This place takes way to long in the drive through. Currently waiting in like for 30min and there’s still about 7 cars behind me with only one employee serving. Don’t come here if you don’t like waiting.

The restrooms was AWFUL gross and the floor was sticky and smelly. What happened to being sanitary?? If the employees use those restrooms- they are probably not being sanitary too. Someone is NoT doing their job by keeping these restrooms clean and sanitary. GROSS ..

We’ve tried this location twice now as it’s the closest sonic to us (about 20 minutes). Sometimes you’re just craving a slush or one of their other “staples”. Unfortunately, this location has gotten our order very wrong both times, bringing us the completely wrong orders. They’ve gotten attitude and been VERY rude with us both times when we’ve requested for our actual order to be brought out (as both times they’ve given us totally wrong orders). This last time, they finally brought what appeared to be the right order…and everything was still wrong, causing us to have to ask for additional assistance as they only got 1 item correct (the rest were nothing like what we ordered…). One of our slushes had the popping bubbles. They literally gave us 90% sprite, a little flavor, and 3 popping bubbles in the entire cup (they messed our slushes up last time too). Since they got upset when we asked if they could remake it or just add the bubbles, we asked if they could bring us the popping bubbles in a cup so we could add them. The attitudes got ruder, and they refused to even speak to us when they brought them out. ♂️ We still didn’t get the order completely correct, but we just left since we’d already been there for almost 30 minutes and they clearly weren’t wanting to help. I know some people get angry with this stuff…that’s not me. We were kind and soft in asking for assistance and understand people have bad days and things happen outside your control. They were decently busy this time (busier than the last time we went)…but they still weren’t nice and got our orders wrong when we were only 1 of 2, cars there the 1st time.
Overall, we love sonic for a nostalgic, comfort, cheat type of meal. Last night, we had a cheeseburger meal with a medium tot and a large slush. We also had a chili cheese footlong with mozzarella sticks and a large slush, and a garlic butter cheese burger (no side or drink). The total was $42.05 ( ) – disclaimer: they also took our receipt after handing us some items we didn’t ask for and then taking them back after we said we didn’t order them (not sure if we were wrongly charged as they then took the receipt and didn’t give it back). The service…we’ll go get the same or more food for less money on a greasy burger from Habit, red robin, five guys, or somewhere else next time unfortunately.

Ordered a new menu item from the app. My carhop was not only a skillful roller skater, flawless execution and fun to watch, she also was very professional and product knowledge was impressive. I wanted to order again just to watch her skate. When she finished with her delivery of my order she looked behind her back and skated backwards to do it again with her next delivery. I’ll be back

I’ve known about Sonic since back in 2001 when I lived in Georgia, so you can imagine my excitement when I found out they were opening a location here in California! It’s like getting a little piece of my memory back.
Now, let me tell you, my absolute favorite thing to eat at Sonic is their ice cream. Specifically, anything with Reese’s. I always go for extra Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups because, in my opinion, it just tastes better that way! But honestly, the ice cream alone is worth the trip. If I’m in the mood for something savory, their coney dogs hit the spot every time. I like pairing them with a strawberry nerd slush or a grape slush—definitely a fun, sweet combo.
There was a time when I came here almost every day to try something new off their menu. The variety is huge, and I got to taste everything from breakfast items to lunch to their desserts (which are my absolute favorite). If I had to pick my second favorite, it’d be the coney or Chicago dogs, but desserts take the crown for me!
What really adds to the experience is the nostalgic touch of the rollerblading servers. I love the old-school vibe and how they’ll skate your food to you—it’s a nice reminder of the good ol’ days of our grandparents time- being here sort of gives it an old-timey vibe from the 60’s.
Keep in mind, this place can get pretty crowded on weekends or late at night, so be ready to wait a bit. But overall, if you’re craving classic American comfort food, this is the spot to hit up!

Came inside just trying to pass the time while my son is playing basketball across the street. Ordered a crispy tender dinner biggest one they had was 5 piece thinking for 14 bucks it’d be a good amount but I got 5 BABY tenders 1 piece of toast 1 onion and a few tater tots lol so sad looking my and my wife just kinda laughed… and then my other son ordered a hot fudge shake for 6.49 for a small and there’s barely any fudge and it was definitely small. I usually don’t leave reviews but Golly man for 23$ and I got this sad looking box kinds had to… i guess I’ll stick with the burgers here??

We walked into the restaurant to eat inside. A half dozen homeless people were scattered about with another loon walking in and out. I strongly recommend to eat outside or go elsewhere.

Nice spot to get a cool drink on the way to UCR. Drive thru line moves fast. Drinks serve fast.

Do not come to the sonic one they have spiders and flies and mosquitoes in their drink. I have proof here’s a picture and when you confront them with this issue, they ignore the issue and just talk rudely back to you and just want to give you a new one rather than accommodate you, and Take care of the bill and give you a complementary something… The guy was extremely sassy and rude towards me and my husband and I would not trust this place at all. Not only do they not acknowledge when you don’t want a simple cherry on your shake they look at you like it’s not a big deal take it out and they take forever on top of all of this horrible service and disgusting food and shakes
