Sonic has a very good smash burger. Enjoy their fries. Also enjoyed their caramel sundae. Service is always good. I live really close to a Sonic so it's super convenient to grab some dinner or lunch. read more

I asked for Nerds in my slushie. I drove 30 mins out of my way and was really looking forward to it.

Waited at the drive thru for 3 minutes no body there. This was noon on a Monday. Drove around and there were people eating inside. I drove back by menu board and again waited and finally left. Are they closed??? read more

The actual manager messed up our order of a burger chicken bites and chili cheese tater tots and they gave us 2 ordered of mozzarella sticks a wrong burger and the only thing right was the chicken bites and they couldn't do anything to fix it. Absolutely ridiculous! Never coming here again read more

I have never been to a worse sonic. They didn't get a single part of my order right. I ordered a smash burger with bacon and jalapeños, cheese sticks, and a blue coconut slush with nerds. My smash burger had no bacon or jalapeño's, My slush had no nerds, and I waited over half an hour when there was only 4 cars in the parking lot. If you are looking to go to a good sonic, avoid this one at ALL costs. It's horrible read more

Tried this Sonic Burgers in Franklin pk. about 4 years ago and it was horrible ... I thought maybe it would have changed and went there today ... Its still horrible in all aspects ... as soon as you walk in the place to order your food you can see the filth all over the place ...I could go on and on about all the Bad things about this place but I think you get the message ...Would not go back there even if the food was free ......HORRIBLE read more

I have come here many, many times, and I have never had a negative experience. Sure, the food is fast food, so it's not always the most amazing quality, but to be honest, I have never not liked the food and it has always been consistent every time I've visited. I have never had to wait a long time for someone to talk to me through the speaker, either. Service has always been pretty good! However, I also have never gone through the drive-thru because no matter who I go with, we always go through the drive-in lanes. My favorite foods here are the tots (you NEED to order these; they are DELICIOUS), the cheddar peppers (jalapeno poppers), and the popcorn chicken. All very good, but the chicken is sometimes overcooked. I've also tried the pretzel dogs here, which are always fresh and good, and the mozz sticks are pretty good, too, with stretchy cheese. Oooooh and you do need to try the slushies because the blue coconut one is awesome (ask for pop rocks). You can get nerds in there, too, but the pop rocks make it so fun to eat! Be careful though because the drink dyes your whole mouth and lips blue haha. read more

It does what it does very well. Ordering is easy through the app, which I prefer to do rather than trying to absorb the really crowded menu board in the drive-in stalls. It takes the stress out of being visually overloaded with choices! Once we place our app order, we check in to give them our stall number, which is clearly indicated (big number!) on the corner of the screen. Usually our food arrives within five minutes. I'd call that a win! Things we really like here: - Tater tots with American cheese melted on top (this is the only place I've found where I can get this easily, on the regular menu) - Foot long chili dog - Popcorn chicken (I tried this for the first time on our last visit, and I think this is going to be my normal entrée from now on) - Cherry limeade - delicious, with fruit in the bottom. We always get the largest size, with light ice, and take it home to finish later Everything is always clean and well-run. We really like this location. During the pandemic winter, it gives us a way to feel like we are eating out, without having to eat inside. Perfect! read more

Love the shakes and the choices of shakes! Can't say o have ever not liked my burgers. Problem is they are not good for you. Look at the nutritional info. They are extra bad but I do enjoy them when I'm in the mood. Mostly have to say I only get crazy shake cravings!!!!! Lucky there. Plus fries and tater tots are always hot! read more

We went to order in the drive in parking lanes but they told us to go order in the drive thru window. Maybe they didn't have any staff to take the food out to us but that was the point of going there so we can eat there in the car so I was bummed. Also the food was mediocre. I had the cheeseburger with fries. It was okay. Had better. And the area was very isolated and abandoned. I'll have to try another Sonic at another location. read more

I got a number 7 and a number 11. Chili dog was alright, tenders were alright, the tator tots? Alright. Pretty mid food but they're not known for their food. The shakes? Fire. I recommend a small Reese's blast, as the potion sizes are insane. The worker there is a young Latino kid who was handling the kitchen by himself and honestly is a pretty good employee, but the white people that were employees talking obnoxiously loud in the parking lot over some employee shitting in the bathroom and making a joke about who's cleaning it was disgusting. Do better. Also the onion rings were sweet? The batter was disgusting. Whole lotta mid food but aye, had to stop by somewhere am I right? read more

My cashier was Jovanni. I was sold a molded sandwich. I realized it was molded after I have eaten half of it. I thought it tasted bad, but I have not eaten all day l. I am highly upset and disappointed considering this sonic was my favorite location up until now. The sandwich is very molded green and I'm already throwing it all up read more

Watch out for fraud. Gave cashier my debit card, 1 week later the same transaction amount was made at this location. I was working when the transaction was made 6/16/22 @ 9:13am. I have an idea who it was I clearly remember the week prior my debit card was given back after receiving my item and receipt. Took her a while to give debit card back. If you must order I would recommend using the Sonic App. apple pay does not work at this location read more

About 3 days ago I went to this Sonic location around an hour before close, I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak, with onion rings, a sweet tea, and a Medium Sonic Blast. The total came out to $18.52, yet when I looked at my bank account yesterday, the transaction stated I spent $37.05, which is exactly double the amount I should have paid. I was in a rush coming from work so I did not notice this dispute, nor did I even receive a receipt with my food. The worker was a young hispanic male, with dangling earrings, who charged me for my order. I was the only car in the drive thru at the time, so how is it that he messed up that bad when there wasn't anything else distracting him from properly charging me the correct amount? And how many other customers has he done this too? read more

I don't usually feel that review updates are necessary, but my lunchtime trip to Sonic today prompted me to write. It was surprisingly good, and confusingly bad; I found myself being alternately elated and disappointed. Allow me to explain: -The girl taking my drive-thru order was nearly incomprehensible.....but she was very upbeat and friendly, and even asked how my day was going. -It took a while before I actually received my food, for which they apologized......but they combined my order into a super-combo that saved me $1.50. -They forget the BBQ sauce that I requested.....but gave me an extra jalapeno popper. -And lastly, I found a foot long black hair in my meal box (not touching any food but still, major grodiness).....as well as two coupons inside, good for a free medium-size limeade. All in all, a pretty weird lunch. I could have forgiven everything 'cept that bigass hair next to my food, but that cost Sonic a star and ONLY 1 star because unlike some people I'm not anal-retentive about shit like that. Still, I'm coming back to redeem those limeade coupons. read more

When we arrived it was jam packed. We pushed the red button and about 15 minutes later it was cancelled. We pushed the button again and this time about 3-5 minutes later someone came on the speaker to take our order. After yelling our order into the speaker numerous times, we got the order right. The french fries and ice cream was awesome (which is what the review rating is for). We got french fries, which were pretty much an empty container, Chocolate sundae and a cookie dough and reese cup SONIC Blast®. Ice cream was awesome and fries were good too. Service, I would have to agree that it is slow. My fiance had never done the drive in stall, so we decided to try it, I would recommend going in. The 20 minutes waiting for ice cream and fries was not worth saving the 20 extra steps to go inside. read more

I mean I guess I could give them four stars.. but really I just wouldn't be honest then. So I've come here a few times and the food is traditionally just fast food. I like the spicy chicken poppers and the cheesy tots are always tasty. But I just feel like its normal fast food.. Although this is only about 10 mins from me, I don't find my self going because its just average tasting. They do have a huge verity of food, but the workers get mad when they have to explain or help you with ordering. As for last night, their drive through sign was done... just not there at all! So when we tried to ordered it was very discouraging when they had an attitude like we were dumb and couldn't read a menu! Trust me, I think if it was there I could have managed to read it............. I've done the car hop part once in the summer and that was okay as well. It's like a bucket list thing.. Done it once and if I don't again I can live with that. I will say the staff always looks presentable and clean. Helpful Tips: - Try the fun drinks, you can mix them up too! - They always have specials going and you can text the number they have to get daily specials to your phone. - Try the car hop in summer at least once! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Waiting to order a shake :) - Burgers Near Me - Franklin Park, Illinois

My first Sonic Drive-In experience was in Mississippi before they moved to IL. At the time it was fascinating as I hadn't had the car hop experience before. Fast-forward a few years late... the novelty has worn off. I honestly would problem be here a LOT more then I do now if it wasn't for the fact that I stopped drinking pop/soda/juice a year ago as I LOVED the cranberry limeade and mixing other drinks with it...if you know what I mean. The food is good but now that I'm not getting my drink fix.....It's more out of the way for me to come here. but do enjoy them the most based on McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. read more

Slowest sonic I've ever been too not even that busy and wouldn't answer the buzzer awful experience

Ordered online pulled up checked in 30 minutes later food was still received. Went inside to ask what was going on food is still not ready. I wait look at my food and it is not done right just one burger! I guess they don't know how to make food. Never going back! read more

I was just overcharged at this place. When I told the overweight, dumb, rude, D student high school-manager named Jocelyn,she, after an exchange, told me to "shut the f*** up." That is this generation for you. I've complained about this place before. I'm writing to corporate and i am going to make sure this is a addressed. Edit: I just left a voicemail for j. Clifford Hudson, the CEO of Sonic Corp. I'm not letting this go. read more

I've attempted to go here multiple times and the food is amazing but it seems like the staff just isn't able to manage actually serving customers. I sat at a drive thru menu for 60 seconds without any acknowledgement. I've gone and sat at the drive in and waiting 5 mins to order only to be told to wait again after the employee started taking our order, at which point we said never mind and left. Honestly it's not worth the time and effort. read more

Word of advice: take care of customers who come IN to order....or is this customer service etiquette outdated? When I worked at Wendy's when I was 17 this is what I was taught. Took 10 minutes before we were served and had 3 people in front of us waiting too. They kept running outside to run orders, but couldn't even acknowledge us. HORRIBLE customer service. Very disappointing. read more

We went to sonic on Saturday and ordered 2 corn dogs, a hot dog, pretzel twist and a coke and tried to use a coupon we received at a Kane County Cougars baseball game. Coupon wasn't expired and coupon said valid at Franklin Park location. The person ringing us up said that the manager will not take the coupon. The manager on duty said she talked to the general manager came out and said we are not taking this coupon. I asked "why not? It saya valid at Franklin Park". Manager replied, we are not taking it. Sonic coupons were handed out at the Kane County Cougar's game the week before. I guess a corporation can send coupons to hand out at a sporting venue for advertising and not honor it at their discretion. This is either fraudulent promotion by Sonic Corporation and these coupons should not be handed out or there is a lack of communication with the store manager on duty and the general manager. We ended up paying for what we ordered. Very disappointed because of the principal of the whole situation. This coupon should have not been refused with no explanation. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Franklin Park, Illinois

I came here when this first opened years ago, ordered a cheeseburger and it was okay. Nothing special. But I also stop by for their cheesecake Oreo shake after 8pm for half price. Anyway years later I decided to try it again.. I actually enjoyed my food. Especially the well done, crispy fries! The double cheeseburger was so HUGE like bigger than my hand lol... sort of made it impossible to eat my burger without making a mess :( Service was great and quick, we got our food within 10 minutes. Not bad for a Friday night . read more

When I'm down I go there only for cherry lime and corn dogs..... and all will be good in life !!!

I never went there before. I want to go there so bad that I want those Red Bull slushes, Reese's overload ice cream, some burgers and fries just in case they have fries. I don't try them before but I think it's gonna be so good for me. read more

Negative stars if I can. Slow and speakers that don't work. Waited for 30 minutes plus and for melted and horrible service.

I've been to Sonic before out of state so I know how this place works. I went during the grand opening and it was nuts how busy it was. I wanted to just get drive through but the wait was so long, I opted to go to a stall for faster service. It's pretty cool in the stall, you can stay to eat in your car if you want to or just order your food and leave which is what I did to save time. In the stall, you have your own menu and once you're ready to order, you hit the red button and someone takes your order right away. You also have the convenience of paying by credit card right from the stall. A star alone for that. I'm a fan of their Limeaid as well as having breakfast anytime. The food itself is nothing special but, does the trick if you're craving junk food fast. Beware of people in cars not paying attention and flying out of the corner when you're backing out. Overall, this place is fine... but nothing spectacular. read more

Sonic might not the friendly blue hedgehog he used to be... this one time I ate here and I am pretty sure a hedgehog tried to leave my hind quarters within the hour. With that said they do have fantastic Cherry Limeade. The parking lot is simple enough and accessible. Ordering is nearly impossible unless you are in the drive through. Ironically hedgehogs commonly suffer from cardiovascular disease much like the humans who frequent the namesake restaurant. All in all, I don't really eat here often because it made me sick that one time... read more

Helping others do marketing research is awesome when its not at Sonic. Great service! No really it was great. They didn't even question two people eating five entrees and requesting triple packaging for a photo shoot. Iced latte's, more like ice with some coffee and cool-whip. So much crushed ice, the portion was minute. The tater tots were the best of the ten items we tried. Mostly because they were warm and crispy, they reminded me of moms Friday fish night where everything we ate was on a cookie sheet. Breakfast burrito, cold, with so many onions and one giant slice of jalapeno truly a clusterfuck if there ever was one. The Sonic burger. Hey I can make this, watch mom. Take one hour old shriveled up rubber burger, slather in a weeks worth of mayo, ketchup, pickles (all piled up in the same place), cold unmelted cheese. wrap nicely in wax paper and serve. Onion rings, warmish? very sweet, strange. Texas toast burger, better than the standard burger but that's because even a vegan on a vendetta couldn't ruin bacon. There was some mushroom swiss burger, but honestly I waved the white flag, pulled a Roberto Duran and said No Mas! Hot Dogs, they had sat in the staging lanes waiting for us to order them for a very long time, so long in fact each dog had a tan line along the bottom, and don't give me this shit about a char dog, this looked like that middle aged beach comber waitress you had down in Ft. Lauderdale back in the 80's,.........you know which one you sick bastard! It was very cheep though, which only made my stomach rumble more, god I hate fast food! read more

I ordered food for my family and they messed up my order. When I called them to let them know they forgot my order, the manager Joel had the worst attitude. Next time I'll get food from McDonald's read more

All I can say is WAIT. Got to the the slowest drive through ever. Period. Cooperate sonic needs to get out here and fix this place. Literally every time MINIMUM wait of 10-15 minutes. But tonight...tonight is a new record. We stayed (unlike about 30-40 cars that looked at the line and left) just to see how long it would take. We sat three cars behind the microphone for ten (10) minutes waiting for our turn to order. We then waited a full five (5) minutes AT THE MICROPHONE for our order to be taken. Then we waited another ten (10) minutes just to get to the window. So a total of 25 minutes. Wow. read more

It's the TIME!!!!! Every time we've come here it's taken longer and longer but it's the only one we can stop at usually going to or coming from the airport....coming home; no problem! I would never even think about trying on the way! PAY ATTENTION SONIC!!! You're getting a bad name from this one store!!! read more

Sonic. For the lazy in all of us. I saw a ton of complaints about the wait time. But given how busy they were tonight I thought they were pretty fast. No matter what sonic I've been to, the food is always consistent and filling. The waitstaff was very friendly at this location and because of that ... they will be seeing me again next time I'm out here ! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Franklin Park, Illinois

I've visited this location on different occasions and had mixed experiences. Sometimes the service is right on point and food arrives in a timely manner. Other times, not so much. One time I went during Happy Hour when it wasn't crowded and ordered a corn dog and a medium cherry limeade. It took 25 minutes for me to get my order. I didn't go to the drive thru I parked and placed my order. The only reason I stayed and waited was because I was in my car checking emails. I could have gone to a sit down restaurant for that type of wait. Maybe it would have been faster if I sent to the drive thru. Another time ordered (in the same manner) a small popcorn chicken and a cherry limeade and my order came out in less than 10 minutes. The food is always hot when you get and the people are usually pleasant. I may go back from time to time but keep in mind its a toss up as to whether you are going to have a long wait or not. read more
