It’s definitely embarrassing to review a Sonic but literally every time we visit this location I remark how efficient and kind everyone is. They’re our go to for a post-library special drink, a quick lunch to take the park, and my favorite spot to grab a pick me up for teachers at my kids’ school and every single time I have a pleasant experience. The whole team at the sonic red bridge deserves praise!

I want to start by saying I worked at Sonic for 6 years while putting myself through college, so it honestly pains me to have to leave this review.
This is the closest Sonic to our house, and the staff here is always kind and positive!! ✨Unfortunately✨ the food and ice cream quality consistently bring this location down. Orders are frequently wrong, especially when it comes to ingredients we specifically ask to leave off. It is not an occasional mistake, it happens nearly every other visit. For example, when I add jalapeños, onions are automatically included even if I have said “no onions.” (Which I do every single time because I loathe them.) The same issue happens with ketchup.
A good example is the ✨Ultimate Burrito✨. This item does not come with vegetables or onions by default. Yet nearly every. single. time I add jalapeños, onions end up on it too. It is frustrating, repetitive, and feels like the order instructions are being ignored by the kitchen when the order taker is correct majority of the time!!
After countless replacements and several refunds, I have reached my breaking point. Last night sealed it for me: a friend brought back ice cream from this location, and I had paid for extra Reese’s in my Blast. I understand how busy it can get, I have been through those rushes myself. But receiving a Blast with zero Reese’s in the entire bottom half of the cup is unacceptable. The correct process is simple: fill the cup halfway, add candy and mix, then add more ice cream, more candy, and mix again. Skipping that step shows a lack of training and oversight.
That is really the issue here: management and accountability. Staff should be trained and monitored to reduce errors, and those who struggle should be placed on simpler stations until they actually improve. Ticket errors and cancellations CAN be tracked, managers SHOULD be reviewing those numbers monthly to identify problems and coach their staff. Without that, customers continue to receive disappointing product quality, and ultimately service.
I hope management and staff read this as constructive criticism, not just another pissed off customer only leaving a poor review because they are mad. I have been patient, I have accepted corrections, and I have given chance after chance. But at some point, this location needs to take training and accountability more seriously if they want to keep loyal customers coming back.

We ordered this sonic not realizing it was closing. I had looked at the wrong locations hours. They still made our order. I appreciate it and the workers who made it.

I normally wouldn’t go out of my way to review a fast food chain, but this Sonic is the best in town. The staff is always genuinely friendly, shout out to the gal with all of the butterfly tattoos and the Asian friend with super long hair (sorry, I wish I had their names). The food is always great and FRESH; the grilled cheese at most locations is kinda flat so I’ve come to expect that, but at this location they are crispy like I’ve made them in my own home. The drinks are also great! Sometimes at other locations they taste kinda sewery, like their lines haven’t been cleaned; that never happens at this location. There’s a Sonic location a bit closer to me but it’s pretty bad (Blue Ridge) so I’m happy to go a bit out of my way to get much better food and service.

We ordered 2 smash burgers but the app would not engage the logo so I ordered anyway with onion rings. The burgers were over smashed and too done…and Onion rings not done enough. The bigger issue was the burgers were over salted ; so much so that I couldn’t eat mine.
I called while we were still in the lot but manager didn’t seem too concerned and certainly did not offer to refund or replace.
Normally we enjoy sonic food and service but not this time.

Went through the drive-thru and I was impressed with the service. My order was read back to me at the menu board and once again right before I paid. I like that, makes me think you care that I get the correct order and gives me reassurance that you have it covered on your end. This lady was trained right. My food, it was fresh and made correctly. My drinks were yummy, my daughters ocean water was a little over filled but that’s where dad tax comes in and gets to drink a little of that delicious all good. I’ll definitely come back to this location

This is a pretty nice Sonic in my neighborhood. We just stopped for the half price drinks happy hour 2pm to 4pm. Specialty drinks are NOT included so just keep it in mind if you’re getting the Blackout shlush float with the free solar eclipse glasses for tomorrow 04/08/24

This was the first time I ordered food with the App; the third time I asked a specific question about it. There’s no option for a Medium Cherry Shake. I’ve ordered the Rte. 44 and it’s saved in the App automatically.
Already at Sonic while configuring the App. I WASN’T finished editing my order, ticked the wrong cheeseburger, the Manager, trying to help, placed order with my phone, order in Limbo; logged in; logged out; could see it trying to communicate with stall menu…I wanted a Super Sonic Bacon Double Cheeseburger I ticked Mustard, got Mayo, the cheese was bigger than the patty…just check-out the pics. FYI, I am computer literate, I have to put blame on the App for asking to verify my email address, when I clicked the link in gmail, directed back to My Sonic and was asked the same question. I closed the mess, opened up via texts I’d been receiving for Rewards and Promotions. I asked if I could order a Berry Shake through App and have her make a Cherry instead. I tried to explain the issues, but she didn’t listen. She placed the order, had to pay cash and my carhop was there with the shake while the manager and I struggled with the App on my phone.
It would benefit employees and customers both, if employees had more knowledge of App. I’ll master it eventually, but I was being manipulated by a Sonic App!
