First off, I'd just like to say that the location is kind of a nightmare. The drive-thru setup is…read morepretty confusing. It's a really tiny little trailer, so I understand they're working with limited space, but having cars loop around in what feels like a figure-eight can be chaotic. People get impatient, start honking, and it's easy to accidentally cut someone off without realizing it. They're just burgers, people--everyone needs to relax a little! That said, despite how busy it was, the line moved surprisingly fast. I ordered a double cheeseburger with everything, a side of onion rings, and a black raspberry shake. The shake was fantastic--definitely a highlight of the meal. The burger was also really good: flavorful, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. The only disappointment was the onion rings. They were incredibly greasy--so much so that they actually upset my stomach. I'm not sure if that's typical, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Next time I'd give the fries a try instead. One thing that really stood out was the pricing. It's refreshing to find a place that still offers fair prices when it feels like everything else costs an arm and a leg these days. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The burger and shake were worth it, and as long as I skip the onion rings, I think it'll be a solid meal.

There was a time when this location struggled, but you can clearly see the effort they've been putting in to turn things around. The changes over the past few months have been noticeable, and it's all thanks to the new managers and staff who are working hard to make the experience better for everyone. The new team at the front is incredibly understanding, patient, and genuinely great listeners. They treat customers with respect and make you feel heard, which wasn't always the case before. You can tell they care about doing their jobs well and creating a better environment. And the kitchen staff deserves a huge shoutout too. They are seriously some of the hardest workers in the building. They keep things moving, handle the pressure, and still manage to get orders out quickly and correctly. Their effort does not go unnoticed -- customers really do appreciate them. The managers are also trying their best, and it shows. They're more involved, more supportive, and clearly committed to improving the store. You can feel the difference in the atmosphere, the service, and the overall experience. This location has come a long way, and it's becoming a place people actually enjoy coming back to. Big thanks to the whole team for the work they're putting in. The food has also been consistently good lately. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and made with care, which really shows how much effort the kitchen team is putting in. You can tell they're working hard behind the scenes to keep orders moving and make sure customers get quality meals. Their work makes a huge difference, and it's truly appreciated.

Updated Review: TLDR: Price/Reasonable, Service/ Spotty,…read moreFood/Improved, Verdict/Decent Late Night Option As far as their price per item is concerned, it has not changed much overtime. They have been consistent with varying levels of what I like to call the "Taco Tuesday Mentality," which, in no uncertain terms, is a marketing gimmick put on by an establishment in which they sell one menu item at drastically low cost to entice you to go there, hoping you will buy other, higher priced things. I think it is still Corn dogs, but I could be wrong... While their drink menu is second to none, the food is sometimes hit or miss. I have found after continuing to be a patron in the late evening (when almost all other fast food is closed) that fried food and basic options tend to be the best. The cheeseburgers are still lack luster but it is clear that whoever has been managing the clean up crew is doing g a way better job of maintaining their deep fryers and as such the consistency add quality has been improving over time. The service is generally slow, and even though it makes sense because of the variety and specificity you can give to your orders (which they are pretty consistent at getting right) , I still wish it wouldn't take 15 minutes to get though the drive through line to pay. Depending on the day and time, it has been MUCH longer. All that aside, I feel that the night crew's customer Service has improved in the last year and it seems they no longer try to pass off food that should have been distressed (I.e. hotdogs way past their prime) to their drive though customers anymore. Overall, Sonic is a good late night option, and also a decent happy hour drink stop. I wouldn't choose them before 9 pm as a dinner option because there are just better choices. However, if beverage variety and fried food are what you are craving, then by all means, look no further. Older Reviews below ---------------------------------------------------- Still not the best drive through restaurant on Meridian but honestly, they have gotten less efficient and also less courteous over the year that I have been patronizing them. The last time I went there as it has been for the entire time I have lived here, the little screen where you can see your order was still broken, and it would have been nice to know that they either didn't hear me or heard me wrong. Effie I waited for my order and then it was incorrect, but not according to them. It is just not that great of a place. If you want subpar fried food and possibly poorly cooked and definitely poorly assembled burgers and dogs, this might be okay for you, otherwise look elsewhere. ------------------old review below------------------ Not the best, but not the worst. Drive through was quick and they are open late. The customized my hotdogs and it was no problem. The drive through cashier was quick and efficient. All in all a very decent drive through experience. As far as options, they have got quite a few. They took a while, after we paid, to get our food to us, but the order was perfect down to the utensils included because the dogs were low carb style. I haven't frequented this restaurant before but I might start now because they were so great with my custom order.

Decided to give this one a second chance as the first time was meh. We pulled in, there was no one in the drive through and one other car in a stall. That's it. So we push the button. Nothing happens. We wait, 3min still waiting. So I push the button again. Still waiting and now we are at 7min. So I hit the button again and I hear "I heard you the first time stop pushing the button". Not what I expected to hear as always it's "Welcome to Sonic how can I help you". So we order. Remember only 2 cars in the whole place and they left after we ordered. It was a normal 3 burgers, tots, chicken strip things, 4 drinks. Simple but I guess I when you are not too busy a single order can really mess up your day. We waited, and waited and after 15min. I again hit the button. "What!" Was what I heard. And when I asked if there was any chance of getting our food soon I got dead silence. About 5min. later out comes the runner. They hand us the drinks and bags of food and spin and take off. Not "do you need anything else etc..." just gone. We check the food, it was missing 2 tots and the burgers were stone cold. Kinda hard to believe because it took so long I would have thought they had butchered the cow and made fresh burger patties and cooked them on the spot. NOPE! These looked like a day old hockey puck. Slathered in what ever they put on to hide the fact these were not fresh cooked. I again hit the button (I guess I have a death wish), I got "Now what?" I said the food is cold and we are missing 2 tots. The response I got was amazing "Everything was in the bags when we sent it out, it was all hot and fresh", so I asked can you please refire the order and bring out fresh please? That's where I guess I was asking way too much and they said "It was all there hot and fresh and they were not going to do that because they know we are trying to get free food" Let me tell you, if you know anything about Sonic, they will remake the order and you give them back the bad food. Good policy to avoid getting scammed. Needless to say I dumped all the food in the trash and we headed down the street to eat and another place with better service and food. I will not and would not recommend this location as there are far better Sonic's around.

You order at the counter, and pick your food up. There is an array of pretty decent dipping sauces that you can get really lost in. Ambiance wise, it is a good place to gather with friends.

My husband ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich with Cajun fries again, and I went with the blackened chicken sandwich, this time with fries instead of coleslaw. Just like last time, the food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The chicken sandwiches here are consistently good, and the fries were great as well. We mainly stopped in this time because my husband was craving custard, and it definitely delivered. I ordered one of their loaded custard creations with multiple mix-ins (I can't remember the exact name), and it was delicious. The only thing I'd note is that it's very rich and sweet, and the portion is pretty big. I couldn't finish mine, so it's probably something that would be perfect for sharing. The restaurant itself still has the same casual, upbeat atmosphere as my previous visit, and the food quality seems very consistent. My only lingering note from my first review still applies a bit -- it can get pricey for what you get -- but the food and custard are definitely good if you're in the mood for it. Overall, still a great spot for chicken sandwiches and custard, and we'd happily come back again.

My family and I came in Sunday evening for dinner. While dining we happened to over hear a very loud argument behind the counter. I find this very unprofessional for that manager to be yelling at her employee so loud as to disturb the paying customers in the restaurant. There is a time and place for these types of discussions but when you have a dining room full of customers it is not the right time or place. If this is a sign of how the restaurant is ran this is the last time we will be setting foot in your establishment. read more

From the moment you step inside, the warm ambiance and welcoming service set the stage for an exceptional dining experience that feels both refined and comfortingly authentic.

The richness and depth of the ingredients harmonize beautifully, creating a dish that is both satisfying and memorable. It is evident that great attention has been paid to achieving a bold yet nuanced flavor profile that elevates these tacos well above the ordinary. While the salsa accompaniment may not quite reach the same heights as the rest of the meal--offering a more subdued and less dynamic flavor--it remains a minor note in an otherwise outstanding experience. In truth, the tacos themselves shine so brightly that this small shortcoming is easily overlooked.
