I honestly do not know how this sonic is still operating. Like other reviewers, I think I was just hopeful that maybe the service and food would eventually get better but somehow they just keep getting worse. I’ve learned my lesson though and I will not be returning after my husband‘s visit there last night, he went to just go grab some quick munchies which included a cheeseburger a big sonic blast and a slushy. I kid you not, the slushy lid said “do not use” on it in yellow permanent marker that someone from their Establishment obviously wrote on (which we did not see initially) and are now incredibly grossed out as to why the lid could’ve possibly said that. The sonic blast is super super gritty and of course even though you now pay an arm and a leg for these things, don’t expect them to actually mix them anymore at all, you literally have to be prepared to go home and mix it yourself even though they have a machine for that very purpose. The hamburger was cold and the slushy had almost no flavor to it. Bad review after bad review I wish we would’ve learned our lesson earlier and not spent another dollar here. Blow up the picture to see the writing 🤢

I have patronized many Sonics in my years on this planet and this one is by far the most continuously disappointing location I’ve ever visited. The screens are always on the fritz so going through the drive thru is preferred. There often seems to only be 1-2 people working therefore everything is slow. There is without fail something wrong with our order and we have to wave down an employee for correction. When the order is corrected it’s almost always below standard. Fries are fried to a crisp, pretzel is hard as a rock, Blasts are not mixed past the first inch of ice cream, etc. At night there often seems to be the same ONE guy working who is often taking orders, making food, AND sweeping/cleaning. We only ever return because it’s the only Sonic within miles and sometimes you want ice cream. I wish Dairy Queen wasn’t 15 minutes away…

I visited the Yorktown, VA Sonic at 6:15pm 10/16/2021. I live about 5 minutes away. Service was horrible!!!!! I ordered a #1 Sonic Burger. The burger looks like it has been sitting there all day and sloppily put together. I ordered 3 kids meals and they were all SHOVED into the bag with my meal without a toy. The fries looked old. I am a former manager of Wendy’s and Subway… this is unacceptable for Sonic!!! I am now a nurse. Sonic… your company needs to revamp! This isn’t the first time but it will be the last!

*update: the reply from the owner is just a form letter that redirects to a corporate file a complaint about a meal website that requires you to prove they are terrible. Another example of these folks missing the point.

Last 2 visits to this location have been very disappointing. Previous visit the items were not well made and were sloppy. This last visit I cancelled and asked for a refund. I ordered 4 small ice creams, paid, and after a few minutes I was asked to pull up to wait. I did not order any specialty food items, just 4 small ice creams. I watched as the car behind me received a food order and a large something with whipped cream, a door dash person pick up an order, and then a second car behind me got a food order and a cup with whipped cream. I parked and walked to the door, requesting a refund, when asked why I explained I had watched two other customers get their orders, while I waited. The response was “well you had 4, they only had 1 each”.

If I were the franchise owner I would consider either working on training or closing up shop.

The response "from the owner" is just a bot response, directing you to a form letter. After completing the form, I got a request for another form. Thanks...

If I could rate this place one star, I would! The drive through worker tonight was extremely snappy and rude, and kept giving my friends and I attitude when we had a question. She then told us we overplayed and gave us a dollar back, and proceeded to change her mind and take it back. We payed her $18 for 4 mini blasts, which would normally be $16. We got only 62 cents back, and she acted nervous when we asked to see the receipt. She told us that the total looked weird because she “split the receipt four ways.” We knew this wasn’t true because when we asked her to split the total at the speaker she told us that she would have to start all over and said, “pay for it all” to my friend. My friend continued to apologize and listen to this obnoxious worker disrespect her. She took two dollars from us and it is blatant on our receipt. The total jumped from $16 to $18 minus tax. We were too nervous to say anything, so we drove away. As someone who has waitresses before and worked in costumer service, I’m so confused as to why she would act that way towards a costumer and then proceed to steal. I will be telling everyone we know about this and never coming back here again....
