If I had the choice of no stars or minus that would be it! I tried ordering online i could not pay with my gift card and that's the only reason I was going there. So I get there with the order still on my screen told them what happened they said they would adjust the price and take care of me. The guy comes out 2-3 times taking screen shots of my order asking the same questions again he said if u pull threw the drive threw we will take care of you there. Get to the drive threw still having issues they tell me to pull aside again we will take care of you finally the manager come out and said you can't pay with the gift card on line. We can do your order charge u reg price and u can use it. He said they are a franchise and they don't except the gift cards for on line orders! Wtf I thought Sonic was Sonic? Not happy at all won't return. read more

HiWent to the drive-thru on my lunch I ordered a small tater tot and a 5 piece chicken tender. The lady at the window even asked if I wanted any sauce for my tater tots I said no. I got almost back to work and saw that I had somebody else's order. I drove back and went back to the drive-thru and had to wait. A guy came out the side door took my receipt and the food that was incorrect In came back with chicken tenders and french fries! He had to go back again to get my tater tots. He did apologize and I understand everybody makes mistakes but when I got to work and tasted of the tenders I was very disappointed. They're either overcooked or they need to change their oil in their fryer. They look absolutely nothing like the picture that they portray in their drive-thru. They were terrible and I was unable to eat them. So for almost $9 all I got to eat was a small tater tot. Just disappointed with Sonic read more

Sonic Drive-In - Overcooked and or bad dirty oil used for cooking - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Terrible terrible. Had a hankering for a chili dog. My sister said go here thy had the best. Was she ever wrong!! Ordered 2 of the 1/4# Coney Islands with tater tots. The dogs had a slight smear of chili. Little bit of cheese. The tater tots were soggy and hardly cooked. Rip off. Little bit of chili cheese. Lousy tater tots. The ice tea was good. read more

i ordered a chicken sandwich and received a hard, old inedible piece of chicken. i politely asked for a remake, even tipped the carhop extra for the trouble. when i received the second sandwich, a cook thought it would be funny to wrap my sandwich in over nine pieces of tin foil. it took two minutes to fully open. attached below are pictures. and on top of that it was the same old, hard piece of chicken. probably the worst treatment i've ever gotten at a restaurant. When kitchen staff is treating customers food as a joke or a prank, it's hard to trust what they're doing to other peoples food behind the kitchen walls. overall a horrible experience. won't return after years of coming here and i recommend finding somewhere else to eat. read more

Sonic Drive-In - nine pieces of tin foil for one small sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

This is the only Sonic location in the Vancouver area, and I have to say I've never really been impressed with this place, one star all around if you asked me the last couple of years. But it did get a little bit of redemption with my last visit (after swearing I'd never go back). Previously, everything I ordered, or tried to order, they didn't have. This just resulted in me taking my business elsewhere; this all coming pre covid-19. Decided on Friday I would give it a try again. Personally I blame the commercials. Ordered the grilled cheese double burger, cheese fries and an Oreo cheese cake milkshake. Half expecting something in my order to be out of stock, I was pleasantly surprised the super professional stall attendant, Reiley (apologies if I spelled the name wrong), read back my entire order to me and instead of trying to hand me everything all at once, told me what she was going to hand to me in order and allowed me to situate it in my car before handing me the next item. Props to her for the professionalism. The food overall was pretty good, nothing too different from other burger chains, but it was pretty good nonetheless. I dont think I would order the cheese fries again. The cheese was basically a slice of melted American cheese that had already hardened by the time I went to eat it, and the fries were cold. The burger was hot and filling. I hardly got half way through the milkshake before tapping out, it was so rich. Overall, I am now neutral with Sonic. I wouldn't recommend it, but I also wouldn't advise against it and I likely wouldn't go out of my way to go there again. I'm sorry if that sounds a little harsh, but there isn't any "wow factor" to Sonic, it's just another burger chain in my book. read more

Today was the second time in ten years. The first time was when they first opened. My meal was terrible and the line was long as they were new in town. My order was incorrect and I could not wait more than 30 minutes to have it corrected so I had to leave. Today I thought I'd give it another try. Surly after 10 years they've worked out the kinks right? NOPE!!! The hamburger was just ok, with 4 packets of salt included in the bag. I also ordered a corn dog but they didn't bring it so I had to order again. I got the corn dog but no condiments. read more

Took the family for a late dinner. Managed to get everyone's order right except the guy who's paying, so they get this rating. 2 mistakes on the same sandwich. Brought it back to get it resolved and they only fixed 1 issue WITH ATTITUDE - uncalled for, guys. Threw the sandwich in the trash and decided I am never coming back - you lost a customer for life. read more

Burritos are child size, don't expect a filling meal if you order their Burritos. Not like the picture on the menu at all

I hate being wrong. It makes me physically ill to be wrong and have to admit it. I was wrong. Ouch. In a previous review I lamented the demise of our local A&W and may have said something to the effect of there was a stinking Sonic thriving nearby. Ouch. My wonderful, lovely and oft times right Wife wanted to go to Sonic. Me, being a dutiful husband and Father said that we could try it. After all, maybe it was wrong of me to condemn Sonic without Yelping one. Ouch. After all I have not tried one for maybe 13 years or more. Although some of my experiences with the franchise in the past have been less than stellar. Me, Wife and Tax Deduction arrived at the Sonic for dinner this evening. We ordered a variety of things in order to try a little bit of everything. A single and a double cheeseburger, a Frito chili-cheese wrap, grilled cheese, fries and tater tots and some drinks. Everything was basically audible through the speaker and we waited for the food to come. But not long! Our order arrived lickety split, and it was correct! Ok, maybe that is a little impressive. Ouch. I can't believe it, but it was one of the better fast food burgers I have had in a long time. It was large, it was tasty and you could actually taste the cheese. By the way the Tax Deduction was ripping through the grilled cheese it too must have been pretty good. I managed a little taste of it before I lost a finger to the flailing teeth of doom, everything tastes better with danger added. Ouch. Other things that were really decent about this Sonic was that they have an impressive diet soda collection, not just diet cola, but they had diet Sprite, low cal lemonade, diet Dr Pepper and iced teas of varying flavors. One of my gripes about today food joints, chains mostly, is the lack of variety for us diet drinkers. Sonic seems to have this handled well. Ouch. Other good things I had to endure was the bathroom was very clean (Men's anyway), the servers were very nice and were nice to the Tax Deduction, there are a bunch of things left on the menu I want to try still and the prices are very very very reasonable. Ouch, ouch, ouch! I still miss A&W though... read more

Great staff i think the owners need to make the garage things to have a touch screen menu to order and pay instead of having to call and then repeat the same things over again because we have an accent lol. Great food though, the slushies however good but suppeerr sweet read more

I specifically asked for no cheese on a bacon cheeseburger, and I still got cheese. It's even stated on the receipt. Since I was doing deck-work and had to handle chemicals, I went to the lavatory to sanitize my hands. They were low on soap, and the dryer wasn't working. No paper towels, so you have to touch the door handle (fortunately, I kept the door open with my foot). read more

Sonic Drive-In - According to the receipt, this is a Bacon Cheeseburger without Cheese. - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Very disappointed with food. The new chicken sandwich was smashed to a pancake, way to much dressing and chicken was cold and rubbery. Tot Frye's were cold and under-cooked. Next chicken sandwich was over cooked and tasted like cardboard. Drinks are usually good but trying to stomach on-top of garbage food was not enjoyable. Had to basically yell into the order mic for person taking order to understand what we wanted. Very disappointed with dine out experience - Negative Stars - read more

Average fast food joint a little of every thing. Chili dogs, corn dogs, burgers, chicken strips, slushes, shakes. Brings back the old days of a drive in diner with modern features. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I like sonic. They generally try to keep their offerings interesting, unusual and away from the norm. I usually come here for hot dogs since there aren't many places that sell them. Not a big fan of the burgers. There are just so many better places for a burger (like Five Guys, 20 steps away). I really like the drive-in thing... It's an interesting bit of kitsch that you just don't get elsewhere and makes ordering really relaxing (you aren't in a rush to pick what you want because you press the button to order when you're ready -- and people aren't behind you, waiting in line). read more

Looks good on the outside but the exact opposite inside. Whatever you do don't work here if you are passionate about your job because you are just gonna lose your mind because the amount of lazy people who work here everything that goes on in the kitchen is on your shoulder's on a bad day which is most of the time!!!!!!! read more

THIS SONIC LOCATION IS AWESOME!!! Food is always out super quick, even when it's packed. They are on point with napkins, fry sauce and whatever you need. So thankful they're open late so I can get something tasty after work. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GUYS, YOU'RE KICKING BUTT!!! read more

Music too loud to order. Order takers rude and couldn't enunciate his words - with the music and his short curt behavior it made the whole experience a nightmare. I ended up not ordering anything for myself, but just the kid because he was so frustrating to deal with. read more

Decided to give sonic a try during this Covid situation. I went there a few years ago and was not impressed. I have to say that this time is better. The food is actually tasty and the tater tots are great. I prefer the burger which you can get anyway with toppings of your choice and my wife loves their crispy chicken sandwich. The cherry limeade is great. read more

Idk.. this was our 2nd option..shakes are usually aight...but choking dwn banana (on a strawberry n banana shake) Winning! Okay.. don't slack on orders because you have an hour before your close time.. treat it as if I was coming thru @1pm.. if my money's legit then the service and/food should be as well! It's nothing complicated and I'm NOT asking for more than what wld be expected...simple stuff people..simple. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Better blenders maybe..? - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Let me just say.. I love Sonic okay ... was raised on it. The food was good as it usually is. The service decent.. almost. Right up until they gave me ice in the orange juice (who does that?? .. ice in O.J ?) I let it slide. But then.. I got more orange juice ..making sure to explain how I felt about the ice .. how about. ...this fool gives me ..orange juice with ice ..again. Customer Service... it's what's for sale. #fail. read more

I have never been many places that had a Sonic Drive-in. It is pretty cool to pull up and park and not get out of your car. You can order and pay right from the car. Their selection is huge and varied,, especially their drinks. I have tried a few different things off the menu and have like them all. The workers are very nice and prompt. I like the fact that we can push the button when we are ready to order and don't have to worry about the car behind us getting impatient. I did order the onion rings once and thought they were a little too bland for my taste and they tasted like they were dipped in sugar. I couldn't figure that one out. My husband loves them and his didn't taste like that.. but I just don't order them. I love their fries and the fry sauce. We go here when we want a good burger or foot long hot dog.. read more

Went there for my first time on Friday and it was a very horrible experience. They got the order wrong on one sandwich and the crispy chicken sandwich was super old tasting as if it was standing for hours the bread was literally like cardboard couldn't bite it. Sandwich went straight into the trash. And on top of that I ordered two kids meals and none of them had kid toys.. definitely do not recommend this place to anyone was a waste of money. Won't be returning read more

we go here everything single night and these hoe bags cannot get our slushies right every damn day tbese biches find a new way to fuck up. Never mixes our slushies and gives us no nerds and our shit is always melted. AND NOW THEY DIDNT PUT THE DANN FLAVORING. read more

I love driving out to eat here! It's about 25 minutes from my house, but it is totally worth it! Every time I come they are quick, service is great and the food is great! This time I could not find my wallet anywhere and the girl at the window was so sweet about it I should have got her name I was just in shock when she said we are all good. I highly recommend going here for dinner! read more

One word: awesome burgers! Burgers are tasty and fresh, made to order, and cheerily delivered to your car (or to the patio outside). French fries were eh. Onion rings are a better call. I'm a fan. read more

The breakfast burrito at lunchtime is hitting the spot but I can assure you that the $4.49 3 piece chicken tender looks nothing like the picture on the menu board! They are small, sad liking and have a taste that is both dry and like the oil hasn't been changed out in months, slightly fishy tasting. Asked for a refund so I could order something different but told I could only get the exact order replaced. read more

Not nearly as good as I was hoping. I prefer McDonald's. Though, Sonic has a larger variety of menu. I prefer being able to sit inside a restaurant. Not an option with Sonic. My car is too small. With 4 of us yesterday it was impractical to eat in either location. The Chili Cheese Coney Long Dog was icky. Too salty. Cheesy Tater Tots also not to my liking. The cheese was too little and over melted. Though, the childs toy is the BEST gyroscope I have ever encountered! read more

First time to Sonics ever! It was a great experience to be able to park your car and take the time to order from the vast array of fast food menu items. In the process you its mostly in car dining. You order the menu items through the speaker and can also pay with the credit card from the order box. Then they bring out the food directly to you! Never have to leave the car! How cool is that??? My food was def a little salty but it was worth the experience after seeing all of the commercials on TV!!! read more

The staff is mostly young and polite. Shakes are great and happy hour is a big bonus since I live nearby. The outside seating area is incredibly dirty. An employee came outside and wiped down a few tables. A good scrub down could help a lot. Ill stick to ordering from my car. read more

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO BE APART OF!! Went through the drive thru. Asked for a meal, girl is VERY rude talked over me then yelled a question I was answering already. I stayed polite said thank you and yes ma'am. Got to window I was still smiling and nice....we get out food pull out the top item of fries and there are ACUAL PUBES WITH ROOTS AND ALL SITTING ON TOP OF THE FRIES!!! She was RUDE to ME, I stayed NICE and I get PUBES IN THE FOOD!! Needless to say we wouldn't even touch the drinks etc. The receipt says the Hops name was ANIKA!!! Totally disgusting STAY AWAY!!! If you do dare to go....for all f&@*s sake Do NOT SAY YOUR DRINK CHOICE BEFORE YOU SAY friggin' TOTS OR FRIES!!!! But....with the way this place is ran I wouldn't recommend chancing it!!! They should be ashamed!!!!! read more

I've always been a big Sonic fan (grew up in Texas, they are a staple). This one is super nice, the food came out fast, and they have these new ordering boards that are REALLY awesome and help reduce errors in your order. I will be back! read more

I got a text message about $.79 Jr. Deluxe cheeseburgers so I decided to go to Soncic. I ordered 2 with a birthday cake shake and a small fry. When I got the receipt I drove off with my food. After I went to look at the recipt I saw they charged me 3.38 for both burgers. I'm not gonna do anything because I don't feel like making a fuss over 2 bucks but really? They lucky this milkshake is flame or I'd be on one read more

After being contacted by the Owner of the Vancouver location I found out that those little mini dogs were a special summer item, and that they come and go through the year. Sad me! But thats not the locations fault... thats on the shoulders of the Sonic HQ! We have been back to this location since then and it was just as expected. Service was friendly, and fairly quick. Parking lot always seems pretty clean and well lit. My kids enjoyed their selections, and their big shakes with candy in it! We will come back again when in the area, and in need of a Sonic fix! Thank you "Owner" (There is no name on the reply message). read more

I ordered an Oreo cheesecake master shake it sounded good in the moment but to my surprise the cheesecake at the bottom was very sour I dealt with it at first but then it got too sour to handle I shined a light in the cup and it was spoiled. read more

Ordered a bacon cheese burger on today with tots for me and a chicken strip meal with fries for my ten year old daughter. The for arrived and the first thing my daughter asked was if the fries were the medium they were very small and only half filled the container, I asked about this and they said it was the medium but they would switch them, they bright out a new container of fries which were still very small but she ate them anyway after salting them. She also mentioned the pieces of chicken were small as well (this was not a kids meal) I tipped my supposedly medium tots on to a napkin to eat them and was amazed that a medium is ten tots. I decided not too bother trying to get some more as they do not seen to change anything size wise even after complaining. I bit into the first tot and was sorely disappointed, soft on the outside even though they looked crisp and like tasteless mash on the inside. I moved onto the burger which was under seasoned, squishy and only slightly warm, by the time I got to the end of the burger it was cold. Very disappointed and we will not be returning, with so many good burger place in the area there is no reason to put up with this tasteless sludge. read more

This place was really good I'm so glad I discovered it with my friend! Will be back for sure thank you for the great food and service :) fries were cooked perfect burger was delicious and your waffleberry brownie is so good yum!! read more

Sonic Drive-In - It's a big menu I couldn't even capture all of it from this angle! - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Not what I had expected from Sonic. Fries tasted stale, had little flavor. The limeaid was great on the bright side. The cheeseburger was decent, but way overpriced. Overall I would not return to this Sonic. I was also surprised at the lack of service at this location. I ordered at the outside window kiosk and saw several guests have their orders cut off by a Sonic employee. The outside credit card reader did not work and there were no written or verbal communications that a Sonic employee would process at the table, what a great way to encourage ID theft risks. read more

Is the concept of having workers handle the money while another handles your food still a novel idea? I ordered an ice cream cone and, after seeing it fingered above the sleeve by the cashier, promptly refused the order and got my money back. read more
