"I don’t care about reviewing the food quality, it’s fast food that none of us should really be eating anyway. My review is about the service. I’ve never ever once been given less than 5 maybe 10 star service. Never once. I’m going to give kudos to the manager and their team. The manager or owner must be a good one because every single employee there is top tier. I visit almost daily for my Coke Zero or ice tea and never had bad service once."

"Very cool drive in and dinning experience to say the least. Got a chilly dog 6 inches but it was not great. 7 11 is better. I think their winnies can be better if they bought bigger sausages and added more chilly and cheese. I enjoyed the number 1 cheese burger and the blended Lemonade with cherry add on. I think I would come back for their milkshakes and drinks and maybe re think about trying out their food menu. Not sure if they had a bathroom because it was a quick pit stop. I really enjoyed their bannana milkshake."

"The Diet Limeade is one of my favorite things to drink. I love the crushed ice and if you get the Route 44 size you can sip on it for hours. It is really refreshing on a hot summer day in Arizona. I also like the tater tots for a change. Especially when they are fried in fresh oil. They are ecen better when you get the chili and cheese tots."

"The carhops here are always super friendly! There are a few spots on the west side, specifically for food delivery drivers and online orders, but any can be used. I do recommend you check your order for accuracy before you leave, though. A few times, they have forgotten SOMETHING (a wrap, chicken nuggets, etc.)."

"I can't stand when drivers don't pull up to the stop sign in the Drive-Thru for the CarHop to deliver their food to them they always pull up parallel to the door when the stop sign is clearly in front of them signals them to stop there to keep the line moving to keep the orders coming in and getting filled but that's just a pet peeve of mine Sonic is giving out of the way they die onions the burgers are good especially a triple melt cheeseburger they're one of the few Burger chains that adds mustard without request. I can't go wrong. Eating area at Sonic's is always clean the employees are always very polite and professional and usually upbeat."
