First, you can't use gift cards on their app apparently. Second, the stalls are so close it's impossible to get out. They sacrificed safety and access for customers and employees alike to shove in an extra spot. Third, they don't give you all the food you order, consistently, and what they give you is either burnt or undercooked. Tonight, we ordered two 5 piece chicken and one 3 piece chicken. Only 1 had an onion ring and that one had a piece of chicken that looked like it was torn apart. One of the 5 pieces had a piece of chicken so small it looks like two tater tots rather than a piece of chicken. This is ridiculous. Don't waste your money! The one thing they get right is the drinks and corn dogs. Anything else is a gamble at best.

Not finding hair in the food is the bare minimum, and you couldn’t even give me that. There’s only one Sonic in the area and so we have to drive 15 minutes there and 15 minutes to go home. I discovered this lovely gift after getting home. Thanks Sonic. I don’t understand how the workers get paid above minimum wage AND make tips and this is what we’re getting? Waste of my time and money, which means a lot in this day and age. Also the wait is usually quite long which isn’t a problem but that’s an issue for some.

Worst food and service ever. Spoke to the supposed district manager who proceeded to talk over me and tell me how she was home at with her family and took the time to call me. Very condescending and rude. Order was wrong, food spilled out in the bag. They did offer to replace food but after that experience doubt I will ever go back. Everytime I tried to speak she cut me off. I didn't order a plain sandwich and it was suppose to be grilled.

Customer service was great, food was not so great. Fries were cold and stale. Made me wonder if they gave me scraps that had been sitting in the bin for hours. Drinks were pure watered carbonation vs a root beer and coke. One bad I could understand, but both? Sandwiches were messed up, I ordered no cheese on one sandwich and there was cheese on both sandwiches. I've been to other locations and I have to say this one was the oddball worst experience I've ever had. The tots were the only thing that were halfway decent. I won't mention the cleanliness of the inside area and the other employees. Again, the window attended was clean, professional and courtesy, but who ever made the food and the work environment that you could clearly see through the drive through window, corporate or the health department, needs to do an emergency visit...

I don't think Ive ever gone to the Pekin Sonic and have received my correct order... Im always in the drive thru and trying to get food quickly while on my lunch break, I was check the bag to make sure the correct items are in there but when I get back to work the burgers are always wrong.. Today I ordered a #2 Super Sonic Burger with no Mayo and no lettuce.. the wrapper had a sticker that said NO MAYO.. open wrapper and mayo is oozing out the side of the burger.. SERIOUSLY?!?!?! I always have to repeat my order, I don't know if the girl can not hear me or that she doesn't know what shes doing. Very frustrating because I do enjoy Sonic food. I believe the burgers are the best burger ive ever had when theyre made the way I order them... also for a good price. Wish the pekin location could get some better employees, that pay attention...

I placed an order through the drive thru at the Pekin Sonic Drive-In during a really busy lunch rush. The young man that took my order was a trainee.I received the total at the speaker and pulled ahead as directed. Upon reflection I did the math and it seemed high. When I got to the window I asked the young lady to tell me what she had on the order. It was missing an item and had a meal on it that I hadn't ordered. Without being put out in the least she apologized and made sure the mistake was corrected very quickly and with a fantastic attitude. I could see the smile in her eyes if not the one on her face due to the mask she wore (stupid covid). I commend Sonic for having a great employee who quickly made it right and did so...
