Love this Sonic Drive-In. It's always busy here but there are a lot of drive in booths and usually you won't have to wait to get a spot because there are so many. Turn around time is super fast because they serve you (once you order) really fast. I ordered a large amount of food and within 10 minutes all of our food came out. I personally don't like the fries at sonic so I always substitute for the tater tots, which are BOMB. I got the Oreo cheesecake mini and wasn't too fond of the flavor (could just be me) but the hot fudge sundae milkshake is AMAZING! read more

The best part is watching your food get delivered to your car by a guy with roller skates. I don't know why I find it so entertaining but I love the retro vibes. I always end up getting the all american hot dog and onion rings. The onion rings are really good and probably my favorite out of other fast food places. They also have decent shakes here if you're ever in the mood for a cold drink. read more

The last time I had Sonic was around 5 years ago. I swore off it because is was so overly salty. The fries, burger, chicken strips and maybe the milkshake, kidding. But I gave the NEW local Sonic and am proud it's not as bad as I remember. Well the strips so far but I'll be trying more since I pass it every other day with my 8 year old. read more

It's not possible to give you a zero, and for that reason I give you a 1. We waited a whole hour for $50 worth of food. There were cars that had pulled in after us, getting their food served when me and my friends SPECIFICALLY did mobile order to avoid this situation from happening. We had our food given to us, and then the KITCHEN--not the guy-- forgot my corndogs. When they got them for me-- it was only 3-- I bit into the first one and it felt weird. Not tasted-- felt. The dough was way under cooked, it was just a fried shell. Went home and had to air fry all the food to re heat it because all the food was semi warm/cold when we got our order served twice to us. I even asked the guy if I could come to the door with him to just grab it and go and he said no "you can't take your food from the door, I have to give it to you" like what is actually going to happen by me waiting 5 feet from the door for someone to grab the PRE MADE mobile order so I can just go. If anything it would have made their job easier by eliminating another customer. $50 for cold, and under cooked food? We didn't even ask for a refund because what's the sense of waiting longer? Please, I go to sonic often (not this one) and I know how good their food is to us but do not go to this location. It's a little extra driving but it's worth the no hassle, no waiting, no complaining. This Sonic location is the tip of the ice berg on why workers in the food industry need to be paid more. There was legitimately only ONE guy doing all the serving, but there were tons of women walking out of the store just to look outside and walk back in. Ridiculous! Avoid this location at all costs. Go to another Sonic, everywhere is better than them. Faster, nicer, and transparent with their customers. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Undercooked corn dogs that had to be properly cooked at home. Good job Valley Stream Sonic.... Good job. - Burgers Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

Fast food. Not a fan normally but I do indulge and I'm picky. How can you be picky on fast food? Dont ask just read. Now , this was so ca-yuteee! You drive in, place your order and a teen roller skates to you with your food! I asked her "can I sit in my car and eat?" She was so nice about it, smiled at my silly question and said "yes and enjoy"! She said it with a smile and she skated away. I got a cheeseburger and fries. Fries was to damn salty but my burger was very good. The do a combo of Mayo, Ketchup and Mustard along with the usual works. I was impressed. I mean...your food on roller skates...how cute read more

Ordering was simple. The screen however did have delays. The wait time between ordering and getting our food was about 15 minutes. Understandable though because while waiting more customers arrived. The Oreo cheesecake master shake did taste as described. However the cheesecake part did taste a bit too buttery and could have been sweeter. Will definitely come back to try more though. read more

We all know what we're getting ourselves into when we decide to eat here. "Food" at Sonic is exactly what you would expect it to be. What you may not always expect and probably should start expecting is the horrible customer service. You thought from the name and drive-in expletive that Sonic would be fast? Think again. You thought a small order would take less than an hour to arrive? Think again. Asking the status of your order here is a sin. They will refuse to talk to you and hang up the intercom. Then if you try to call them again, they know who not to answer anymore. This is the kind of place that could possibly spit in your food out of spite. If you want to live life without being treated as a subhuman then go somewhere else. read more

Literally the biggest build up turned into the biggest disappointment every time! When the line isn't insanely long we stop here every once in a blue mood. We popped in last night for a midnight munch and it was just bad.....besides the chicken fingers lol. Our order came to us in decent time but my credit card wouldn't process in the drive up which was annoying. My boyfriend got a shake but they were out of spoons....what the hell?? So weird. We got home to eat and I bit into my mozzarella sticks just to find nothing inside of them. Yeah. They were as hollow as a tin can. My chicken fingers were actually bomb but the sauces they have are disgusting. Oh well. Won't be back here again haha. read more

Sonic has your back with their gooey toasted mozerella cheese sticks. I seriously love their mozerella sticks and they are the BEST, let me repeat. These are the BEST mozerella sticks you can ask for. Had them for like a couple of times and I fell in love with their cheese pull and consistency. Unlike Burger King, where sometimes there is no cheese pull at all or no cheese inside of the bread. If you want real mozzy sticks, you gotta have them from Sonic. read more

I don't really care for the food at Sonic. I gave the place two stars because the staff is really nice. Every time I go to this location, I feel welcomed but the employees. I also gave a star for the root beer floats. Delicious. read more

Don't show up here expecting it to be a drive thru like in the 60s. Its also not a drive thru in the south or west coast. Its long island that being said. Its not Jersey so thats a win. Its a great drive thru experience and one that I think everyone should have. Food is good its sonic. If you have been in new york your whole life try it out cause unless I am wrong its the only one we got. They are pretty quick with the food they skate it out to you in no time. My wife had a problem with her burger and the manager walked up to out car immediately and had it taken car of. My only issue is that its a newish place so everyone is new and probably in high school so patience is a must but they try and most succeed. Lastly its not even their fault but a sign would help drive thru etiquette please turn off your lights it only makes sense when your facing another car trying to enjoy their meal. Have fun. Play a movie or show in the car. Take the kids. Take someone special. Just got get a slushie cause they are amazing. Enjoy. read more

Sonic Drive-In - I was hungry and the hot dog did not last long. I also had to order another bigger cherry mango slushie. Yum. - Burgers Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

Decided to stop at this Landmark Restaurant off the side of the highway. Was inclined to try one of the scrumptious menu items that was clearly a culinary masterpiece. I was at a loss for words when I found out that this location had low Stars. I was mesmerised at the skating abilities of our server. I was shocked to find out that I would be unable to have my wedding party here. You can forget Bobby Flay, Emeril, and Wolfgang Puck and the likes. This place is the real deal! I don't see why Weight Watchers doesn't sponsor this place. The funny thing is we were the only people here and we still had an hour-and-a-half wait the service was amazing. Don't mind the cold fries... it was only 87 degrees out. read more

Always a great place to go!! I always had to wait for somebody to go this way when I was younger. I got my own whip & do me. Now that SONIC is closer to my neighborhood (used to go to Deer Park when it first came to NY) I'm here a lot more often. Great food & service all around!! Hot & fresh & shakes are always thick & delicious!! Ordering ahead is always a plus!! They have coupons that pop up often for half price new items, free items, & other reward goodies to always have you come back for more!! Highly recommended & does not disappoint!! read more

This was my first visit to a Sonic. I'm going to be as blunt as the thoughts that went through me head while I ate my food. I definitely like the modern, pull-up-and-eat-in-your-car feature. It was really cool, and it didn't take long at all to receive my food. Though the space is quite cramped for dine-in-car, and drive through. & I'm going to say it's because the location is pretty new, it was really crowded. The downside? The most boring burger I have ever eaten. I'm guessing it's a chain fast food thing ( they get, serve, and prepare the same foods), but I just would not do it to myself again. There's no flavor, & nothing unique (except blandness). If I went again, I'd have to try the corn dogs or shake. But as I absolutely love cheeseburgers, I won't be returning for that disappointment. read more

Honestly this Sonics need better management and customer service skills! I'm not sure what kind of people you guys hire but you need to do a better job. The food sucks and the drinks are usually watered down. I don't want to be waiting on the drive thru line for over an hour just to get my food. It's ridiculous! How do you expect people to come back for your services when you guys clearly don't know what you're doing?? read more

The second sonic restaurant in my area, this Valley Stream location, recently opened so I had to come check it out. As with the Deer Park opening, it's pretty crowded, long lines at the drive-in and long waits for food. However, it's a pretty cool experience, their menu is filled with bargains and the food tastes pretty good too. Being that it was mid afternoon and I wasn't starving, I took advantage of a very cool corndog special. They're already $.99 at this time but they also knock them to half price for the opening. Between 2 and 4 PM drinks of course are also half price. So I got a nice bag of food for just over four dollars. Sweet! read more

First time I ordered here the food was ok the milk shakes were pretty good. This time I ordered two Double Cheese Burgers with fries, a Cheesecake shake, Cookie Dough milk shake and Buffalo Popcorn Chicken. The shakes were the only thing good. The burgers did not live up to our expectations. And neither did the popcorn chicken. I was expecting better taste. The burgers seem to have absorbed the disposition of the staff. I say that because there is no energy. Moral seems low at this place and it is transferring into the food. This place needs an energy boost. Staff should be happy and want to come to work. Sonics is supposed to be an experience... read more

Service ok , chicken was definitely fry while frozen. Overall this was the worst fast food I had in a long time.

Today at approximately 11:00 AM, my husband and I used the park and eat area to place an order. My husband used my card to make the payment. After a few minutes, the server delivered the food to the car, and we were informed that Stall #9 card swipe was not working. The server stated "Sometimes the swiper does not work". As a result, I gave him a $50.00 bill to pay for the $26.00 order. The server left, and returned to the car and gave me a total of $3.00 dollars change. I said to my husband that this amount is not correct, so I went to the employee section of Sonic and informed that the change was wrong. A few minutes later, the server gave me the remainder of the change. I was disappointed because of poor customer service as it pertains to being given the incorrect change and the server's inability to say thank you for the tip he received prior to the drama. It would be recommendable for the servers to be trained on effective customer service while ensuring that they give the correct amount of change to customers. read more

This was my first time visiting this location since this is the only one in the nearest 20 miles from us and I will NEVER be visiting again. We came here at 11:30 pm on a Saturday night and was disgusted my the level of attitude we received without the second item I was ordering. I know i shouldn't expect much from the area because I've always had a bad experience around here but sheesh! We had a large order and advised them from the beginning of this and yet she kept asking "is that it?" Being very snappy. I feel that if you are not happy with your job or what you are doing then please avoid working and let others who really need it step in. Do not ruin someone else's experience because of your incompetence. read more

I had the 'Sonic Reece's Blast', size small. ($4.45)Could never try it in L.A since it was so far from where I live, but I had the opportunity to try it in NYC, and it wasn't bad! The Reece's flavor was very soft and creamy, the peanut butter solids very good! It reminded me of the discontinued 'Reece's McFlurry' at McDonald's, but way softer, had this light touch to it. Never the less it was still a great treat to have in the rain! read more

So Ima start off wit the good. My server was really polite and the line moved faster than I expected for a late Friday nite. I waited 20 minutes altogether from the line and receiving my food. Now lets get to the food. They need to take this place right back down south or wherever Sonics comes from. This was a fancy serving of school lunch. Im sure public schools and Sonics have the same suppliers for their food. I never had this so I ordered a bit of everything. Mozzarella sticks, a chili cheese dog, onion rings and a Sonic burger. The best part was the napkin that I spit my food in. My hotdog tasted boiled and not fully cooked. The beans had to be spilled out of a can and not heated at all. The onion rings got a sweet batter on it, not a fan of that. The burger is made outta cardboard. Im pretty sure about that. Oh but at least the mozzarella sticks was warm. I couldn't even finish my food. It taste so wrong to be eating this mess. Just stick to the basic NY fast food if you have to eat it. This wasn't worth the hype. read more

Going to Sonic is always fun for me because living in Bronx we don't have Sonic and the closest one is this one in Queens. I was forced to order the new 4th of July slushee by lovely,dear friend and as the server came rolling up to the car I knew I was going to be disappointed. It looked nothing like the commercial which I understand is never an accurate depiction of reality but at least be similar and achieve the tri layered design I'm paying for. Anyways let's just say most of it ended up in the garbage. Besides that everything else I ordered was good. Love,love the pretzels from here, in fact I orders two. The fries are one of the reasons why I make this trip all the way out to Queens. And the Buffalo chicken bites were good but it would be nice if they were tossed in the sauce before serving to the customer. I'm sure I'll be back to this Sonic shortly. Reminds me of summer going to Sonic and sitting in the drive up menu with my loved one. read more

First time at a sonic and my experience was great. Instead of feeling rushed at regular drive thrus, this "park your car and decide" deal was so much better. It was also nice to just sit in the car in our spot while we devoured our grub! We took the time to determine what our party wanted and all that was required was the push of a button when we were ready to order. Within seconds someone answered, we paid right at our station, and was notified when our carhop was on the way. We briefly met with our carhop who was super friendly. I don't know if tipping is customary here, but I gave cash anyway. Our order was large but everything was right. The boneless wings with asian chili sauce were amazing and my double cheeseburger was the most perfect fast food burger I could've asked for. Someone had the chicken sandwich but it was smaller and not as tasty according to them in comparison to the popular joints. Personally, I would not try the chicken sandwich based on its presentation. If it's the end of a long day/week and I'm feeling for some grease, I wouldn't mind making the drive. read more

This is the worst sonic every time we go there the service is atrocious. We waited for 40 minutes we were finally able to call the hop over he said stall 15 got it I'll be right back 20 minutes later not one word. We tried calling them over. They look like we had ten heads. This happens everytime here then when we get the food it's cold and wrong . Instead of waiting this time we left . We will never come to this location again& we will tell every person to spread the word do not go to valley stream sonic. I'd rather travel from brooklyn to massapequa or deer park. It's very disappointing. This was at 900 at night wasn't even crowded . There is no excuse. read more

Highly disgusted HAIR IN FOOD! First of all let's start with the cashier over the intercom. There was no "Hi welcome to Sonics", instead I got a very rude what do you want? Ok cool really don't care your mood does not affect me, besides I get it a bunch of kids working there bound to be some attitudes. (Ironically that's one of the things I like about Sonics they employ the youth.) However there are rules and regulations that should be followed especially at a food establishment and they should be held to that standard. Finding hair grilled into my burger is unacceptable. I vomited, threw $30 worth of food away, had to spend more money on food. Thanks Sonics I guess you did RUIN my day after all! Won't be back for that's the 3rd strike for this location.‍& just to drive the point home take a look yup that's it!!! read more

Food was eh, service was worse, the wait was only about 5-10 minutes so not too bad. Wouldn't recommend

i've been to this sonic time and time again, and it's been disastrous almost every time. The drive through lines are ridiculously long and wait times are about 30 mins waiting. The food is okay, nothing spectacular, but the real show stealer would be the sonic blasts. They're worth the wait!!!! I'd definitely come back for the ice cream, but nothing else. read more

Overpriced fast food. I've never been to a Sonic before and although I've seen their commercials, I've never had the urge to really find how what their food or drinks taste like. With all this tech, I can't believe we still have to speak to someone to order our food. Why can't we simply order on our phones and then the person can skate on over to the car.. So after doin some grocery shopping, D wanted Sonic so we drove by...they have happy hours, deals on certain days and holiday discounts but whatever deal that is on their site might not be available. I wasn't goin to wait for HH.... So L tried their classic hot dog with tots for $2.99 since they wouldn't give us the burger. D ordered a bacon burger, tots and a shake. The guy skated over with a small bag and a shake. Seriously? For $17?? Wtf. Might as well spent that on Shake Shack. We didn't even get the tots, they gave us fries. The hot dog didn't taste good. Definitely wasn't beef, like those cheap mystery meat hot dogs that people should be afraid of. The fries were salty. Ate them cuz we paid for it. I felt nauseous on the ride back home. Tried a tot, was actually very crispy, better than the fries. Would I go back? Maybe to check out happy hour, otherwise, no! read more
