    The food was pretty good I had a Oreo blast that was good it just got old after a wile and needed to be mixed more because the bottom was just vanilla ice cream but it was still very nice and smooth ice cream. Another person in my party had the lemon lime soda thing it would be more a a fresh soda but he said it tasted like sprite. The service was not supper fast but not slow. Visiting Phoenix we expected more of a drive up sonic but this one didn't have the classic look. The ambiance was ok the tables were kind of dirty but the chairs were comfortable.

    Medium onion ring. Only 5 in the bag

    Stopped for lunch on the way back to our side of town. The value meal was a good deal, cheeseburger, side and a drink for $6. Also got a medium onion ring and there were only 5 in the bag... for $3.39...for real. Didn't get any of the sauces I requested. Mediocre service at best.

    Raw Corn Dog

    The mozzarella sticks were delicious, but these corn dogs were so undercooked I'm pretty sure the batter still had hopes and dreams. The inside was basically still liquid batter. Cold weenie too, which really tied the whole experience together. Very disappointed from such a fine dining establishment as Sonic Drive-In. Service was okay, although I fear the kitchen may have mistaken "corn dog" for "interactive cooking experience." Hoping management addresses this before the Michelin inspectors arrive and revoke the star. Please contact me to make this right. I would be willing to give the mozzarella sticks another chance in the interest of fairness and journalism.

    I love Sonic's food.i got the #7 footlong cony dog.its my favorite. Sonic has my favorite food I've had Sonic for so many years and I'm not going to plan on stopping going there anytime soon.

    Burnt corn dog served by sonic

    I don't know what happened-- but I ordered a corn dog on regular price & they served me a burnt one which I believe has been under a warmer for quite a while. They usually are alright - but I don't know if the manager or franchise owner is aware of this... better to get corn dogs at Walmart or Safeway

    All American dog

    Love this sonic. They move quick and the food is hot. You have to get the tot nachos and the jalapeño poppers!

    NO tater tots

    Was going to have a simple night filled with sonic and delight, however I didn't receive my 2 orders of tater tots. very disappointing. wish i could give 0 stars

    A Nostalgic, Must-Visit Dessert Destination in Old Town Scottsdale…read more Our party of six visited the Sugar Bowl for dessert following a friend's birthday dinner. Upon our arrival, we were accommodated immediately and seated without any delay. The parlor features a wonderful, nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of the late 1900s. Its menu is remarkably expansive, offering an impressive variety of options that goes well beyond what one might typically expect from a traditional dessert establishment. The service we received was patient and polite. While one of our table's orders was initially overlooked, the staff corrected the mistake instantly as soon as we brought it to our server's attention. As the name implies, the menu leans heavily into decadent, sweet treats; those looking for lighter or tart options like yogurt variations will find limited choices, but the indulgent selections are perfect for traditional dessert lovers. The surrounding neighborhood adds significantly to the appeal, offering an excellent Old Town atmosphere filled with art galleries, historic shops, and artifacts. If you are visiting the nearby Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA), enjoying dinner in the area, or simply taking an evening walk, I highly recommend stopping by the Sugar Bowl for its unique historical charm and experience.

I considered several options in Phoenix area to review, but I decided to go with the iconic Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale. It's been in business since the 1950's and has been a staple for 7 decades in Old Town. The inside is 1890's decor of pink & white wallpaper/decor like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. They have a bar area and standard seating. I remember I first went here when I was in high school in late 90's/early 2000's. Ice cream was always top notch. I used to get the Buster Brownie, which was this big brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, goeey marshmallow topping, whipped cream, & cherry on top. It was awesome! I loved that way back then. I got lunch there once or twice; pretty good sandwiches, but the real highlight is the ice cream. My most recent visit was in Jan. 2022 with my dad. We decided to pop in for ice cream. It was as delicious as I remembered.

I sampled at least 4 flavors and they didn't seem too annoyed with me. My issue with Jeni's is primarily I think all of their ice cream across the board is too sweet (I know, it's dessert... I just really feel that dialing the sugar to 2/3 the amount would be perfect). All of the flavors I sampled would have been great. I ultimately ordered Buttercream Birthday Cake and Milkiest Chocolate, with the Buttercream Birthday Cake really pushing my boundary. Nonetheless enjoyable outing on a really hot July day. I'd go back to this location, bearing in mind it's not my favorite ice cream in the world. Also I must add, it's quite expensive. Buying for me individually, doesn't do too much damage, but for say a family of 4, this would be a pricey outing.

I opted for the Neverfull of nuts. A vanilla ice cream base, dipped in chocolate, rolled with peanuts, a Reese's and Nutella drizzle. It was very good and definitely enjoyed during the beautiful sunny day in Old Town. The service was great, friendly, quick and helpful with suggestions. My grandparents who were visiting from out of town, loved it. Overall, it was a delicious treat, beautiful store and hit the spot. I do feel the price point is a tad steep and they didn't have any children of small offerings, but I suppose that goes hand in hand with the luxe vibe. I would definitely return, but also a few other local spots that equally hit the mark.
