    Old, cold fries
    Kelly S.

    Absolute WORST!!! The listed hours show this location closes at midnight. We placed an online order at 10:53 pm and on the app it said our order would be ready about 10:59. We pulled in and parked in one of the mobile order stalls and checked in on the app with my stall number. It responded and said that someone would be out soon. At 11:20, 21 minutes after our food was due, one of the people in our car went up to the door and saw a sign that we had not noticed before from our position in the lot, saying that only the drive through was open. She walked to the drive thru and was ignored for a few minutes then after banging on the window a woman responded and told her the lobby closed at 10 and we had to pull in to the drive thru window to pick up our food that had been sitting there. So I pulled around and the woman was rude and very dismissive. She told me again that the lobby was closed and I said the app didn't say that, it said they would be out in a few minutes. She shrugged and said "I can't control what the app says". At this point our food had been sitting on the counter waiting to be picked up for 30 minutes. Needless to say it was cold and disgusting. When you arrive you check in and put in the stall number where you are parked so they KNEW we were there. Also, one of the employees came out the door on the side of the building where we were parked, he stood there a few minutes then went back in. When he first walked out he looked at us then turned around and faced the building, almost like he was smoking a cigarette maybe. I KNOW he saw us waiting and he didn't bother to come over and tell us that the lobby was closed. They KNEW we were out there but didn't care and left our food sitting there then acted like they were bothered by us. This is our second visit to this location and it will be our last as both were bad experiences, the last being the worst. I want to again state the lady in the drive thru had a really bad attitude. *As a side note, while we were waiting we discussed that we wouldn't want our kids coming outside to deliver food to vehicles that late at night, so we understand the safety aspect of only having the drive thru open at that hour. BUT THE APP NEEDS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THIS!

    First time at sonic. Drove up to the menu board. Ordered. Food was delivered to our vehicle. Couple of chicken sandwiches and some jalapeño poppers. Cherry limeade to wash it all down. Good food. Service ok. Will eat here again.

    I ordered a blast and it was brought out pretty fast given that they were busy and it was better than I expected.

    Amazing place in Lakewood Ranch! I'm so happy to have a great brewery/restaurant close to home…read morejust like what I was used to where I moved from years ago. Great food, awesome beer selection, and love the vibe! Had the dry rub wings today along with a couple hazy's. Excellent! For those posting negative reviews, I urge you to give them another shot. We were there the night they reopened after Hurricane Milton, as it seems were half Lakewood Ranch! It's an understatement to say they were slammed! They were doing the best they could given the circumstances. Yet there was a table close to us that found fault. Give it a friggin rest people! Everyone is entitled to have an "off day", especially after a Cat 4 hurricane rips through your area! Inner Compass didn't have to reopen as quickly as they did. But they did anyway because they were serving a real need. If people don't see that, then that's on them! I've never had a bad meal there. Yes, occasionally service is slow or less attentive but if you look at the wider picture of what's happening in the moment, there's a real, legitimate reason. People, don't just get stuck in your own bubble and actually take time to observe what's going on around you! In the meantime, I plan to go to Inner Compass as often as I can for my ICB Beer Cheese Burgers and Hazy Boys!

    Great food (crunchy fries, well-cooked pizza, meatball sub was superb), we sat at the bar and had…read moreexcellent service from our bartender. For a Sunday evening in Bradenton, the place was busy without being overwhelmed. Not our first visit, won't be our last, we love Inner Compass!
