    Hot All-American Dog and a Bacon Breakfast Burrito
    Anissa A.

    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.

    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!

    "Large" honey barbecue chicken poppers.

    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.

    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.

    Chicago dog - love those sport peppers!

They also have heaters outside, which kept it pretty warm. If you plan to sit outside, the covered area is definitely the best spot. They have an amazing drink selection. I was actually really surprised they had Laphroaig. I also ordered an Old Fashioned, which was delicious. That said, the prices are a little steep for what's technically a dive bar. There's a pool table if you want to play, and they also have a Photo Booth that costs $6 and gives you two prints, which is a fun little addition if you're there with friends. The decor throughout the place is super cool and adds a lot to the overall vibe. It says they close at 1 AM, but they were doing last call at 1 AM rather than kicking people out, so I'm not exactly sure what time the night fully wraps up. The music selection wasn't really my favorite, but the staff was very friendly, the drinks were great, the atmosphere was lively, and the decor is awesome. Definitely a top-tier dive bar with a fun vibe.

After being told by the hostess that we could order from the full cocktail menu on the patio, we sat down only to be immediately shut down by our waiter. When I pointed out that the hostess had literally just handed us the menus and confirmed we could use them, the waiter didn't bother to check; he simply gave a dismissive, "I'm sure," and brushed us off with zero interest in helping. It is rare to find a staff so poorly coordinated and a service style so openly hostile. We didn't even stay for water before walking out. Don't let the mid-century aesthetic fool you--the service is stuck in the dark ages, and there are far too many great spots in the high desert to waste your time being treated like garbage here.
