This review isn't regarding the food, but the service. Well, lack there of. Myself, my husband, and my two kids came in just now to get a late bite to eat. We walked in-we wanted to sit at the tables outside-and two of the female workers came around from the back, one of them swearing quietly, but enough for me to hear it. Nothing terrible, but enough for me to be annoyed my kids were in ear shot to hear it. Both the female workers saw us and then walked in the back to never return. A male worker came out to deliver drinks to diners inside and then he disappeared. We stood there for 5 minutes and not a single person came out to even take our order, even after seeing us come in. We left and are now heading to the Latham store where we will hopefully actually be able to eat. Update: Went to Latham and at least got served. The guy behind the counter was very nice, but didn't seem to be able to handle taking orders. It was a painfully slow process. Got our food quite quickly after it was finally input, but I was really disappointed with the food. I honestly couldn't even eat mine. I ordered chicken tenders which are generally hard to mess up, but they were almost stale and soggy tasting and flavor was gross. The pretzel twist wasn't bad, but the cheese dip was about as artificial as you could get and I couldn't eat it. Kids burgers seemed good and they had no complaints. We tried it, but will head somewhere else next time. read more

Good place for shakes and drinks. Food isn't bad if drive-in is your thing. I'm typically happy with Sonic, but this location is disappointing. Very, very slow service. I sat at the drive thru kiosk waiting to order for so long that my phone call to the manager was almost answered. And the four cars in front of me took long enough that I had time to think about reviewing the location and so here it is (still waiting Btw). read more

Pulled in and parked in car hop. Waited 20 minutes before parking and going inside for service. No employee present and a line of customers with a bell to ring for service. After 20 minutes of ringing bell and witnessing cars go through drive through an employee finally came out. 45 minute total wait for food from start to finish. $24 for the mess we received. Items in food boats put vertical in bag, making a total mess unpacking. The staff was rude and it certainly wasn't fast food. Save your time and money. Disappointed all around! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Asian Sweet Chili Boneless Wings Tots - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Troy, New York

Slowest service ever, waited nearly 30 mins at the stall to have no one answer us. So went inside to order and even then after ever single item they would ask is that all. They even messed up our orders. I would understand if they were busy, but there was no one at the drive thru, and besides my car; there were only 2 other cars. And they also ended up getting out of their cars to order inside. For us to wait an additional 20 mins for the food. Been to many other Sonics before but never had service been this slow. Don't even waste your money coming to this location. read more

Absolute trash. You're better off going to a sit down restaurant then going through the drive-thru because you will wait just as long. 0/10 would not recommend. read more

Do not live in Troy, passing through back to VT. We decided to stop at Sonic for a bite on our way home. Pulled into the carhop , decided what we wanted pressed red button. Gentleman came in speaking very fast and unintelligible. Excuse me my husband asked what was that? Only heard a portion of what was said again. We finally comprehended the carhop was closed. If we wanted to order we had to go through drive through or order inside. We opted for inside BIG MISTAKE!. No one at counter. Had to use restroom. It is locked and an employee has to unlock it. What the heck. If customers using the bathrooms is an issue maybe just maybe if this place had the front end staffed possibly be able the monitor the bathrooms. DUH! We then tried to order our food, the kid and I mean kid taking our order was talking so fast that both myself and husband had to ask him repeatedly what he said. I explained to him he was talking way to fast and that it was difficult to understand him. I think he took that as a challenge and spoke even faster. When I asked to speak with a manager , he asked why and then stated he was assistant manager and that he was very busy. Well let me tell you there was one other couple and 1 gentleman in the place. Not a good excuse. We waited at least 20 minutes for our food. It was definitely not fast. Food was mediocre. But the service was horrible. Have never been to Sonic before and will never go again. read more

Me and a group of friends went today and they brought our food out pretty quick but forgot multiple things plus didn't give us a receipt. So we sat for 20 mins waiting for someone to pick up the intercom to get our items. They ignored us (after we tipped them already) then we ended up leaving without our items. I will not come back, Dairy queen is still superior franchise. read more

Worst Sonic ever!!! Pulled up to the carhop and pushed the button for service. Waited about 10 minutes and nothing. Hit the button again and waited. Happened to catch an employee delivering food to another vehicle and he said he'd find out why our button to order didn't work. Came back a couple of minutes later and said his manager said the carhop was closed and we'd have to go through the drive-thru. We had waited about 20 minutes. Waited another 10 minutes at the drive-thru to order and when we placed our order for a couple of drinks and shakes we were informed their ice cream machine was down....seriously. Waited over half an hour to drive away with nothing. 0 out of 10. read more

I finally tried it. It was gross. The fries are terrible and mine were overcooked. I ordered onion rings..yuk. The burger was sloppy. The strawberry lemonade was the best part of the meal. It was my one and only visit. read more

I won't be coming back until they get their act together. It took over 20 minutes to get my order (a slush, large fry and 2 little griller things). The lady next to me had been waiting over 30 minutes and my order came out before hers. When I placed my order I asked if they had menus I could take with me. She said they'd run out at the counter but would go get me one before my order came out. After about 10 minutes she still hadn't gotten one so I asked one of the food runners for one. She said she didn't know where they kept them but the girl at the counter overheard me asking and said "I told you I'd get one". She never did but I wasn't about to wait even longer for that after I'd waited so long for my order. read more

Trying the new sonic now with my family. We are all very satisfied. Nezzy was amazing. The food was great. So much better then the other local establishment. Thank you. read more

I had to wait about 5 minutes just to order at the drive through(like with my car parked at the order speaker, not in line, literally sitting there waiting to order) then the wait for my actual food was even longer... I go through the drive through to eat quickly, I was really disappointed read more

I love sonic for there ice cream Sunday and shakes! But unfortunately every time I order at the drive threw it's just ridiculous how long I wait for a shake or ice cream Sunday !!! And not to forget it's always after 8pm and day of the week no matter when it's 8-9-10-11 every time I'm waiting 20 minutes !!! I thought it was just the drive threw so I tried ordering inside at the counter it didn't matter I still waited 20 minutes !!! This place is always upside down this place needs a new night manager or employees . It's fast food not a restaurant!!! read more

Don't even bother. Waste of your time, they take forever and when you get you finally get your food it's wrong. The only thing they got right was the waters. read more

I was there late last month, and the gentlemen who I tried to explain my minor issue with, coped an attitude and I overreacted to this south end of a horse facing north and we exchanged words and a young lady who works there taking her break witnessed this exchange and told me this gentlemen is not very cordial to anyone read more

If I could give no stars I would. Waited for a few minutes in the 2nd drive thru lady said she would be right with us. Waited 20 minutes. Nothing. Person behind us goes to the other speaker gets service right away. Tried to talk into the speaker. Nothing. We left. read more

I love sonic but this location is sadly a disappointment. I waited over 20 min for just a Dr. Pepper..... wouldn't of waited that long but paid early with a card. Was extremely disappointed. read more

Worst sonic ever! Took 45 minutes to get my food(that they got wrong) absolutely no customer service! The lady was rude when handing us our food. I'll never go to this sonic again. read more

First visit to this location when I got home my order was wrong. Called store spoke to Greg and he took care of my order for my next visit, was polite and professional when i called. I went back a few days later to have my replacement order Greg was not there but the manager who was had no problem finding Greg's note and was again polite and professional (I dont remember his name) I ordered again today Greg took my order he was again polite and professional my food was hot fresh and tasted great service was fast. Even though my first order was all messed up I still give 5 stars for the excellent service I have had in 3 seperate visits and the ease in getting the messed up order fixed. Thank you Greg! read more

Tried to get ice cream on two different occasions weeks apart and both times they were out of ice cream. Both visits were at 9pm. Why even bother advertising half priced milkshakes after 8pm if you can even fill the demand? My guess is that they prematurely turn the machines off and just said they are out. Tried 2 times to give them my business... a third time would make me an idiot. read more

We love sonic we live 40 minutes away and we still go there at least twice a month. The staff is always super friendly, the food is great and the price is right!!! read more
