Food - I feel like i got the short end of the stick as I ordered the bottom but got the top drizzled with BBQ sauce. service- Seems like me ordering food was an inconvenience, which is why I don't feel like bothering to address to staff, atmosphere - downtown vista vibe is always good and it's sonic, classic drive in. Over all, food came out relatively quick for the amount. It seems like chicken products always seem pushed aside.

Never been to this sonic. Will never go back. “Chicken tenders” were a joke. Overcooked shoe leather (sorry, don’t mean to insult leather). Mozzarella sticks had a chemical taste. Couldn’t eat. Total of 8 drinks and no drink holders available? Total order over $60 which was an investment to learn to never go back.

We ended up walking up to order because I parked in a stall that had no screen 🙃 🤣🤣 I really had to pee y'all...anyways, they promptly let me use the restroom and my friend had his milkshake expeditiously, 10/10 experience. This place is VERY large and everyone was served so quickly, definitely coming back in the future.

Burnt and hard buns on the burger. The first Burger was returned due to a burnt bun and then when we asked for a new one. We were forgotten about for a good 20 minutes and then we pushed the button again and they said they were not notified that they had a remake so they redid it and they brought out a second burger with a once again burnt top bun this is not the first time this Sonic has forgotten that their customers are there. This location also had one maybe two other cars so they were not busy no people sitting down so they don't have any excuse to have this poor of service. So in total besides us there were two other customers in the entire location. If you want Sonic I recommend against this one find another one.

Sonic had a clean space. The food was hot and ready quickly. Staff was helpful and friendly. What more can a customer ask for? Great team work all around!

Went at 8ish, super ghetto atmosphere. Like half the order stalls are broken, staff was obviously over burdened with their rush and forgot my online order completely. Granted the app sucks so it wouldnt even let me check in, but I pressed a stall button and let them know I was there for an online order and it took FOREVER. Finally I hit the button again and food was out in like 1 minute flat. My ice cream was already pretty soft and melty when I got the food. Place needs some TLC

Haven't been to Sonic in years thought I'd try it out tonight. I ordered a #1 cheeseburger no onion with tots and a root beer. Burger came with onion and one bite had a hard griddle in it. Root beer was clear like the syrup was off needless to say can't drink it. Also ordered a chili cheese coney. It's looks pretty sad and the chili tasted burnt and old. I worked at Sonic when I was 14 in a small town in Kansas and I remember it tasting so much better then this. Disappointed :(

Just out of prison after 28 years. Couldn't wait to go to a sonic for straw. Cheesecake shake at vista location. Sadly, shake machine was out of service. Will try again though. So, I went back on 6/28/23 to try again. This time I got the straw. cheesecake shake and onion rings. BOTH were excellent. With the rings, they included ranch dressing and catsup, AND three mint candies for my palette. The patio was clean, tables shaded with umbrellas and was so nice to relax and eat. Waitress was very polite and helpful. They bring your food to you at your outside table! I loved that. Thank you. I'll be back again soon. I rode my bicycle 4 miles just to eat there. Definitely worth the ride and the wait for the shake!
