    Oder kiosk.  Standard for this location.

    This is the worst run sonic on the planet. Terrible run. Very rude staff. They don't care at all. Wait in drive through for 5-7 minutes never even acknowledge you are there, Just ignore you. Then pull into an order at the car stalls... ordering signs don't not work either. We had been driving to another location last few trips because of this and came back tonight hoping better...Just as poorly run as always. I wish sonic would come in and take this location over. Will never be back. Hard to believe this place is still open.

    Here it is!

    Fast food in Houston, Texas... My friend, Lisa, had never been to a Sonic. One of her friends told her about it, so... We went! I drove up to one of the covered parking stalls, ordered through the speaker, and paid right there - from my car. There's no need to go into the restaurant! I believe that in the past, the orders were delivered to the cars by workers on roller skates. Today, a friendly gal brought our packaged meal to us. I got the #1 Combo. It included tater tots, a drink, and a cheeseburger. The burger had some lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and a mayo-based CRAVE sauce. I liked it! The tater tots had a nice crisp on the outside and was warm and moist on the inside! Thanks to Sonic for a fun foodie adventure!

    That's so, so Nic

    Not to be confused with So, Nic, which is what I said to Nicolas Cage when I met him and wanted to start interviewing him. This is the Sonic located on Washington in a fancy part of town, and it's usually really busy with a long line, especially right after SW which is Friday or Saturday night club time. Anyway it's definitely well worth you coming by and trying the fresh banana milkshake, but other than that I don't think they have too much good stuff. It's not a super Sonic, but it's pretty good.

The burger itself is cooked surprisingly well, though I would probably go with the classic brioche bun next time rather than their suggested sourdough (felt more like a toasted sandwich) bread. They also have a daily math problem that you can solve for some candy which is literally so Asian -_- brings me back to high school math class

To start off with a positive, I thought the falafel patty had a really great taste and was absolutely the highlight of the burger. But outside of that the burger and the toppings I ordered just didn't work as well as I would've liked. I ordered my burger with mushrooms and sauteed onions, both toppings I know I absolutely love from making burgers at home and from other spots, but neither added much. At first I was worried that the falafel was overpowering them both but upon eating them by themselves they just lacked taste. We also got the scallion aioli on the burger and I never got a hint of it at any point. All in all, the burger was very much mediocre outside of the patty. We also got fries with the burger and while they absolutely had some potential they were extremely over seasoned. Any appreciation for the seasonings in a vacuum was immediately overshadowed by how salty they were. We also ordered the Sambal Mayo as a dipping sauce and while it did help subdue the insane salt level and overall tasted quite good, upon writing this review I found out by looking at their online menu that it contained some amount of shrimp. This information is nowhere to be seen on the ordering slip and wasn't mentioned when I handed it over to the person working at the cash register. And while I definitely accept some level of responsibility for not doing my due diligence and asking or letting them know of my dietary restrictions, it's still an extremely frustrating thing to have happen as both a vegetarian and someone with a mild shellfish allergy. If for whatever reason the online menu is out of date or I missed an obvious indication of it containing shrimp somewhere I am more than happy to edit my review.

Not a single soggy fry on my plate. And the 7 oz. burger? Cooked to a perfect medium-rare, with all those delicious juices spilling out in every bite... DIVINITY. The location itself was super cute--very Southern charm tucked into the middle of such an urban city. Our waitress handled all seven of us like a pro, kept everything moving, and somehow found that perfect balance of being attentive without constantly hovering. P.S. half of my coworkers ordered their craft burgers and the other half went with their pizzas--pretty solid choice. Crust was sourdough and the toppings were varied. The tops were DUCK AND BALSAMIC, SAUSAGE AND BURRATA, PEAR AND BLEU

First, the parking lot entrance is blink and you'll miss it, tucked narrowly between the carwash and the cafe on Washington, but parking is surprisingly ample. The husband and wife owners are lovely people. The inside is very comfortable with a very old world cafe ambiance. The burger and fries are clearly made to order and incredibly well made. The burger was nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, the burger sauce was really nice without being cloying or overpowering, and the bun was nice and soft. The fries were those nice, thick, crispy on the outside soft on the inside diner style seasoned fries. The pastry offerings, which I was told the wife bakes herself, look excellent as well, as do all of the coffee drinks. I'm very excited to come back and try their cafe offerings.
