Food hot and delicious ,Service fast and friendly, atmosphere, well let me tell you. I love it here. I was on Springfield Ave in Newark and chose Sonic. There was McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Popeyes and others. Never had Sonic so I went there. I ordered my food and was told to have a seat. The food was delivered to my table WHILE I WATCHED EMPIRE ON A FLAT SCREEN!!!!! Finally a fast food restaurant with class.

I usually love ordering from sonic since it’s a childhood favorite. Tonight I had the worst experience. I ordered online and it said my food was ready. I went through the drive thru since it’s cold outside and I’m pregnant. The employee said i needed to wait at the front of the store. This employee was piling orders and orders on top of each-other in VIEW, making delivery drivers and pick ups wait IN THE COLD for a long time! But here’s the best part. This employee came to the window with attitude! She handed me a drink that wasn’t mine and it was frozen SOLID. She then went to the back with attitude and gave me the correct drink. But this time it was FULL of ice, barely any beverage. My friend also ordered at the same time and we BOTH got sick with food poisoning after eating the food which means the food safety here is a concern. This employee is lazy, impatient and messy. No knowledge of customer service. She doesn’t make this company look good. She had no hairnet, and long lashes. Looked like a teen. I believe this needs to be reported to corporate or the manager needs to correct this behavior. I will be reaching out. As for someone who worked 10+ years in food service(me), I would’ve fired her immediately. DO BETTER.

The service here is terrible. I don’t understand why I work here when they can’t even say good afternoon. They urgently need to change the staff. I’ve had several encounters with different employees, and it seems like they all conspire to provide such awful service. Perhaps excellent for them!

I don’t know her name, but there’s an older African American woman that works here, she’s there all the time which is probably why her attitude is so disgusting. The way she talks to people is inhumane. You’d assume by her disdain she’s correct in what she’s saying, but she actually genuinely has poor knowledge of the menu and I believe due to her older age she especially lacks the knowledge of uber eats orders. You can clearly see in the photos added, a Mariana dipping sauce is included with the purchase of mozzarella sticks, you just have to select the box. I forgot to check said box and called asking politely for the sauce. She demanded that it’s a $00.27 up charge and refused to give it to me. She is the epitome of loud and wrong.

Horrible service. Employees attitudes is disgusting. Even forgot to give me back my change.
Their was an older lady, she understood my complaint. The young man even tried to talk over her and still have an attitude. She was alright and knew the new kid was wrong.

I think the employees are doing the best they can at this location. Because I have had varies of experience with dining at fast food for over 30 years. In my experience the middle class areas ALWAYS have the freshest ingredients alongside with service fresh cooked burgers/chicken sandwiches. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I picked it up at a different location.

Go there an they were not serving anything other then drinks. No explanation. For a fast food place to have no food just seems irresponsible. Unfortunately.

Took over an hour for my order to be made, 3 different drivers canceled because of how long they were taking, yet they still managed to give me both of my chicken sandwiches completely raw. So disgusting and unacceptable. If I get sick from taking a bite out of this you will be hearing from me again. Fire whoever was working at 10:00pm-11pm when I placed this order.

The attention is terrible, the staff always treats you badly, in addition to wearing the uniform very badly. They don’t wash their hands after touching the money and that’s how they’re going to pack the food, the time to wait for the food is extremely long more than half an hour and on top of that Apple Pay doesn’t work
The sad thing is that I see that I am not the only one who complains and the company does nothing about improving this place. Without hesitation it is better to go to another restaurant or die of hunger which is the same as eating in this place

10/7/25: The lady working the front tonight was very rude. On the app, I tried to put stall #10 (the stall I was in) and it wouldn’t let me so I put #1 and it went through. The lady comes out and I see her looking, so I let her know it’s mine. She said “you’re suppose to be over there” I explained to her what happened and she responded “you’re not suppose to be right here,” mind you I’m still in mobile order pick up – I just said ok, thank you. My drink didn’t have much flavor, so to avoid her I went through the drive through. I told the man in the driveway and he said it wasn’t anything he can do, I said even an extra pump and then she jumped on “that’ll be 27¢.” I came inside and waited at the counter. The first thing she said to me was “you’re the one I just told 27¢,” I said yes but can I speak to the manager or the lady right there(M) – still very calm. She said ok, that’s still 27¢. She finally goes to get her and says “ still charge her 27¢ because she thinks just because she knows someone she don’t have to pay.” I don’t even know this lady, just that she’s brought out my order before and isn’t rude. I explained it’s not about the money, it’s about the customer service. She started going back and forth with me saying “ she just mad she has to pay 27¢, if you had an issue you should’ve just came inside the first time, I only jumped in because he’s new and don’t know anything, you’re the only person that’s said anything today, etc. Then a lady ordering said “ yeah, it’s her attitude, she was going back and forth with a man right before you came in” & got upset the lady said that. The lady(M) told her to go in the back and she was still going. I have been coming here for years and this is my first time encountering her. Very distasteful.
