I give sonic a shot every 3-6 months, hoping that they will get better. They never do. They are super slow, always have a traffic of uniformed people going inside, and uniformed people coming out on a smoke break or a break to talk to someone in their car. The service here has significantly declined to the point that I have no idea how they are still open for business. read more

Slowest service I have ever had anywhere. I have been in line a half an hour and only sheer stubbornness has kept me here. Horrible place.

Everything! The food sucks. People could care less if you eat there. Will not be going back. Sonic is off of my list for places to eat.

Food is decent for the most part but god damn the place is run down. Half the kiosks were torn outlander half the ones they kept don't work and the employees will block some of the working ones with their own cars. BTW the "Groovy fries" are kinda trash. Never hot, sometimes barely warm which is par for the course when it comes to sonic fries but the old ones were better. I like crinkle cut fries but not "seasoned" crinkle cut fries. Pre-seasoned fries anywhere are trash. read more

it was sooo bad we had to wait there forever and if I could give it -8 stars, it would be because it took them like over an hour

We have lived here nearly 2 years. We have gotten numerous orders that were not correct. Little things like wrong toppings on burger or hot dog. Stopped by one weekday morning at 10 minutes til 8:00 and they were not open. When sonic was advertising the .99 shakes their machine was down. The final straw was that I placed an order through the app, and when I went to pick it up, I was told they were out of hamburger patties until Friday!!!! And to get a refund for them I would have to go through the app. Then he seemed shocked that I didn't want the tots or shakes I ordered to go with the hamburgers. Also, it will take 7-10 business days for me to get credited on my credit card. Unbelievable. read more

first off they are very slow. And second off they say they don't have one food item one day but then have it the next. as well they don't have ice half the time read more

So, I've been to this Sonic many, many times. I grew up with this restaurant, I've never had any issues until now. The day started off fine except for the extremely slow service. Usually when I order, the food is here within just a few minutes. But this time, I waited twenty minutes for my food to arrive and it was screwed up. My stomach felt like it was in a "Kid's Meal Mood". So, I ordered a kid's meal, when I got it, I was shocked. When I got my meal, the chicken tenders were way too crispy. My white milk was already opened and it was old and disgusting. Although, the applesauce was the best applesauce that I've ever had in my life. Later, I ordered a milkshake and payed, I then waited for twenty minutes and still never got it. So, I just decided to leave and go to the as of this time "New" location in the neighboring town of Charleston. Lastly, the kid's meal toy was the best ever. It was a corgi squishy, my neighbor's corgi had just died, I loved her so much. This was a perfect coping method! To sum it all up, I DO NOT recommend this Sonic location. read more

Terrible service and clueless workers. It took 15 min for two ice creams and they didn't even know what they made and threw the toppings on top without mixing it together. Never going back. read more

Sorry- I gave it one star but I really meant to leave it 0 stars! The food was terrible. The tots were obviously cooked a day ago. The drink was awful - watery lemonade and the cup so full of ice that there really wasn't much lemonade?! Grilled cheese was a smashed one and hot dog was so- so. Sorry! WON'T BE BACK! And won't recommend! Mattoon,IL read more

One star is being nice. Stopped here on a road trip... and it was a little out of the way, but that was alright. It was alright... until spending over 20 minutes waiting in line for a simple slushee and mozzarella sticks. While spending this time with nothing else to do, I noticed the outside areas were dirty and full of trash. Issues with the drive up speaker... and while it was only $1.00, I was not given back the correct change. Final blow for this location... specifically asked for ranch and was given two sides of marinara, but no ranch. read more

I got a sonic blast from the mattoon il sonic and it looked like milk not ice cream. when my best friend got the same one and hers was ice cream. read more

Slowest service ever and my order is consistently wrong. Seriously took them over thirty minutes just to bring me my food. Unbelievable

If you enjoy paying $10 for a mediocre burger, cold soggy fries, and a watered down drink then this is the place for you. Not to mention I waited over half an hour for my food. Overall a terrible experience. read more

If you're want an authentic Chili dog or a fruit smoothie, this is your place. They have drinks half-price between 2pm-4pm and that's when I usually visit. The chili cheese covered tater tots are a great snack here as well. read more

Waited over 15 minutes for 3 sandwiches, one tot and 2 drinks. Got nothing. It was apparently shift change, but no one seemed anxious to get food out to us, so we went elsewhere. read more

Cheeseburgers are usually pretty good, but last time the burger was super tough and overcooked. And every time I order a cherry lime slush, it's never the same. Sometimes it cherry slush with a lime wedge, sometimes it's a red tinted lime slush (gross). read more

While staying in the area for the boys track and field state finals, we stopped at Sonic for dinner. Needless to say the food was disgusting. My BLT was so greasy and there was only a few shreds of lettuce. I sent it back and they did apologize and gave me another. It was slightly better, but not great. My sons popcorn chicken was ok. Don't think I would take the time to stop at this sonic again if ever in the area! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Mattoon, Illinois

Hard to get fries or tots that aren't cold. For the price of this place I expect better. Allowing your employees to smoke alongside the building reminds of the disgusting employees at the Hardees just down the road from you. read more

If you havent been to Sonic, I don't know why you are waiting. Great drinks, especially the cherry limeade. Tots with cheese and yummy dogs. Ice cream is also yummy soft serve. read more

This establishment is a joke. You would assume waiting in the window forever that you would get warm food but no, my fries were old and nasty and my wings looked like someone already chewed them up and spit them out. read more
