The culinary experience at Sonic Drive-In has undergone a sophisticated evolution, most notably evidenced by the Sonic Smasher. This isn’t merely a fast-food patty; it is a masterclass in Maillard-reaction precision, featuring charred, lacy edges that provide a crisp textural contrast to the succulent interior. Dressed with a savory signature sauce and nestled within a pillowy brioche bun, the flavors are harmoniously balanced—avoiding the grease-heavy pitfalls of its contemporaries. Accompanied by tots that serve as golden, cylindrical vessels of perfectly seasoned potato—offering a superior crunch-to-fluff ratio—the meal is rounded out by a beverage program that remains the gold standard of the industry, even if the sheer volume of crushed ice requires the lung capacity of a pearl diver.
The children’s offerings display a surprising commitment to fundamental quality, proving that “kid-friendly” needn’t mean “culinary afterthought.” The chicken tenders offer a fibrous, white-meat interior encased in a seasoned breading that retains its crunch, while the hot dog is a nostalgic triumph served in a toasted bun.
However, the true pièce de résistance was the side of mozzarella sticks. These are not merely cheese; they are molten pillars of dairy encased in a herbed crust, boasting a “cheese stretch” so ambitious it requires a permit. They are the ultimate peace-offering for a car full of hungry travelers. Far from a chaotic roadside pitstop, this meal was a curated, eloquent assembly of American classics that proved, once and for all, that eating in your car can be a five-star experience—provided you don’t drop a tot between the seats.

Kendall and Sydney are spectacular with customer service! Food is great but what’s ultimately going to make this location be the best is high customer service and that’s what they delivered!

Food was pretty good. I got a hotdog, nuggets, and fries. Nuggets were a little hard, but nothing to worry about. Pretty good overall.

Went to this location to get a blast.. got halfway home when I realized they put stickers over a hole they put in the bottom of the cup. Pure Laziness. Get a new cup next time. Won’t be returning to this location any time soon. Very disappointed in how they would do this.

Number 2 combo. Burger was disgusting. Ask for Ketchup when ordering but they don’t give it to me. I think the meat was spoiled, it was absolutely nasty!!!

Just served me the dryest, oldest patty I have ever seen at 7:30pm. I’ve had fresh burgers from here before but I was super disappointed with this one. I would’ve thrown it away if I could afford to. I hope they see this and do better. Never had a problem with this Sonic in the past.

The smasher is the best fast food burger I’ve had in a long time

Having ordered here dozens of times… As well as ordering to test accuracy of what I’m about to tell you… I will tell you that most of the food here is pretty good… I know that it’s mostly dropping fry but some locations overcook, etc. the biggest thing I want to get across here is this…….
If you order a pretzel, make sure you get the cheese… Do not leave until you check for cheese… I think this locations normal operating procedure is to not include the cheese, and make you ask for it… I have either been missing the cheese or been asking for it on the past seven orders… In summary
CHECK YOUR BAG (for cheese)

RIP my cup holder. This sonic is the worst. Daisy King walked to her car with another man while working and we sat in the drive thru for 15 minutes. An African American man asked her if someone was working and she started yelling at him and said “there’s other people working!” He pulled to the window and she opened the window and yelled at him again. This sonic has zero customer service skills and it’s sad to see a young lady causing so much commotion over something so small. The picture is an actual sonic blast that was given to me from this sonic. I had to ask for napkins. Once I got home, I took a picture because of how ridiculous this is.

If I could rate the food I received a zero (0), I would. I made a Door Dash order for a Sonic burger and tots because I love their burgers and tots. Well, my order was delivered quickly. But when I sat down to enjoy my burger in tots I was so very disappointed. The patty looked and tasted like it had been sitting for 2 days. It was not freshly made. Also, the lettuce and tomato were not fresh. The lettuce was withered and the tomato looked like it had been sitting out on the counter for a week before they put it on my sandwich. The tots were way overcooked and hard! I will not be ordering from this Sonic on New Salem Hwy no time soon. I wish I had taken photos before I threw it away.
