    Double SONIC® Smasher

    Do not order burgers from this location they never get them right! They also look horribly unappealing!!

    Kassana is a great worker. She was very good and understood our very confusing order.

    Lil chicken sandwich

    Best vanilla shake of any fast food joint in my opinion. My husband ate and said the chicken sandwich was the star. When we pulled up and they saw we had our dog they offered to make her a complimentary doggie sundae. Fast service through the drive through.

    My first visit to a Sonic was, to say the least, interesting ... buckle up, kids, this is gonna be a fairly long review. For those of you who just want the executive summary, the food and service mostly exceeded my expectations, but the atmosphere was what I'd imagine visiting a carnival while tripping on acid would be like. For those of you who are wondering what I mean by that comparison, well, you'll just have to read on and let me 'splain. So, Sonic is fast food, but they give you three options for ordering: you can go inside and order at a counter; go through the drive-through; or park at an ordering kiosk, and a carhop on roller skates or Rollerblades will bring your food out. The parking lot is the epitome of chaos; seriously, they need ground traffic controllers, like the kind you see on aircraft carriers, wielding glow sticks. There are all kinds of lanes and arrows going on, and it's difficult to park in this cramped afterthought that they plopped onto an already-dizzying commercial strip that some people affectionately nickname "Bald Hell Road". I chose to go inside to order, and it was honestly the most awkward experience I have ever had ordering fast food. First off, the counter is very small. A couple with two small kids was ahead of me. They took up the whole counter, so that I couldn't tell that one of the two cashiers was waiting for me to step up. When I finally stepped up to order, I was in a very precarious position, having to dodge waiters and waitresses whizzing by on Rollerblades to my right, and squirmy kids to my left (their dad lassoed the boy by the hood of his coat). One of the waiters on skates tried to show off with a pirouette, but stumbled and nearly fell. Eventually, I got through the ordering process, and was handed a pedestal with my order number. I sat at the closest booth to wait and OWWWW! Big mistake!! I jarred my spine so much it hurt! I just assumed the booths were padded, so I plopped down, but they were hard, solid wood! Actually, the dining room was cold (literally and figuratively) and industrial looking. There were about a dozen booths and a few tables, but it was so sterile, it was uninviting (the bathroom was clean, though). As cold as the atmosphere was, though, the service was very friendly and attentive. They had a greeter to answer any questions, and a man who appeared to be a manager asked if I needed anything. The young man who brought my food out was polite and accommodating. I got the food to go, so I could bring it home to my wife (she was the one who started this whole thing - she got a craving for Sonic after watching an episode of the series, The Simple Life, in which Paris Hilton worked at a Sonic). She ordered a bacon cheeseburger on Texas toast, with a strawberry root beer. I got a double cheeseburger, with a frozen limeade. We also shared an Oreo Sonic Blast. The strawberry root beer was amazing, as was the Oreo Sonic Blast. Even my cheeseburger exceeded expectations. I was expecting something on par with a Wendy's double with cheese, but it tasted way better than Wendy's or McDonald's. It was even better than some Five Guys burgers I've had. My wife enjoyed her bacon cheeseburger also, although next time she'd probably order her burger on a bun instead of toast, because the toast was a bit soggy. The shoestring fries tasted fine, albeit, they were a bit soggy as well. My wife tried to get me to download the Sonic app on my phone, because you get some good deals, but I'm not as smartphone savvy as her. But even paying full price, the food was reasonably priced (about $23 total). Next time, though, I'll probably use the drive-through and skip the carnival inside. Perhaps the best part of this visit was that the drinks I put in the bed of my pickup truck as I drove home like an old lady (I wanted to keep the drinks cold, since I had the heater on full blast to keep the food warm) didn't tip over and spill. Try 'splainin' that to wifey. Hey, I like to live dangerously.

I got the Big Ol' Burger and it was so good. Cooked perfectly, the special sauce was delicious and as you can probably tell from the photo, the fries were exactly what I was looking for. Everything tastes really fresh here. It has that farm-to-table quality, but in a relaxed, laid-back (but still really pretty) setting. We came for lunch and I loved that they had brunch options too. We didn't get any adult beverages but I was very tempted by the entire drink menu, so next time! Our service was also outstanding. Really everything was A+. Definitely a local spot that I need to remember to go to more often.

She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

I visited this location in the past and was not impressed. Today was a different experience, came in during the buy one get one offer. The pricing has gone up so much. The prices have increased and the size of the items have decreased. The shake for example. Between the cup being filled and the extra. Seemed like it was anywhere between 12-16 oz's. The size of the burger also looks a little slimmer. Had a bacon cheeseburger as pictured, bacon was not good quality. The food was delicious with the offer. Not sure about dropping $40 on burgers without a beer offer. The fries were nice and crispy, but again the order seemed a little smaller than before. It's a hit or miss. If you're in the area give it a try. But I would not go out of my way. The service was definitely an attentive improvement and friendly. I would say visit with the kids during family night.

I remember 5 - 10 years ago there weren't that many, so when you saw one you didn't mind that there was a 20 minute line to order. Now, they seem to be all over the place and the old school quality control just isn't there. At one time, I'd have put Shake Shack ahead of In n Out burger in terms of the actual taste. Perfectly caramelized, browned smash patties seasoned nicely giving them a crunchy but juicy salty pop. Now ... Maybe 1 out of every 4 burgers I get here is good. The rest are a greasy mess. All you can taste is the drippy grease which saturates the bottom bun and oozes from the patties. After 3 bites, your stomach starts to do somersaults and you feel full and gross. No more can you taste the seasoning or salty special burger sauce ... it's just nasty grease. Fries are consistently average here. It's hard to fuck up bagged crinkle fries ... but the fries are as much as most burgers elsewhere and pretty unremarkable. (In fairness, In n Out has this issue as well, despite being fresher.) The Shakes here are pretty rough compared to Chic Filet next door. It's a sugary milk shake which also makes your stomach do cartwheels. If the line wasn't so long at Chic Filet, I'd go there for their amazing milk shakes. For $7-$8 fucking bucks at Shake Shack, a milk shake is way overpriced and not great. Overall, it's no mystery why, even during peak times, this place has no line at all while Chic Filet's line stretches around the store. I can honestly say this is the worst Shake Shack I've been to from a quality control aspect. It's just never consistent and they have about a 25% track record at making a good burger. All other times, it's a greasy mess with no taste.

    I want to start this off by saying that we love Shake Shack in general and usually really enjoy the…read morefood and experience. Unfortunately, this location seems to have mostly very young employees working without enough visible management or supervision, and it really impacts the customer experience. This is the second time we've waited an unreasonable amount of time for something simple that we already ordered and paid for, this time being a side of Shake Sauce. We stood at the front waiting because there was no employee anywhere to be seen, and the few employees who were around completely ignored us. There was also a pregnant woman standing there waiting 5 to 10 minutes just to be acknowledged because items from her order were missing as well. If no one is going to consistently stay at the front, the restaurant should at least have a bell, buzzer, or some system so customers are not left standing there wondering what to do. What's most frustrating is that these were issues that should have been handled correctly from the beginning, and when employees finally did help, the attitude and facial expressions were unprofessional and unwelcoming. The food is still good, which is why this is disappointing. This location seems like it would really benefit from stronger management presence, better customer service training, and experienced managers who can properly guide and support newer or younger employees.
