    Grilled cheese was burnt, tasted like charcoal. How do you mess up a freak'n grilled cheese?! The ironic thing is, the last time I was at this location, my grilled cheese was burnt - wasn't about to go back and have them "fix" the heir mistake AGAIN. I won't be returning to this Sonic location again, Vista is FULL of other (and better) options for a quick meal pickup. Update: tried this Sonic (again), due to convenience and that's what my boyfriend wanted.....NEVER AGAIN!! My cheeseburger was ordered with NO onions and NO sauce of any kind (no mayo, mustard, ketchup, 1000 island, etc). I just wanted cheese, lettuce, and extra pickles. What I received was a cheeseburger LOADED with onions and swimming in sauce - YUCK!! Wasn't about to make the drive back to return it. Not willing to give this Sonic another try to get their shit together. Raw onion makes me literally sick, this location is incapable of cooking food to order - PERIOD!

    Pictures of bad food.  Also evidence that your information on your receipts does not work

    Your text information was on my receipt so I wanted to text you about my experience. Drive in #6007 Ticket#701725 My husband and I thought we would try Sonic due to the commercial we saw. We waited 15 minutes for our food. We were ok with that thinking that our food was being made fresh. Not the case! My cheeseburger was dry and salty with dry cheese... I could not eat it. My "cheese fries" were awful.... the container was 1/2 full.... I counted 14 fries with dry cheese. That cost me$4.39. My husband's triple smash burger was dry and too salty to eat. His onion rings were dry and burnt. This experience was awful! We spent $27.34 just to throw it away. We are very disappointed! I am sending a copy of this text that I am sending you to the website review and I'm also sending it to yelp. Above is a text and email posting to the information provided on the receipt. The number and email did not work as expected.

    This is a long overdue review for Water Shack. I stumbled upon this place a few years ago when I…read morewas craving a no frills mom & pop style burger. To my surprise Water Shack's burgers were delicious and satisfying that I find myself coming back here ever so often. Their burgers aren't the heavy, greasy/high fat patties you would get from other places. However, their 1/4 lb patties are their smallest patties and heft makes for that ideal bun to burger ratio. Did I need to order double patties on most of my burger orders? Probably not. Their patties are on the leaner side but they aren't dry; and the fixings from any burger you choose will satisfy that meaty burger fix you're looking for. The Chicken Patty Melt is also a very tasty item. Very cheesy, buttery and crispy toasted bread with chicken breast. Their fries and onion rings also come air-fried so this place focuses more on the healthier comfort food options that wont leave you feeling heavy and drowsy. This place is also doubled as a purified water dispensary and also serves baked goods and ice cream. Love this type of no-frills, unassuming place with very friendly staff and serves up some delicious food!

    We ate here last Thursday evening at it was great!…read more We decided to try it out for a casual dinner as we are new to the area, and saw it had some great reviews. My husband ordered the onion rings and pastrami burger, I ordered a Kraut doggie and garden salad, and my daughter got some fries and some thirty ice cream. We were all extremely satisfied with our meals, and my daughter of course loved the ice cream (and sprinkles!). The service was also exemplary. If you need a quick, casual meal, and are out and about in the area, definitely check this spot out! Locals describe it as a hidden gem.

My burger was messy but delicious and my wife thought that her burger was a bit bland. I never consider mushroom burgers an option, always the beef for me! Fries and onion rings were tasty. Next time I'll try their fig jam sliders, this sounds interesting. There's plenty of seating both inside and out. And it's dog-friendly...we might bring our corgi the next time we come. Yes, we'll return to try their other offerings.

    Party Burger is the burger place you never knew you needed. Omg, this place is outstanding!!…read more This little hidden gem inside a brewery was well worth it! Service was prompt and I loved the open aspect of it and seeing where the beer is brewed. Also love the decor and all the picnic tables and wine barrels for seating.

Both were absolutely delicious and the side of fries were well cooked and seasoned to perfection! Everyone that knows me, knows that I love a good french fry.

My 5-year-old was with me, who doesn't like burgers but can get down with a grilled cheese, so I asked whether they could make a "grilled cheese" with tomato and they were super nice and said no problem. I also ordered the standard Party Burger and a side of fries. Our food arrived at our table super quickly but that came with a caveat - maybe it's because it was mid-week they just prepared a stack of burgers ahead of time (hours ago?) in hopes it would carry them thru the evening - but my Party Burger patty was borderline cold. My daughter's "grilled" cheese was composed of unmelted cheese slices (see photo). She ate hers anyway, but I was feeling pretty wary about the holding temp of the meat on my burger and ended up trashing most of it... it was pretty much a waste of $12. The fries were the star of the show - piping hot and well salted. I would order those again for sure. The Party Sauce was a great dipping option. I would consider eating here again but possibly trying the wings which looked pretty good, or asking that this time my burger be made-to-order.
