    I always have exceptional service and food is always fresh. Sometimes when they are busy it may take longer. I order on the app and it's so easy. The atmosphere is always quiet. The ambiance is good. It's so easy to get in and out of this Sonic. This is my go to sonic to get a snack.

    It was such a nice day out that we were in the mood for chili cheese coneys and fries! This location is deep into east Riverview but it's still closer to us than the one on 60. There is no drive thru at this location so that was different but we didn't mind anyway and ordered away. The speakers on the order screen can definitely be lowered because it seemed like it was about to blow out. Nick took our order and he delivered it. He met with our dogs and gave them some love and gave our order precisely. We tipped him generously and he seemed very grateful and that made our trip even better. I would definitely return to this location because everything was perfect from the moment we drove up and the moment we took off.

    New order screens.  Nice!

    Ok so, I love "real" banana flavored milkshakes. In my quest, I tried PDQ's seasonal Banana Pudding shake. Nope, not the one. It was more like a Vanilla Wafer shake w/a hint of banana. So, the search continued. Last night, I tried Sonic's Fresh Banana milkshake (again) and it was AMAZING! A liberal amount of "ripe" (not green) bananas carefully blended w/ice cream (or base). Result? An amazing 1200 calories of bliss! If I'm going to "fall off", it needs to be RIGHT! In general, most restaurants battle consistency issues. Sonic is no different. So, don't expect nirvana on every visit. Let's be realistic. That being said, this location (Balm Riverview) is the most consistent...for a QUALITY banana milkshake. Due to past quality issues, I avoid other Sonics in the area (Big Bend, and Valrico on 60). Lastly, KUDOS!...to the employee who put so much love into my diet busting banana shake (Thu 4/12/18 @ 9:53 pm). SONIC: Please ensure all staff learn and follow "that" process.

    Raw chicken from sonic.

    Ordered my kids chicken tenders. They commented that it tasted weird. It was raw. Manager offered to replace it because they ate some of it. Yeah, thanks for nothing. Keep your raw chicken!

    I went to sonic for lunch and ordered a crispy chicken sandwich. Once I received it I started eating, by the time I was half way through the sandwich I noticed a nasty taste once I opened it up. It was completely uncooked and raw. I asked to speak with the manager. His response was "I'm sorry this happened to you I can tell it's raw and we batch cook so we don't temp all the meats when they come out. this isn't the first time it's happen" well I asked to speak with his supervisor which is Dwayne. He didn't pick up but I left him a detailed message. By the time he called me back I was running a high fever and feeling sick. I had to go to the ER. I plan on calling him back shortly. I also called the board of health to report this location. I was treated for food poisoning in the ER and now I'm in so much pain and vomiting. Please save your self the headache do not go to this location.

    It's happy hour or so of course this is the menu

    If I could give ABC Liquor zero stars, I would. I had one of the worst customer service experiences…read moreof my life here, thanks to an employee named Fernando. I asked for help finding a bottle of wine, and his response was not only rude--it was outright abusive. He told me to "go find the wine yourself" and then said "go f** yourself."* Yes, you read that right. An employee actually said that to a customer. Fernando was condescending, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional from start to finish. When I called him out on his behavior, he continued to backtalk and escalate the situation instead of resolving it. It's absolutely unacceptable for any businessespecially one in customer serviceto tolerate this kind of behavior from their staff. I will never shop here again, and I strongly urge management to address this or risk losing more customers. Update to this review, I try to report this to the store manager and I had one of the most frustrating and disappointing customer service experiences with a store manager named Lorie Lawton. From the moment I tried to voice my concerns, she was dismissive, condescending, and completely unprofessional. Rather than listening or trying to help, she continuously talked over me, backtalked, and made it painfully clear she wasn't interested in resolving anything. Instead of taking accountability or offering solutions, Lorie chose to pass the buck, pointing fingers elsewhere while ignoring everything I said. Her attitude was not only rude but borderline hostile. It felt like she was doing everything in her power to avoid responsibility, and it left me feeling disrespected and unheard. A store manager should set an example--not make the situation worse. If this is the kind of leadership this location is operating under, I strongly urge upper management to take a closer look. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in any professional setting.
