With the…read moreArco gas station next door (our final gas stop)- I wanted to find a food joint that was convenient, provided outdoor seating WITH shade (mid summer) in the blistering sun, and have ample parking to have a clear view of our bikes and our personal baggage visible to us. I had no idea restrooms were available til after we placed our orders at the walk up kiosks in the patio area. I figured this Sonic location was ideal since the gas station was next door and we could use those, just in case. While placing our orders on the touch screen monitor- I noticed it wasn't our order on the screen- but, our friends on the opposite side. LOL. But, when other friend placed hers on the monitor we used- it worked like usual. Because of the hiccup we had- we were able to submit our orders and the employee used a hand held payment machine. It's been forever (like 10 years) since I've ordered Sonic. But, the first time opting for the outdoor patio. The Groovy Fries are a must (crinkle cut fries are nostalgic); mozzarella sticks are as expected- and a lil bacon cheeseburger hits the spot. Wasn't in the mood for their syrup flavored drinks and opted for a very cold bottled water to use my Liquid IV. Service is swift. Great location to Looky Lou and clean restrooms.

Overall, I'd say it's a good choice for a pizza made from scratch. My only real negative was the customer service. The lady at the counter seemed uninterested and somewhat oblivious to basic customer service. I called my order in ahead of time, paid when I arrived, and was told it would be another 10 minutes. I came back just nine minutes later, and she had already forgotten my name and that I had paid. Place was empty as well, not busy. No offer of parmesan cheese or hot chili flakes. Finally, the caesar salad we ordered was large and came with a tiny, I mean super tiny plastic thimble of dressing barely enough to cover a leaf of lettuce. The pizza was definitely worth trying, but a little more attention to the customer experience would make the visit much better... and maybe more salad dressing?

A steak and cheese should be hot, fresh, and made properly--not something that tastes like it's been sitting around. I kept giving this location another chance thinking the previous visit was just a bad day, but clearly the quality and consistency have gone downhill. Three bad experiences in a row is enough for me.

The estimated delivery window is extremely misleading--it keeps changing over and over, so you really have no idea when your food is actually going to arrive.

This has happened enough times that it clearly isn't just a one-time problem. Between the excessive wait times, constantly changing delivery estimates, and incorrect orders, ordering from here is simply not worth the frustration. I would not recommend this place for delivery.

The space itself is fun and a bit quirky, with some souvenirs for sale and a couple of extra sweet-tooth stations beyond the ice cream. It has personality, I'll give it that. Service was the weak spot. Our server seemed to be juggling multiple stations at once, which might explain why the interaction felt a bit flat. Not unfriendly exactly, just not engaged. More going through the motions than welcoming you in. The ice cream, though, still holds its ground. Creamy, tasty, and exactly the kind of indulgence you're craving after a long, hot day. That part hasn't lost its magic. All in, it satisfied the craving, but didn't quite recreate the memory. Still worth it for the ice cream, just don't expect the full nostalgic glow to show up with it.

ANYWAY. We have been here a couple of times - will usually stop by here when we're in Joshua Tree. On Saturdays, there is a Farmer's Market in the parking lot, so it gets pretty crowded. This last time we went, I got an iced strawberry matcha, and my partner got the chai iced tea. Both with almond milk. They still charge a surplus for non-dairy, which feels so 2022. But anyway. The drinks were delicious. We also got an almond croissant, which doesn't look like much, but it was AMAZING. And then the quiches. Oh, the quiches. I had such high hopes for these, especially since we were primed with refreshing drinks and a tasty pastry. These quiches are muffin-sized, perfect for a light meal or a heavier snack, and they look super cute. They will heat them up for you. When we went, they had bacon cheddar and spinach feta. We got one of each. My friends, these were so disappointing. First, no flavor. We asked for ketchup or hot sauce to give it a bit of acid, because it was basically egg all the way through. Solid wall of egg that tasted like the powdered egg you get at one of those corporate conference catered breakfasts. I had one tiny sliver of bacon in mine, and my partner was playing hide and seek with the spinach, and the spinach was winning. The crust itself was rubbery and chewy, not flaky like I would expect a quiche to be. I mean, it was palatable and not super expensive. I'm just not sure if you're selling food, you want it to just be "palatable". Last time, we got a savory veggie pie, and that was pretty good, so they DO have good savory foods. I think the quiches were just a huge miss this time. Bathroom is clean and single-stalled. Parking is easy in the lot, and on Farmer's Market days, I mean, c'mon, it's Joshua Tree, it's not like there isn't space on the streets too.

I felt like the pulled pork sandwich could be hotter (temperature) but the flavor was decent and I enjoyed it. The brisket sandwich was a lot warmer and was also very good, if there ever is a next time I would go with the brisket sandwich again. Had a side of fries and a side of potato salad which I actually didn't try but it was a decent portion. The fries honestly weren't good at all but having them with ranch helps a lot. Lastly we also had their homemade cheesecake, my boyfriend wasn't a fan but I don't think it was that bad. One slice is more than enough for two! Please also keep in mind that they charge a dollar for every side of ranch that you get, we were okay with it because we thought the sides would be larger but they are just a regular tiny size! Service was alright. When picking up I noticed customers would rather sit outside than inside. But when walking into the restaurant to pick up It looked nice and clean.
