There are lots of fast food joints and Sonic Drive-in is one of the best. I really like their hamburgers. Of course their huge variety of drink flavors is great. Prices are close to most other fast food places. I like the tater-tots with cheese. Overall one of the better fast food places.

Horrible drive-thru experience – We ordered the smash burger deal and asked the manager, who was working the drive-thru, for extra napkins. She was visibly annoyed when we asked and responded, “They are in the bag,” in a rude tone while rolling her eyes. The napkins were placed underneath the food, and when we found them, they were already soiled with grease from the tater tots. Within less than 10 minutes, the bag had become so greasy that items were starting to fall out. Fortunately only one tater tot and ketchup packets fell out and not an entire burger box.
This was our first time eating at this location and trying their smash burger, which turned out to be extremely messy. Given the lack of courtesy and the condition of the napkins and packaging, this will be our last visit.
Definitely lacking customer care, quality and customer service skills.

I think I have only gone Sonic maybe two times. Figured I would give it ago again last Saturday and I have to say it was hands down awful I gave it my dog she liked it. Even the milk shake was horrible waste of $26 that was.

On the afternoon of Sunday, November 2, 2025, my party and I placed an order at the Sonic Drive-In in Carson City, NV.
The Incident
* Incorrect Order: When we arrived at our destination in Washoe Valley, we discovered that the food given to us was not our order but someone else’s.
* Initial Call & Proposed Resolution: I immediately called the store. The employee I spoke with offered a vague apology and said, “uh, yeah, I’m sorry, if you want you can come back and get yours.” I explained that we were already halfway to Reno. He then offered, “Well, I will give you credit then. When you come back, just give me your name and we will fix it.”
The Problematic Follow-Up
* Refusal of Service: Approximately an hour and a half later, we drove back to the Carson City Sonic, provided the employee with my name, and were then refused the promised credit/replacement order.
* False Accusations: The employee stated that “you can’t come back the same day” and falsely claimed that we had “already ate the food” and that the incorrect order we received was “way more food.”
Conclusion
This entire experience was unacceptable. To be given the wrong order, promised a simple solution, and then have that promise revoked with false accusations is extremely poor customer service.
* We did not eat the incorrect order; we simply wanted the food we originally paid for.
* The employee should not have promised a credit if it was not store policy to honor it the same day.
We left the premises highly dissatisfied and will not be returning. After seeing other negative customer reviews, this incident is clearly indicative of larger service issues at this location.

I just ordered the strawberry shortcake snowball Slush Float and this is what I received slush mix, strawberry mix and ice cream none of it mixed together. I asked the person at the windows to please mix it and he replied that is how corporate wants us to serve it we can’t mix it together.

Worst place 2 eat in America. Tater tots tasted like they haven’t changed the oil in at least a week. I know fried food. KFC 1 year. I took pride in my work

Overpriced for what you get. Looks like it needs kept up. Lights were out & stalls falling apart. All the food was cold. Drinks were wrong or missing items. If we knew they were out of something we would not of ordered it. Service was fast. Tater tots were not only cold they were not even close to the top of the holder. I felt ripped off. Also there app does not work, you cant get support and its been this way for months. False advertising for sure.

Just visited sonic did the online order and if you’re like me you try to eat a few things on your drive back home and come to realize not only was there no napkins included in my order, but there was no fork for my chili cheese Tots. Of course I have forks and napkins at my place but these things should be standard in your bag and you shouldn’t have to ask for them.

My friend and I went the extra mile to have a bit of food. We both ordered corn dogs and Potato tots.
The potatoes were highly recommendable and I wish I’d ordered more.
The corn dogs were very disappointing. They were microwaved and pretty bad.
I could have done that myself for way cheaper, at home.
It seems to be getting more difficult to find good, real food.
I do still enjoy a couple places round town, but they are few and far between lately.
This is not intended as a condemnation in any way. I like Sonic. Good food, decent price. Plus the retro style of ordering is nice. The staff all seem very pleasant and friendly.
We, the customers, are the reason you’re there; give a bit of consideration to this and we will happily be return customers.
It’s the little things, y’know.
Thanks for being
