I love going to the Sonic Drive-In for several reasons. First, this particular drive in appears to be well run. They are extremely efficient (we always go to the drive in stations), pleasant, and have always gotten our order right. We enjoy being able to listen to music or read out loud to one another while we eat- and a drive in offers a perfect opportunity for that as you are not going to disturb any other patrons. I also love the Sonic Drive-In because they have more than one sugar free option for soda- I love their Diet Lime Limeade. The burgers are delicious, they have great fries and sweet potato tots- and my husband loves their Ice Cream/icee dessert. We will continue to go to this restaurant when we are looking for a good burger and a quiet meal together alone :) However, it is a fast food joint so your healthy options are limited! read more

just moved to the area, and when i found this place, my heart skipped a beat. Sonic is like the chupacabra of all fast food restaurants! I always saw commercials but never knew where I could find one (other than aurora, and I used to live NW chicago). I'm a sucker for corndogs, which I always get. I can pair this with a jr. cheeseburger which lets me try a little bit of everything, since these items are on the cheaper side of the menu. While the food is okay (as is most fast food) the real stars are the drinks Their drinks are just delish (I love the blue coconut cream slush). They have some really good milkshakes too! I opted for the banana shake with hot fudge mixed in. Love that they can flavor any soda- green apple sprite? yes please!! This place is perfect for those hot summer days where u just need some refreshments to stay hydrated Saving the best for last, they open at 6am but serve the full menu ALL DAY LONG! This is so great since I work night shift and sometimes want a hearty meal at 7-8 am. read more

Terrible, slow service!! Ordered 4 custard concretes, received 3, took over 20 minutes to get the order. Never again!! read more

Not the best when it comes to ordering via the drive-thru. The few times I did visit, no one said anything at all when I pulled up the the speaker for a few minutes even after I tried getting their attention. read more

Hmm. Hot dogs aren't all that, nor are their burgers. There are better fast food burgers out there. At the same time, I like that you can take your time in your car in deciding what you want before you order it. They have some desert items and like other fast food chains, a value menu. I guess for late nights of fast food cravings, this is a spot for corn or chilli dogs in the burbs, especially at some weird hour.... read more

Ok I usually don't give reviews on true fast food places (I just don't) well at least not knowingly. My friend and I just wanted a cool treat as a last hurrah to the summer...it was super late and Sonic was open.... I have never been to Sonic in my entire life and had no interest in ever going but they had ice cream! So on we went....our treats were so/so... But the 4 stars go to the really nice gentlemen who worked the drive thru! He was funny and awkwardly (when I say awkwardly polite he was like textbook polite but maybe a little socially awkward-like his momma taught him right but he needs a little more time to make the manners his...made it more confusing? Well he was a very nice young gentleman)...he looked like he was fresh out of high school or in high school, he was even more polite when we changed our order when we got to the window to pay...he let us change our order with no issue, no attitude and no problem.... Would I go there all the time, no since I am not generally a fast food junkee...but in a pinch for a quick treat...YES.... Thanks Sonic Drive thru guy :) read more

I have eaten here before and had pretty quick service through the drive up window. I just went on a Saturday night at 6:30 pm. I ordered a double cheeseburger, tater tots and their boneless wings, They said the boneless wings would take 7 to 9 minutes There were only two car in front of me. It took about 15 minutes. They apologized for the long wait and gave me a coupon for a hot dog and a drink. The food was good. read more

This particular Sonic I don't know if it is the people working in there or they don't understand you or they just don't care but in the last two weeks I've been there about five times and they have gotten my order wrong all five times I gave up calling them because they don't like do anything about it they just said oh I'm sorry you don't come back what I'll let you know once I'm home I don't want to come back I am disabled and after a long day last thing I want to do when I get my food is to come back so my first time I went in in a long time I ordered the yellow cake batter milkshake size large well they gave me a vanilla one and me and my husband went back because he was driving and I said dude this thing is great but I want what I paid. The second third fourth time I went in I ordered a hot dog no onions because I'm allergic and I got my hot dog with onions I ordered burger no onions and mustard I got mustard I ordered my next order was two corn dogs I got one and I also ordered onion rings extra burnt I pretty much told them I want them black I got him home and my husband have to eat them because I can't have onions unless they're burnt and I've explained that to them I mean any other place I can go to that has onion rings and I tell him that and they do what I want this last time that I went in I ordered popcorn chicken and it was popcorn but it wasn't chicken and I don't what it was but I cracked my tooth on it. So I would say if you're going to order food and have any type of allergies and your request any specifics check your bags before you leave their parking lot because seriously I've gone back. I've called whatever and all I get is I'm sorry but we can help you win if you come back and like I said after a long day I don't want to come back I'm tired I'm at home already so I'm just saying buyer beware I guess read more

Usually have great service. Today my sandwhich felt like salt was poored on it. Nasty. I asked for apples instead of tator tots and they still gave me tator tots. Bad breakfast day. Usually i get a great breakfast but not today read more

A summary of my Friday night experience-ordered one large peanut butter cookie dough dream master blast and one medium Oreo blast with extra Oreo- total came to $12.35- gave the girl $15.35, received the wrong change, tipped a dollar but was only given $1 back instead of $2, let it go- drove home and realized I received a brownie cookie dough master blast (instead of the one I ordered with peanut butter, chocolate chips and cookie dough) boyfriend had barely any Oreos in his and we paid for extra Oreo so we decided to take them back. When we arrived back we were told the computers were down for 20 minutes and they couldn't help us- we explained that we were just there and our order was incorrect and we would like it remade- the girl that originally brought out our blasts came and helped us, apologized and said she would remake them- Oreo one came out much better the second time around and I could see the peanut butter swirls in mine this time so I was happy- people make mistakes right? I get home to find there is once again brownie in my blast and no chocolate chips- at this point I just want to eat some ice cream so I try to ignore the brownie pieces and dig in- halfway through my $7 blast which took two tries to get wrong had no toppings and the remaining half was nothing but vanilla soft serve. Thank goodness there are other options to get my ice cream fix in schaumburg- I won't be back, but for those who dare? Check your items closely before leaving because chances are your order is wrong! read more

Great shakes and icees. They have the half price happy hour when you can get cheap drinks. Tuesdays you can get 5 burgers for $5.95 and the burgers are decent size and they had no issues with me changing what was on each. Their jalapeño poppers are good. We went on a Tuesday during happy hour so we got cheap drinks and cheap burgers! read more

First time here so many yummy options couldnt decide spent 15 dollers ordering all different sides so good the car hops where so friendly and nice and the food was great and tasty read more

Terrible serice. I ordered 4 shakes & waited 30 minutes, 2 of the 4 shakes were wrong too.

It took them 12 minutes to make two cheeseburgers and fries. 12 minutes... in the DRIVE THRU. if I had 12 minutes to spare, I would've pulled into a stall. Do you know how long that is with a crying child in the backseat? Then when they opened the window, they asked me what I ordered. You guys really have to work on the service. read more

Big disappointment. Had a craving for a New York hot dog with sauerkraut, so ordered 3 of them for my husband and I. They came with no sauerkraut!!!! That's the most important ingredient that makes them NY!!! And the kraut adds a lot of filling to fill you up. Ordered other things. Asked for ketchup and mustard twice, and no mustard in the bag. Also ordered the cinnasnacks. You guessed it, no cream cheese frosting in the bag. You see a pattern here? A lot of missing items. Onion rings were absolutely flavorless. Well, I tasted grease if that counts, but not onions, coating, or seasoning. Where is quality control? Why are they so stingy, and not including things that COME with the order? If they are taking these kind of short cuts in quality, I don't want to think about the other short cuts behind the scenes. Pathetic and disgusting meal. Dog food would have tasted better. Ugh read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I came through the drive thru around 4 and no one was in line. I waited at the speaker for five minutes until I said hello. Once I got to the window I continued to wait till someone took my payment. They handed me my shake and it ended up being the wrong one. I yelled to get someone's attention and no one did for another five minutes. In total I was at that window for fifteen minutes and as I drove off I opened the bag and found my onion rings completely burnt. No wonder it took so long. I tried to treat myself and I left very disappointed. Never coming back again. read more

Service was superb. Jose had a very nice butt. Chicken tenders very tender. Milkshake was well shaken. 10/10 will order here again.

If I could eat this food every day, I would. But alas, my waistband is screaming in resistance. Staff is really nice, and food is promptly made. I give 4/5 stars because the parking lot is wonky and will probably be overcrowded come summer. read more

Good customer service, friendly staff, and fairly quick, but there food quality has gone wayyyyy down! This used to be one of my favorite fast food restaurants. It always delivered on quality, but after having it this weekend, I think I'd rather go to McDonalds. Sonic, what happened? I'd advise against getting their new pretzel dog, it was dry with no flavor and the hot dog was rubbery. Their chili cheese fries that used to be oh so delicious were a soggy flavorless mess. =[ so disappointed! read more

Finally had a chance to taste one of their hotdogs...after watching all those commercials on TV...I had to come and see what all the rave was about..I had the chicago style hotdog...it was good...not the best..had a bite of the double cheeseburger and it was sooo yummy...a lil too messy but good...I loved their fries...resonable prices...not bad at all...hmmm might come again... read more

Basic functional fast food quality burgers will do in an emergency nothing special. Great Carmel chic malt though and we got our meal in about 2 minutes read more

I'm really upset they don't serve car orders on roller skates anymore. Also, the cake batter shake was my favorite flavor to ever exist and it only lasted a month. The service was good and there were loud teenagers singing and parked in the ordering spaces. I love Sonic. However, when there is an astonishing lack of roller skates and cake batter flavor I am distraught. read more

This is the worst sonic I have been to. There is almost always something wrong with my order or the food is cold; this is on top of horrible wait times. My son also got food poisoning from here. It is worth the extra drive to go to the sonic on 59 and Stearns. read more

This sonic is the WORST at following directions omfg this is the 2nd time the make a mistake on my order!! The 1st time I ordered like 6 slushes they charged me for 6 and they only gave me 5 like wtf. There's only guys working here I see seems like there all stupid asf n to busy talking to each other or on there phones when they should pay attention & do there job right !!! And the guy argued with me saying it's in there like wtf and I showed him where I count 5 not 6 than he finally gave me my 6th 1. And with this order I said peanut butter concrete mixer with butter finger peaces and he puts on my receipt and gives me cookie dough like wtf and I told him peanut butter and he acts like I never said that and didn't know what I was talking bout so I showed him the pic than he said ok hold on. And I got them and looks nothing like the pic also u can clearly see the ice cream is just Vanilla no peanut butter what so ever flavor Ike it's supposed to be and also the wait for all this I waiting like 15-20min it shouldn't take long just to make ice cream and 4slushies on top of all that they made mistakes !!! read more

I love sonics speed and costumer service. The food is always impressive! I love that you have an individual order placer. There's rarely a line. It's a great place to hang out with friends at any time of the day! read more

Super nice people, but RIDICULOUS wait times. 20 minutes wait for a shake? I recommend calling your order in first. Nice place to bike ride in the summer but be forewarned, if you choose to enjoy your food and ice cream outside on their tables, the bees and mosquitoes will be enjoying right alongside with you. read more

Good value on your food products Service is fast Senior get a discount The people are friendly

Definitely one of my faves for their Strawberry Limeade drinks. What a refreshment! Their Sonic burgers are good, and we have tried their different styles of hot dogs. Recommend getting tater tots instead of fries. The pull-up and order service is great now that you can pay at the stall from your car. The server sometimes comes to your car on roller skates. But the other thing we use a lot is the drive thru, when we are on the run. Fun place to eat. read more

Ok after all those commercials for their hot dogs - I was finally able to come here. I wasn't too impressed but I think I would visit again. I enjoyed the fries but the hot dogs which I had the Chicago style was ok... it wasn't anything you can't have anywhere else. I enjoy the concept behind it but that would be about it. Superdawg is way better for hot dogs. read more

I have been to this location on 3 different occasions in the past 2 months for just a milkshake. No food. And every time they have made the wrong shake. It's not rocket science and if you can't get my ONE SHAKE right how do you make whole orders? If you want a good shake just save your money and go to STEAK N SHAKE! They are cheaper and way better AND you get what you pay for! read more

Each and every time I have gone here I have had terrible service. Today was the worst. I ordered over $20 worth of food, including a medium drink that cost over $2. I noticed a sign saying all carbonated beverages were 99 cents. When I pulled up to pay, I asked about this. I was told the 99 cents only applies to large drinks, and I ordered a medium. I told the employee that I'd like to change my medium drink for the cheaper large one. She slammed the window shut on me. I sat at the window for over 5 minutes. Then the employee walked out the door and served the car behind me. Then she served the car behind that one. Then she served the car behind that one. When she went to serve the car behind that one, I called out my window and asked why my order was taking so long. She said I had to wait for a manager. This was about 10 minutes from when I placed my order. This was either gross incompetence or passive aggression on their part. I left and went elsewhere with my money. read more

The food is good however I had a strawberry sundae... halfway through eating it I found a black hair now I have light brown and blonde hair so they made me another one but still eww also check your order make sure its right had to send the food back twice! Sonic step up read more

This review is only for the food.went there on the doller hotdog night.lgot the hotdog with everything no peppers.a ok bun no tomato little mustard onions and relish and a small average hot dog.not very good they did have good service.if I payed full price I would give 1 star.skip the the hotdogs get the drinks only. read more

We literally waited 30 minutes for a shake, blast and cheese curds. We pay otherwise we would of just left

While overall the food tasted good, they forgot to toy for my son's kid's meal, and my daughter was disappointed with the lack of cherry in her cherry limeade...that was the part she was looking forward to the most. read more

My family and I decided this would be a good place to eat. We all wanted chili cheese dogs. We understand it was busy, there was a rush. And they appeared to be understaffed. Although, this is not our fault as customers. We should still receive exemplary service regardless. Upon arriving, first we had to wait about ten minutes after pushing the button to even just place our order. After this we waited 25 minutes to receive our food. When we got our food we were dissspointed to recognize that our chili cheese dogs had soggy buns. The chili had seeped into the bread. It was clear that our food had been sitting out and reheated. This was very annoying since we waited so long and paid such a large fee for a simple chili cheese dog. Will never go back again, complete waste of time. read more

This place is absolutely disgusting and a joke. The blt was over toasted to the point where it was black on one side, so they just flipped it inside out to cover it. All the sandwich are dripping wet from the veggies and soaking bread or perhaps SPIT???? WTF? They don't care if food is laying there for awhile. There is a pretty good chance your food might be like that. read more

Went to the drive in to get a shake, they took really long to take my order but shake came fast. I got the oreo cheesecake, really good! Too bad they took so long. read more

This 6 piece meal was enough to satisfy my hunger! They taste as fresh as the one's my mama made me back in 1993 (RIP). The breading is very crispy and the cheese is just the perfect amount of stretch. I paid $3.59 for these but I gladly would've given my left arm to eat this delightful food. I would recommend these to everyone I know :-) read more

I am frankly surprised by all these good reviews. i have been here twice now just to make sure, but this food is bland and mediocre at BEST. They are pricey too for garbage-y fast food. Their medium fry was so skimpy if I wouldn't have been in my car, I would have gone back in and said, is this a joke? And their menu specialties are neon slushies, sandwiches served on toast and tater tots to go with your burger on request. And they messed up my order and forgot the cheese which I paid extra for, arg...never again. read more
