Sign on the door saying employees only

No I do not recommend this restaurant. It took them a great deal of time to even answer to take her order. Then they got the order wrong twice on the same item. I had to walk into the sonic twice on the same problem because I could not fix it the first time. Then they hung a sign on the door says employees only. Service at the sonic is not good save yourself some headache and go somewhere else

A very honest review from Ocrober 09, 2019

Jessie Reinhart Review. OCTOBER 09, 2019 Just wanted to vent....we had things to do today ..so we had been out in the car and started to get hungry..not hungry enough for a large meal just snack and quick foods...1st we stopped at Wendy's and just got a soda to take with us....by the time we got over to Southside we decided to go to Sonic.....chicken tenders and tater tots........OMG....the worst things I've ever seen....the grease was so old that the tenders were almost black...a piece of toast was thrown on top of them that looked like someone had put them on a DIRTY grill then took them off and stepped on it...it was so nasty one of the little birds that had been crapping all over the picnic tables on their patio threw it in the air and when it landed it went over and crapped on the toast giving the tables a break. The grease was soooooo bad we actually used a whole container of hand sanitizer to just get the smell off of our hands....This has got to be the nastiest place I have ever seen.....but the worst part of all is the "Manager" is proud of it.....SO SAD....SO IF YOU'RE WANTING DIARRHEA....HAVE A MEAL AT SONIC ON SOUTHSIDE.....

My Receipt

I would give zero if I could. You could buy the ingredients and go home and cook it faster than they can throw it through the window.

I ordered a SLUSHIE on the app and still waited 25 minutes for it. I was very angry and I don't plan on coming back anytime soon.

Lots of selection, whether hot dogs or burgers, so be ready if the line is rushing through on a lunch break. Apparently the special here is a root beer slush, which my buddy got and was happy with. I ended up getting a burger and hot dog, both were on a toasted bread, which is a little bit unique. Loved that the menu is pretty pickle-forward. Flavors were on-point, the bread could have been a little less-firm, but maybe it's because I took a couple minutes to step to my burger and it firmed up like drier toast. Kind of wished I got the chili dog, but was completely stuffed before the end of the meal, so wasn't able to further gorge. Will be stopping here again when we make a dedicated trip to Parkersburg later in the summer.

Absolutely average is just about every way…read more We had spent the day in Parkersburg and had this place recommended a couple times The restaurant is a typical tavern looking seat yourself restaurant. It seems to not know what it wants to be. Is it a pub? Is it a sports bar? Overall clean and comfortable. We were there for lunch and it was fairly busy and VERY loud. Definitely people talking at "bar" levels. The menu is a smallish sandwich focused spread. We had a Rueben and a NET Burger. Both were large and as stated average. The strange thing is sandwiches do not come with anything on the side. Just a sandwich on a plate. No chips, no fries, no pickle spear. Just a sandwich. We did order onion rings as a appetizer they were pretty good, butI just found it odd the way our sandwiches were presented , and odder that our server never mentioned this. When talking about service, this is the one place that is not average. It is below average It was semi busy, but our server was often missing in action. Aside from the not mentioning the no accompaniment to sandwiches, she disappeared for 20 minutes as we were awaiting our check to leave. We actually had to ask a different server for our check. Over all service was poor, food and facilities were just OK-ish. Probably would not return. Based on observations locals love this place, but our visit was lackluster
