    Inside of steak and bacon grilled cheese. Looks nothing like what is in the ads.
    Brian C.

    Went during a slow time tonight (December 30, 2022) and was able to place my order fairly quick as there was only one vehicle ahead of me. I ordered the Jr. Frito Chili Cheese Wrap, the new Steak and Bacon Grilled Cheese combo with crispy tots. The only thing really edible was the wrap after I heated it up. The tortilla was ice cold, the cheese wasn't even melted inside. So I had to heat it up in the microwave to eat it. The Steak and Bacon Grilled Cheese does not look like anything in the ads or on the app. Seriously, looks nothing like it, false advertisement at its finest. The sandwich was cold and bread was somewhat spongy and not fresh. There was hardly any meat on it and it tasted odd. Needless to say, I wasn't able to continue eating it. The tots were cold. I asked for crispy tots and figured they would take the ones under the heat lamp and toss them back in the fryer for a minute or two to crispy them up. None of that occurred. I had to toss them too. It's very disappointing to see a great chain like Sonic serve up poor quality food. Especially when you are spending nearly $10 per meal there now.

    Here's my order of Jumbo Popcorn Chicken. Just Crust.

    I've been a fan of Sonic for some time. With that being said, this location seems to be falling in line with the other fast food chains that just don't seem to care about its customers. I usually just let the messed up orders slide, but this one ranks up there with a One Patty Big Mac with no sauce, or a Breast Meal from KFC that makes you look around for the rest of the pigeon. I ordered a Jumbo Popcorn Chicken, along with a couple of other items. The majority of the order of chicken was crust, no meat. Don't get me wrong, I like fried chicken with a good crust, but not this.

    Sonic has become a guilty pleasure for me. Whether it's Wings, a corndog, shake, or just a large drink, they are always a cheap, quick option that we like to stop by when we have a craving. The staff here are friendly. Lots of drive-in stalls to park at, and they have a drive-through option as well if you aren't wanting to park. Also, Sonic always has great deals or specials, so that's a plus as well.

    I'm not a big fan of sonic food. I only love the slushes. The food is not good to me. Everytime I get a hamburger, it seems to be over cooked and there is no flavor to eat. Tje tater tots and fries are the same way. Everything seems to be a bit bland. I think that they should only serve drinks because that's their specialty. The breakfast is not that good either. All the food is bland. The one thing that is good on their menu is the Hot Dogs. They extra slow when ordering. Sometimes it take 5 to 10 minutes just to get a slush. And if you order food that's 30 minutes. I don't understand why it take so long to prepare something so tasteless. I will just continue to go for the slushes. I don't even bother buying any food from them.

    Cramped space. Had to turn in my F150 side mirrors to fit.

    Open until 11PM but stop serving ice cream two hours before close. That's the only reason we visited this location. Won't try again.

    Never consistent. Don't waste your time. One minute they're open to orders through the app and stalls then the next day "drive thru only"

    Bendy's Cookies and Cream never disappoints! The first time my wife and I visited, it was just the…read moretwo of us on a date night. We were looking for a sweet treat to wrap up the evening and stumbled on this gem. The snickerdoodle cookies were soft, warm, and packed with cinnamon-sugar flavor. Paired with their creamy, rich ice cream--it was an instant win. We said right then and there that we'd be back. This time around, we brought the whole family to celebrate Father's Day, and we had a great time. Our son came in making a big fuss about wanting Teddy Grahams (of all things ), but we had something better planned--and Bendy's delivered. Once he got his ice cream in a waffle cone, he was all smiles and forgot all about the Teddy Grahams. Great ice cream, fresh-baked cookies, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Whether it's date night or family night, Bendy's is officially our go-to dessert spot. We had a great Father's Day, and Bendy's made it even sweeter.

I really wanted to try their ice cream sandwich but I just got 1 chocolate chip cookie and 1 banana pudding cookie. Yummm!! This was my first time trying the banana pudding cookie & I loved it so much! The.choc chip is always a solid choice. I like this location because it's so easy to get in and out of. The store is clean and has nice inside and out seating available.

    Bruster's has become our go to ice cream shop locally…read more We have been getting it almost weekly on Saturday nights for a treat and love many of the seasonal options. It is pretty easy to order ahead of time on the app. The only issue we have run into is sometimes they can't find our order if we arrive later than planned. Invariably it is always ready just can't always quickly find where they put it in the freezer. My favorite flavor is the Caramel Apple Crunch featured on the fall menu.

When we arrived, it was already pretty busy and remained that way the entire time we were here. People love ice cream; especially one a nice sunny day! My interaction with the staff was pleasant. The owner was on sight working. She was awesome and so kind. (Thank you for taking time to take the photo of the lovely wall art for me). Man, the menu has lots of sweet offerings!! I was super impressed because I really don't recall the other location in Vestavia having Italian ice or sorbet. Don't quote me on this. This is a great addition to the Trussville area. It's located on the end space of a busy strip mall. This is a perfect location!!! It can get kind of tight when the location is busy. There is a red bench out front while you wait. There is also additional seating available not far from the building. My mom enjoyed her turtle sundae( sorry no pics). The outside decor really will make it hard to decide what to order. The menu is well displayed, so that is helpful. First time coming here but not last. I will be sure to grab myself something the next time I'm in the mood for some ice cream or a sweet treat!
