    Honey BBQ popcorn chicken

    Even though the roller skates don't make a debut here, I appreciate the solid customer service through the drive-in spots where it's easy to order through the touch screen. Not a single salad in sight and somehow that's alright... Breakfast all day long and different options of toasted breaded sandwiches seem to take over the menu with plenty of sauced and breaded duos ready for the "tots or fries" question. I personally like the Chicago dog here as it's served on a steamed poppy seed roll which is just to my liking. Who doesn't like mozzarella sticks ?! The good thing is they never forget to add the marinara sauce so you never leave resentfully unsatisfied. If you're in the mood for dessert, then order your meal through the screen first and then place your sweets order afterwards so I thing melts and you don't feel rushed. I remember the days when I used to drive up north to Broward for Sonic but having this ample location on the western típ of Hialeah surely makes my trips to the 33018 worthwhile.

    The positive, the workers were pleasant and cheerful. The negative was the lack of choices, because they were out of menu items, and of course those were the things I wanted. You pull up and see a large banner advertising their Totchos. You guessed it, not available. No Iced Tea either. So I settled for a corn dog and chili cheese tots. The tots were so salty. What happened? Almost inedible. Maybe the issues were Covid related, so I won't give two stars.

    Employee chatting with a friend to not allow us to go up to the window

    Service was horrid. Coming through the drive thru for a late night munch (10:38) with a few friends I informed "Guido" the man working there at the time that there were multiple separate orders, to which he responded "No". I then drive up to the window to see another employee dilidallying in the drive thru window. They then proceeded to refuse to give us service and then cuss me out on the mic. Unacceptable behavior from a fast food chain.

    I grew up around Sonic my whole life so I was excited to see one right where I work. It hasn't been open very long so probably I will be back but I went once to get a slush and a corn dog to relive childhood memories. The slush was ok but had too much syrup in it and the corn dog batter was not cooked all the way thru, that being said I went last Saturday for lunch which it was out of the way for me since I was not working in the area that day. I pre-ordered on the Sonic app so all I would have to do is pick it up when I got there. The app told me to go inside and tell the crew member my name for pickup. I did so and waited for about 10 minutes before asking to cancel my order. The manager came over to why I canceled my order, I let him know what happened and that I had to leave to back to work. Apparently the order was never sent to the Sonic and so was never prepared also the person at the register never even checked to see if it was in the system even though I payed for it already thru the app. The manager explained that he doesn't know anything about the app and that the app might not send the order into the restaurant. He returned my money using cash because he didn't know how to return the money back on my card thru the app. I might go back again when I am in the area but I will be hesitant.

    They even skate your dinner when you sit on the indoor area! That being said, the latest entrance to Hialeah Gardens' restaurant row needs a little bit of work. I heard about this chaim thru their folksy commercials and even ate at one in central Florida a few years back (might even be a review for it) so I was glad when they came to my neck of the woods. Seeing as though there was a bit of a line at the drive thru , I noticed there's also an inside dining space. The cashier was pleasant enough, but the dining room decor needs somework. There's an irregular scattering of tables, plus a huge empty space in the center of the dining room. Vibe, at least indoors, is your basic fast food restaurant. As far as food, I ordered their double cheeseburger and though sizeable and fairly juicy, nothing really jumped out as an essential burger joint. At least they got my buegger right with no mayo. My main "beef" with them is their fries. As you can see in the photo, the regular fries are really small. I'm talking about smaller than my hand small. The fries could have been crisper as well. The saving grace was the waffle Sunday I got for dessert. It had a nice spread of thin toasted waffles and actual strawberries. Maybe I'll just stop by for dessert..

    fries

    this is the second time we go to sonic's and order large fries and they are not even filled! charge more for large and they give me a regular size. so annoying

    My first time visiting and I waited 30 minutes in the drive thru to be told "sorry we're closed at this time". I will never come back!

Rocket Fizz was founded Ryan Morgan and Rob Powells who started their business by selling fake dog poo and other novelties. There are also stores in Wesley Chapel and Clearwater along with 90 other Rocket Fizz stores. This store is their first in South Florida and it recently opened in The Falls in Miami near Macy's. Rocket Fizz is famous for the 500 kinds of soda which include traditional flavors like root beer, birch beer, and cream soda, along with more out there flavors like s'mores, enchilada, mustard, coffee, bacon with chocolate, fungal fruit, dinosaur dung, ranch, buffalo wing, and many more. The birthday cake soda would make the perfect gift for anyone celebrating their special day. This would be five stars for the soda selection alone but that is not all they sell. They are also the purveyor of every kind of candy imaginable. Nostalgic favorites are on the shelf along with the latest and greatest. In addition to the candy they also sell novelty items and signs. This store is so fun. You can give a gift that brings back a childhood memory or give something they have never seen before. The only downside is the merch is pricey. A few treats can add up fast. Still I'm glad that Rocket Fizz has finally made its way to South Florida for that one of a kind treat.

The decor is awesome for all my rock lovers. Parents - there's arcade games for the kids for $1/play cash or card For being a chicken joint the menu still has a great variety. Marvin is the man & helped us figure out the best food to try for our first time. Matt the second time was also extremely helpful and jumped to assist everyone who came in. They have touch screens you order from but I prefer speaking to a human - which all the guys are quick to help you out if you are trying to rage against the hospitality service machine. I went for the chicken and waffles & I've never been so sure of my life decisions. Holy sweet proof that God loves us on a tray. It also reheated well in the air fryer bc I could not finish it in one sitting (I mean...I could I would just be in physical pain for stuffing myself beyond what my stomach can tolerate) My man got whatever Marvin recommended which was a huge bowl of rice fresh veg and chicken which was also delicious and lasted for another meal. I don't have pictures bc we didn't bring our phones on our walk so you're going to just have to come and get a bowl for yourself to see it. The second time I brought my son and I made sure to bring my phone to take pictures. The Mac and cheese is also delicious. Has a bit of a kick but not hot. While the name alludes to spicy chicken you can get "country" style which has no heat. So again for a place with just chicken, Louie's has a lot to offer. They also drop the chicken fresh which I love. Bottom line- The food is delicious. The staff are awesome. The music and games are entertaining. Highly recommend!

One of the best things about this place is that you can choose your spice level--from "country" (no heat) to "Bat Outta Hell" for those who like it seriously hot. It makes it easy whether you're sensitive to spice or want a challenge. The atmosphere stands out right away--very rock 'n' roll inspired with drum-style lighting fixtures, band stickers throughout, and Band music playing in the background. It gives the restaurant a fun, laid-back vibe. They offer all the classics, including chicken and waffles, which looked great. I decided to go a bit lighter and ordered the Blazing Chicken Bowl with romaine instead of rice. It was fresh, flavorful, and still had a nice kick without feeling too heavy. Every meal came with an extra sauce, if needed for more flavor. Location is super convenient--right off the turnpike off Atlantic Ave, so it's easy to get in and out. Overall, a great addition to the area. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items (and maybe bumping up the spice level next time!).
