"Cold burgers straight out the fridge. Cold wrapper, cold bread, cold patty. Felt less like a fresh meal and more like somebody’s leftovers being sold out of the cooler. Nobody pays for drive-thru food expecting a fridge-chilled burger. Completely unacceptable. “If I wanted cold leftovers, I’d raid my own fridge, not pay Sonic for them.”...."

"I had a really nice visit. It didn't take too long and it was a beautiful day (1-29-25). The service was really polite and easy. I will definitely be going back to the "Sonic" that's located on Ambassador Caffery Parkway. You all should try it!!"

"Always can count on great food and good strong cokes. Love the app. Can order it and not have to wait and get my drinks half off all the time."

"I ordered the chicken club toaster three kids corn dog meals, and the supersonic double cheese burger. It was great as expected. I was thrown off from a sign that shows kids meals are $1.99 and I don't know what ambassador means but I wasnt even asked about it so it apprears like deceiving false advertisement. The screen on some of the drive ups were not turned on either, we thought it would turn on when we ordered but we had to go inside to pay. Defeated the purpose of the drive up. There is outdoor seating available."
