    I just went to sonic to get a cherry coke. I opened the lid to give my son a piece of ice and this little bug was just floating on top! I took it out to get a picture and it was a live one What a waste of my whole soda.

    All of our food was cold and looks like if it out for awhile.. wait 30 minutes to have cold food. Not fair

    That is all the strawberry in my Strawberry Limeaide.

    One would think if I'm paying over 3 and a 1/2 bucks for a strawberry lime that there would be more than a teaspoon a strawberry in it. There wasn't hardly enough to even give it flavor. It it was pretty much a straight Limeade dash of strawberry.

    Mozzarella sticks for 99 cents who can beat that!? Yeah right! Apparently you have to tell the employees of their own promotions or you don't receive the discount price. I tried to explain to Erika at the window but she made no effort to make it right. I'm not surprised Sonic is very slow and the service is atrocious.

    Quick bite to go and the only reason I'm in Shafter is because I had to appear for a driving violation. So when you get a ticket at Kern county and you have to appear at the Shafter court, you will at least have a nice place to grab a quick bite.

    My boyfriend and I always get an ice cream here on stay at home movie nights. Service is as best as it can be. I think some of the reviews are harsh. You have to keep in mind that this is a very small town and one of three drive thru's. You have three choices: Sonic, McDonald's, or Del Taco. Sonic is the only fast food who has happy hour after 8 so drive thru is always about 5 minutes or more depending on other orders. Staff is always friendly!

    We almost didn't come here because of all the bad reviews in the past but we gave it a chance and went through the drive thru.

    I've been hearing about how great the food was in this gas station for years but I never stopped to…read moretry them out. Well I was starving and decided to try it out. I called in my order and stopped to pick it up. There were quite a bit of people already in the store ordering food. I overheard one lady telling someone how great the food was and asking what they'd ordered. I ordered the chilaquiles but they forgot to ask me how I wanted my eggs cooked so after I told them I had to wait about 8 minutes for my food. I went with the red salsa and added carne asada with over easy eggs. The bowl was amazing! I will definitely stop back in here for some more great food!

She's a connoisseur of fried chicken, and I felt like having a nice breakfast burrito. We ordered that and we were not disappointed. The people there were working fast and used lots of fresh ingredients. There was about 6 others waiting for their order, and a few in line. Didn't seem crowded, and we got our orders in less than 10 minutes. If you happen to find yourself in Shafter and are looking for comfort food, make a Big Stop here.

Entras, y el menú está mostrado en la pared arriba de la cajera. Pides y ahí mismo se ve que preparan la orden. Yo decidí pedir una mulita de asada con todo y salsa roja para tomar, una agua de jamaica. No tuve que esperar tanto, unos 5 minutos y ya estaba la orden. La pedí pa llevar y que arrancó a la oficina a comer que tenía mucha hambre. Les comparto mi secreto? Me gusta abrir la mulita y comérmela como tacos. Y que rica estaba la comida! La carne tiene buen sabor y el balance de cebolla/cilantro y salsa con la mulita era perfecta. Me quede con ganas de más! No puedo hablar mucho del servicio, más que la transacción fue rápida. Que es algo positivo. El ambiente del lugar es bonito. Si había gente comiendo y conviviendo dentro y eso siempre es bonito ver.
