This is our go-to Sonic in the area. We often use the Sonic app to order and pick up our food, but this past weekend, we just went through drive-thru. Service was fast and friendly that day and let us know they were just waiting on our wraps. We got a cherry limeade, strawberry limeade, and bbq wraps to go. Their hours are sometimes confusing for late night runs, but we still have good service nonetheless. read more

Really bad service, weird that they don't take tap too. Trash food. Avoid this location.

12:25 and they immediately say that they are closed. Change your hours if your crew doesn't want to stay & work until 1 AM.

I swear, how long does it take for employees to respond to a car? These kids that work there are absolutely oblivious to the world! Gen Z and above are absolutely mindless . Smh. The food is absolutely disgusting. The cheapest ingredients possible . No wonder why the ratings are very low. . read more

Horrendous experience tonight. Sonic is always hit or miss, but this location is a consistent miss with tonight being the most annoying. Mobile ordered a Sonic burger combo, chicken bites, and an extra drink at 7:48 PM. Not really dinner time anymore, not peak Sonic hour. Essentially, they were not slammed. Pull up, park in stall, check in for mobile order, and start the wait. The 34 minute wait, for fast food that I ordered ahead of time. When the food finally comes out, the employee literally goes "Wow no one brought your order out yet! Here you go". We ask, is it all cold now? They respond "Nah it's been sitting under a lamp for awhile." And they walk away. Drive the 2.5 minutes home, open bag to find sad cold soggy fries, room temp chicken and barely room temp burger. Missing sauces, and burger was made with mayo when specifically requested without. Drinks watered down and missing added flavors. Thanks guys! read more

Worst location ever! They scam me 24/7 every time I buy 10 sauce for an extremely high price added onto my already high total. They never give you the sauce so when you get home with 20$ worth of dry food with no sauce? How can you forget all 10 sauce every time I go there for the last month ? Who runs this location and why are they stealing my sauce? The service was slow and it's so dirty here. I'm reporting your location for being a health hazard. read more

Stores been closing early every night usually an hour before it says in Apple, google and yelp, i just want a sonic blast!!!

Happy hour on drinks until 10am, so a large cold brew coffee is available at a great price. The pretzels are also a good hot snack, but the cheese sauce has too many artificial Ingredients. read more

This store is the best. Megan and her crew are second to none. The food is always fresh and delicious. The drinks are always cold and perfect. read more

I had to practically shout for Jenny to hear me and when she did she got my order all wrong and I had to keep repeating. Very poor customer service. I could see that another employee was constantly playing with her hair while handling food. Gross. However, kudos to the young black carhop girl she was super nice! She had braids with green woven into it. read more

This specific Sonic is my go-to when I don't want to cook or wash dishes. They're always super friendly, and normally pretty fast. As someone that worked at a fast paced place for 3.5 years, I ask anyone leaving a bitter review, or being rude to these workers, to realize that they are as human as you. They are high school/college workers trying to get by. Not to get all cheesy and personal, but it costs nothing to be nice, slow down and have patience. Some of these reviews sound so entitled and nit-picky. read more

"Try the pretzel" they said. "It is great" they said. After waiting in a drive through line longer than we expected, I was finally served this... read more

Sonic Drive-In - Over cooked, smashed pretzel - Burgers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

When it's so hot you can fry an egg on your car, Sonic is on your way home, and it's happy hour (Half price drinks 2-4), how can you resist? I also had a voucher for a free medium drink and I ordered using the drive through. Wait time wasn't too bad, only a few minutes. I didn't get a receipt but the order was fairly simple so I guess I don't mind too much. read more

Love the drink selection and they have BIG RED! Also, chili cheese tater tots with extra jalapeños and onions with mustard...

Ok, first a confession. Last week we did a day trip to Sedona. On the way up and then again on the way back to the Valley (Mesa) we stopped at a Sonic. Our confession is that those visits were our first to a Sonic. The food was great, great value and super friendly. We actually had the conversation as to why we had never tried Sonic before. We were fans, downloaded their app, opened account and all. Fast forward a week and we went to this Sonic on Val Vista. Screen on menu was out, second screen the card reader was not working. The food was NOT GOOD. The ice cream mixers in "the blasts " were almost non existent. Wow , you would never know these two restaurants were from the same chain. We Will never return to this location and honestly may never visit another Sonic. read more

We came 5 minutes before closing. (We thought they closed at 1 am but act close at 12) They made ALL of our food. Didn't mess up on anything, and everything was fresh! they were VERY nice. Don't know why this sonic has 1.5 stars. will come again! read more

Rude staff. App doesn't work most of time. Food was cold when brought out. Been here a couple times and food Ave at best. Tips are expected or so it seems....not earned. Worth the drive in going to another location read more

Yuck. Why is it so hard to get an order right? No ketchup, no tomato, no pickles, extra lettuce. I guess I am needy!! . Instead I got; ketchup, heavy onion, white gross lettuce. Where has all the good lettuce gone?!? read more

Burger was not edible. I know it's Sonic but I usually enjoy their burgers. Bun was stale and something was just off. Chicken Dinner box was okay. The strips were small and not the same that I'm used to with Sonic. Mozzarella sticks, tots, popcorn chicken were good! The young man who brought our food seemed discouraged. Hope he's alright. Won't come back to this location read more

Absolutely the WORST! Out burgers look like they have been sitting out ALL day, the fries were ice cold, the chicken tenders looked like they have been deep fried 10 times Were as flat as the cheeseburger patties. The services was HORRIBLE, the order wasn't correct. I tried to call the Val Vista and Southern location where I ordered the food and the Ly do not answer the phone! I will call again tomorrow though. I do NOT recommend this location and we will never return here. Absolutely disgusting! read more

Night Manager sucks ass had a bad attitude when I tried to place my order and was very short with me just an over all nasty attitude. If you don't like your job then change it. read more

I go to this Sonic all the time - usually have good experience! Today several problems happened. Tried calling twice before hand to get order in- no one answered the phone at all, let ring quite awhile both times. Decided must be busy so drove there. When I went thru Drive-thru, the speaker was all covered with cardboard and tape, no sign as to its use, didn't hear anyone trying to take order, so stayed behind two cars in front of me and thought maybe we had to give order at window due to speaker "out of use". Get to window and associate very rude to me when I started to give my order with no explanation of speaker, sorry for your inconvenience, nothing, nada. I informed him that I had tried calling earlier, but asked him why no one is answering phone - no reply, just pure rudeness. He takes my order, I'm paying cash and I ask for receipt and he tells me to pull in to spot across way. Proceeds to assist next 3 cars with orders, so I get out to stand by my car wondering why it's taking so long. Associate comes out slowly meandering his fat ass up to my car, still no receipt, no ketchup! Hands me food and turns around to walk back in! Terrible customer service!!! This event ocurred Tues, 11Apr 2023 approx 5:15 pm. read more

Ok, this is one of the reasons fast food employees don't deserve to make $15. Hubby went to Sonic for 2 pretzels and a blast. He ordered a pretzel with salt and the cinnamon one. Wait for it...... they put in the bag 2 cheese sauces and no icing. Maybe I'm just weird, but cinnamon and cheese sauce sounds terrible. On a personal level, of I say no cheese on any food that comes with it. This normally wouldn't bother me, but when it happens more often than it doesn't, there is an issue. I doubt that the franchise owners dont care, they just want their money. Just once I would like a franchise owner to care enough to read their store reviews and do something about it. After all, I am the one paying for the food. read more

Horrible service. They messed up our order, which happens and wasn't a big deal. BUT, what put us over the top upset is when we just ordered over $48 worth of food and they wanted to us to PAY .40 per small glass of water. Our last Sonic time for a meal, which is sad since we like their food. WHO PAYS FOR WATER when they are getting food???? read more

Cold burgers AGAIN. $21 wasted. We will not go back to the Sonic on ValVista that is within a half mile of our house. You have one job Sonic.. Hot quality food at a decent price. In & Out burgers is only a few miles away. They consistently earn our business. Epic FAIL! read more

I ordered a drink on the app, took 5 minutes to get there and then waited another 5 minutes. Won't be back. Waste of time.

Horrible experience every single time. I know it's just fast food but a "Hi, how are you?" or "bye, have a good one" are can go a long way. I felt very unsatisfied with my service tonight. Please Please encourage your employees to do better. read more

Will never come here again. Someone through the speaker said N the word with the hard R when they started to take my order. I was a little confused and thought I misheard but they kept on repeating it not knowing that I could hear. Absolutely disgusting behavior. If I could give this place a 0 I would. The food was absolutely horrendous, not hot at all, they took over 10 minutes for an order of cheese sticks! Do not give this location your money. PERIODT read more

This staff is 100% incompetent. They can't even get a order of mozzarella sticks right. Do not leave this location without checking every single item you ordered. They forget without fail all of your sauces, at least one item from your order. I honestly believe that the entire staff should be fired from sonic completely and just reset the location. It sounds cruel but not a single order in 6 months has been correct. read more

How can you not put meat in a burrito when u ordered the ultimate breakfast burrito asked for sausage got all tater tots Please get it together i do like sonic but after today you have left a bad taste in mouth read more

Kathy is AWESOME!!!!! Funny, hardworking, and a great woman! She's been at this store for many years. They are lucky to have her as an employee! My favorites are their strawberry slush and cherry limeades. read more

Stopped by late after the local dirt race. Double bacon cheeseburger was pretty good in my opinion, as were their French fries. My girlfriend tried the poppers and the chicken slinger, says they're good. Under $20! Winner! read more

It took "forever" for someone to answer the speaker. There were no other cars except mine. When I was finally able to place my order (a large coke) it then took a knot her round of "forever" for someone to come from the back to put my drink in a cup and take my $1.08 so I could get to work. Luckily I wasn't in a hurry. Then I got my Coke and it tasted awful, like the lines hadn't been cleaned in years! Off to McDonalds I went for a real a coke and better service! read more

We are regular customers at the Sonic location at 1260 S Val Vista Drive in Mesa AZ. I was baffled that when I asked for a cup of water, I was asked what size and told the different prices for the different sizes of cups for WATER! I told them a courtesy cup size would be fine. That's when I was told that is not offered. I drove up to the window and asked to speak to the manager. I asked her how they can charge for WATER in Arizona and she told me her boss said they have to charge and if someone complains tell them they can use the hose! I've never heard such a thing and am shocked and infuriated that this is their policy! read more

Horrible service! I was just there, I placed an order and waited patiently for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes their screen told me my order was coming, then disappeared off the screen but my order never came. I then pushed the red button so I could talk yo the cashier. The older lady on the other end with a ton of attitude told me they couldn't find my order. She had me repeat my order over and over making it seem like it was my fault and like I was inconveniencing them by being there. Finally I got really frustrated and raised my voice telling her that my card had been charged so they brought me 3 wrong drinks, completely different from the ones I had ordered. I was so angry that I just left. Worst service I have ever gotten at a Sonics. I live right next door but I will never go back again. That old lady was a jerk and had absolutely no customer service. Just rude read more

Customers and neighbors can hear your expletives blasting through the drive-thru speakers. If you're taking my order, don't continue having separate conversations and ask me to repeat things 4 times. I ended up leaving after a good 10 minutes waiting for my order, with no end in sight and a line starting to wrap around the building. Won't come back. read more

We were going in a Sonic run. My daughter ordered a slush- it came out with syrup over ice. We reminded them it was to be a slush. The answer-our machine isn't working to make slushes. Gosh could have told us when we ordered it! My drink was all ice very little limeade! read more

This is my first and last time coming to this location. I came for a drink and a corn dog. It took them over 15 minutes to bring my order. An older woman brought out my order. She seemed irritated before I even rolled my window down. I asked for ketchup and mustard. She told me all I'm going to get is ketchup because they just had corn dog day and they are all out of mustard. She handed me two packets of ketchup and asked if that was enough. Well I guess so since she only came out to my car with two packets. She provided very poor customer service. I will not be returning to this location. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Generally, I love Sonic. It is by far my favorite fast food restaurant. This one however, is the worst location I have ever eaten at. The food is extremely inconsistent. Blasts are often not mixed through, so you end up getting plain Vanilla towards the bottom. Order extra items like extra brownie? You MAY get it ... Or you may simply be charged for it but the amount they give you here is so minimal it just isn't worth it. I don't feel like paying for a single tiny brownie thrown in there. Like shakes? Flip a coin ... Because sometimes you will get a shake you can sip with a straw, and other times you get another Blast flavor. When you order cinnasnacks with cream cheese frosting, you shouldn't have to ask for cream cheese frosting separately. I've seriously ordered a few times and didn't get it because I forgot to ask for it. These are issues I don't have with other locations. I ... just ... don't. Yet, this location is a short walk from my place, so I go for convenience. But I'm not going to expect quality. read more
