    OK, so I know it's not the healthiest option. But I got a text saying that today was foot-long hotdog day. Now who doesn't like chili dog once in a while? But a foot-long, quarter pound hotdog, with chili and cheese... The only thing better is half price. So for $1.99 you can get a foot-long chili dog. They do have a limit of five. But the way around this if you have a big family is just too order in the app, drive-through, rinse and repeat. After ordering five foot-long hotdogs for $10, I went through the drive-through and the guy that was serving me was extremely nice. Just had a good attitude. Got to be difficult to have such a great attitude and a fast paced fast food business. These things are huge! Don't forget to put in the promo code... Also I got some gift cards with two bonus five dollar gift cards so I use the app and I am able to use the gift cards after loading them on the app. Seamless...

    The frito thing. There was a mess all over the rapper inside and out.

    Gods always good. One time I asked for extra fudge and mnms and got neither. This most recent time I ordered online it took forever to actually come out to us. We just wanted to be big backs and when we finally got handed our food it was so messy. Ice cream all over the cup and bag of food. The Fritos wrap thing had almost no chilly in it basically just a bunch of tortilla. And the food wasn't hot.

    Groovy Fries

    When you buy fries here don't expect it to be full. It will come 3/4 of the way full and the manager said they only can fill it to that amount.

    This is the rainbow slush! She said she made it upside down. Sure. I believe you. Millions of others wouldn't,  but I do! NOT

    Lol. A rainbow slush was completely blue. She said its because she made it upside down???? Sure! I believe you. She offered to make a new one. Lol. Absolutely i love to sit in in the 100 degree day 8n the car while you fix your upside down mess. This place is a joke. No wonder it only has 2 stars. I would give it none.

    After my errands I'm pretty hot and have been wanting to try the Strawberry Shortcake Slushy

    1.5.24 update: I tried to give this Sonic another chance, but it's a no-go. I mobile ordered ahead and pulled into a stall when I arrived and checked-in. After waiting over 5 minutes, it said my order was coming out. I waited and waited and waited. I finally pushed the button to talk to someone and explained the situation, to which they told me to wait in the Drive-Thru line when I shouldn't have had to do so. Now after waiting 20 minutes in the Drive-Thru line I get up to the window and ask for a refund and explain that my food should have been ready 25 minutes ago. They would not honor a refund but offered to re-make my food fresh, threw in a small shake, and gave me a coupon for a free limeade and tater tots. Even though they re-made the food, it was warm at best and the pickled fries were soggy, the mozzarella sticks were gummy, and the hot dog wasn't hot and they put way too much relish on it. I'm really not one to complain, but the food was terrible. From beginning to end, I spent 45 minutes there. However on a positive note, the strawberry milkshake and blue raspberry slushie were great and the manger was nice and apologetic.

    I made an order through the app. At first the worker tried handing me my order without my drink, and once I let him know that there was a drink he returned with this. ‍ This location always seems to mess something up with your order.

Before you go in, there is signs that says expect a 20 minute wait or more for a burger. If that is an issue for you, this isn't the spot for you. I've gone here a few times. The most recent time with my parents and aunt. I was a bit skeptical taking them to a dive bar for a burger since I wasn't sure how they would react to it. I didn't know until after the meal that they had a whole back section that would have been a lot better of an experience for them. They have a lot of tables and room back there whereas the front is either a bar, one table, or more a a lounge set up. There is also a outdoor area, but it had been a bit windy and sprinkling throughout the day so that isn't an option. I've done the Frenchified burger and the chile burger. Both times i opted for the fries over the chips and feel like I need to try the chips. Burger comes with two patties, a great bun, than the rest is up to you on which you choose. The fries are what I would consider shoe string fries, but maybe slightly thicker. I'm usually not a fan of shoestring fries, but I polished them off easily both times. My parents and aunt are harder to please. They like ingredients that speak for themselves and don't like too much sauces. All 3 of them really enjoyed it and I'm sure they will all be back. They have been looking for a good burger in Reno and I think this was it for them.

If I was the owner I would be proud to have her as my employee. Now on to the food. It's next to canes so it's hard to not compare the tenders and bread. Canes has better bread but that's it. This place has good tenders, hot dogs and burgers. They also have shakes and some other items. I have tried most items on the menu and the only thing I didn't care for was the toast. Everything else has been delicious and fresh tasting. The quality of burger is so much better the a lot I have tried.

Our server checked on us the right amount and our food came out quickly. We ordered the Giant Hamburger and the BLT. The burger was thick, juicy, and piled high with classic toppings, messy in the best way and full of flavor. The BLT was generously stacked with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomato on toasted bread, simple and satisfying. The only downsides were the fries and my drink. The fries were overcooked, dry, and a bit too tough. I ordered a vodka soda, and it tasted more like soda with a splash of vodka. Overall, it was a good experience and we would return.
