I've been a fan of Sonic for some time. Over the last while, it seems they are falling into the 'less for more' category. Today's visit was for a sausage breakfast burrito. For the price, it was a disappointment. Well, even if less expensive it would have been pretty disappointing. Small in size, and not very full of anything. Top that off with blandness, and I'll pass on it in the future. Service was quick though. On a different note.... I still absolutely love their cheese sticks and will always come here to buy them...unless they start cheaping out there too. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Sausage Breakfast Burrito - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Spokane, Washington

What a joke. Jr cheeseburger was rock hard, paper thin and barely had any condiments on it. We weren't asked if we wanted any extra as in ketchup, mayo or mustard. Threw it away. read more

Horrible customer service, definitely sounds like she's put out by having to take our order. The way she spoke to us sounds like she's constipated. At ten dollars and change for a corn dog who needs that kind of attitude. read more

Great smash burger like the special deal not liking the construction to get to place but the food is worth it

Im a lover of their vast menu of sweet treats, there is something for everyone, but the last few times I've been disappointed. I ordered a cookie dough blast with extra cookie dough, simple, and what I've received is just a cup of vanilla icecream with a scoop of cookie dough sprinkled on top. More like a sundae topping. Not mixed, no extra. Ive repeated this order three times now thinking maybe it was just a training issue, but it's been the same every time. Am I the one misunderstanding what a blast is? Should I try a different location? read more

Their ordering system is down the only notice is a sign at the drive-through. Do not come here. Now Sonic is asking for photos why?

These guys are WONDERFUL. Fast service, tasty food, and they always, ALWAYS make things right when things go wrong. The other day I had an online order, I mentioned that my drink was suppose to be with no ice, said that it was fine and the WONDERFUL man bringing me my food said he'd make it right, took my drink, then came back with a bigger size with no ice. I didn't wine. I didn't ask for a manager. Just the mere mention of a problem means he jumped to not only fix the problem, but upgrade me for the extremely minor inconvenience. Companies need to remember this was (and should be) the standard. This experience means I'm coming back. Over and over again. read more

unbelievably bad service. I sat at one of the drive up kiosks for 25 minutes for an order of chili cheese fries. The kiosk did not alert me that the card that I used didn't properly scan. I continued to wait, extremely rude employee came out with my order and handed me the wrong food. As she walked away, I tried to summon her back because she gave me the wrong food. She ignored me and went inside. I went inside and asked them to give me the correct food. Rather than members made about how their system is not working, and their screen is not working and a bunch of other excuses. I voiced my frustration. Six employees came and began to criticize me. One overweight, black person with blue hair, pointed her finger in my face and was rude. One Hispanic guy with an unkempt mustache began me as well. I went back to my car after the one woman told me I need to talk to Wade tomorrow if I have any concerns. I refuse to eat this food for fear that they spit in it. They all looked like angry, angry, unhappy people. read more

Not entirely sure why a friend of the workers decided it would be a good idea to bring his motorcycle during the BUSIEST time (10pm) Almost every worker came out to say hi and to talk to the guy. We spent 45 minutes in the car stall right next to the guy with the bike and had to call the workers to let them know we haven't gotten our food. Somebody popped out the door to tell the dude talking to the bike guy that he needed to help us. Our food got delivered to us cold & milkshakes were warm. You can clearly tell our food had been sitting there for a while. Also part of our order was wrong. I have no problem telling somebody to do their job, especially when it's busy. Luckily for the guy that brought us our food, I didn't do that. Learn how to DO YOUR JOB. COME ON, ITS SONIC. read more

Rude staff and overcooked and dry food. Do yourself a favor and just go to the Wendy's instead.

The lady working the drive through was rude like I was interrupting her time. The chicken strips my I got my gf are dry like they've been sitting under a heat lamp all day. I've seen better quality food at a gas station read more

Sonic Drive-In - Crispy Chicken Tenders - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Spokane, Washington

This place used to be good. It is horrible now, expect to be scammed out of items after you spend money. I spent $50 for dinner for my family and I bought five pretzels and not one of them came with cheese and the manager would not even put down my name and info to come back next time to get something for there arrogance. GO ANYWHERE ELSE BECAUSE THIS PLACE DOESNT CARE ABOUT THERE CUSTOMERS JUST MONEY read more

Asked to make 2 separate orders, and the guy running drive thru said no. As somebody who worked in fast food for years, I've never done that. read more

Staff were nice and food was good. The payment machine didn't work and we had to pay with our waiter. It was a very small sonic with only a handful of spots to park, so be okay with a small wait. read more

I ordered a kids meal with two chicken nuggets and fries for my granddaughter, but one of the nuggets look like someone took a bite out of the end of it and they didn't give me the ranch dipping sauce, though they did ask me what kind of sauce I wanted. also, the fries were super cold and soggyand I didn't get mustard or anything for my corndog. I tried to call the location and the voicemail is completely full and would not accept a comment. We are staying in a local hotel for an event, and now my granddaughter has no dinner. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Chicken tender kids meal - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Where do I start. The order was wrong. The chicken was SOOOO old, you couldn't even bite into it. I asked for tots I got crinkled fries. I asked for a limeade, I got tonic water with 2 limes. Oh, and when we were ordering. The person at the drive thru kept saying, is that all, is that all after every item we ordered. Which tells me she wasn't paying ANY attention to us. I'm so sick and tired of these untrained, impatient staff who know once you leave the drive thru, you want actually come back to tell them they screwed up. These fast food places want to charge a LOT for their food, but when your service continues to suck, no one wants to waste their hard earned money. I will not go back to sonic in Spokane. The last 4 times were a complete and utter waste of my time and money. Train your darn employees to do their jobs. I'm beyond tired of this. read more

Love the smash burgers that we always get but the last two times I've gotten onion rings. They are so overcooked they're not even edible. And the ones we got tonight there were only six of them in a medium size order? Three of them were very small and three of them were very overcooked. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Only 6 onion rings in a medium order & 3 so overcooked they weren't edible. Other 3 over cooked too but edible. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Usually enjoy visiting Sonic during road trips. This sonic is clean but the staff is not very friendly. We ordered 2 #10 chicken bites meals which would normally come with your choice of sauce. However the order taker did not even ask us if we wanted sauce instead they just marked our order as no sauce. Our order came out and we had no napkins. We called back to the order taker to ask for napkins and sauce and were told that they would have to charge us for the sauce even though we were not given the chance to order sauce at the initial order. The order taker then ignored us and instead of at least bringing napkins to us. We left and probably will not be coming back. read more

Some how manages to get my one burger and two drinks wrong by adding multiple burgers and wrong sized drinks (some damn how) then gets pissed when I try to pay with tap when they literally have a sign that says they take tap pay. I don't get how shitty a person could be at customer service. read more

I spent $64 and they only gave me half of my stuff, they are poorly ran and need of a serious attitude adjustment, we heard the cooks screaming the whole time read more

Will not be going to this sonic ever again. Had Layla as my cashier at window with the worst service I have ever experienced. Never have I had anyone speak to another customer like that. read more

I ordered a blast which advertised says *mixed with "whatever". Mixed. I did not order a cup of vanilla ice cream with a little sprinkle on top. Didn't even blend the ice cream. It still took them almost 10min at the drive-through. Is this location owned and ran by children? It was almost $10 for that "shake with some topping sprinkled on top". Absurd. Not just once but literally every time they do this, food cold, stale in some cases, had to go back 3 times for fresh tots, seems they can mix ice just fine, (slushy) sooo? As you can see there is no try here. Managers there also just meh, they don't care. Um imagine what the cleaning must look like. Oof I won't be going back there unless this corporate office fixes the issues and gets back to me. Absurd. Not mixed at all, or even getting the right ingredients as advertised, dude at least give me what I pay for regardless of not mixing. What absolute garbage service, I'm always kind and respectful, I get it most are kids, but they just get paid to stand around and sometimes make a burger or fry some tots then leave them in a warmer probably over a couple hours, still selling them. Kids or not, why you hire ppl who can't, don't want to do their jobs? Clearly, no one there likes their job. Shows in the quality of food, speed of service, literally lack of smile on faces. No try what so ever. Seriously has anyone checked this locations Last health inspection lately? Im going to have to look into that. read more

Never been to a Sonic and I skipped breakfast, so, what the H . . . Drive through, ordered small fries and small onion rings just to see (and to hold me over until later). - Fries were small restaurant type but 'natural cut', not over cooked, good-very good. - The onion rings were a surprise; actual onion, not minced, a nice batter and cooked perfectly so that no bite pulled onion from the remaining piece . . . very good! EDITED 2 hrs later. The food gave me a belly ache, very rare for me, not really feeling like returning to Sonic any time soon. read more

Poorly managed, possibly due to worker shortage, but very confusing why the majority of the stations have furniture blocking them and signs up saying drive thru only. I have been ordering online before I arrive to try and save myself and the staff some time and stress but I doubt my food even starts until I get there as nothing happens arrived timely or at a correct temperature both cold food and warm drinks. Not worth the hassle given how many other fast food places are in this area. Don't blame the staff for poor management as they all look to be young people just coming in to get a paycheck read more

Asked for cheese fries add Baja sauce and got no cheese... Even simple things are hard for this place to get right. Plus the wait time was 20 minutes in the drive through. I expected it to be lame but not this bad. Way to go sonic read more

service was AWFUL. i ordered 2 drinks and the lady misheard me TWICE and charged me for a 3rd. i got to the window and politely said i only ordered 2 drinks. she then said ok and said i got a $3.20 refund. then i asked for a small cup of ice and she got it for me and shut the window. i asked can i have my refund and she said "it's only like a dollar do you want it?" very rude and inconsiderate, and i ended up paying $12 for 2 fountain drinks. i will not be going back! my drinks also had no flavor and they were filled to the top with ice. read more

The food was very poor and the bugers me and my wife ordered where dry like they had been sitting for way to long in holder the fries where so bad that we could not eat them the fry carton was so saturated in grease that it would leave grease on your hands this was the worst service I've ever had from a sonic and some one needs to go to that store and make sure that food standards are be followed and times are being followed before someone gets very sick. read more

Sonic has a lot better variety than most burger places. Not just chicken, but really good hot dogs as well. The bacon cheddar dog with grilled onions on a pretzel bun will surely be the death of me. If the chili cheddar tots don't end me first. Drive thru can be slow sometimes, but I usually hit it at lunch rush so kinda my own fault. Employees have always been friendly and engaging which is rare at burger huts. Prices are not horrible when you consider everyone has gotten more expensive. If you have been to a Sonic before you know what to expect here. They meet expectations of other Sonics I have hit up. read more

We pulled up to the Sonic on Ruby at 6:30 on Monday evening. There were about 10 teenagers inside cleaning and about 6 cars in the stalls. The service was horrible! Had to wait for someone to answer the call, they couldn't get the order right. We requested mini Trick or Treat Blasts and they put med on the screen but wouldn't answer the call again when we tried to correct. We sat for 20 minutes waiting and never received our order. read more

I seldom give national chains 4 stars... I am more strict on national chains than I am locally owned.... But I do expect more from locally owned restaurants... If that makes sense. With that being said.. Their whole theme... with the menu, the service on wheels, the options, it's fun! Very unique. Their staff are super friendly, and their food options are yummy! My wife's favorite thing? Thier ice... We've shopped around for a similar ice maker for home... It's serious! We've tried alot of their menu, especially with 2 kids in tow... It's all good! Wait... I take that back... I didn't like their grilled cheese... At all... but from burgers, to dogs, chicken sandwiches, wings (both bone and boneless) to shakes, italian sodas, stuffed tots, plain tots, french fries.... we've eaten here a few times! read more

I gave it one start because I couldn't give them none. Pulled up to the drive through to hear absolutely nothing. Not a "one moment please" "I'll be with you in a sec" NOTHING. So I say hello a few times, wait, say hello again a few times still nothing. So I pull up and there's a car leaving the window. I pull up the windows just swaying open and close and then some arrogant dude walks up to the window huffs and puffs and says "what can I do for you?" I tell him exactly what happened and he has the NERVE to say out loud "these people are so impatient" so I tell my husband no HELL no he is rude lazy and not to mention acted like he had a damn stick up his ass! Nobody forces you to get up everyday and come to a job you're miserable at you do that so don't take your life out on your costumers! Thanks a lot ETHAN AT THE DRIVE THRU for the absolute worst experience I've had at sonic. read more

Ordered from doordash and order wrong. The doordash even asked twice at sonic cause bag was too small to have 2 burgers and fries in it. They said yes its in there. We got the order and it had one order of mozzarella sticks nothing else...which we did not order and the receipt sonic taped to bag said it had the few burgers and fries all listed. They need to check the order. The doordash person did nothing wrong it was 100% sonic mistake. Check your orders! And when doordash person says the bag doesn't look big enough for the order your employees need to double check. Will not order from sonic again. Very lazy staff it sounds like. read more

Stopped in tonight after skipping dinner earlier. Ordered the patty melt. Got about halfway thru and then pulled a hair out of the cheesy middle of it. Now, I'm still hungry but have lost my appetite, so not about to ask for a replacement. And asking for a refund for $3 isn't worth it. Guess I'll stick to their drinks only. read more

Always a bad experience. Food comes out cold and taste like it's been microwaved. Any kind of blast will come with all of the candy on top, and not even half way down it is pure ice cream, they don't even blend it. Staff is rude, and can't get the order right ever. read more

Went to sonic for the first time. Couldn't be more disappointed. They messed up the order. The onion rings. Got some funky way to sweet taste. Chicken strips are not crispy. Won't bother with sonic again. read more

Awful just Awful. I used to work there but quit do to the unprofessional behavior of management, along with the multiple violations of health code. They have cooks cooking your burgers while sick. I have screenshots. When we tell them we're sick, we're treated as replaceable. They retaliate by docking us hours. We need change!!!! read more

Seriously? These reviews show just how desperate the Karen's are getting. Someone is really asking for a manager because her 'cookie dough blast' doesn't have enough cookie dough chunks.. not only is it sad, but also hilarious and you would think embarrassing. And you wonder why people don't want to work or be around the public. Other people are just the worst part of any job at this point. As for this Sonic itself, I've always had a great experience! If you aren't expecting more than what it is, which is fast food, then you'll be fine. Calm down Karen. read more
