    A sandwich with the peice of plastic inside
    Oliver

    Normally, we have no issues with this establishment. However, on July 26th, we went and drove up. we ordered our food like normal, and my mother, who was with me at the time, found a piece of plastic in her sandwich, and then, as she was finishing up, she found another one and if she would've swallowed it her throat could've been damaged severely.

    This sonic has the worst service. No carbonated drinks. App does not work. None of their car hop drive ups do not work.

    Two weeks and still nasty.

    There are 3522 Sonic Drive-Ins in the US and you have found absolutely THE worst one! For over a year now most of the red buttons on the menu board have been broken! When you ask them, they say "yeah we know." No sign on them, nothing. Not sure how the drive thru has priority over someone coming to eat there, but they do. I watched 6 different cars pull into the drive thru, order, and leave before our order was taken! They have no outdoor cleaning protocol apparently. One order kiosk has had mud all over it for over two weeks! Today I sat there for 16 minutes waiting to order and heard two other cars that pulled in after us place their order!? Sonic has been around for 71 years. That's plenty of time get some kind of business standard established. Rock bottom customer service. For a faster burger, go to the sale barn and buy a calf. In 4 years or so, you'll be set.

    For full disclosure, my superior rating is to offset the other horrendous reviews that seem just so unfounded. Furthermore, I don't like reviewing fast food chain restaurants, other than service they're all identical! Nevertheless, I just can't see all of these onesies and twosies for this joint. We stopped in on the way to the McCall's Pumpkin Patch and were totally satisfied. So if you're reading, corporate folk, it has improved. Extremely prompt response on the intercom, fast delivery time after ordering and everything was correct. The actual grub was exactly what one would expect, so I just don't get all the negativity. So current readers, it's not nearly as bad as previous reviewers annotated. It's a Sonic, what more do you want? Cheers!

    After getting to the bottom of drink and ice.....this is what was left.

    Workers are really nice but I can't get past the sandy grit that was found at the bottom of every drink I purchased yesterday. All 3 of the Route 44 Cokes I purchased for myself and my kids had some sort of dirty grit in the cups. As you can see from the pics I added here, it's pretty disgusting and has ended our visits to this location.

    The food is good but service is slow. I know they don't have much help for employees. But still so slow.

    First time going to this location. I'm sad to say it wasn't as stellar as I had originally…read moreanticipated. This start off by saying the employee there was not very friendly. He walked away as I approached the counter. I was confused as I wasn't aware I had to order on the tablet on the counter. When I began using the tablet I was in search of the new mushroom burger they sent me an email yesterday about. Of course you know it's what I wanted to try. Sadly it wasn't on the menu on the tablet. When I called the employee for help I basically got the vibe he didn't want to be there and he was hesitant to approach. When he did come to the counter I asked about the burger even showed him the email to get told it's not out yet and it was coming soon. I found myself wondering why I even got the email if this was true. Needless to say the food came out really fast. I thought well that's good at least. The presentation was better than the experience. The cheese on the queso fries was pretty skimpy. There were way more fries than cheese which was disappointing. The burger I wasn't a fan of either. It needed more cheese and the stackers sauce tasted strange like it a chipotle sauce it wasn't the same as I recalled. I'm sad to say this is the second location I've had a bad experience with. It's really disappointing because I really loved this place. I guess I'll have to stick to the central food hall because so far that's the only location that hasn't disappointed me like this yet.

    Still excellent I just wanted to make sure that I didn't confuse Indian food with Pakistani food…read morebecause that could get me in real trouble went again this evening and it was still fantastic.

    Small diner-type place. I was skeptical at first, but I wasn't paying, so I enjoyed my time. . …read more lol I could not decide on what to get. When you are hungry, everything looks good. I decided to stay with the Mexican food theme. I had a taco, an enchilada, and a chile relleno. Everything was good! I haven't had a good chile relleon in a long time, and this one was good. The sauce was good on the enchilada. Everything was good. I had a tickle in my throat, and the chile was a bit spicy and made me cough, but it was good. I enjoyed the food and the company. If I am in the area again I will come back.

    Been dieing for a shower, and pulled up my rig to this One9 Truck Stop that I've never bothered to…read morestop by. Felt like I was shot back in time to the 90s on route 66. The restrooms were retro, very 90s, run down but clean, and if I was running from the Sinaloa Cartel...I could picture myself hiding in a place like this. Almost like a mix between the films Memento and Breaking Bad. But yes, Lisa's Grill. I had to stop in at this Southwestern Flare Diner! It's situated inside the truck stop, with a very 70s & 80s atomic age diners vibe like that one scene in the Kingsmen movie. Loved the ceiling, bold colored red, glossy, with silver...makes Johnny Rockets look artificial. So I had to try their top picks on the menu. The Red Rooster -- country fried steak with red hot sauce, and their hatch chilli burgers. The food was ok, Id probably rate a 3.5/5. Menu is heavily influenced by Spanish cuisine. If your looking for a quick breakfast along route 66 in Central New Mexico, this is a good spot to take a break. Overall service, environment food I'd give it a 4/5. Seems pretty popular amongst the locals, and place is pretty packed for a lunch run. Yea, definitely come check it out!

    At just 20 mins away from southeast Albuquerque, Rumor Brewing serves the Cedar Crest community…read more The place felt homey and rustic, with a nice view of the mountains. There was a bit of live music on the patio after some rain. Both outside and inside spaces were plenty. The young server was very attentive and was on top of things. We went with friends so we sampled a few things. Our friends ordered the chicken bbq pizza and dry rub wings, while we ordered the chicken pesto and the New Mexican pizza. The thin crust on all pizzas was perfect, with a good balance between crunchy and soft. The green chile from the New Mexican pizza had a kick, the bbq chicken was tasty, and the pesto was smooth and mild. We all agreed that the pizzas needed more cheese.The wings were crispy but the rub didn't have flavor and the chicken was a bit dry. For our drinks, I got the Golden Ale while everyone else got La Madera. The Golden was smooth, lagers, with a bit of hoppiness. La Madera was a mild, dark, sweet ale that was quite good. Overall, this was a very nice experience on a rainy evening, with good brick oven pizzas and a nice dark beer. The wings, though could have been better. However, we are planning a second visit to try other items.

    Took a cruise to Cedar Crest just to try this place and we were not disappointed…read more It's a small cozy place with a nice outside area which drew me to the place.

They call these 2 places "ghost towns" which is a bit of a misnomer. I do think that Madrid and Virginia City Nevada have a similar abandoned mining town vibe that we both found charming. And with the exception of the Virginia City Hat Maker, Madrid has better art. We came in on a Friday and just before a weekend music festival was to begin with the Mine Shaft being a major participant. We missed all than, but wouldn't have minded a little early live music. We snagged a nice outdoor table on the deck and enjoyed 2 different types of delicious brisket, along with generous portion of fries. I had a local beer, while Gayle had wine. We took our time and really enjoyed our time here. Until next time....
