Disappointment I'd been seeing ads for a banana pudding shake for weeks and got the fam to take a drive after dinner for a treat. Sorry, they stopped serving it last week. (But it was still an option to order on the website) So we made some new picks. I got a peanut butter Oreo shake which was delish. My step daughter got a pb chocolate shake along with a dripping mess with a hole in the bottom of the cup. My wife got a hot fudge sundae and they forgot the fudge. A manager fixed the issues promptly but it was just an overall mess. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

I ordered a lemonade with the strawberry fruit light ice received. It went onto my appointment, which was 15 minutes away had to get to it. I drank the lemonade that was in there and when I got done with my appointment, I went back to Sonic to show them that the cup was 3/4 full of ice even still The manager told me there was nothing she could do about it because I drank it so my thought is, why would I buy it? If I wasn't gonna drink it first of all why wasn't she kind enough to go ahead and just refill it again to fix the problemnevertheless, check your cups if you order light ice they ain't gonna do shit about it otherwise. Everyone have a great day. read more

Terrible service. Placed order online and was told to pull into stall. Push the red button and a carhop would be right out. I pulled in stall. I Was told to pull into the drive thru. It was 5 cars ahead of me. What's the purpose of the online app? Terrible Ambiance. Food cold and awful. Onion rings taste like Ice cream. I will not return and I advise you to do the same. read more

After not having been here for a long time, I took a chance and went to Sonic for lunch so I could try the limited time grilled cheese burger and broccoli cheese tots. I placed the order for those items, along with a bacon breakfast burrito, on their app six minutes before I arrived. Credit where credit is due. The food was made correctly and was brought out to my car only two minutes after I checked in. There was a lot of seasoning salt on the burger patties, but otherwise everything tasted good. Maybe this is a sign that things have changed since I last visited or maybe I just got super lucky. I hope it's the former, not the latter cause I really do want to like Sonic, especially since this is the last location in the Milwaukee area. read more

The food was garbage. I placed an order online and gave a half hour notice and it still took another half hour for my food to come out to the drive-thru. Everything I highlighted in this photo is what I was missing. I was missing multiple items and items that I did receive taste like trash. It was cold and unflavored. Half the kitchen was outside chatting with her friends while multiple customers were waiting to be served. Not a single item I tried was even worth the money I spent. read more

The guy that took my order was so nice and took our order with such grace. I order a Cloney footlong and the Hotdog was a Cold Dog, and the Chili was old. UGGH Then I ordered a Double Cheeseburger which tasted like FISH, it was dry, and had very little condiments. I was just in Nashville and omg they set me up to come back to Milwaukee to this MESS!!! read more

Suffering from short staffing, you can expect long slow moving lines and some order errors. Not worse than the other fast food choices around here. Lots of nonrecyclable packaging and they ignore you if you ask them to not give you straws or condiment packets. read more

First of all, this location isn't being maintained. Second, their service sucks. Had to go thru the drive thru 3 times for 4 chili dogs. Hardly any chili and old dogs. read more

Sonic has lost its luster! The place is run down, the food is terrible to put it mildly and the staff just don't give a damm. Who ever owns this franchise has dropped the ball on many levels. Im going to miss the old sonic I so fondly remember, it's a shame a great go to for the best burgers ever has fallen by the wayside. Rest in peace sonic. read more

This location is horrible. I waited 12 minutes after pushing the red button to place my order. I then placed my order online at 7:54pm. It is now 8:34pm and NO food has been brought out to me. I spent $20.05 on food and been waiting 40 minutes. DO NOT COME HERE! read more

Order food on the app i had 6 cup items when I bad attitude and said "I don't know how they work do you can't have one". Attitude was so bad i was missing a food no one answered the phone to talk to. Tater tots were gross. And no one had on a mask, our server was not wearing a mask either. So disappointed Please don't go here not worth it. read more

I legitimately don't understand why I still come here when the service is always such a huge let down. The food is only decent half the time. Why? Why do I continue to come here when I'm continually disappointed? read more

My girlfriend and I were craving something sweet but didn't know exactly what we wanted. Then all of a sudden we both see a Sonic ad on our social media Feed and what do you know, they solved our problem. We came for the half priced shakes they have every night starting at 8 p.m. I ordered a large Oreo shake which came out super fast and was very tasty! Overall, a nice preview of what my summer nights will look like just wished they had bananas so I could enjoy my favorite flavor, strawberry banana. read more

have not gone to this one because it's far from my house but I went to the one on S. 27th St. a few times before they closed it. Food was garbage most of the time. It took forever to get it. I remember one time the person at the window was gabbing away with someone in their car, who was out of the car....dancing around as she laughed hysterically and people were just in awe as they waited in line to get their food. Sonic is a joke to me. If they open one up anywhere close to my home, I wouldn't bother going. they put a sonic in on Howell ave in Oak Creek four or five years ago, and it was the same mess! Didn't take long for that one to be gone...:) read more

By far the worst drive in experience I've had. I pulled into a stall and pressed the order button, waited, and then the call tone simply stopped. I think they were rejecting my request to order from inside. I tried several times, even moving to a different stall to try, and when I finally got through, it was after waiting for another 10 minutes for a response from a human. I ordered a meal with chicken strips, fries, Texas toast and onion rings. The wait for the meal was over 20 minutes... I had no idea if they just took my money and forgot about making my order, and couldn't come into contact with the kitchen through the sonic box. My friend went to the main counter at the restaurant itself, and while the employees made frequent eye contact with her from across the kitchen, they never approached her or said they would take her order at any point. Meanwhile, my order finally came to the car. However, there were no onion rings, and my Texas toast came unbuttered and unseasoned, and was literally just a microwaved piece of toast. The chicken strips and fries were good, and the drink was fine... but no receipt. I couldn't go to the kitchen and say I was missing things from my order because I couldn't prove I actually bought anything. Not a good experience for my first time at Sonic. In the future I'll elect to enjoy their commercials instead of giving them another chance to serve enjoyable food. read more

I live in Green Bay so I drove 2 hours to Milwaukee. I went there just to go to Sonic Drive-In. I seen all the terrible reviews but I still went. The stalls weren't working because there where understaffed so I went in the drive-thru. The staff was so nice and welcoming! The food came out really fast! It was SO good! I don't understand the hate! This is a new review so if you are around that area please go! It was AMAZING. read more

So, another place ruined. Went there for lunch. The girl at the drive through was laconic to put it generously. Apathetic and lazy is probably more accurate. Should have been my first clue. I ordered a hot dog an onion rings. So when I got to the drive through window, the same girl looked half asleep. She took my card, ran it and returned my card with drink. She thrust both out in one hand, forcing me to awkwardly clutch it two-handedly or risk having items drop. She offered no assistance. An automated arm would have done similarly. When my hotdog and onion rings came, she similarly thrust the food out in a way that forced awkward handling. I didn't realize passing food through a window was a skill, but she didn't have it. All of this could have been forgiven if the food was good. Well, I can't forgive. The hotdog was lukewarm and the bun was wet and mushy. The bun disintegrated when I tried to pick it up. The onion ring batter is sweet, presumably to be balanced by a generous helping of salt. Perhaps they ran out of salt just this morning. Overall a terrible experience, one I shan't repeat. read more

Worst drivethru experience I've ever had. Order was placed ahead of time via app, there were 2 cars ahead of me and it took 30 minutes. It would have been even longer but since the attendant never responded to me at the speaker, I drove up to the window to find her standing there. Why would she not respond at the speaker??? She initially stated my order was not there. I showed her my app receipt and told her to look again. It was right in front of her. Of course the food was cold but since I was now late for a doctor appointment I needed to leave. While I was in line I tried to flag down a car hop but she looked away immediately and kept walking. Other cars behind me saw how slow service was, could hear me yelling for help, and left. So 30 minutes in drivethru for cold food and exceptionally bad service making me late. I will be posting my experience on social media. read more

If you have 40 minutes to spare, & $45 bucks to spend I would recommend this place. But, if you're like me and appreciate a bargain for your buck I wouldn't recommend this place. They always have their mobile ordering app disables so no one can take advantage of any deals they email to you. When you do get your food your items are either wrong, missing ingredients, or aren't even the item you wanted! You try to send a complaint or return to the store for what you actually want and there is no response/ accountability and another tiresome wait. read more

Went here chancing it after reading some of the reviews hoping they were just a bad day maybe the employees were having. Nope this location was the worst!! We ordered our food and they had no cherries for their drinks. One of the main reason people go there are for the drinks. We ordered our food. Waited a while in hoping our food would be good. Firstly we ordered the bblt and the bacon was burnt!! Barely any bacon to begin with. It was horrible. Gave us the wrong drink and didn't bring any bbq that I asked for which were on the receipt. The girl with the bad attitude comes Out with the drink I'm like did you by chance bring the bbq she says nothing rolls her eyes and leaves. I never did get that bbq sauce. Then the workers left the speaker box on so you could hear everything being said inside I'm sorry if you hate your job that much just quit. My kids were really looking forward to this we drive quit a bit for this place and for how much I paid just really makes me mad. read more

Waited 40 minutes for food - 1 burger, chili cheese tots, and two shakes. Had to flag someone down to check. Shakes were partially melted but one star cos the food was hot. read more

I regretfully need to give Sonic Drive-In 1 star, however If I could give zero stars I would. Lets start by saying it was a nice hot day in Milwaukee which isn't to often these days and I had a huge craving for a signature Sonic slush and a side order of the Cinnebon Bites. I pulled up to the parking lot menu and pushed the button for assistance with my order. I sat in my car staring at the flashing monitor stating someone would be with me shortly to place my order and after sitting for 10 minutes I noticed there were 4 more cars in the lot that was sitting for the same amount of time without being taken care of. I noticed an employee outside and asked if the menu boards were working and the young gentleman said yes and he would send someone out to take my order. After sitting for another 10 minutes I was livid and I decided to try my luck at the drive through lane instead. I sat for five minutes and when no one would take my order I went home sweaty and sticky from sitting in my hot car and was not able to satisfy my craving for a well deserved slush or Cinnebon Bites. Not to mention I wasted 25 minutes of my time. What happened to customer service??? read more

Very disappointing. The parking lot is absolutely disgusting it smells and there's garbage everywhere. Also the staff does not wear facemask or protective gloves there's no protection from COVID-19 whatsoever. read more

If I could give this location a 0 star I would. Yesterday I drove 30 miles to visit this sonic on a whim. I wanted to try the "shark week" slush. There were signs everywhere posted on every hop park, on the walls, drive through sign and windows about them being short staffed and asking for patience. This is the world now, it's not sonics fault. I would wait in that drive through for 35 mins patiently waiting and with the understanding that these employees are doing the best the can. After placing my order and given my total at the menu I drove to the window. The GENERAL MANAGER of this stores location swung the window open in such a blaze of compleat attitude I was taken back and just handed her my card without thinking twice. I knew my total- it was already given to me when i ordered, so I didn't think twice about it. She than rudely handed me two shakes which I immediately noticed were not what I ordered. I sat there at that window for 6 mins waiting for them to come back with my food to notify them of the mix up. In my head this wasn't a big deal. Simply take the shakes back and I'll take the ones I ordered. When she came back to the window I informed her of the accidental mixup and she literally just starts screaming at me. "Did i or did I not read your total! If that wasn't your total why did you give me your card!" I was literally in shock over the entire experience. Generally speaking when I see an employee screaming at a customer I immediately assume they are matching energy. If a customer rudely comes up to some defenseless employee screaming, I pass no judgement for that employee matching the customers energy and getting mouthy back. But there was never a time I had even felt frustrated or angered. To me it was a simple mix up. So for her to just start screaming at me literally shocked me. She proceeds to tell me if I don't take what she's handing me, she will have to issue a refund- the refund will take THIRTY DAYS to post to my account and she'll have to slide my card for another 30 something dollars. I asked if it was possible she just charge me the 6.00 difference so they don't need to worry about refunds ect. I was displeased I'd have to utilize now 55.00 of money for a few shakes and burgers. She starts screaming at me again. Demanding my card to charge the new total. I comply- than ask to speak to a manager. To which she rolls her eyes and slams the window on me. I'm now waiting for what I assume is a manager to speak too- she comes back physically THROWS my card through my window and tells me to leave. I ask for my receipt so I can track the refund- she refuses. I ask for a receipt on the 2nd purchase, she refuses. She's demanding I leave. Yet I haven't even received my entire order. Eventually another employee comes to the window and that's when I was told that woman who was screaming at me as if this was my mistake- was the stores general manager, Tracy I believe he told me. This woman is a wicked brat and has no business being in the fast food business if she finds this behavior appropriate. Never once had I raised my voice, never once did I get frustrated with the mistake. I read your signs Tracy. You asked for patients and I gave it to you. I guess for our patients- we are expected be treated like absolute trash. Shame on you. read more

30 mins waiting in a stall before the manager refused to talk to us and a rude employee said we didn't order anything. They forgot to bring our food, the order was lost, our food was just waiting and then after the wait and rudeness the manager ran away from the issue and refused to even face us as a food working professional supervisor. The food was cold and not fresh. It was probably made immediately, too bad the cooks were the only one on their game. read more

After waiting for a while for the car hop the guy rudely says drive thru only and hangs up. After waiting like 20min. You know what screw you. I'll eat else where. You have no signs up or nothing and your rude. Nah I don't need to patronize a place like that. Hope your minimum wage is paying for something worth while other then your rude behavior. See if I bother to come back. read more

Sonic is one of my favorite go to places for milkshakes. They have amazing happy hour deals, late night deals, and great deals on the app. I believe if you order on the app it's half off shakes and burgers all day. While I love their deals they are out of a lot of ingredients on almost a daily basis. Their strawberry banana shakes are my favorite, but the last couple times I have gone they were out of bananas. The last time I went there they were out of both bananas and strawberries. They already have a limited list for shake flavors, so it's a little disappointing, but when they do have them they are delicious! read more

Out of onion rings for the remainder of the year,ice cream machine down, oh and couldn't get a slushie that machine was down to. Didn't get a warning before ordering our food. The food was alright but would have been better with ice cream or a slushie from here. I had to go elsewhere. Sucks waited over 30 mins just to get our food. read more

Daughter received wrong order and the food was cold. She pulled through the drive thru again, noticed that employees weren't wearing masks or gloves. And they were touching all of her food without gloves. She requested a refund and was told that it would be on her card in 3-5 days and to call Jay if it wasn't there in 3-5 business days. Well, 5 days later, it's not there. So she called and asked for Jay, was transferred to some lady. She explained her situation and the lady very rudely told her, and I quote... "#1 - we don't have anybody named Jay And 2, if you refund on a credit card, your money won't be back for 7-12 business days" After thanking her, my daughter didn't get an apology or anything other than "mmm-hmmmm" read more

Meira kept cutting us off when we were trying to order, then after reading our order back to us CORRECTLY, she gave us the wrong drink, we gave it back to have it remade, and were either given the same drink or a new incorrectly made drink. We checked the rest of our order and found 3 more incorrect items. The few bites of our incorrect food we had were inedible and basically wasted and had to be thrown away, what a waste of food and money. Honestly I'm concerned about how clean it is, since they can't even get an order correct. Pathetic. read more

This was by far the worst experience I've had with Sonic. Waited AN HOUR AND A HALF for food that was set to be served ASAP. We were waiting and trying to be patient but it got harder as time went on. Not to mention once an hour-ish passed, a notification finally came on the stall saying someone was coming, but after yet ANOTHER 15-20 minutes... nobody came with any of our food and everyone else around us were being served even though they got there after us. (Granted we've been waiting for an hour and a half so people were coming and going with ease except us.) WE HAD IT WITH WAITING. Eventually we go to the drive-thru and complain about the time and food, and the employees customer service was HORRIBLE. Nothing to try and make up for the experience (ex. "Oh I'm so sorry!", "I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience!" etc) and what's worse: THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE DRINKS MADE! After FINALLY making the *two drinks*, they just closed the window. No "again we are sorry about the inconvenience!", no "thank you and sorry again!" NOTHING. Now as someone who does work in a field for customer service, I know it can get busy, people get caught up, etc. But THIS... the staff's behavior and their actions towards the situation are UNACCEPTABLE. Never trusting the pick-up process again, let alone this particular Sonic. P.S... I know on this specific night, I was not the only one who complained. Seen another customer yelling with the employee about their order as we drove off. ‍ read more

Well with all the hype in the local media about Sonic opening you would think that a restaurant that had good food at a reasonable price was coming to Milwaukee. If you have never been to a Sonic understand that the only thing special that they offer are tater tots and drinks. They offer a happy hour from 2-4pm which is the only time I would go there because the drinks are half price during those times. In these economic times that brings the prices for the quality into an acceptable range. The food offered in my experience from locations across the country is VERY poor quality. My comparison is food you buy out of a vending machine, greasy and a manufactured flavor. This is not fast food, the service is slow and not worth the wait. Sonic is fun like IKEA was the first time you went but as time goes by you realize they just sell overpriced crap. Happy eating read more
