    Sonic Drive-in Spots
    Michael S.

    Prepare yourself for a Sonic boom of crap ... like a #2 Double Cheeseburger with Mustard ... appropriately labeled a deuce for being a turd of a burger. Honestly, it was kind of fun (and convenient since most regular Leavenworth restaurants were already closed) to pull into a Sonic parking spot at night and have genuinely friendly service bringing fast food straight to our car window ... until I discovered it was just really really crappy fast food. So, it's no surprise that this Sonic Drive-in rates as 2 stars for a #2 burger that tasted like number 2.

    I ordered a sausage and egg breakfast burrito today and it only had two, maybe three, really small pieces of sausage in it. Considering how much they cost this is ridiculous. The orange juice also taste really watered down.

    Your standard Sonic, decent burgers with friendly service. If you're looking for a burger, tots, or a shake it's worth stopping here.

    Kathleen was by far the nicest person I've ever dealt with in a drive through.

One of our classmates had been there before and recommended the restaurant based on the food, so we were looking forward to spending our last evening together there. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. We arrived around 4 p.m., but most of us did not receive our food until approximately 5 p.m. Even worse, three people in our party did not receive their meals until around 5:30-5:45 p.m. By that point, they simply had their food packaged to go. The service throughout our visit was lacking. Our servers rarely checked on the table, offered beverage refills, or provided any explanation for the significant delays coming from the kitchen. A little communication and attentiveness would have gone a long way. I initially planned to order a main course but couldn't decide what I wanted, so I kept the menu and ordered appetizers while I decided. Unfortunately, our server never returned to ask whether I was ready to order my entrée. Given how long everything else was taking, I eventually took that as a sign that I didn't need to order anything further. What was most disappointing was the apparent lack of management. I don't know what was happening in the kitchen or who was responsible for overseeing the dining room, but neither appeared to be effectively managed during our visit. No one came by to acknowledge the delays, explain what was happening, or check on our group. To make matters worse, the dining room was extremely warm and the air conditioning seemed to be barely working. Even members of the waitstaff serving other tables could be seen fanning themselves across the room. I understand that restaurants can have bad days, staffing issues, or unexpected problems in the kitchen. However, when delays are this significant, communication and attentive service become even more important. This was supposed to be an enjoyable final gathering with my classmates. Unfortunately, the combination of extremely slow food service, lack of communication, inattentive service, and an uncomfortable dining room made the experience memorable for all the wrong reasons. It was my first visit to The Suburban, and unfortunately, it will be my last.

I'm not sure why everything was so bad. All the dishes were very bland and flavorless. I don't know how they've been open so long with such bad food. Maybe it was an off day in the kitchen. The owner and staff were genuinely nice people. They were so kind and warm. The place was spotless. I hate to give these nice people a bad review but their terrible food earned it. If you're looking for something amazing like the NuWay in Wichita, this is NOT it.

They also have very big burgers and package everything separately for take out so that your vegetables do not get soggy. Although it still has a good old town, homestyle feel, it's very inviting and welcoming to young people as well. My husband and I went on a Sunday morning and the service was quick. It was very obvious that everyone from the owner to the cooks take pride in the food that they serve here and make sure that you leave happy and full. We got takeout burgers on Monday night. The wait wasn't too bad. The burgers are very big and the veggies were fresh. The onion rings and fries were average. I would rate this place second only to The Depot for breakfast in Leavenworth.
