Sonic is America's Drive-In. There are other drive-ins in Lovington, NM. But this one did me good on 5/20/2024. A medium cranberry limeade ($1.61) came out in less than 3 minutes after pressing send on my app (hence the discount). A friendly young lady delivered it. My thirst was quenched for the 20-minute drive home. The worst part was all of the nearby road construction. In the time that road construction begins anywhere in New Mexico, The Black Death (a bubonic plague pandemic that occurred in Europe from 1346 to 1353) would have came and went. Okay, I'm exaggerating, but the roads are terrible here and it often takes years for a project. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Medium Cranberry Limeade $1.61 (5/20/2024) - Burgers Near Me - Lovington, New Mexico

Quick & friendly service, great location , & decent prices. Open later than most places in the 4th of July.

This review is specific to this location. I love Sonic and unfortunately this one can't quite seem to run a smooth and successful operation. Since this is franchise owned it's difficult to ensure it's up to corporate standards which it isn't. If you want to use the app to order ahead, good luck. 99% of the time it doesn't work and if you do use it, it doesn't save you any time. I've been in town for a week visiting my parents and have been here at least 5 times since and each time it gets worse. As I type this I have been waiting for a Limeade drink I was able to order ahead on the app for once and I've been sitting in my car for 23 minutes since (no joke or exaggeration) waiting for them to bring it out. I'm about ready to leave without it and so is every other car around me. Management needs to step in and get this location up to corporate franchise standards in order for it to be successful. It's a shame my favorite place in the world to get a good drink is so poorly managed giving such a bad experience to so many. Hopefully management does read this and take action. Not just me who thinks like this... look at the rest of their reviews. Won't be back. read more

Sometimes it's great and other times it's terrible. Can't really predict the service or food quality at this Sonic.

I had to give a star but if I could've chose 0 I would. Worst, rudest, slowest, most hateful Sonic I've ever been to. The girl taking our order wouldn't let my husband tell her what he wanted because she kept talking over him. Then kept rushing him to hurry up. When asked to repeat our order, she made it clear she was annoyed by making us wait a minute before she would speak to us. I guess she was having a fit. Who knows. Worst worst place. Terrible. Never and just don't. No. How can places this bad be allowed to stay open. People this rude keep a job. SMH read more

See all

Usually pretty good except the wait times and one day last week we got recycled hamburgers where stuff was scrapped off and then given to us. read more

This Sonic if I had a negative Stars I'll would give that to them My mom when she want a strawberry banana shake from this Sonic they don't have the strawberries and they can't make the small order of jumbo popcorn chicken they only make the mid or large but on their menu it shows all tree sizes do may not be as smart as them but just saying if the medium had let's just say 8 nuggets so just put 4 on to fry or heat up I f Fd don't think that is hard to f de o so me time your at Lovington Sonic might want to ask if they make what they have on the menus or they pick and chose read more

I really don't even want to give it 1 star but the reason why is because we waited 45 minutes just for our food to be delivered to our car and only to discover not even half of it was there. My advice don't go to this sonic go to a different one. read more

Horrible service! They first brought out the wrong order. We waited a total of 45 minutes and they brought out an incomplete order and no drinks. We paid $45 for crappy service even after talking to the manager. We left because it wasn't worth waiting around for something that would probably be wrong again! I will be calling the owners of this Sonic to report this situation!! read more

The only reason I gave a 1 is because zero isn't an option. Waited forever for someone to take our order, then it took longer for the girl to take a simple order than it did to come out. 2 wacky packs for kids....wrong....both burgers meals were wrong. The only thing that did come out correctly were our drinks. Needs better management or to shut down. read more

Sonic Drive-In is a maybe for me. I've had great food many times but i've also had bad encounters as well. Today my mother and i were craving some cinnasnacks so we stopped by after school. Our order didn't contain many items but it did take about 20 minutes. Sonic is known for taking a long time but it usually pays off. Well unfortunately not today! We ordered a 5 piece cinnasnack. We got our bag and headed home. Once we got home I opened the bag and to my surprise there is no crème icing! We were already upset because there was no icing but we continued to just eat the cinnasnacks anyways. I take a bite and I am completely shocked. My cinnasnack is completely empty! I don't want to be over dramatic but to be fair the ocean water i order was absolutely scrumpdillyisous! read more

The Ice cream machine NEVER works and when it does the ice cream is runny. This Sonic is trash. Never again. Whoever runs this place obviously doesn't care about its customers. The lady taking my order was also rude when taking my order. Great place you got there. Screw this place. Quit going here lovington. read more

Ummmm, where do I start? The ordering --- the speakers almost always work but there seems to a problem with Employees being able to take an order properly I'm not sure if they can't hear us because of other vehicles NOT turning their engines off OR they just need to update the system. The food well it's fried food & that's why you went there.... But please don't get me started on the credit card machines. PLEASE for the love of Pete UPDATE. I think that the kids that work there work relatively hard & most are doing this after school so please give them a tip! **** update 6-12-18 Since updates have been done with new computerized ordering boards - paying has never been easier! Still good service. Our Lovington kids do a great job working here! read more

Word sonic ever! They always take forever, never get an order right, none of the card machines work, the speakers hardly ever work, the employees are rude and the owner just doesn't care! I can't tell you how many times I've gone just to get ice cream and they are "cleaning the ice cream machine" or "it's broken". One time I ordered a real lime slush. The carhop brought me a pineapple strawberry slush so I sent it back she brought back out a strawberry like slush, so I pushed the bottom again and said that it still wasn't right and the woman said "it's real fruit isn't it?" I said yes but I wanted just a real lime slush. The carhop brought out my slush and just handed it to me didn't apologize or anything and the slush was definitely not REAL lime! I think this place could be saved with new owners! read more

Ran by sonic to get a glass of tea before I hit the road they couldn't even get a glass of tea right I finally handed it back to the girl and a left even though I paid for it I didn't have time to fool with her any longer I hope somebody reads this and can get some kind of quality control at sonic read more

I went there ordered a number 4 with large fries and a large drink and a number 11 with fries and a large drink when they came to give us the food we had medium everything also we ordered a medium strawberry milkshake and got a medium cup full of vanilla ice cream. read more

Literally the worst Sonic I've ever been to. Needs new ownership. I don't think it is 100% the employees fault, I think they're trained to suck and be rude. The owner allows it. I've heard stories of employees tainting meals, though, I haven't witnessed it. I hope not, at least. read more

This is my favorite sonic. The kids there work very hard. This sonic has improved a lot. The kids working there could probably hear you better if people would turn off their cars while ordering. The sonic is very clean and has great service. read more

I ordered a large lemon slush and was charged $.40 extra for the flavor. When I pointed out that I was being overcharged as the menu states that 1 flavor is included; I was informed that the manager remembers me from a previous visit and would not be changing the price. I guess I am only allowed to complain once. read more

Worst Sonic ever. I've been to multiple Sonic establishments from coast to coast and this one is by far the worst ever. They never open on time, 90 % of their stalls don't work when trying to pay for your food, the staff need some education on customer service and I'd have to agree the management is rude. Pathetic. read more

Literally have never been to such a crappy place. The whole time we were ordering the lady on the speaker was rude, but I can't remember what she said her name was, and you can tell she didn't want to be there. Let's not forget it take like half an hour for an order. Once we got our ice cream they weren't blended all the Oreo was at the bottom with a bunch of ice cream on top, same for my custard all the Reese's at the bottom ice cream on top, no banana. don't think I'll ever spend my money there again. At least not during the night read more

Stopped at sonic and got 2 drinks and took 20 minutes to get. Only 3 other cars besides mine. This order should not have taken as long as it did. The carhops do not smile. They do not have customer service they act as if they are put out by taking and bringing our order to us. When the Chrismans owned and operated this sonic they would have not put with the rude attitudes or the lack of professionalism. I had to give one star, they are not qualified for that star! read more
