    I just went to sonic to get a cherry coke. I opened the lid to give my son a piece of ice and this little bug was just floating on top! I took it out to get a picture and it was a live one What a waste of my whole soda.

    All of our food was cold and looks like if it out for awhile.. wait 30 minutes to have cold food. Not fair

    That is all the strawberry in my Strawberry Limeaide.

    One would think if I'm paying over 3 and a 1/2 bucks for a strawberry lime that there would be more than a teaspoon a strawberry in it. There wasn't hardly enough to even give it flavor. It it was pretty much a straight Limeade dash of strawberry.

    Mozzarella sticks for 99 cents who can beat that!? Yeah right! Apparently you have to tell the employees of their own promotions or you don't receive the discount price. I tried to explain to Erika at the window but she made no effort to make it right. I'm not surprised Sonic is very slow and the service is atrocious.

    Quick bite to go and the only reason I'm in Shafter is because I had to appear for a driving violation. So when you get a ticket at Kern county and you have to appear at the Shafter court, you will at least have a nice place to grab a quick bite.

    My boyfriend and I always get an ice cream here on stay at home movie nights. Service is as best as it can be. I think some of the reviews are harsh. You have to keep in mind that this is a very small town and one of three drive thru's. You have three choices: Sonic, McDonald's, or Del Taco. Sonic is the only fast food who has happy hour after 8 so drive thru is always about 5 minutes or more depending on other orders. Staff is always friendly!

    We almost didn't come here because of all the bad reviews in the past but we gave it a chance and went through the drive thru.

    Stopped by Tommy's Pizza at Imbibe and it never disappoints! I love that you can call in your order…read morebefore arriving -- so convenient. Their Caesar dressing is hands down the best, with real anchovy flavor that makes it extra bold and authentic. I always order the Margherita pizza but swap in their spicy tomato sauce... absolutely delicious. Such a perfect pairing with Imbibe's pour-your-own wine spouts, and they make some of the best Old Fashioneds around. The Imbibe staff truly make the place feel like home. Great food, great drinks, great vibes!

    Probably one of the best selections in town. They have sommeliers and other experts to help you…read morealong the way, with making your selections. If you have a special selection, I believe they'll even make you an order. I've gotten probably every type of liquor in there and tried tons of new additions, which I love having in my selection at home. The workers are all very pleasant and greet you when you enter. They have music nights, tastings and a wood fire pizza oven, which I haven't been able to get to just yet. Love this place and will continue to give them business reasonably priced and aren't trying to make scam like some of these liquor stores around town. Definitely give this place a shot, especially because they're in the middle of town and the selection is the best. Have a great one and see you at the next spot.

I wanted a couple of things to restock my car and they had so much to offer. Hopefully next time I can grab a few more pics, unless you just want to stop by yourself. They are in between Don Pericos and Nuestros Lounge. If you need a good selection of craft beer or a mixer to go with your regular selection they probably have what you're looking for. Their liquor selection is pretty substantial as well, on top of what the store owner will try to up-sell you ;). Super friendly owners and if they don't have what you're looking for they have told me personally they'll order it(I think within reason people). I didn't grab a pic of the isles, so if you're in there make sure to take a pic. I'm telling you they are probably one of the most well stocked liquor stores in the area. They even fill orders from Drizzly. Cost wise I think they look pretty reasonable, but I haven't really done a price comparison between grocery stores or BevMo. Overall I think with the friendly owners and how close they are to my house it was worth the 5 Star rating.

They have a Cinnabon inside and a Carvel. They have tons of local food items on sale and if you're looking around they have a free popcorn station. You pop your own popcorn and it's self serve. Any time we have visited just for gas, we come out with other stuff, so be prepared to stock up on snacks. The inside is clean and the gas pumps area is also clean. If you're on this side of town and need to gas up or grab some snacks, you should check this place out.

The sweet almond pretzel with caramel sauce is my absolute favorite--sweet, crunchy, and totally addictive. The pretzel bites were amazing too; so flavorful, and you could actually taste the buttery goodness. To top it all off, I ordered a white gummi Jamba Juice made with mango, pineapple, and sorbet, and it was absolute perfection. The girl working the drive thru was so sweet and had a smile on her face. I definitely felt welcome. It's definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area and want a tasty snack!
