props for roller skating, it makes your wait a little more exciting Update on my next visit Order my meal. Cars pull in on both sides of me they order their meals about 5 minutes after I order and they have both received their meals and left. I'm still just sitting here waiting for my freaking hot dog. Come on!!! read more

Hopefully the owner or manager reads this..we are currently experiencing the best quality of customer service! Thank you Abagail and Deonte.! No matter how we were confused about an order, they were both very patient to make sure we got the right order! Thank you! read more

Everytime I attempt to patronize this particular Sonic, the food is cold even after waiting for way longer than supposed to...I ordered cheesetots and after 16mins of waiting I buzzed in and their response was "oh let me find your order"...I was one of only 2 cars in the lot...how did they lose a simple order?? I asked for corporate number to complain..first Karla told me she will go get the number..then she return to my car and say "oh u have to order something to get the corporate number that print on the bottom of receipt"...are u freaking kidding me??..so she swears she dont know corporate number...so in order to complain I still have to patronize them and spend money... This Sonic is a damn JOKE!! read more

The good first: Yummy slushie drinks, roller skating car hops (and a drive thru if you don't want to wait for all that), excellent fries, tater tots, chicken strips and hot dogs. Also lots of afternoon drink/slushie deals. Conveniently located in the Walmart parking lot. Cons: The burgers are horrible (chicken and beef) the buns taste weird and their sauce is gross. Fun time overall, kids love the carhops :) read more

I went through the drive-through just to get a drink and ended up having to wait 5 minutes in order to leave the drive-through because of the car in front who was waiting for food. Instead of having the car in front go around in on the other side they left the people sitting in front read more

1: Infested with rats which surround the store that seems to get worse at evening time 2: They dont order enough product and run out of everything and to make up for it they try to make the product themselves and end up with sour tasting slushees and clumpy ice cream 3: They absolutely do not clean the Tea holders ever. Which are supposed to be cleaned daily. 4: Hot water rarely works within the bathroom 5: slow service. 7: Trays comeout to deliver you your food with food droppinga from the customer before hand. 8: Food is almost never made to order and guaranteed to be cold every single time They literally dont care all they care about is profit and sales. Literally no customer service at all!! CANT WAIT UNTIL IN-N-OUT takes this place over. Do not eat here i promise you will regret. Reconsider mcdonalds gives more fucks than this place read more
