Ok look...I get it. And if you are going to have a good experience here too, you have to "get it". I will be the first to say that I am dazzled by the bright colors and the speakers at every stall. If I was with anyone else other than my mother (hence in a good mood), I would be squealing with delight at the sound of roller skates coming towards us. My mother however, does not "get it". And therefore that put me in a bad mood. My mother complained that upon first eating her chicken it was tasteless. I sat there holding a literally soggy grilled cheese telling her that this was still fast food after all. She complained that the bellhop didn't bring out napkins or ketchup, and I actually had to agree with her there. Bottom line is "get it". I knew coming here that the food would be terrible. That's not the point. You go for the show! I can get bad fast food anywhere, but do they have roller skates and slushies (which by the way I haven't tried a slush yet, which is funny because I sell them for a living)? Do they have cheese sauce on tater tots? DO THEY HAVE EGGNOGG SHAKES? I think not! None of these things you would willingly put into your body if you were home, but together...well together...they make up sonic! p.s. The eggnogg oreo shake was decent, but next time I am going to skip on the whipped cream, the likes of which is certainly not made from any cream I have had. read more

This is a great Sonic to go to. The buffalo and sweet Asian chili boneless wings were yummy and sauced well. The onion rings were nice and crispy and delicious. Our carhop Joshua was very friendly and even went to get us extra ketchup packets. We've been to Sonics before that have been pretty good, but this one is our new favorite. The parking lot/area is kept very clean. It might be fast food, but it still tastes pretty dang good or else we wouldn't ever get it. The service matters a whole ton too, and the service here was excellent. The prices are great too. read more

Have yet to be disappointed but are multiple trips to sonic. We've tried multiple items on the menu and everything is been better than average for a fast food chain. Big fan of the chocolate shakes and popcorn chicken. read more

Food is ok. Nothing special about burgers. Shakes are great at happy hour that's really about it.

My husband and I went to Sonic in Somerset, MA one week ago. We used the drive thru as all the stations were full. We placed our order and waited in line. An employee came out with our food as we were still waiting in a line of cars and asked for payment. We have her our debit card and she said she would be right back. She went inside, came back out with other orders for other vehicles. We noticed she handed a paper to the vehicle in front of us and heard her ask for them to write their name and phone number on it??? We we're still waiting for our debit card and receipt from her. She never once came back with our card or receipt, we had to wait in line until we got up to the window where another employee was asking us for payment!!! We told the employee at the window we already gave the other girl our card and are still waiting for it back with the receipt. She then told us there was a mix up with a few debit cards and they "didn't have it". We asked where it was and they said they didn't know??! She asked us to write our name and phone number on a paper and they would call us if they found it!! In the meantime if the employee that took our card didn't know what happened to it she should have just told us so we could have called and canceled the card immediately, but she didn't have the decency to even come back to our car to tell us of the mix up. Also, why is Sonic letting employees come out with the food and ask for payment without a credit/debit card machine to run the payment through right in front of the customer?!!! That is very very very poor service. I called corporate two times this past week to discuss this matter and I'm still waiting for a call back! Now I know why we got such poor service at the branch in Somerset, MA, if we can't get corporate to call us back how do they have any competent employees???! I will NEVER go back to Sonic and I've warned everyone I know about them. For all I know, an employee may be stealing the debit cards!!! read more

I came here at about 11pm. I used a drive up speaker and the service was very fast. The burgers were made to order and very hot. The shakes were delicious and thick. The loaded tots were delicious as well. It only cost $16 for 2 people to eat, I will definitely be back when I am in the mood for something quick and cheap. read more

Had an issue with the app and the two people who helped us figure it out were super helpful and understanding. Will definitely come back!

I was not impressed. The shakes were good but the food was less than exceptable. My chicken was over cooked on the outside and undercooked o the inside. The tater tots were cold. read more

So i was totally looking forward to trying sonic, seeing we always see the commercials but never had one close. Visited the new one in somerset and was very disappointed. The atmosphere was cute as far as the drive up idea. Although the space was so small that it made it tough to fully read the menu, as well as enjoy the quick rollerskating waiters. I ordered a shake, which was simple vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup..i could have made that at home. A mozzarella stick..eh nothing major..and a double hamburger . Burger was greasy which ok not too bad i can deal with that, size of the burger was very good, bigger than your average quick fast food place. However, it was all good until i lifted the burger to my mouth for a bite and got a fowl odor! Completely turned my stomach, i have no idea what it was but it was gross. I didnt even take one bite because i was so turned off by the smell. Idk where they get their meat from but it smelled absolutely disgusting! Will NOT return! read more

This was a decent fast food restaurant. I mean it's not as common as McDonalds or Burger King. But it is very original. It has a very classy design, do to looks. The service is a little more slower then most fast food restaurants. But they apologised for the wait, and gave us a free shake. It is cool how they deliver the food to you on roller skates. The food was average. The burger was cold. The fries were decently warm. The mozzarella sticks were very flavorful, hot, and well seasoned. I love the marinara sauce. The shakes were creamy, but way too thick. And that is my review on Sonic. read more

If it were possible to give ZERO stars, I would!!!!! This is my first time trying Sonic. My kids and I were very excited to give a try. We ordered a few of everything: cheeseburgers, corn dogs, tater tots, fries, frozen lemonades, & slushees. The food was inedible!!!! This has to be the worst food I have ever eaten. I can't believe they charge for this! Think of the worst school cafeteria meal you have ever eaten, thrown in the microwave, and served through a drive-thru. That is Sonic! I don't know how this chain stays in business. Do yourself a favor and just eat a PB & J at home for lunch. It's much better!!!!! read more

Went for the first time yesterday. Got a bunch of different things to try. Got a cranberry limeade and it was delicious! Shake was good and thick too, service was fast and friendly and everything was super clean. The food unfortunately, did not really taste that great and it wasn't hot. Still a fun experience, though! read more

You order what you want.... 15 min later they give you whatever they feel like making instead , you order a grill cheese they give you a couple of corn dogs instead... they should close this place and put something better there, pretty much anything else would be better read more

This place gets one star for the friendly staff. Too bad they are forced to serve horrible food. I suspect most of the food is frozen and microwaved. I have been there twice since they opened. I will never return even if the food was free. read more

Appearance seems clean and nice. Customer service was great. The food is awesome and the price is great. However, timing to serve food needs work. Overall, it's a good place to go and eat delicious fast food. read more

I would honestly avoid this place at all costs. The location is far too small to deal with the traffic that a Sonic brings in, and it results in a frustrating experience. One of their drive thrus doesn't work, even though there's no sign, you only find out once you've been waiting in line for 15 minutes, and there's literally no place to go except out. If you're lucky enough to get a bay, expect them to hear your order wrong, and even when they hear it correctly, your order will be wrong when it gets to you. The food is subpar, and the set up is a nightmare. read more

This food is disgusting! My friend and I got home to half are order and the food was gross. The cheese in the mozzarella sticks was like stick cheese. The burgers and fries were mushy and soggy. I strongly suggest you stay away from this place, until you want to get ripped off. MAKE SURE you check your bag prior to leaving! read more

Okay, I really tried. Went there with the hubbie this past Saturday afternoon for a quick bite. Found a car port and ordered two Sonic boom boxes. The order came out promptly and correct EXCEPT: my burger was missing a good portion of the meat AND there was no burger at all in my husband's sandwich! That's right - there was a bun, cheese, pickles, and onion, but no meat. They came out quickly enough with a new burger (with meat this time), but the damage was done. You're breakin' my heart, Somerset Sonic! I really need to stop going here before they ruin my desire to ever go to another Sonic again. read more

Went with friends during a visit late last month, the food was perfect, a colleague said his burger was perfect. The staff had no qualms ringing us up on three separate debit cards. read more

This was my third time visiting a Sonic in New England. The order was served wrong for the third time. French fries were served cold and rubbery. The burger quality has now declined to where you are thankful they give you a mint with it. That was my last try. read more

My first time to Sonic, finally and I have to say that I am very impressed with the food and service. We placed our order and not even 5 minutes after taking our seats, our food arrived. The cheeseburger was excellent! The fries were hot and crispy. The Philly cheese steak was the real deal. The chili cheese cony dog was really good. The oreo shake I tried was very tasty and filling. The service was excellent. The servers were very polite and courteous. Way better than the top fast food chains. read more

I am here sitting in the drive thru line. There were young employee bringing out trash, located connected on the restaurant. One commented about "slapping the white out of him" and the other male replied "come here I'll beat your ass". The line is annoying but to hear that while I am waiting with my young five old parakeet son, it was highly inappropriate. I am a huge fan of the chain but I'll have to take a second thought before return to this establishment... read more

The franchise owner was very helpful and polite and made sure I had a positive experience

This sonic is great. Fast and friendly service and great tasting food! If you've never been to Sonic before I recommend the cherry limeade!

Went tonight and did the drive up order, it was very busy. The manager himself delivered our food. His level of customer service was incredible, I have never had such a great experience at a fast food restaurant. The food was great too! Thank you!!! read more

I was the only car in the drive thru and I waited 20 mins at the window for a sundae and popcorn chicken. After they asked what kind of sauce I wanted they still didn't give me any. I went back thru and asked for ranch..... They came back with honey mustard. These people here just can not get it together. Also it always costs a little more than I think it will. Their prices seem to be a bit higher than other fast food and I can never read the menu at the drive thru because the writing is pretty much microscopic! read more

I was really excited when I heard they were opening a new sonic in Somerset because I've always seen the commercials but there was just never one near me. When they opened they were packed so when I finally got to eat there I was very disappointed. Their food is absolutely gross and they are probably the worst fast food place I've ever eaten at. If I ever decide to go there again I would probably just be there for milkshakes cuz that's the one thing they are good at. read more

Once we got into a stall we ordered, then after a half hour we hit the button and asked where is the food, they told me they would look for my order, 15 mins later it came out.when the food came out it was soggy and cold, Nasty the grease soaked though the aluminum wrapper, the attendant said sorry we only have two people working bringing out food. Waited another 10 min then the new food came out. Not worth $20.00 we spent on dinner for two. read more

Very bad. Asked for a grilled cheese with tater tots on side and got them in the grilled cheese. Did not taste right and got food poisoning less than 5 hours later. read more

Love this chain! By far the best fast food chain ever! And we need more diversity in our area! Burgers are awesome but be aware that these burgers are meant to be eaten soon after ordering. Unlike the other fast food places Sonic uses great fresh ingredients and when you mix the hot of the burger with the cold of your veggies and condiments you need to consume it when served NOT take it home it's not that kind of fast food;). In my opinion if food 'travels' well it's not REAL food! Love that Sonic is finally close by!! Makes my cheat day all the better to look forward too read more

Food is not bad however I've had better. I go to the sonic in Florida when I'm on vacation in Titusville. Compared this one had no sense of direction. The hoppers who bring the food are cheerful. But wait time is very long. For fast food it's supposed to be quicker not 20-30 minutes. I waited over 45 minutes just to order. Place needs better organization skills with regards to how they knew people would act for a sonic in this area. Food wasn't hot when it came out and was very sloppy. I've had better. The ones in Florida were great super hot fresh but not burning hot food and pleasant people who were there with a smile on your face. My 4 year old acts better then some of the scum I have seen here waiting in line with my husband 2 hours the trip took. It's fast food dammit not a gormet meal. Shakes were still the best . read more

let me first say i'm so sick of fast food restaurants advertising chocolate ice cream but it's really vanilla mixed with chocolate syrup. THAT'S NOT CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM AND DOESN'T TASTE LIKE IT EITHER. (wouldn't be such an issue for most people but i HATE vanilla! plus what if i was allergic to vanilla? false advertisement waiting for a lawsuit, just saying) food is also mcdonalds/burger king quality. nasty. probably cooked in the morning and sits in a heated drawer until its served. i had ordered a chicken sandwich and the lettuce on it was warm, so gross. just means it was sitting under a heat lamp until i ordered it! all the hype over this restaurant opening here and its no better than the crap we already have. read more

Food absolulty sucks. No wonder the where never sonic in new England and they messed up my order. Wait half an hour in line theN you get the wrong food and it's gross . Got two burger two chicken sandwiches and mozzarella sticks they give no sauce for by the way !!! Spent 40 bucks on a day that burgers where supposedly half price . I think I got screwed NEVER AGAIN... SONIC IS JUNK !! read more

First impression of a Sonic shake: I got a Dulce de leche, it was so thick I had to actually use some force to push the straw in, and then nearly popped a lung trying get my first taste (which ironically is what I think is a criteria for a good shake, lol). The shake, what I've managed to sample so far, is pretty good. Better than anything else around here, but not worth taking a drive to Sonic just to get - i.e. if you're in the area and can spare 10min or so in a drive through line, then it's worthy. read more

Awful! I don't know what the hype is all about!!! Went there while waiting for my tires to be replaced next door. Waited 45 min in line inside. Ordered grilled chicken sandwich: so dry & tough that I had to ask for extra mayo, mini onion rings (that's 3 of them), and they had a funky taste; and a mini shake, this was the only thing that was not bad but nothing special. Would not recommend at all read more

The food is good. The shakes are amazing! I will always come here for their shakes. The strawberry cheesecake shake is the best. Now I want one lol. I like how they come out to the car and deliver the food to you. Nice place. read more

I normally never would be caught dead eating fast food....but......after two grueling long scary days job-hunting I decided to treat myself to something new......and my reward of the day. The food was so outstanding and the staff so sweet and cheerful it about knocked my socks off. I returned the 2nd day and tried something else on the menu and OMG it was every bit as outstanding. You cannot get more perfection out of a drive-thru than this fabulous Somerset location. read more

Don't waste your time and money to have a "supersonic" day, you wont. I understand the excitement that comes with a new place opening in am area that's overall food rating is two stars maybe, but common people. Settling for shitty food adds to the problem we face as the people of somerset and swansea. read more

Drive though is too slow. I'm here at an off hour. Basic burger took 15 min. No napkins. No parking for drive through. Too expensive. One and done. read more

After seeing all the commercials on tv, I finally gave in to the hype, and tried them. The burgers were no better quality than what you would get if you went to McDonald's, but at an inflated price. Tater tots were cold. The only thing that saved this review from being 1 star is the halfway decent milkshake (at least it was made with real ice cream). Don't waste your money! Go down the road to Five Guys! read more
