    1/4 chicken with 2 sides
    Lyubov L.

    Wow!!! Honestly I am impressed how simple, but so delicious food is here. This place definitely deserves a higher rating. Cashier took order and was so kind and patient with us. I don't eat cilantro and he suggested alternatives to my dish so I can enjoy without cilantro. Really good service, good food for a very good price, super delicious lemonade. My new favorite food for pre run day.

    To be honest, I usually always have a problem with my order at any location I go to. But I love the food so I keep coming back... My sister and I placed mobile orders and my pick up time was 5 mins before hers. When we got there, we were a little early so waited a bit. After about 10-15 minutes of waiting, at this point it was past my sister's pick up time so she asked an employee if our food would be on the shelf as soon as it's ready or if we needed to let them know we were there. She let us know that they try to time it so that it's hot and ready when people arrive. Employee checked and my sister's food was already done, even though she ordered after me? She ordered a churrasco steak platter but was missing sauce that it comes with. We waited an additional 5 minutes for my order to be finished and it was missing beans. I didn't feel like going back in for them because we had already been waiting awhile. Service is slow and not very attentive.. I always have to check my order before leaving the store.

    Grilled Chicken Breasts and mashed potatoes
    Jeanette R.

    Luckily there was no line so no waiting, a good thing I thought. Since they always get my mashed potatoes order wrong, I decided to order brown rice instead. Silly me. The rice was so dry it was like it was still raw. I originally was a bit upset because my 2 orders of rice was only one container but now I see it as a good thing. This was horrible. At least the chicken was edible.

    No DIY today. Safety first.

    This restaurant in Oviedo is one of the nicer ones. Stopped for a quick lunch on a Sunday and luckily beat the rush. We ordered a few tropichop bowls, one with their vegan beyond meat picadillo, which a nice alternative for people not eating meat. They have a slew of plant-based toppings as well with their onions, peppers, corn, and tomatoes. On this visit, being sanitary was a priority, so the sauce bar was closed, but you could ask for whatever you needed. Also, they provided the cutlery, straws, and lids for your drinks. I did try and get a lid for my drink on the way out, but they were busy and I was unable to accomplish that task. Oh, they have chicken too! And other meats. If you have a mix of people that are herbivore/carnivore types, then this is a great stop.

    While we're on the tropic of bad chicken, this was some of the worst I had anywhere. Some of the worst chicken I've had for my post workout snack, and it was dried out and it was expensive. Also, the people working here were extremely unfriendly and lacking hygiene. With such a bad experience, I expect my first experience of this chain could easily end up being my last.

    Cold yucca fries! Terrible
    Brigitte K.

    We used to come here many times a week Now soup has half of ingredients missing and corn is field corn which is supposed to be fed to pigs and cows! Very disappointed. Will not return

    This slop is their sorry excuse for chicken soup. Not even close to what they advertise and no chicken!
    Candice L.

    Absolutely terrible! I went to get their chicken soup which is advertised as having yuca,,plantains,,corn on the cob,,chicken,,pumpkin etc and it had nothing! Not even a piece of chicken!! Pure slop! I didn't receive the cilantro garlic sauce I asked for and was never thanked at the drive thru. I will never return and I feel so ripped off. Also,,the drive thru reeked of garbage smell which is completely unappetizing when placing a food order. Wow! Steer clear!! Pic attached.

    What we thought we ordered...

    We ordered online for pick up in 19 minutes (per the website...) We timed our arrival to minimize the wait, but it still took an additional 15 minutes after our arrival. We had ordered the steak, based on the picture on the website, but the food we received was a disappointment. The serving size of steak was nothing like the picture.

    Chicken was dry overcooked and very small portion. Needs improvement and not worth the money.

    I know this Sonic has a bunch of bad reviews, so maybe giving it five stars puts my credibility at…read morerisk--but I can only call it how I taste it. I've eaten here before and never thought much of it. But today? Everything just clicked. The $6 All-American Smash Burger with fries and a Coke was shockingly good. I'm talking "one of the best burgers I've had in a while" good. Fresh, hot, juicy, with crispy edges and a perfect amount of condiments dripping down my hand. You could tell the cook actually cared--pickles spread out, tomato centered, ketchup/mayo/mustard evenly distributed. That never happens at fast-food places. The fries were hot and freshly cooked, and the Coke had great carbonation. I ordered through the app at spot #4. It said five minutes but ended up being nine--not a big deal. The woman who brought out the order was very polite, double-checked everything, and made sure it was right. Only small gripe: the Sonic app only lets you select five condiments. I wanted four ketchups but had to settle for one salt, two peppers, and two ketchups. Bottom line: unexpectedly excellent meal today.

    I've only been here twice. Each time my order has come out correctly and customer service isn't bad…read morebut it was a 25 min wait time for Ice cream & another time it was a 25 min wait time for tots.

Obviously we haven't been there in a long time and we're not very happy with the changes. The staff was very friendly and helpful, but you have to order on a kiosk. I asked if we couldn't just have a menu and sit down and they said no you had to order on the kiosk, but they were very helpful and showed us everything on the kiosk and then they told you to go get your drink. What I didn't know is that you have to scan your receipt first before you can pour your own tea. I was also disappointed in the menu. They don't even have salads anymore, so I ordered a hotdog and I asked for a side of coleslaw instead of french fries. Nope! They don't even have coleslaw anymore. The hotdog was good. The meat seems like good quality. I was just kind of disappointing that you couldn't get what you actually wanted. My husband got some kind of double cheeseburger and a milkshake. He said they were both very good. He said that the meat was better quality than most of the fast food burger places. Ambience well it's really bright and pretty with the red and white and black color but you have to be willing to bus your own tables and bring your own food to the table. I will have to say that the manager that was very kind. Seeing my husband's medical condition he did bring the food to our table without us even asking. I guess we had just expected to go in and sit down and get a menu and relax a bit. Instead, you gotta work for your lunch you reminded me of the grocery stores that are putting in all the self checkout.
