Our motorcycle group was a bit on a timed schedule. With the Arco gas station next door (our final gas stop)- I wanted to find a food joint that was convenient, provided outdoor seating WITH shade (mid summer) in the blistering sun, and have ample parking to have a clear view of our bikes and our personal baggage visible to us. I had no idea restrooms were available til after we placed our orders at the walk up kiosks in the patio area. I figured this Sonic location was ideal since the gas station was next door and we could use those, just in case. While placing our orders on the touch screen monitor- I noticed it wasn't our order on the screen- but, our friends on the opposite side. LOL. But, when other friend placed hers on the monitor we used- it worked like usual. Because of the hiccup we had- we were able to submit our orders and the employee used a hand held payment machine. It's been forever (like 10 years) since I've ordered Sonic. But, the first time opting for the outdoor patio. The Groovy Fries are a must (crinkle cut fries are nostalgic); mozzarella sticks are as expected- and a lil bacon cheeseburger hits the spot. Wasn't in the mood for their syrup flavored drinks and opted for a very cold bottled water to use my Liquid IV. Service is swift. Great location to Looky Lou and clean restrooms. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Cheeseburger w/ bacon & Mozzarella Sticks/ 8/16/25 - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

I ordered 2 combos here with no mayo. Once i got home, seen they both had mayo. I was so hungry i could cry lol. I called (i usually never do, but i even added a small tip to ensure this wouldn't happen). The manager was super kind & offered me 2 free combos next time i went. I went 2 days later & she remembered me. I just wanted to say thank you for honoring your word & making my experience here pleasant. & apologies for any troubles. Very friendly employees here. read more

We ordered the #1 combo + tots. Recommend getting the groovy sauce! Apparently there are 6 different sauces to choose from. Sooooo tasty and consistently delish! The restaurant is clean and the parking lot is open to park and eat if you'd like. The past 3 years going to Coachella and staying in Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley, we start our morning with Sonics! It's become a tradition at this point. Special thanks to Catalina and Jack for their excellent customer service! read more

The service was excellent and fast. There were restrooms on the side of the building so that was pretty convenient for it being an only Drive-in. The food was tasty, I would highly suggest the cheese burgers. The chili on the chili cheese fries were okay, not my personal favorite. I was a fan of the mozzarella sticks, the marinara sauce not so much. I loved my grape slushy. It tasted like how a good grape would taste like. read more

I wish I could give them zero stars. They literally stole our money. We even proved that the money came out of our bank account by showing our bank statements AND calling our bank but Jacob still closed the window in our face and refused to give us our food. $20 stolen. Insane. read more

Immediate 5/5 because they actually skated to bring my order out. And obviously the drinks are the same old same old so nothing new there! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Blue coconut slush with nerds and a Dirty Dr Pepper - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

This was my second time ever having Sonic, and I didn't get any food because we just went for dessert. The food looked pretty good, like the jalapeño poppers, but I skipped them. I ordered a turtle truffle nut milkshake. It's kind of like rocky road but has mini peanut butter cups and praline almonds. It tasted pretty good with the vanilla ice cream, but I tried my friend's slushy with Nerds candy and wished I'd gotten that instead. I'll definitely go for the slushy next time. read more

I have been here twice now. I never eat fast food but I have found the smash burgers to be excellent. The cheddar poppers on both occasions were cooked perfectly. They were hot and crispy. The service was great also. read more

Food was good but, I had a disappointing experience at Sonic Drive-In. When we arrived, the employee who greeted us came across as condescending right from the start. We asked a simple question about whether we should move to a different spot for pickup or mobile ordering, and her response was very short and came off as rude. Her tone made it feel like we were inconveniencing her just by asking. Customer service makes a big difference, and this interaction left a negative impression. I hope the staff can work on being more welcoming and patient with customers in the future read more

Never expected Sonic to be that good. First time, and very happy. Vanilla cold brew was fire. Mango peach refresher wasn't too sweet, just perfect. Chicken bites, pretzel, Ched R peppers had the best crispness, fries were super crispy and perfectly salty, Tropical Heat and All American burgers ALL 10/10. Service was also great. read more

This is a shoutout to Bella who made the day! This sonic does not have enough staffing which is not their fault, but it does make the line looooong. We were served by sweet Bella though who was holding it together! I truly hope this reaches management to give her a shoutout, bonus, or kickback. They also seem to need more support! There was a long line right after Christmas so business was booming! Make the staff's lives easier! read more

This store is terribly understaffed. I waited in the drive through for more than 20 minutes for a very simple order on a Sunday. Half of that was just waiting to place my order. I honestly feel like there was one, maybe two, people running the whole store. And the online ordering wasn't working. I don't know if they disabled it or what but it was a super frustrating experience for something that is supposed to be "fast food". read more

Not a single car in the drive thru, or waiting in the parking area...so, order didn't take long at all. I love stopping here for the slushes....so refreshing in a hot day!! Will def be back!! read more

I was on my way from Desert Hille outlets to 29 Palms & decided to pick up "dinner" on the way. Two cars ahead of me in the drive thru, so I thought "this will be quick." Ha! I waited 15 minutes to pull up to order. The voice on the other end asked me to wait. Another 5 minutes. I ordered a large entree honey barbecue chicken poppers & a medium tea. $12 something total. After ordering, The car in front of me was still waiting for their order. I was trapped, unable to escape. When I finally got my order, I was handed the sticky chicken poppers with a napkin and fork on top. No bag! Ugh! Ten minutes later, I opened the poppers. You can see my photo. First off, this cannot be a large. Second they were overcooked and hard. The mess was inedible unless I wanted to risk breaking a tooth. Not recommended. read more

I used to think I was missing out on some good burgers, but nope. I see why they don't have any of these locations out in the big cities. I'll pass the next time I see their signs. read more

Was hoping for a tasty treat, but the vanilla ice cream has no flavor at all and the caramel tasted horrible.

i love the yucca valley sonic. i am here quite frequently after work for a vanilla dr pepper and i am hit with an instant shot of bliss. the workers are always very kind as well. thank you sonic i enjoy sitting at your stalls for hours on end read more

Paid 30$ for four "blasts". Mainly vanilla with a teaspoon of any other mixtures. I'll save my money and gas and will not return here to treat myself or my family. Threw ours in the trash. Do better. read more

I want to like Sonic more. It seems fun. Its mediocre food at best. Maybe the shakes are good but I'm lactose intolerant so who knows. I think Wendy's is better for sure. We had left Pioneer Town starving and we were coerced by children to eat at Sonic. My husband had never had it before so why not. I had a regular cheeseburger with the fix'ns. My kids had Chicken Sandwiches and I don't even remember what my husband ordered. There was also a side of Chicken Strips. All together there wasn't anything that great. My son and I did our obligatory, swap our food after eat half of it so we can try two different things. My husband hated his food. We sat at the little table out front after we parked and ordered in the stall. It was a very nice sunny fall day. I just cant get into Sonic. Its just off for me. Its not just this location. Its been every location I've been to. read more

Excited to discover they have the Chicago dog! My Sonic in Spokane, WA only has the All American & the Chili dog. Was pretty good! But I mainly go to Sonic for the drinks. One of my favs is Sprite with grape & limes. Arctic Circle called that a Lime Rickey, but they left Spokane years ago. There is still one in Newport, OR. Anyway, my order was delivered quickly by a very nice & friendly young man! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Chicago dog - love those sport peppers! - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

Their drinks deal are goof if you order from the app and the staff are very friendly. The food is your standard fast food meal.

It seems. Like they serve the drive through customers and ignore the ones that park at the order stalls. It takes forever to get our order, while I see drive through over and over read more

First time to a Sonic. Employees were friendly and food was delicious. Our family enjoyed it very much.

The service is always so amazing and the workers are really nice every time. I've never had a bad experience here. the foods also pretty good i like the sundaes and the drinks. read more

Worse customer service on planet earth, pulled into a stall to order because there were 7 cars in the drive through. I watched all 7 cars get served while I was told three different times I'll be right with you. I sat close to 25 mins in the stall before my order was takin. Then waited another 20 mins for it to come out. If you want to waste a good 45 mins of your life waiting for 6 mozzarella sticks and a mini Reese's blast this place has got you covered. read more

Stopped by with my family to order dinner after 8:30. The crew working tonight (07/08/22) were extremely slow and two workers were seen using their phones while on the job. No regard for food safety as the latex gloves were not being utilized. They also will not turn on the outdoor lights for customers dining outside the restaurant despite it being after sunset. read more

Food is ok, service is good. It was a to go order And did not get to see the ambience inside read more

Terrible service! Careless, and even when you talk to their corporate office they don't care either!

The chicken sandwich is lit !! Fresh quality and ingredients for sure. Mozzarella sticks are also good quality. read more

Sadly they messed up my cheeseburger, the food is nive and all, the employees are super nice too!

The reasons why I love Sonic: Roller Skates, Shakes, and the new Groovy Fries (with the Groovy sauce). The Reasons why this establishment was 3 stars: Our first waiter didn't roller skate, shake was way too thick, AND they didn't give me any groovy sauce. I waited in the convenient order parking, and had to ask for my groovy sauce TWO more times before a nice woman finally skated it over to me read more

My two products were given to me melted. Completely melted. Made me wait 15 mins. Caught the kid in a lie trying to tell me it was just made when in reality it was sitting there for more than 5 mins melting away. The atmosphere, picked up all he was doing was not wanting to remake it. The Carhopper's name was Shaun B and I was at Stall 1. Time was 19:37:39 of today June 23rd! The lazy work twice as hard is what my mother would tell me. Why is the Night Shift Slacking off and just chitchatting instead of working. These kids need to sent home if they dont want to work. If they dont like their job, why are they working there. THEY NEED TO LEARN TO DO BETTER AND STOP PLAYING GRAB ASS. read more

Ordered a Oreo blast they gave me like one cookie crumbled up like who the fuck does this? 3 m&m blasts. Maybe 5 mini m&ms in each cup! Fuck this place read more

Management absolutely sucks at this location. Plan on a 30 minute plus wait time if there's more than 3 cars in line or in the drive up slots. Worst speed of service in Yucca Valley for seriously mediocre food. This place only stays afloat because of slushies. Please hire some competent management!! read more

Gave up on this spot after waiting 15 minutes on hold at a pull up spot. Drive thru line was equally not moving. Disappointing as it's so rare for us to find a Sonic so I was pumped at first. Based on all of the other reviews, it seems short staff is sadly the norm at these places so I can't fault this joint too much. Would highly recommend you don't bother unless you've got an hour to spare for a fast food place. read more

It was fine, food was what you would expect from a fast food restaurant. It was fresh, hot and good. Drive thru is a little confusing.

service was amazing.. the food was hot and fresh. WOudl definitely come here again. I loved the old school feel, but being out in no where I really expected it to be bad, but was so surprised. Keep it up!!! read more

Took a bite of my sandwich and it tasted funky :( Opened it up and a lot of the lettuce is brown and yucky! & Bad smell too. Hope it doesnt make me sick!!!! read more
