    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.

    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.

    Updated review. This place is still pumping and jumping!…read more Isaiah S. was such a delight to be served by. Very knowledgeable, told me about the Newport restaurants points app, fun ways to eat the dishes and gave the best description and inside scoop on all foods. Everything was seasoned well, and hot. Our only take away was if the porkchops had something with a different texture added to it. The bread pudding w the ice cream was fantastic as well, sweet gooey goodness. This is an accessible restaurant, with a ramp, automatic doors and handicap parking. It's a shared parking lot still, but there are signs indicating where you can or can't park. Low low music. Lighting is dim, space to walk between tables, clean bathrooms.

Our server, Jenna, visited our table soon after we were seated and brought us water. We were waiting for other members of our party, and she never made us feel rushed or pressured. While waiting, we put in drink orders and the "Lavender Fields Forever" cocktail that I ordered (Rhodium Gin, lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice, snap pea simple syrup) was so delicious, and garnished with a beautiful sprig of lavender flowers. We ordered two appetizers: Point Judith Calarmari and Corn Arepas. The calamari had too many tentacles and not enough rings for me, but the arepas were excellent. The cornmeal base was crispy and hot, and there was just the right amount of meat and toppings. For entrees, our group ordered the Chimichurri Grilled Chicken sandwich, The rigatoni with pink sauce and sausage with crispy chicken as an add on, the short ribs over mashed potatoes, the Wood-Grilled Bone-In Pork Chop, and the Rib Eye Steak. We all enjoyed our entrees. It is evident that Iron Works uses high quality ingredients and puts a great amount of care into the preparation fo their food. We split three desserts amongst the five of us: The flourless chocolate torte, the cheesecake, and the Banoffee Sundae. The flourless torte was rich and very chocolately, and the cheesecake was very good as well. I'm not a fan of bananas, so I didn;t try the Sundae, but the friend who ordered it enjoyed it. After dinner, we sat and chatted for awhile,, and we never felt rushed or pressured to leave. This was a very enjoyable evening in a great restaurant environment with delicious food.

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.

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.

It was very cramped. I sat in the inside chair, in order for me to get out, my husband had to get up and move his chair totally out and around the end of the table for me to get out. The table on the other side had the chairs right up against the chairs behind it. Whatever. We got settled and looked at the menu. First item on the app menu was a bread basket. 4 rolls of bread for $8. Most places just bring bread. Ok, we aren't getting bread. Ordered drinks. I got an apple cinnamon mule. It was very tasty, but 2 sips and the drink was gone. The cup was filled to the top with ice once the drink was gone. Ordered the sirloin sandwich. Server said it's her favorite thing on the menu. I ordered the horseradish on the side because too much is overwhelming. It came smothered in horseradish. The person who brought it food placed it and was gone, so I didn't have a chance to say anything. I managed to take the steak out and wipe off the horseradish... there was soooo much. I couldn't eat the bread. By the time the server came over to ask how everything was, the rest of my party was almost done eating. I mentioned that the horseradish was supposed to be on the side and she said "oh no! It's ok though right?" I said I guess it will have to be, as she can see most of my dinner was untouched and I was eating my wiped off steak with a knife and fork. She didn't say anything else and left. No manager came by. She never came back other than to drop the check. After we ate my husband told me his ahi tuna bowl had a ton of soy sauce in the bottom and the rice was swimming in it, so he didn't finish that. We won't be returning. I have written many yelp reviews and almost all our positive. If I don't like a restaurant, I usually just don't review it. But after reading other negative reviews for this restaurant, I figured I should warn people. Had I read the reviews first, I probably wouldn't have gone. Lesson learned.
