I’ve been waiting in the drive through after ordering for over 30 minutes. We haven’t moved. By far the absolute worst fast food experience I’ve ever had in my entire life. I haven’t seen a single bag of food.
Update – nearly an hour in the drive through before we had our food. Not a single apology or acknowledgement from the staff about the wait. Had plenty of time to watch the staff and things looked chaotic, but also lacking urgency at the same time. We will think twice before trying this location again.

90% of the time it’s perfect. The food is always good. Don’t get me wrong, but sometimes they mistake portion size and give you the wrong ones ..it’s not the end of the world. Other than that, it’s a good place for kids a fast meal that isn’t super greasy. They have really good shakes and other things also. And I will say the kids that work there do a pretty good job, especially in today’s world.

Stopped for food somewhere else but we made a special trip over to Sonic just for the Grillo’s Pickles seasoned tots that we had enjoyed before. After 9 dollars for two large orders of tater tots to go along with our meal, we got home and found just about zero seasoning anywhere to be seen and definitely could not taste it either. Weird that a few sprinkles of seasoning on a limited promotional item was too much to do, and these tots were the only thing we ordered. Saw a few specks of pickle seasoning on the cardboard so it’s not that they entirely forgot to do it or mistakenly gave us plain ones. Sonic is further away from us than other convenient places and we had actually only started going here while this pickle menu stuff was going on and after two or three visits we probably won’t keep Sonic in the rotation. Went online a few days later to complain about the order and noticed on the receipt big bold warnings about no refunds only store credit. Seems like they must have a lot of people asking for refunds if it was important enough to be the very first line on the receipt under your order.

I’m gonna start off by mentioning I never leave reviews, considering whenever there is a an issue I try my best to resolve it internally.
July 27th 10:25pm for any crew members or managers reading this.
I stopped by to get me and my girlfriend a very late dinner and the young lady in the drive thru was entirely rude the entire order, up to payment and receiving my food.
I get back home and open my sandwich and what do you know, I find a mayo sandwich. How does that even happen??
I call to see what options I have after driving 15 minutes there and back home she answers knowing exactly what happened and I ask so what do we do? She said I don’t know maybe explain when ever you come back and get a free burger then hung up!!
We come back and she was insanely rude the entire interaction once again without a singular apology.

Food was good. Location was clean and servers were organized. The only thing I would change was the order board that was in the outdoor seating area. We had multiple orders and we had to do one order at a time and wait for the order to be brought out before we could move onto the next person’s order so we all were eating at different times.

they have a ton of high school kids out here who have no idea how to make a single hamburger, first they brought out someone else’s order that didn’t belong to me (a chicken with mayo) and then they brought out a hamburger with just one meat patty (I ordered a double) it took them 2 whole tries to get such a simple order correct. On top of this awful experience the drive through lady kept cutting our orders short and the wait time was over 25 minutes in the drive through. I will NOT recommend ever coming here

If I could rate the algonquin il restaurant, I would rate it a -5. Where do I start. The cheeseburger had absolutely no taste. It’s as if the meat was never seasoned. The tomato and pickle where wilted and tasted Nasty, Nasty, nasty, nasty! There was so much salt on the fries that they where inedible. My brother-n-law had the bacon double cheeseburger. Not only did it not have no taste the bacon was horrible. It was as if the bacon was microwaved. The grilled cheese sandwich was soggy, and had only 1 pc of cheese. We spent 50 plus dollars on this food and we were disappointed. You really need a new store manager. One that can teach the workers to have a little more pride in their work.
