Food wasn't that great. Service was excellent. Only one server for multiple customers and he handled the task well. Ate outside with family but was not well kept outside.

Ordered a simple coney dog and they didn’t even put any chili, tried calling the stor for over an hour because I live far, no answer at all. And the workers were pretty rude when I ordered. How hard is it to make a chili dog?

So I haven't reviewed any place in a while. As I drove to my daughters house I felt a little hungry today. I passed all the usual burger haunts, in-n-out, jack in the box, McDonald's. But I stopped today at Sonic in Merced. Not a stand out place or location but it certainly caught my eye. Love the carhop vibe, even this I didn't use it. A nice touch of old school drive ins. Went to the drive thru. I perused the menu, not complicated, adequate amount of choices, and landed on the SuperSonic Bacon Double Cheese Burger. I don't profess to be a connoisseur of hamburgers, but I do believe it is the perfect meal that hits all the food groups in one bite. I ordered the SSBDCB side fries and a Coke Zero. Handed to me in a little brown lunch bag, by a lovely young lady at the drive through window. (Tater tots was an option I didn't take, in retrospect, perhaps I should have. Next time, and there will be a next time.)The SSBDCB sat next to me in the passenger's seat as I drove to the house sipping my coke and listening to smooth jazz. I arrived, gathered my belongings, suitcase, road trip rubbish, and THE BAG. Got in the house, spoke for a little while with my daughter and sat in an easy chair with tv tray to eat the burger. Wrapped in a foil wrapper with Sonic branding, I opened the SSBDCB and to my amazement it looked exactly like the picture on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised. My SSBDCB, was literally picture perfect. I should have taken a photo, but I was amazed and stunned a little. I've eaten a shit ton of burgers from fast food joints in my 66 years, and never have a seen one constructed so perfectly. In-n-out does a good job in construction, and I come to expect it from them. Not from Sonic, never from Mickey Ds or BK or any other burger joint. I hoped and I prayed, will my SSBDCB taste as good as it looks? Will it?First bite, divine. Second, yummy. Bacon cheese two pattys. Perfection.I could go on and on, but I'm not. I'm going back, order another one and hope for the same level of beauty as this one. I'll update.

Horrible customer service. I couldn't tell you if the food is any good here because after placing a mobile order for a pretzel and a small soda I ended up waiting for over 30 minutes after my estimated time. I got frustrated with waiting so I asked for a refund and was COMPLETELY IGNORED by the staff for another 10 minutes. I even called on the telephone after I left to ask if could just get my money back and they just let it ring off the hook. I went to call the next day but checked my bank first and the charge was reversed which leads me to believe they were aware of their total disregard for customer service.... Let me just add that the parking lot and dining area is utterly disgusting. Steer clear!

Great milkshake but the fries were not fresh they were extremely soggy. I ate in my car so they didn’t get soggy from the drive home, they were blah right when given to me.

Samantha Marin

Ordered a Route 44 cherry lime aid. Drank the hole thing. Opens up the lid to eat some ice. Found dead fly sitting on top of the lime. Super grossed out absolutely disgusting.

All the girls who work here need to drop the attitude lol I get you work fast food but doesn’t mean you have to have a negative attitude on top of it

Stopped in for a sonic blast dessert through the drive thru. Butterfield and a reeses blast. Really good. They were able to make an adjustment due to an allergy my daughter has, so that she could have dessert too! They were really busy, but even then service was fast and friendly. Would recommend stopping here.

I just got the number 10 which is the ultimate chicken sandwich soda and fries. On the picture for the chicken sandwich shows a piece of chicken as thick as the bun but it turns out that it would have took 5 chickens to add up to the size of a bun. It was actually the opposite of ultimate. I would call this meal the number two because it was like shitt. It is almost the same size as a McChicken sandwich that cost a $1.49 and I just paid $8 for this worthless meal and now I'm still hungry. And now I barely have any money and we'll starve the rest of the day. Thanks Sonic for nothing...Update June 28th 2023 just got a slushie and the slushies are really good. I drank it slow and had flavor almost to the end.
