    A Five Star Sonic Brownie Hot Fudge Sunday this evening. Thank you to employee Jase, who made this very delicious Sweet Treat for me. Feeling the joy & Love of eating a hot fudge Sunday in my car. So fun, this will never get old. Who doesn't love a fantastic ice cream Sunday with whipped crème and a cherry, while sitting in the car listening to music! A great experience at Sonic! Next time, I will bring the Family! See you soon. Julie A

    40 MINUTES from order to food!

    First, let me say, we LOVE Sonic! It's out guilty pleasure fast food. Sonic smashburger & pickle fries? TAKE MY MONEY. It has always been a decent experience here - save for chronically forgotten sauces & napkins - but today REALLY missed the mark. 4/16/25 @ 6:47pm, I ordered online and prepaid. Arrived at 7:04pm, just a few minutes after the app indicated my food would be ready. Parked and pressed the infamous RED BUTTON on the board, told the young man that answered I'd ordered online. He asked my name and said my food wasn't ready yet. I sat for 10 minutes and waited. No one came out w my food. Sat another 10 minutes and noticed a steady stream of people walking INTO the employee area w receipts & bags, so something was going on. I finally walked up to the server area and asked what was the wait, and was told I "hadn't checked in yet". I said I had spoken to someone 20 minutes ago and looked towards a young man, and that tells me he FORGOT about me, while my food sat getting cold. They offered to refund me, I should have allowed it but my family had not been waiting over 30 minutes for food and I just wanted to get home. So, I got stuck with cold, soggy food. Boooo Sonic, no one thought what is this bag doing here? I hope management helps refine their employee procedures of who answers and carhops hot food to waiting customers.

    Sonic has always been a quick and easy experience for us when we stop by. Lately i have been obsessed with their sugar cookie doctor pepper. Yes im pregnant.. but hey i think it's a winner all the time. We usually get the smash burgers which are always a win. Seems like a nicer fast food option than McDonald's or Burger King, but still definitely fast food. The mozzarella sticks are so good but they almost always forget the marinara sauce so make sure you check before you drive away!!

    Told the dude the menu item is right there.

    Tried to order a chili cheese wrap and this dude didnt even know that it existed. I would've understood if he just said they ran out of stuff for it, but NO. He didn't even know what it was when I explained what section of the menu it was under. My humble brother in christ, you work here. But they gave me a free item for the bother so thats nice.

    I have frequently visited this Sonic with my family for years now. I thought I wrote a review here before. I still come back because their food is consistent and who doesn't love their milkshake menu?! They also serve later than other burger joints in the Sparks area. I have only had a few mishaps with delivery to my house, so I only come here in person. Food is served hot. There's a bit more of a wait, but I would rather wait then receive cold food. Service can be a bit slower if you're parked and order at one of their intercoms. They don't always work. I suggest avoiding this place when they have their happy hour. It can be a zoo, but if you're into that more power to you! I came by tonight to grab burgers for my kiddos. I really didn't want to wait in an In and Out line. It wasn't too bad of a wait tonight for three cheeseburgers and two milkshakes. Their Sonic smashers are delicious. I stole a bite from my son. I was bummed because they are out of mini cups, so I canceled my mini shake. I didn't want a small shake or I'd drink it all. Kudos to the staff for getting us through the line. The cars piled up behind me as I was placing my order. Suggesting bringing different forms of payment if you heavily rely on mobile payment. I noticed a sign that there wasn't any Apple pay. I was very pleased with the quality tonight, but that wasn't always the case here. I might have to come back for a smasher for myself soon. I can't attest to the inside of their restaurant since I've only been in the Reno location when I got my driver's license years ago with my friends. I'm a firm believer in ice makes a drink better and Sonic ice is my favorite!

    Every time I want Sonic... This one is an issue. Either they shut off their ordering on the app, the stalls aren't working or they'll say its open on the app and Google, you get there and EVERY SINGLE light is shut off except the inside with employees working, probably cleaning to go home earlier. Today, I went to get two drinks. Of course, their machines aren't working so they are directing every car to the drive thru, whether they are doordash or mobile order. Or, if you want to wait in the heat then you can go wait by there door. The person who opened the door today was EXTREMELY rude as it seemed like it was an inconvenience to get the two drinks ordered. When we left there were about 15 cars in the drive thru. It wrapped around the restaurant to the window and then leaving was a disaster cause cars were blocking the only way out around the building. My drinks were good, but the service.... Do better Sonic employees. You guys ask for tips through the app prior to the arrival?? You had plenty of employees, from what was seen, to run out and take orders at the stall.

    Cashier was very friendly over the speaker, very polite and listened perfectly to my order! Sonic's is a drive through restaurant so there's barely any atmosphere or ambiance. Though I will say that they chose a good location to be in at the corner of a busy street. I ordered the Sonic Double Cheeseburger, an Oreo Cheesecake Shake, and some Tenders. The burger was okay, that's about it. It wasn't anything very special. They didn't even put very much lettuce or ketchup on it. The tenders were a joke. They were so small for the price and they weren't even all that crispy! The fries were under salted but otherwise they were decent I suppose. The shake was the best part of the meal, but mostly by default. It was pretty good and big for the price, but that's it. Overall a pretty lacking experience. If it wasn't for the low price and the kindness of the employee than this definitely would have been a 1 star. Go only for the shakes and maybe the other drinks.

    Their Cheeseburgers are soooo good. Tasty. They always do extra pickles right. Yum yum. Fantastic service. Food came out in less than 5 minutes.

    Sonic blast with reese's

    Omg guys I had a horrible day and thought I would go to sonic and get a sonic peanut butter blast to feel better. The guy asked what size I thought about my day and said large. I have never had a large but thought what the heck let's do it. I get to the window and he asks how I am and I say OK and he of course says "just ok?". I reply bad day. Then I say that is why I am getting ice cream. He said good call ice cream makes everything better and I smiled. The service was quick and friendly and the ice cream was very good and omg humongous. So much ice cream. Maybe can't finish it. Lol

We will most definitely be back. The burger in particular was what impressed us both. The quality of the meat was impeccable, delicious flavor, with a nice crispy sear. He let me sneak a bite, and the patty just melts in your mouth. I have no complaints or changes I would make to the burger. The service was so friendly and fast! They were very helpful in choosing what to order! The bison comes from their ranch in Wyoming, the owners brother runs the ranch! The elk comes from a group of family farms they have been doing business with for over 40 years in New Zealand. (Wow!) And the in house ground beef is mostly Niman ranch and Creekstone farms. I don't think you will find a better burger in Reno! We sat inside on their bar stool seating, but there's lots of other seating available outside! The inside has a very modern and elegant feel! Regrettably I ate the food way too fast, so I did not get any pictures!! But I will be back with updates.

I ordered a BBQ burger at the counter and added an extra patty as well as some chicken tenders and fries for the kids. Service was quick and friendly. I've never had an issue with Armando's service! Truly- the quality of the food here can't be beat. Freshly ground meat, selection between beef, elk, and bison, and high-quality ingredients all the way down to the produce. Sometimes a thick, juicy burger is just what you want. You won't find a puny smashed patty here. Only delicious, perfectly cooked, thick patties. The extra $6 to make it a double is totally worth it. I was even impressed by the fries! Super crispy and well seasoned. The chicken tenders were not overcooked, as you find at many places. The chicken was still very moist while maintaining a crispy exterior. Great choice for your butchery needs, but also a great place to grab some very tasty lunch!

All their meat was very tender falling off the bone. It was absolutely delicious. The cornbread was very soft and was super moist and most cornbread are hard as a rock. The coleslaw and potato salad I really like a lot. I really love the potato salad because it didn't have a lot of pickles or a lot of mustard in it. It was really balanced and the same for the cole slaw. The service was wonderful the staff were so friendly. I really recommend this place if you're ever in Reno it is a family owned and the food is just really excellent. Side note that Guy Feri diners, drive-ins, and dives was on their wall. So you know this place is legit.
