Waiting is long, place looks like it needs company love to its parking stations; dirty and needs a check up. The food is not great but I don't think you can get really sick from it. The service was nice. I'll give it another try if it looks like it got some sort of fix to its appearance. I do say it's within the area of newer complexes so it stands out. read more

Terrible service. Terrible wait time. Terrible corporate care. Lucky if you get what you ordered and you pay when you order and no refund is given when the item is not available. If you enjoy terrible this is your place! Have fun! read more

No napkins, food was hardly cooked, service was of awful quality and they were disrespectful. The place also looks like shit.

Wish I ran these places when I was younger and in the restaurant business. The concept is great and people love the old drive-in concept. There's no reason these places are jammed full of kids on weekends like in the 50s-60s. It's the food quality that's holding them back. Even for kids. Heck! Advertising to draw high school kids with a safe place with quality food and sides would be and easy fix. The menu needs to be reduced down and focus on food quality. As is, the quality leaves a lot to be desired. read more

This place sucks I waited 45 minutes just for this place the people were nice but that doesn't make up for bad service, I was so excited for my rainbow slush and it was melted I was so mad so I finished eating my freezing cold burger and left! 1 star!!! read more

Ok, so admittedly, I primarily order the same thing when I come to Sonic. The Coney Dog no onions (ok, 2 of them ). Since I haven't experienced the horrible wait times that others have described in their reviews, I have nearly always had positive experiences. I do admit that I am really disappointed that they did away with the sauerkraut option on the hotdogs. I like that you can personalize most of the drinks and some of the food options. I really like the chili recipe that they use also. Guess I don't understand all the hate. I will be back. read more

It's a hit or miss place. One time everything on order wrong.And next time it delicious! So not sure what's going on!

Raw hamburger! Waited 30 minutes! Onion rings falling apart, didn't get some of my order!! Disgusting!!!!!!!!! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Cold food and poor service . Save your money and if you want real bad food just go to McDonald's

Boyfriend and I came over to Sonic after shopping at Publix, we left Publix at 9:01pm. We placed our order at Sonic at 9:07. It's currently 9:59 and we still do not have our food. We hit the order button again around 9:40 asking what was going on, an employee came out and told us they sold our food to someone else..... so that's cool. They asked us if we wanted to place our order again.... So we did, but the employee didn't offer a discount or anything, I had to ask for one. He was the same person that took our original order over the speaker ‍ read more

last order was a disaster. this one not much better. everything completely cold. onion Onion Rings were half bag and smashed. Groovy Fries and Tots half filled. Quarter Pound Double Cheeseburger smashed and so much sauce or mayo on it it's a cold, messy, falling apart disaster. kids meal is ok per the child. slushie was good. corn dog ate ok. I wanted to give another try after last order on 9/14. should have went elsewhere. no one got back to me from last order and still I gave it another try. it sucks because it's always been one of my favorites but tired of paying good money for a bag or two of inedible trash. it looks like it was pulled out of the dumpster and sent on its way. delivered to wrong address. thankfully was able to get the order. good luck to y'all. deal me out, I fold read more

Ok they did mess up my order but they did also fix it and waiters are nice still no roller skates but I will say a solid 4 out of 5

I have eaten at sonic out of state and the food was very good, but our local one seems like service was below average and the. Food was also. If I didn't know better it look like the mgr was the cook and waitress. I guess I have wait to my next trip out of town to go to sonic read more

Don't expect to get what you ordered. My husband and I ordered from Sonic and they cheated us out of our onion rings, and they initially forgot to give us one of the shakes we ordered; we told them, and they brought the missing one out to the car. When we got home, we realized his shake was the wrong flavor. The Oreo Chocolate Shake is good, and burger wasn't bad, but the service is crappy; we just didn't get everything we ordered. read more

Today, July 1, 2024, my daughter ordered a pizza. Honestly, it was a joke. The pizza did not have cheese and they cooked it first and then added the ingredients. We were all disgusted by the way they made the pizza. I don't recommend anyone eating that pizza. read more

I placed an order through the app. I ordered food along with an Oreo cheesecake blast and I added brownie pieces. They got it wrong the first time, I went back and they got it wrong again. And when they remade it, it was just vanilla ice cream with a scoop of cheesecake at the top, no Oreos, no brownies, and no cheesecake pieces. The first one was just vanilla ice cream with a couple of brownie pieces at the top. Nothing was mixed in and they just couldn't get a simple blast order right. read more

Went 2 weeks ago & was told " take a good look at the menu I'll be with you in 25 minutes ". Fast forward to today I stand at the screen trying to order and it's on & reactive. 5 minutes go by no answer, finally a lady walking by that works there explains that the screen doesn't work try somewhere else. D- for effort. Went to Taco Bell and was out with food within 2 minutes. This sonic is poorly run & no fixes to be seen. read more

Service awful and waited over 45min and never received my food. Manager argued with me and accused me of moving stalls. Told me to complain to corporate, which I have. Will never ho back! read more

We boycotted sonic for 7 years because an employee stole from us on the job and everyone in the location, it was a different location than this one, stuck up for him and didn't help us out. Finally decided 7 years is a while I'll try it again. Ordered 2 burgers 2 fries 2 deserts, get home and missing a burger, amazing what a great chain! Should of boycotted them for life. Also the food we got was horrible so can't even say that read more

As soon as I pulled up I knew it was going to be a bad experience off the rip because there was 5 to 6 different bays that were not working I press the button I could do not I waited 15 to 20 minutes for somebody to come on keep in mind I placed an order online and it wasn't working and waited another 15 minutes for my food that was placed 15 minutes before I got there ordered a dill pickle burger get a regular burger with no fucking fried pickles if I could get this place -5 stars I would never ever coming back here again I understand it's not the peoples fault but at the same time this company needs to get his shit together or it needs to shut down this location because it's terrible The corndogs weren't even cooked as well on top of all of that read more

Reallllly bad service. Pulled up and waited about 20 minutes after pressing the red button. Was getting impatient so talked to a staff member and said we had been waiting for long and she said she would help in a minute. Waited longer, finally decided to move to a different stall. When ordering, told the staff member taking our order about the stall we were waiting at previously and they said, "oh yeah that one's broken, sorry". Was not reimbursed or met with any accommodations for waiting so long. Waited even longer for our food to be ready. I understand these are minimum wage workers and I respect them, but it looks like maybe there needs to be better management. Hopefully they'll consider upping their customer service game. read more

they serve "food" here. we ate their slop here during a car meet but we should have taken the fact it was run down, and not much people were there. the three of us have terrible food poisoning right now and i completely regret going to sonic read more

Service was fine, however the food was horrible. You could tell they're frying with old oil. And the chili on my tots was black. I regret stopping there and you should avoid it at all cost. read more

don't get me wrong, the food hit, but when it comes to the drive through service that's where the 2 stars come from. pulled up, got in line with no one in front of us, felt a little rushed to give them my order even though she did tell me to take my time, we got to the window where i was told that they were out of dr pepper so we were already bouta throw hands and then they proceeded to tell my best friend that they were also out of onion rings, on the verge of tears at the point of time, and then we sat waiting for a good 20 minutes for my order. i really didn't feel like being let down tonight, but sonic made that happen, cmon y'all put some pep in your step and be better 1.5/10 burger was scrumptious though read more

THIS $HIT GO HARD and it was super quick and employees were very kind. I ordered Mozzarella sticks, french fries, and two shakes. Food was warm and ice cream was delicious. read more

I found a cockroach floating in my iced tea. It was sealed with a sticker so it came with the drink. I had found another when I emptied a bag with leftover condiments. Can't go back. Ever. read more

I can't even give them one star but it's required to post. Ordered an Ultimate breakfast burrito which was 4 inches long instead of the 8-10 inch burrito I have ordered in the past. It was supposed to have cheese and tater tots but none were found. What has happened to them they used to be fair, today not even. read more

Ridiculous place. I waited 15 minutes for a small milkshake and in the end I just left. There was nothing to cook, nothing to grill.... Just a small milkshake. No communication, nothing. This place is a joke read more

Sadly, I showed up to the location and proceeded to wait 10 minutes after pushing the button. Come to find out all of the employees are outside in the back of the restaurant vaping and carrying duffel bags. Very disappointed. Would give zero stars due to 0 SERVICE! read more

I ordered honey BBQ chicken and all I got was a bunch of small fried pieces. There was no chicken in the bowl.

The manager, Tony, was awesome. I utilize the Sonic App all the time for 1/2 off deals. The App was down and Tony still took care of us. Not only did he honor the 1/2 off App special, he went above and beyond to ensure any inconvenience was not looked on unfavorably. This guy is outstanding in the customer service department, something sorely lacking in today's fast food industry. Thanks for going above and beyond Tony, you rock!!! read more

Simply the worst Sonic cheeseburger ever, burnt meat, dry, hardly any condiments on the burger, yuck.

Placed our order and everything was fine. THEN we waited 30+ minutes for our order, pressed the button again to see what happened, and they claimed to have already brought the food out to us. We didn't have any food or drinks. They got the food out to us eventually though. Forgot to give us straws and spoons with our floats. So I had to run in to get some, not that big of a deal but still annoying after the long wait. No one was sorry about our experience. I love sonic back home in PA, but this one sucks. read more

Never got our food we ordered lol. Sometimes the food comes sometimes it doesnt i guess it depends on if its your lucky day or not

Service was slow and food was disgusting. They were friendly enough, but it took 20 minutes to get our food (2 chili cheese dogs). Finally we buzzed again and asked if it was almost ready. They claimed to be super busy (3 cars there) and then moments later our food arrived at the car. Ice cold. Probably a poor decision on our part to order the chili cheese dogs, but their menu selection was minimal. Tossed the bun since it was soaked in orange grease. Hot dog and chili tasted like they might have been made from roadkill. Never again. read more

The owner isn't watching this place. What a joke. A bunch of kids not doing anything. Tried to get food no one answered. Also place was really dirty. Stir clear. read more

I arrived at the stall and ordered my food at 10:43. By the time the food came out it had taken 20 mins. They got both of the blast ordered wrong, I sent my husband's back. A bit into my wait a girl stopped by and said that they were working on it but the blast machine was running out of soft serve and they were waiting for it to freeze but they were working on it. In total a half hour passed. I have been here for almost an hour now. I push the red button and wait. 5 minutes pass, I push the button again. Someone answered after another minute. I remind them that I'm waiting for my blast that they were supposed to be remaking. They asked what it was because no one had been making it. I tell them and then it's out in less then 2 minutes. By this time my food that was only slightly warm when I got it a half hour ago was cold and I still had to drive home.0/10 on everything. read more
