    As you can see I paid for these but should have gotten the regular ranch that's came with the order.
    LaShawn G.

    I had to drop the stars down because I paid for (2) extra dipping sauces which I should have gotten (1) ranch that's comes with the cheddar peppers and the additional jalapeño ranch I paid for and only received the jalapeño ranch. Never recede andy ketchup for my onions rings...so don't know if someone didn't read or just was moving too fast. Please pay attention to each persons orders.

    The chocolate milkshake missing the Oreo pieces and peanut butter add-ins.

    I am 32 weeks pregnant and had a sweet tooth so my husband decided to order us some milkshakes from Sonic. He ordered a Chocolate milkshake with Oreo pieces and peanut butter add-ins. I ordered a Cheesecake Milkshake with Strawberry add-ins. When we receieved our order we both noticed that both of our milkshakes were missing their add-ins. My husband did not have his peanut butter or oreos and I did not have my strawberries. Regardless of the missing ingredients, we were determined to enjoy our treats. But to my surprise, whoever made my milkshake neglected to mix in the cheesecake syrup that they pumped into the bottom of my milkshake. So imagine my surprise when I stick my straw into my milkshake and take a big sip and get all cheesecake syrup. I almost threw up! Im 32 weeks pregnant, that is unacceptable. No one wants to ingest just plain cheesecake syrup. I was sympathetic to the missing toppings because it was 11pm when we ordered our milkshakes, but I draw the line at not stirring in syrup into my milkshake. THAT was intentional and neglectful.

    Didn't get any service at the drive in, so we went to the drive though and the attendant told us several food options were not available and we ultimately decided not to place an order... we'll try again on another time/date. Disappointed this time.

    Orders a Classic Crispy Chicken Sandwich Combo and got 2 bacon cheeseburgers instead
    Alicia L.

    I used to come here quite a few times as it was near my church but since I moved it's harder to get out this way. It's sad that this is such an awful location bc it's the closest sonic to me (about a 45min drive). Anyhow, I decided to give them another try. They get my order wrong more times than not. This last time, I went around 11pm and ordered a chicken sandwich combo. When I got home, I was surprised to find 2x double bacon cheeseburgers and onion rings. The only thing they got right was the drink. I didn't think to check before I left bc it was already late and I just wanted to get home, which was about a 45m drive, and I should have to do QA on my order... I've never had an issue with customer service. Everyone seems friendly. I just wish they would get my order right...at least once. So if you order from here, make sure to check first.

    Waiting for food

    Very slow service. The food was good but the service was slow. Still you are not able to order inside of the store. This adds to the slow service because you must wait in the drive thru and only about three of the park and order lanes were open. I'm astonished because this chain is known for good quality food and service. The prices are pretty high, two milkshakes for around $10, both were small crazy.

    Had to wait in line much longer in the drive thru cos there was only one attendant I think. But she was polite. So overall, good service. Food looked good and smells good.

    They haven't had anything in stock since the past three times i've been. Not sure how they are staying open - didn't even have large cups!

On a brioche roll that was so soft...veggies were fresh. Added some sweet potatoes fries...the only thing that was missing is a couple crisp pickle spears. Will definitely come back...(just not in a Friday night)....saw they had impossible burger on the menu so I'll have to come back and try that one of these days. And let me tell you- Club Auth Rd was jumping this evening....hahaaaa! The pizza place on the corner had a patio section that was given club DC in the early 2000's lol The parking lot was packed on a Friday night. We literally drove around the parking lot for 10 mins trying to find parking... Unfortunately the restaurant didn't allow call ahead orders soooooo.... I insisted we wait in out since we had already taken the ride... The hubs and I were definitely reminiscing about the good ol days...hahaaaa!!! Noted! Will not come back on a Friday night!

The young lady who helped us was cheerful, friendly, and genuinely pleasant. I apologize that I forgot her name, but she definitely deserves recognition. The food was your typical quick burger-and-fries meal, but everything was hot and fresh. The restaurant was also clean, and the prices were noticeably lower than most places these days. My only suggestion would be to keep paper towels stocked in the restroom. Overall, it's definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. I didn't take pictures we were starving!

    I found out about this restaurant from Instagram!…read more This is my 5th time ordering from Birds! I usually cook dinner daily and eat out about twice a month. THIS IS MY GO TO RESTAURANT. There aren't many great restaurants on this end and Bird's kitchen by far the freshest, cleanest and has the best food quality.

I had one minor inconvenience, and they made it right. Do yourself a favor, and support this black owned, lovely business. You won't be disappointed.

When I arrived I had a bit of a wait, which was to be expected, but Bird greeted me and explained that it would be a few minutes. It's a small waiting area, but a few people came in and out and all seemed to be regular customers. That's usually an indication that the food will be amazing. The saucy wings were sweet and spicy. Really nice flavor and perfectly cooked! The Thanksgiving turkey burger was unique and really flavorful, with the onions and peppers cooked in the patty and the cranberry topping. The fries may have been my favorite thing. They were fresh, hot, and delicious! The strawberry cheesecake looked too good not to get, and I'm happy I did! Peach lemonade was also a hit!

I visited at 5 PM on a Monday, right after they opened. We got some burgers and fries. The Terlingua Burger ($13 for single patty) comes with cheese, beef chili, onion and yellow mustard. The chili didn't stay on the burger. It was basically beef with more beef. Tasty but not that interesting. The Lancaster ($12 single) had bacon, cheese, pickled onion, tomato relish, and arugula. It was a bit sweet with the tomato relish. Pretty good overall. Fries ($6) are "curly-ish" in a shape I've never seen before. I didn't think they would have the right balance of soft to crispy, but they were great. Happy hour includes a $2 tallboy beer which is impossible to beat anywhere in DC. The Montucky Cold Snap was a light lager, like you'd expect. The place is small, but cute. I like the two-person mini-booths and the Tex Mex decor. 20% auto-grat even thought it's not a full service restaurant. They have signs on the table inviting you to get your own silverware, napkins, and condiments. We ordered by QR code and had staff bring us the food and bus the table.
