Reviews for Sonic Drive-In in San Diego, CA
Literally sat in the drive-thru for 30 minutes no joke. When I got to the window I asked the person if there was any sort of... discount for having been trapped there for (what I thought at the time (or rather knew for certain was)) 25+ minutes (come tofind out it was 30 minutes though (31 to be precise)) and she was all like, "what? Um... I just got here..." and after justcontinuing to look at her (cause I don't care she just got there... it doesn't negate the fact we were stuck in (what should'vebeen like 10 minutes absolute tops-and even that's a stretch) for ev er for ev er for ever and for what you ask? For 4 measleymozzarella sticks... like, come on... anywhoo, after I just continued to look at her she's like, "a discount? No we don't dodiscounts..." No apology No explanation. Just wasted time and an apathetic face so I just drove off. I totally thought in allreality they should've just comped it but figured I'd pay with a discount but nope. "What? Um... I just got here..." -Employeeof Month Read more
The one taking the order doesn?t seem to pick it up right away ( she needs more training). The guy who served our food was... respectful. We were missing an order but it was solved right away. Food is ok they just need to improve their services better. Read more
I've never gone through the drive thru before and I won't do it again. It took almost 45 mins for five cars to be served and... after waiting that long we didnt even get the food we ordered. If dine in, drive in & drive thru where all open and they werehalfway to max capacity, the confusion would have at least been explainable. Read more
Second time coming to this Sonic and I?ve quickly decided I will steer clear of this location. It is extremely frustrating that... the orders I get handed do not match up to the printed and app receipts. This is a busy Sonic and the wait time is already longas it is (too long I would say). It?s a waste of my time having to wait for the correct order and it?s a waste of the employeestime to have to make the order a ?second? time when it could?ve been done right the first time. Unless this Sonic has a faultysystem when it comes to mobile orders, there needs to be at least someone who has common sense to know when items in an orderaren?t right. The first time I visited, I ordered a cheeseburger and come to find out when I got home was that there was nocheese or hamburger. Just bun and toppings. Like?..what??! Read more
This was literally the worst dining experience in my life, ha ha. I tried the app and then showed up right on time at the... location. Pulled into a stall and saw my name on the screen. Made sure it was paid for. It told me they were on the way at 5:34.At 5:48, after watching about 8 cars go through the drive thru, I called them on the phone to inquire. They said someone'sheading out with the order. 6 minutes later here come a girl rolling out with $25 worth of food stuffed into a single smallishsized bag. Drove home and found two cold, burnt dried up burgers with slimy lettuce, overly ripe tomatoes and chicken stripsthat had clearly been cooked them recooked in dirty oil, they were like breaded jerky. And two corn dogs that were eachcompletely burned on the entire end, seemed like these were re-dropped into the oil probably. I don't think that's allowed, orat least it wasn't when I worked fast food back in the day. Oh and while waiting I watched one of the workers entering in andout of the back door that was propped open with a block of something so he could move in and out freely. He kept going to theapartments nearby. It was comically horrible. If I was ever going to give them another shot I would avoid the app. But I am not,lol. *The slushy was tasty though :) Read more
Accessibility: you call call and order by phone, order on their web site and come pick up, or you can pull up in a vehicle and... order in your car! They also have seating inside if you are a dine-in kind of person. Truly they have options for all! From theparking lot to the entrance of the building it is all flat ground. Experience: this was my first time having Sonic in years andit was amazing! The food really hit the spot! Also the employee who served us was a young man, super friendly. I ordered onlineand my food was ready in 10 minutes on a Sunday. I will definitely come back to this Sonic over any others. Read more
Decided to stop here at Sonic because 1) I have not yet eaten here and 2) it was convenient. The wait at the drive thru was... long, they were definitely slow and all I ordered was a sandwich. The sandwich tasted OK, it was worth what I paid for it. Andunless you?re into fancy soda drinks this may not be the best choice. Not sure that I will be back. What can I say this was anexperience.

One of our favorite go to places when we need a late night snack or drink. The Sonic app is the best because it is always happy... hour and there are plenty of slushes and soda?s or tea to choose form. Plus they usually have some other deal going on (like 2for $5 burgers or $1 grilled cheese). Location is great, usually right next to or close enough to a freeway exit where you caneasily grab something and hit the road again. I do miss when they had their grilled chicken sandwiches with hatch chili?s butthere is plenty on the menu to choose from. One of my favorite?s is their hot fudge shake, sounds like a lot but it is actuallythick, creamy, and very light. My husband loves their tater tots and also has recently enjoyed their newer broccoli cheddar tots(literally they taste like broccoli cheddar soup in a tot form). Sonic?s burgers are always a good choice and my Dad loves theirConey Chili dogs. And of course don?t forget the cranberry lime slush (or any one of the many flavors Sonic has to offer). Lovethe drive-in concept as well, so much fun and cool to see the Staff on roller skates on occasion. They are always smiling! Read more
