Sonic Drive-In wrong order twice.

May 27th I went to the Sonic located in Saginaw, TX. I ordered a Super Sonic Cheese Burger with mayo, cut the tomatoes and lettuce and add extra onions and jalapeños and a large order of onion rings with cheese. I had to correct her several times during the order process as she kept getting it wrong, finally she repeated my order correctly. I told the girl that took my order I didn't want a drink and she said I had to get a drink. I found that odd because Sonic offers the option for a combo or just a burger. Okay well when my order came out it was wrong! The car hop read my order to me and it was wrong. I got mustard and ketchup, tomatoes and lettuce. It didn't have the extra onions or jalapeños and mayo that I did order. The car hop said he would take care of it. When he brought my order back I should have checked it but he read it back correctly, so I thought it would be right. Guess what it had mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise along with more tomatoes than meat, no onions or jalapeños. It may have been a nice gesture for him to give me both burgers, if either one was eatable. I can not eat mustard as I break out in a rash. My dogs enjoyed the meat and I went elsewhere and will do so in the future as well. It's to bad because Sonic has always been my favorite burger, but lately I have not been to a Sonic that gets everything right.

Sonic Drive-In unethical behavior

on 5/26/18 at Sonic on Broadway in Wichita, Kansas 67202

Hi :) The compliant I am referencing to on the above date, I was on my way to my security job and decided to stop at Sonic for a meal. I ordered 2 cheese burger, one med. tot and a large peach sweet tea. I had 15 minutes to get to work so ordering wasn't a problem and arriving on time at work five blocks away on time was a piece of cake. Well I ordered, swiped my credit card, knowing ok, now I have 10 minutes to get to work... great! But when my order came and it was told to me what I owed, I asked I used my card. Well, I was told at that time that the card swipe was working. Well, I handed her my card to do the transaction inside. Now getting to work on time wasn't going to happen.. :( Once I got to work I opened up my food and started to eat. I was only 2 minutes away from sonic so thinking a hot burger. No, both burgers were cold, and the med. tots as well. In the past after stopping at Sonic and arriving to work my burgers and tots ordered and or any other hot meals remind hot. I guess this was a big disappointment to me...It will not stop my journey and visit to Sonic, but made it a sad occasion when I had my mind set for a hot Sonic meal. Yes I was four minutes late and ate a cold burgers and tot...

Sonic Drive-In “24 hour” sonic was closed at 4:08 am

I went to the sonic on Westport road at 4 am, google maps said it was open 24 hours, and I doubled checked on the Sonic website to confirm that I wasn't driving half an hour for nothing. When I arrived at the sonic, the lights were on but nobody answered at the drive thru, and didn't answer the phone when I called. Thank god the food truck on the street next to sonic was open or I would've starved.

Sonic Drive-In food

Paid a lot of money for cold food that tasted like it was cooked days ago! Had all kinds of different things mixed together that we didn't order. It has always been a chance when going there but tonight topped it all. They need to be retrained and taught that nobody likes to pay high dollar for cold old food. It's a good way to lose a lot of business.

Sonic Drive-In drive thru service/rudeness

Today 5/24 we pulled up to the drive thru, set there for 8 to 10 minutes. Finally drove up to the window and waited again for someone to open the window. When they did we explained that we would like to order as we were never acknowledged at the drive thru. Instead of apologizing to us for our wait, she turned and made a comment to another employee about us. When asked did she not see us, she said she had alot to do and could not keep track of the camera outside. She took our order and told us our total. When she handed back our change she never even thanked us for our patience in waiting or our purchase. She came back with our food, handed it to us and slammed the window closed. Again, no thank you for your purchase. We go to the Sonic for their soft drinks but due to their rudeness we will not be going back. We live in a very small town and are willing to pay their high prices, but with that should come some appreciation for the fact that we go there. If there was ever an instance where employee training was needed it is the Sonic drive thru employees.

Sonic Drive-In service has gone down tremendously at the lamarque, tx sonic

I live 2 minutes away from the Sonic Drive In @4100 Texas Ave, La Marque, TX 77568. I often leave work and order a # 6 Chili Cheese Coney Combo with Sweet Tea. It usually will cost $5.45.

Yesterday, I ordered the same thing and when I arrived home, I noticed my tater tots were covered with chili and cheese as well as my coney. I just threw them away and went back today because the corn dogs were on sale for $0.50. I ordered at the sign and when I reached the window, she didn't have my order.

That was strange because the order was there. I had to ask for my receipt this time and in previous years it has automatically been given to me. I used to fill them out to get the free Route 44 drink. Today I wanted to complain about the service. The workers were arguing back and forth and the window was EXTREMELY slow.

Sonic Drive-In food not like adversited

I really think that someone from corporate office should come down and monitor this Sonic and maybe train workers. If you order a hamburger it is cold and taste like it has been cooked for hours or days ago. I would bet they cook meat in advance and just put burgers together as needed they are awful and Sunday's never have whip topping or cherry and hot fudge is cold and lumpy. Awful and if you say something they say well we are out of cheeries and whip topping Really? everytime for the last 6 months? I rate this Sonic a zero Crossett Ar 71635

Sonic Drive-In food purchased

My wife and I ordered two carhop specials, the worst I have every had. I believe they had been made for hours, they where cold and didn't even taste good, it seems it is hard too get any good service at the Seiling Gore Sonic. Until this situation is addressed and fixed I have spend my last dollar at the Seiling Gore Sonic in Seiling Oklahoma. I know it isn't Sonics food I have eaten in most Sonics in western Oklahoma and they always have good food and service.

Thanks,
Scotty

Sonic Drive-In rude employee who yelled at me.

I went to sonic for the first time and the drive thru employee was yelling at me and usin. Awful words while I was trying to order my food. When I pulled up to the window she wouldn't accept my money because it was a split payment( which I understand).. but she then threw the money at me and slammed the window which I found very rude and humiliating. I have never been this disrespected by any fast food employee and for my first time going there I have a very bad impression and will probably not go back because of how they mistreat their customers. That woman should not work around people if she is going to yell and be disrespectful to them.

Sonic Drive-In drive through window service

Hello I am a customer and also big fan of sonic. Sonic is one of my favorite fast food places to go. When I was as in the drive through I'm line I was saying hello to the employees. I don't know if they could hear me or not but I said hello about 5 or 6 times. It got to the point I drove up to the window . The lady at the window had a real bad attitude. It got to the point I didn't want anything and I hated it because I love sonic she ruin my appetite. The sonic I was at was 1541 N 18th St, Monroe, LA 71201. I will be happy if this never happened again when I go back to sonic

Sonic Drive-In sonic double cheeseburger

I was at the sonic drive in at 3003 east parkway dr in russellville ar on sunday may 20th 2018. I ordered a couple of burgers and when the car hop delivered my order she read it back to me and the super sonic cheeseburger was wrong. I had ordered it with mayonnaise and no tomatoes and the fixed it with no mayonnaise and no tomatoes. She sent it back to be fixed the right way. When i got home my boyfriend took a bite and pulled out a square plastic bread tie inside the burger. I have had my food prepared wrong several times at this location and i am not very happy with the service. I don't remember the client number but i hope i have given you as much detail as possible. My order came to $18.73 and i gave the carhop the rest out of a $20. My name is janet hill address is 76 gillespie rd atkins ar 72823

Sonic Drive-In staff

I frequent sonic and normally have an overly pleasent experience because of the African American lady normal at the window. However my last experience was horrible. I had my two 11 year old children in the car to witness this and it was imbariaing. Let me start off by saying we came 10 minutes before closing which I never try to do but there was a need for it. Reguardless what time you show up to a business you do your job with respect. The was a young girl who was rude from the time we placed out order. I am assuming she was ready to go and upset not only did we come late we came also with a $30 order. The ordering it's self was unpleasant. once I got to the window she did not say a single word. She headed me my drinks which we ordered three. I asked what this was she said sprite, it was water. I rather frustrated did say well she sure is pleasent and apologized to my kids. Then she came back with the food handed me the bags and left. I needed ketchup which there was none and ranch. We ordered 12 wings and there weren2 ranches we wanted 2 more. I honked she did not come back. 2 more minutes I knocked on the drive thru window. I said if you would of spoken to me you would of realized I needed both ketchup and ranch. I saw the name in the receipt and asked if she was Angie she said yeah sure as she handed me ketchup. She said here is your ketchup and I gave you like 4 ranches you do not need anymore. And walked away. 2 minutes later as I was looking up the information on the receipt who to report to the manager came up. Can I help you I asked her why her name was because I was reporting this and she told me her name was alley. I said that's crazy it says Angie in the receipt and she would of let me report against another employee. Courtney was the manger and asked if I needed anything else I said no as I was trying to keep my cool. It was ridiculous and your staff at this location need some serious training and alley if that is even an employee needs to be fired. What she did and how she acted and in front of children is a joke. Once we got home the food was just horrible. We got the large order of cheese sticks and three had cheese in them. Pretty sure they are pre packaged which means they were over cooked and melted out? Not sure how that happens. 2 burgers were smashed and I am just concerned about this night staff. Truly hope something is done about this.

Sonic Drive-In wrong shake.

I ordered an M&M shake. The cup said M&M but yet they gave me an Oreo shake with chunks of Oreos. I do not like Oreo cookies at all. That's just a waste of money. If they didn't have M&M they could've just said but no they didn't give a care in the world . I could have gotten a different shake if that was the case. Every order was correct but this one. The person who made the shake should NOT have put M&M because they CLEARLY know they used Oreos. It's only common sense. And of course I am upset I'm a mother and I really wanted something sweet of my own for once but they had to ruin my night.

Sonic Drive-In food product/service

My husband and i went to sonic and i ordered the chicken dinner which comes with Texas toast, tots and onion rings as a side. When i got the food i had no onion rings. I pressed the button again and advised them. I did not get an apology or anything just a hold on. Then 4ish mins later a gentleman brings my "onion rings " ITS ONE ONION RING! One?! I went back to the building and i advised the manager that i only had one onion ring... she said and? I said why am i only getting one? She said it only comes with one... are you for real sonic! When has something ever came with just one of anything besides the main thing. One tator tot? No! One French fry? No! One potato chip? No! One ONION RING?!? No! Then please explain why we are getting one onion ring!
Not only was this outrageous... the service at this location was terrible! They have no effs and laughed at me when i said it was stupid!
3505 E 104th Ave. Thornton CO 80233

Mind you i don't eat crap food but i was hungry. 👎🏼😡

Sonic Drive-In wrong order

We arrived at sonic at 11:40 am, we immediately pressed the button for service and was not answered for 12 minutes. There were not many cars at the sonic so they couldn't have been too busy. Once they finally answered, we ordered and proceeded to wait another 10 minutes for our food. When we received our food, the order was wrong. We called for them to come back with no response to which we walked to the front door and asked them to make the order right. The employee snatched the order out of my hand and took it back inside. The order was made wrong a second time. I will not be visiting this sonic location again. 505 E Boyd Dr. Baton Rouge, La 70808
