After some errands n shopping feeling like a corn dog! Not a long line but car in front of me wasn't getting their order taken right away so I waited about five minutes before my turn to order. I always get a corn dog here as my one guilty pleasure. Today I ordered a cherry limeade to go with it. I decided to park and eat. My corn dog was hot and after applying some mustard took a bite. I wasn't disappointed as the cornmeal was crispy and fried perfectly with a bit of sweetness to it. My slush was very slushy and not too sweet. All in all I was happy with my afternoon snack! read more

I've been coming here since high school. Aka when they still roller skated to cars. One of my first yelp elite events was actually here and it's cool to know that it is family owned. The food is nothing to write home about but what do you expect with fast food chains? I come for the drinks and good deals or if I'm ever crazy a strawberry Oreo milkshake. Service is best when you order through the app but sometimes can be a bit of a wait when going to the stalls. Glad it's near my house for when I want a bit of a sweet treat. read more

Sonic Drive-In - My dog loves a good drive thru - Burgers Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Our order was messed up and missing stuff my I order a bacon cheeseburger and only had half a piece of bacon no cheese or pickles and our drinks were not right the young lady just gave me our food and walk away I will not be going back read more

I don't eat very many fast food meals but when I'm looking for a special treat I always choose Sonic. Their diet cherry limeade is my favorite and you can get it for a great price during their happy hour. Right now they're serving their seasonal peppermint shake and it's delicious. Tastes like real peppermint, not that artificial unnatural tasting flavor. Love their hotdogs and breakfast burritos. Service at this location is always great for me. read more

First, let me say, we LOVE Sonic! It's out guilty pleasure fast food. Sonic smashburger & pickle fries? TAKE MY MONEY. It has always been a decent experience here - save for chronically forgotten sauces & napkins - but today REALLY missed the mark. 4/16/25 @ 6:47pm, I ordered online and prepaid. Arrived at 7:04pm, just a few minutes after the app indicated my food would be ready. Parked and pressed the infamous RED BUTTON on the board, told the young man that answered I'd ordered online. He asked my name and said my food wasn't ready yet. I sat for 10 minutes and waited. No one came out w my food. Sat another 10 minutes and noticed a steady stream of people walking INTO the employee area w receipts & bags, so something was going on. I finally walked up to the server area and asked what was the wait, and was told I "hadn't checked in yet". I said I had spoken to someone 20 minutes ago and looked towards a young man, and that tells me he FORGOT about me, while my food sat getting cold. They offered to refund me, I should have allowed it but my family had not been waiting over 30 minutes for food and I just wanted to get home. So, I got stuck with cold, soggy food. Boooo Sonic, no one thought what is this bag doing here? I hope management helps refine their employee procedures of who answers and carhops hot food to waiting customers. read more

Sonic Drive-In - 40 MINUTES from order to food! - Burgers Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Sonic has always been a quick and easy experience for us when we stop by. Lately i have been obsessed with their sugar cookie doctor pepper. Yes im pregnant.. but hey i think it's a winner all the time. We usually get the smash burgers which are always a win. Seems like a nicer fast food option than McDonald's or Burger King, but still definitely fast food. The mozzarella sticks are so good but they almost always forget the marinara sauce so make sure you check before you drive away!! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Kids running the place with their friends outside, they're all just chatting away. Meanwhile, it's super busy, I waited 20 minutes for my pickup, just to have to go thru the drive thru to grab it. To top things off, they kept giving us ranch instead of marinara. Need management to hire some adults or set some rules... read more

Tried to order a chili cheese wrap and this dude didnt even know that it existed. I would've understood if he just said they ran out of stuff for it, but NO. He didn't even know what it was when I explained what section of the menu it was under. My humble brother in christ, you work here. But they gave me a free item for the bother so thats nice. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Told the dude the menu item is right there. - Burgers Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

I used to like Sonic but this location makes me avoid the entire chain. They're either consistently out of food, they give you the wrong food or they short you on food. It's typically cold and greasy. It was nicer when they had carhops read more

Says it closes at 11 but pulled into the drive through at 10:45. Only to be told "we don't have any more food, we took the last order already" I said it says online you close at 11. He stated yea we don't want to cook anymore food. read more

I have frequently visited this Sonic with my family for years now. I thought I wrote a review here before. I still come back because their food is consistent and who doesn't love their milkshake menu?! They also serve later than other burger joints in the Sparks area. I have only had a few mishaps with delivery to my house, so I only come here in person. Food is served hot. There's a bit more of a wait, but I would rather wait then receive cold food. Service can be a bit slower if you're parked and order at one of their intercoms. They don't always work. I suggest avoiding this place when they have their happy hour. It can be a zoo, but if you're into that more power to you! I came by tonight to grab burgers for my kiddos. I really didn't want to wait in an In and Out line. It wasn't too bad of a wait tonight for three cheeseburgers and two milkshakes. Their Sonic smashers are delicious. I stole a bite from my son. I was bummed because they are out of mini cups, so I canceled my mini shake. I didn't want a small shake or I'd drink it all. Kudos to the staff for getting us through the line. The cars piled up behind me as I was placing my order. Suggesting bringing different forms of payment if you heavily rely on mobile payment. I noticed a sign that there wasn't any Apple pay. I was very pleased with the quality tonight, but that wasn't always the case here. I might have to come back for a smasher for myself soon. I can't attest to the inside of their restaurant since I've only been in the Reno location when I got my driver's license years ago with my friends. I'm a firm believer in ice makes a drink better and Sonic ice is my favorite! read more

Just went through the drive thru and ordered two medium sonic blasts and got them half fucking full. Not to mention the employees having shitty attitudes when I asked why my cups are only filled to the middle. If I'm paying for a medium sized cup that shit should be filled to the top. This location apparently likes to rip people off. Would 100 percent recommend NOT going here. read more

Every time I want Sonic... This one is an issue. Either they shut off their ordering on the app, the stalls aren't working or they'll say its open on the app and Google, you get there and EVERY SINGLE light is shut off except the inside with employees working, probably cleaning to go home earlier. Today, I went to get two drinks. Of course, their machines aren't working so they are directing every car to the drive thru, whether they are doordash or mobile order. Or, if you want to wait in the heat then you can go wait by there door. The person who opened the door today was EXTREMELY rude as it seemed like it was an inconvenience to get the two drinks ordered. When we left there were about 15 cars in the drive thru. It wrapped around the restaurant to the window and then leaving was a disaster cause cars were blocking the only way out around the building. My drinks were good, but the service.... Do better Sonic employees. You guys ask for tips through the app prior to the arrival?? You had plenty of employees, from what was seen, to run out and take orders at the stall. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Cashier was very friendly over the speaker, very polite and listened perfectly to my order! Sonic's is a drive through restaurant so there's barely any atmosphere or ambiance. Though I will say that they chose a good location to be in at the corner of a busy street. I ordered the Sonic Double Cheeseburger, an Oreo Cheesecake Shake, and some Tenders. The burger was okay, that's about it. It wasn't anything very special. They didn't even put very much lettuce or ketchup on it. The tenders were a joke. They were so small for the price and they weren't even all that crispy! The fries were under salted but otherwise they were decent I suppose. The shake was the best part of the meal, but mostly by default. It was pretty good and big for the price, but that's it. Overall a pretty lacking experience. If it wasn't for the low price and the kindness of the employee than this definitely would have been a 1 star. Go only for the shakes and maybe the other drinks. read more

Decided to give this location another try. It's been over a year should be better. Nope. There was only 1 other car waiting. Took 20 minutes to get an ocean water and pretzel. As I sat at the window I'm watching 4 employees just standing in the middle chit chatting and playing on their phones. The whole reason I came to sonic was to get a drink with their ice. What came was a drink in a clear plastic cup with 1/4" of ice on top. Not happy. read more

Ordered at a stall, waited a very long time for someone to answer the button. Once ordered, the food was squished, cold and tasted like it was sitting there for hours. Thankfully they did remake it and the tater tot's (still tasted awful), there was a huge long hair in the burger after it was remade. This sonic is awful. read more

Worst experience ever!! Tried on multiple phones to order thru the app and it kept failing. So we tried out online - success! Get to Sonic, park in a stall, and get our food. Right off the bat... We are missing two drinks. Check the food, missing the meals that match the drinks. I check the receipt one meal didn't make the order altogether and the other was just missing. I informed them we were missing items and placed an order for the items that didn't make the order to begin with. The reordered items made it to us before the missing items of the original order. Finally to our lunch destination, and we are missing all the sauces for the chicken meals. If we visit again we will just be doing drinks. read more

A COMPLETE clown show! Everything always broken. Drive-Thru won't honor coupons or "deals". Check your order?? Wrong items, missing items, etc. I'm never going back! In this ROTTEN economy, you'd think the owner's would put a bit more effort into making it a worthwhile experience. Food is tasty if you can get it. Poor service and disinterested workers ruin whatever ambiance it may offer. read more

I'm sitting in the drive through, at the window as I'm typing this. I've been in the drive through lane for 35 minutes at this point and at the window and paid for for the last 10. I ordered a burger and a limeade. I'm still waiting and no one has come to apologize for the wait, the staff is all sitting inside on their phones waiting for who knows what. Not a good look. We'll see how the food is. read more

Smash burgers are tasty but not the buns disintegrates ! Fries and onion rings are really oily ! But I have to remember that it's fast food . read more

Omg guys I had a horrible day and thought I would go to sonic and get a sonic peanut butter blast to feel better. The guy asked what size I thought about my day and said large. I have never had a large but thought what the heck let's do it. I get to the window and he asks how I am and I say OK and he of course says "just ok?". I reply bad day. Then I say that is why I am getting ice cream. He said good call ice cream makes everything better and I smiled. The service was quick and friendly and the ice cream was very good and omg humongous. So much ice cream. Maybe can't finish it. Lol read more

I love sonic in general. They always have something I'm craving. There are not many choices in Reno, and this north Reno location is really all that's there, outside of sparks. It's very slow service here. I'm not sure why, and I hav been late at night, mid day, and morning. It seems to never matter, they are just slow. The reason I'm leaving this review is because we paid $0.50 for a sauce they didn't give us. The woman taking our order was also not very friendly. I know I should have checked the bag and it's not that big of a deal. It's just why I didn't give 4 stars. The long wait is why I didn't give 5. Other than that the skate staff is very friendly. The food has always tasted good as well. Just as expected. We have never had a terrible experience. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

The food at this location was good, but the experience overall was horrendous. We decided to eat outside on the tables. I pressed the button to order and about five minutes later an employee came out to take my order. He informed me they were out of jr hamburgers for the kids meal, but they would make it work. We received our food about 10 minutes later. Two out of three burgers were made correctly and we were missing items from our order. The kids meal had no toy in it and we weren't given any straws or spoons for the drinks. The employee had them remake the burger and gave us our missing items. All in all, it took about 20 minutes to have our completed food order. read more

This review is not as much for the food as it is for the young lady working at the drive thru. I'm probably going to spell her name wrong and for that I apologize but Shanika was such a sweetheart and so patient. You cannot hear at the drive thru speaker and items were missed when we ordered. So when we got to the window we had to go back through the order a couple times. She got everything and was so professional about it. Sonic.... Give her a raise! read more

Two stars just because my family really enjoys Sonic but we will not retire to this location. Today we pulled into one of the car spaces to order from the speaker. The driv thru had traffic but there were absolutely no customers that were parked. I ordered and the card reader was inoperative. 15 minutes later an employee comes out and says they "lost" my order. So she wrote it down on a piece of paper. Then 15 minutes goes by again and I realize two cars pulled in next to me on each side and ordered, received their order, ate in their car, and finished and drove away... at this point I push the button on the speaker and let them know I've waited for a half hour.. the employee on the speaker said she would give me one of the items for free since we waited so long. When she brought the order out, I asked , if one of the items were complimentary and she said "No, my manager wouldn't let me" Anyways I paid since I had a hungry child with me. read more

Always messes up our orders. Sometimes the service is awful as well, many rude employees. I fear for anyone who's allergic to something or cannot have certain foods due to religious affiliation to come here. I once came here and my shakes were melted. We ordered them at the Drive-In and waited ten minutes for them, only to find out they were sitting on the counter, melting. We came here today and our orders were completely messed up, except one drink. My shake had bacon in it, when it was supposed to go into a different drink. One shake was supposed to have banana in it and it didn't have banana at all. Will never come here again and possibly any sonic for that matter. read more

What's not to like, if there's tater tots! This was my first and many more trips to Sonic drive in. We were at a event to benefit Solace Tree which was very near and dear to the Cain family which hosted the event for Yelp Elites. Thank you Taylor for providing the site and for a very good cause! I got to sample many of their menu items like the corn dog, chili cheese dog, ched r peppers, mozzarella sticks, chili cheese tots and of course the tater tots and a first for their cherry limeade, real yum! I will be coming back for tater tots and the cherry limeade, those were my favorites! What a wonderful way to get introduced to some nice people and good comfort food. read more

Sonic Drive-In - the chili cheese dog mascot - Burgers Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

I have always loved this location of Sonic. But the past year and a half the service has really went downhill. Tonight staff making food was eating while making customer food, also checking their phone while making food, both against HEALTH CODE, and scrolling phone at the window. They close early without notice, and the last 5 times I have come here they tape a piece of paper on the parking order stalls, and say they are closed due to understaffing, come one, every time we come here? We are here now and are watching a staff member tape the same sign on the order stall . These stalls are one of the unique things about Sonic, come on guys, get it together. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Closed stalls AGAIN - Burgers Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

I received this drink after asking for more blue flavoring . The Styrofoam wasn't an extra charge. The person hung out the , that it was complements of the manager with no extra charge. I CANT BELIEVE YOU WOULD BOLD FACE LIE to a person over nothing. Like I said, I'm disabled, live alone, and really can't afford extra food on $1800.00 a month. You can keep the blue drink that I returned, and I threw the food I had at home. If you messed with my drink, what did you do to my food. I threw it away. I WONT BE BACK, AND KEEP YOUR BOLD FACE LIEER. (Keeps him away from my companys) read more

Ugh, I wish I looked at the reviews before I went here but alas here we are. A few things here: 1. It took them 15+ minutes to take our order in the stall. (The drive thru was busy and I was like eh whatever cut them some slack even though the drive thru was moving quickly.) 2. The food took a while as well. We were there for about an hour in total. Just to get our food to go home. We weren't eating there. 3. Forgot 2 food items, 1 drink, and the sauces requested. 4. Pressed the button. Waited for another 5 minutes. Then just left because it was taking so long. 5. Our food was TRASH. The chili dog looked like the dog had been sitting out ALL day and was dry AF. The chicken wrap had no chicken in it. It was literally crumbs of bread. So I feel pretty robbed as they didn't give us all the things we ordered and paid for. HUGE wasted of money and time since the waiting wasn't even for fresh good food. Hoping we can get our money back but they didn't give us a receipt either soooo The guy who brought our food out was nice so that's about the only good thing read more

i've been getting their Chili Cheese Coney hot dogs and they taste great! The price is good too.

We have been enjoying limeades and slushies from Sonic lately because you can order on the app, pull up to a stall and they bring them right to you. Bonus when you order in the app all drinks are 1/2 price, not just during happy hour. So now that the weather is warming up, take advantage of a cool treat at a very reasonable price read more

So. Slow. It always takes a minimum of 7-8 mins in the drive thru, and even ordering ahead isn't quicker anymore. I ordered my 2 slushes at 1:35, it passed 1:55 and I was still waiting for my order to be brought out. I can never enjoy my lunch break if I decide to come here because I'm so worried about being late. It also wasn't busy. They served 9 cars (sporadically) before I was able to get my watery, melted slush. read more

The service is hit or miss but the food is always great. Sometimes they have my food ready on time when I order through the app and sometimes I have to wait 15 minutes, but the one thing that is consistent is the food. read more

I am not sure why I continue to come to Sonic, or even bother with ordering ahead on the mobile app for that matter. They took everyone in the drive thru, even people who arrived way after we did, we waited an HOUR for our ice cream sundaes. On top of the poor service, the food was made horribly and they forgot one of my items. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

What wonderful customer service! Thanks so much to Jessica and Jasmine who were both so kind and helpful!! Thanks you Jessica and Jasmine!! I made an error and asked to see the manager who was very kind and understanding and took care of the issue. Our waitress was very kind and had the sweetest personality We ordered some hamburgers, fries and drinks that were half off during Happy Hour! I love the drive up menu's with speakers. Many times the wait staff will bring your food while on roller skates. it is reminiscent of the 50's. I have been here many times and many times through the drive thru. I have always had outstanding customer service. There is such a wide variety of slushes, shakes and slushies with ice cream. There is a variety of items for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love that they have fry sauce as I am from Idaho and all fast food restaurants there have fry sauce!! read more

I was out this morning running several errands; my last stop was Costco to fill up. Across the street, there is Sonic, so I thought, I have the app, and drinks are half-off when purchased on the app. Win-win right? WRONG! I ordered from the app and chose my pick-up time ASAP. I pulled in, checked in, and waited for twenty-eight minutes before someone would make contact. There was one car in the drive-thru and two vehicles that pulled in after me. I finally pushed to red button to speak to someone. After another five minutes, someone finally responded; I believe her name was Antonia. I explained to her I have been waiting for thirty-three minutes for my slushy. Then came outside and was apologetic, then informed me that it wasn't made because they were out of the Blue Burst and if there were another flavor I would like. She recommended the cherry, and I agreed. I waited another three and half minutes before she brought the drink back out, apologized again, and then I off. I have been to this Sonic multiple times, and this is my first bad experience. The fact I sat there patiently waiting while I watched multiple staff members serve other vehicles, and not once did any of them stop to think to check and see what I was waiting on, is sad. read more
