This really happened!
January 14, 2022

I cannot make this up. This really happened today at Sonic # 6312 in Miami Gardens FL@ exactly 1:13pm EST with cashier Essence and General Manager Kissis (that's how she pronounced her name). This was a terrifying customer experience that I will never forget. I was wearing gloves and as I placed my order I simply asked for a fork with my fries. Essence (who rolled her eyes as me before I even spoke), screamed "what?!"

I repeated myself and asked for a fork with my fries and paid for it. She closed the window and started laughing at me with her co-workers because the window was not closed all the way. When she returned I thanked her for my order and calmly told her "I think you should know that you are being very rude." She yelled back at me "Girrrrrrrrllllll, you're rude!" She kept repeating Girrllllll over and over. I asked for the manager who came to the window and as I was trying to describe what happened Essence interrupted me and said "I'll go get my grandmother to beat you up." She said this twice. At this point, I calmly told Kissis "I don't need to continue any further, you can see for yourself how she is speaking to me." Essence replied "you look like a virus."

All of this is because I simply asked for a fork with my French fries.

When I contacted corporate they referred me back to local restaurant. When I called there Kissis remembered me. I mentioned that I felt she didnt have a sense of control of the restaurant since she let Essence call me names and threaten to do bodily harm. She hung up on me. I asked for corporate to pull the audio/video of this transaction for coaching and hopefully immediate termination for both Essence and Kissis.

Chick-Filet is and always be the gold standard for all fast food.

Horrible experience
March 18, 2025

I went to Sonic which is near my house by *******. Today 03/18 I ordered a chicken sandwich meal from Sonic. I was insulted by Sonic for being black. But the USA knows how to trick blacks into coming in there country to work for free and for low pay right?

Screaming children
March 25, 2025

I went to this drive through with my six year old for a treat we had a very simple order 1 m&m blast and one Oreo blast. This is where it went wrong first it was a good 20 mins before anyone took our order Then it want another 30 before it got to the car. This was only the first problem when the order finally arrived my daughters ice cream was missing we pressed the red button once more and told the guy he promised us a free one (even tho i had already paid for it) then 30 mins later still no blast i would give 0 stars if i could. :( :( :( this place is supposed to be fast it ate a hour and a half of my time

It seems like every time my husband and I want to just go to sonic and get a burger they can't get the order right I didn't want tomatoes come out with the tomatoes so I threw them in the parking lot. My husband also ordered a number one and it was sold indescribably made. All sonic hires are children. No supervision with these employees and we won't be going back anymore and that's the gods honest truth.
