Service was veryyyyy slow but the place was pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the footlong coney combo with a cherry limeade and tots. The kiddo had a kids meal with a cheeseburger and cookie blast shake. The hotdog was overdone and the bun was dry. The onions were roughly chopped and the chili was okay. Honestly I wasn't impressed by the food although I'd agree the drinks weren't bad. The car hops were friendly, but since this is the only sonic close I'll stick to the tots and drinks! read more

Nights food service is atrocious! I ordered a small order nothing complicated at all! NO FOOD CAME IN MY BAG! Night manager was rude and took 5 times to pick up the phone to even ask about my order. I will never order here again, as every other time I order from here I also seem to get food poisoning/ along with my family has as well. Grease was on my bag but no food LMAO! MIND YOU, they weren't "pre-closing" and they still had 3hrs bfr they closed, bag was never sealed, which it usually IS. Do better Wyandotte-Sonic. Also check yall's staff bfr someone else does, I recognize this behavior being accurate to this location, often. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burnt Corn Dog - Burgers Near Me - Southgate, Michigan

No food. No refund. No good Sonic. No good at all. Seth placed a group order for our unit at a local hospital. We placed the online order (Sat) through the sonic app. The car show had caused the road to close down and we were unable to pick up our order. Calling Sonic they stated they k ew we could not get there, and would not allow us to cancel the order, and they would not allow a refund. So there are like 12 of us who paid Seth but received nothing. Seth tried to make it right and drove over to sonic tonight (Sun) They would not refund nor remake the order. No good Sonic. No food. No refund.Do not go to this Sonic. They will be happy to take an on line order and tell you it's a third party app and they can't refund or replace the food you never received. Thumbs down. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Our order. Maybe Sonic headquarters can make this right? - Burgers Near Me - Southgate, Michigan

I can remember eating sonic years ago and didn't like it. I decided to give it another chance and my burger was so greasy. I was repulsed and threw it away. No way!! read more

I had milkshakes on the brain since my colleagues were talking about them and Sonic during lunch. I tried the strawberry cheesecake shake and it was delicious I did drive through and staff were courteous and swift. This was dessert after large meal, I had no business even going but Sonic was right next door... there I was. I opted for no whipped cream because IMO: gets wasted at the top and I couldn't lift the lid to enjoy because I was driving. I will be back in the future! read more

sonic blast was not mixed could still see choc syrup all smeared onto the lid unfortunately was rushed with ordering burger was just put together bun falling apart had to get a refund milkshake wasn't even mixed read more

Sonic Drive-In - Menu board - Burgers Near Me - Southgate, Michigan

I waited for 20 minutes at one of the stalls during their operating hours. Only for them to tell me the stalls are closed and it is drive-thru only. Why don't you put a sign up or turn off the stalls so you don't waste someone's time? read more

I really only come to Sonic for three things: popcorn chicken, tots and delicious milkshakes. I've never had a bad experience here. I tried a burger once. Never again. It's too expensive, too big and doesn't taste like much. But the tots... mmmmm. They're delicious, especially along with an order of popcorn chicken. Their shakes are so damn good. My favorite is hot fudge, strawberry and banana. They use real toppings, not just flavor syrups. I drive out of my way for their shakes. I love Sonic. I wish there was one in Dearborn. read more

Line was stupid long but it moved fast. It was later at night, so we had to do the drive through window (which was a bummer because my girls had not been to a Sonic before, so they've never experienced the delivery to the car process). We didn't get food, so I'm holding my 5th star for now until we try it. However, the service was friendly and quick, and our milkshakes were delicious, so I'm hopeful that their food will deliver as well. read more

Sonic Drive-In - First time, long line. This better be good. - Burgers Near Me - Southgate, Michigan

I usually don't come around this area but when i did i had a horrible experience at this location. the cashier was very rude and disrespectful. I came on august 9th 2022 at around 1145 pm and the cashier thought he seen us throw something out the window and when we refused to pick up the garbage that was not ours he decided to come outside of the place and assault us verbally. I am very disgusted with the behavior of this establishment. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO GHIS SONIC OR ANY OTHERONE FOR THAT MATTER!!! read more

Tried to place a carry out via online and all of the cards I tried the order got canceled. Called up there and they told me that I would have to come up, but wouldn't get the 1/2 price items that I ordered online. read more

Generally stop in for a Diet Cherry Limeade before traveling back to Indianapolis - decided to try a burger and onion rings this time. Cherry limeade was delicious! Surprisingly, the burger was tasty - flavorful, moist, well-seasoned but there were A LOT of condiments on it. The onion rings were terrible - sickly sweet and greasy. I did get a "pup cup" for my dog, which she enjoyed (but had to split because it was very large). read more

It was 50 cent corn dog day and I ordered enough for the entire family. It was our first time trying the promotion and they were great until my toddler was given one with a missing stick. No biggie until she was eating it and choked on a small broken off piece of the "missing stick" hidden inside. I tried calling several times and got no answer. I'm very disappointed that they didn't even try to make this right. I'll be going to corporate and hopefully they'll answer. (Just found a second without a stick, at least this one was an intact stick so nobody choked on this one luckily. I'll show a pic of it) read more

Waited for 20 minutes in the stall after pressing the red button and even had someone come up and ask us if we ordered yet then walked away and we still never got to order. we left after waiting for 30 minutes. read more

This was the first Sonic I had ever been to. It's in the same parking lot as the Meijer so it's easy to stop in after getting your weekend shopping out of the way. Food is fine, breakfast is underwhelming, but most people go for the drinks and ice cream shakes. Shakes are half price after 8 p.m., so it's a great way to treat yourself at the end of the workday. read more

***AVOID WASTE OF MONEY*** Worst food ever! Paid way to much for poor quality food. Hot dog was older than dirt bun had mold on it. Tomato on my friends cheeseburger was mushy & brown lettuce. Called to complain got a rude manager who said I was lying. Called corporate they offered some free food coupons. I said no thanks can't understand how their still open. read more

Not impressed with the service at all. They are really slow and many times my order is wrong or they mess it up somehow. All the food is mediocre. I'd rather have wendys or BK. The drinks are great though. #1 complaint....Sonic blasts are yummy but never mixed well. All the candy stays at the bottom of the cup. read more

I have been here a few times but have yet to leave a review. The employees are always super friendly but today Mario went out of his way for me. Yesterday I placed and order on the app and it didn't go through while I was waiting and then after I got to work it said the order was ready, I explained what happened and he told me what I had to do but still replaced my order anyways. The red bull slushees are always amazing and the food is always good as well. But the customer service sets them apart. read more

Sonic by far has the best burgers out of any fast food place, and their chicken sandwiches aren't far behind. their fries were good but their onion rings tastes like French toast...ew. But the Oreo blizzard thing definitely made up for it in the end :D i highly recommend it read more

I could just never understand why metro Detroit gets all those Sonic commercials, until this weekend, when I actually saw the Sonic whilst driving to a wedding reception. Turns out that the Southgate location is the only one in the entire STATE, which apparently warrants the TV commercial assault. After said reception, we decided that we all had to give it a whirl. Even though none of us were hungry. And we don't really dig fast food. And we don't know Downriver (no offense, peeps of South Detroit, we just don't hang). This joint was HOPPING, to the point that "security" had set up parking cones and cordoned off areas to direct traffic inward. Crazy! Of course, we had to go to the drive-in. Parked and perused the too-small and too-crammed menu board. Opted to get some burgers and TOTS (tater tots at a fast food restaurant?!?!? Holy Family School!) but unwisely skipped the drinks, which really are the whole point of the place, anyway. Our server DID come out on wheels, but took the tray away as soon as we were served, which makes for much less convenient drive-in dining. The food entered our gullets and promptly sank to the lowest points of our stomachs. SO greasy, fried, dense, heavy, oily. Duh, I know, one who orders a carton of tots and complains about fried food is one who should perhaps snap a lid on it. But we can at least say that we've been there, done that. Fear not - if you hesitate to make the trek to Southgate, just wait a while...apparently 30 Sonics are slated to open in Michigan within the year. read more

My friends brother is in a wheel chair smh . The big guy flipped him off and he was crying for 4 hours, we haven't seen him since.

I was very excited for Southgate to be getting a Sonic. We were ambushed with their commercials for a few years and now it was here. I can say they could have just kept this place away. I ordered a cheeseburger, tots, and a drink; pretty basic and easy right? The burger was much too salty, which is saying a lot because I over salt everything. The tots were like raw potatoes. And they serve their drink in styrofoam cups. For a drive-in type stand get A&W instead. read more

Good food , good prices , quality milk shakes and slushies and who doesn't love tots , always good service for all the employees good variety for all to eat read more

The 3 star rating is only relevant within the fast food category. It's not as if this is really 3 star quality food. The supersonic breakfast burrito is awesome. Also be sure to order the tots and a cherry limeade. For those of you that are parents..... My kids seem to think its a special treat to come here. read more

if i could give less then one star I WOULD! i know people say that, but i mean that with my whole heart and my bones. went here tonight and my friend orders a chocolate oreo shake, we pull up to the window after the entire service was so rushed. girls looked underage and don't know the first thing about customer service. gave my friend a peanut butter shake when my friend is ALLERGIC. we go back around after we make sure my friend is okay, and not only do they not care but gave us attitude and MADE THE WRONG ONE AGAIN. read more

Sonic service was below average although the food was impeccable I highly suggest the shakes my son found a hair in this slushy so that definitely makes this establishment below average read more

It will be awhile until I come back. About once a week, I go for "happy hour" half-price drinks and a couple of .99 corn dogs. Today, I drove through and was informed that there is no longer a "happy hour" though there are advertisements in doors/windows. I asked for "specials" and was told that there "were none." As I was leaving, I saw a window sign that stated 1/2 price drinks if ordered on the app and 2.99 specials. Sonics is not special. read more

I saw the comical commercial for their pretzel dog and had to try it, because the pretzel burger from Wendy's is delicious. I had never been to a Sonic before, and I don't think I'll be going back. It's rare I say that based on one visit to a location. I ordered the pretzel dog combo with a peanut butter milkshake. Their fries are the worst ever and in very small portions. The milkshake was okay, but it tasted very similar to the ones you can get at Steak n' Shake for a cheaper price during their happy hour. The pretzel dog was the worst hot dog I ever had, and it wasn't because of the pretzel bun. The bun was probably twice as big as the hot dog, so it looked silly. It came with bacon, cheese, and onions (but I asked for no onions). It came with a tiny portion of watered cheese and a blob of dried bacon bits. The hot dog tasted like the kind you would break off from a frozen block of Great Value hot dogs and toss in the microwave. It was lukewarm, thin, and had no good taste to it. It definitely did NOT look like the commercial, and while most fast foods don't look like their commercial counterparts, this one was appalling. My wife (who had also never been to Sonic) ordered the chicken wrap combo, and she said her wrap tasted like it was made a day ago; the wrap was soggy where there was Ranch and crisp on the edges. It made her sick. We barely ate any of our fries. read more

I promised myself that I would'nt comment on fast food joints but here goes: this place is over-hyped. For the money the food is'nt that great! Thank you Detroit! Goodnight! read more

Ordering at Sonic is not easy. Menu font too small - also, too many options. Food ok.

I always WANT to like Sonic. They have tasty sounding things on the menu. But really? I've never gotten FOOD from Sonic that I liked eating. Their drinks are good most of the time which is the only reason they get any stars at all. Period. Paragraph. read more

Great cheeseburgers and hot dogs. Quick service. Fries are good if you eat them on the spot but don't make the trip home very well.

Horrible speaker system, kept asking same questions due to bad sound. And still the order was wrong. Is either under staffed, or employees are slow or too busy, but taking a while to place an order. Shakes machine is broken, so convenient when they are supposed to be half price. No corndogs. Never again! read more

This was by the far the worse sonics ever. Made two orders. We got one the other never came we waited 30 minutes. Went up after trying to find out what was going on. They never took the first order! Drive past this place if you can or use the drive thru read more

Slushes and milkshakes are the only things worth getting. Dried out tater tots and super salty burgers and hot dogs...surely not worth the price. I've had better hamburgers at McDonald's. read more

I'm impressed! The place is super clean. I ordered and received my order in no time flat. The food was hot and fresh. The server was super friendly. And to top it off the manager came out and asked me if I was enjoying my hot dog. A+++ experience. read more
