Sonic Beach Lauderhill

Went there for lunch and figured I’d bring my dog, was planning on sitting outside, after placing my order I get her out of car and head to the area they call the beach only to see sign on door saying no dogs outside unless service dogs. Bummer. It’s outside, who cares. Not dog friendly!!!

Lunch rush from 1 to 3 this has to be the longest standstill in a Drive-​Thru for me just Beware of the lunchtime Rush even though the food is fantastic you’ll be waiting. And to go inside is just as long. But if you wanted to wait go for it.

Food is always tasty. Such a cool place but horrible service. Terrible every time we eat inside. A month ago We stood in front of the counter and sign to the right of the door for 15 mins. Finally I asked the bartender of anyone is working the counter and she said «you don’t order there anymore» .I thought, well, ok. you saw us standing there waiting for a long time. Couldn’t she have said something? My next visit I went to the bar and ordered the pretzel dog, chicken sandwiches and a few sides and slushies. I get my order home and I had a reg dog with mustard and my chicken wasn’t on Ciabatta bun. I drove back and she said, «we ran out of pretzel and ciabatta» Well, couldn’t you have told me” I still paid the pretzel price!!! I didn’t complain nor bother for the price difference. just ate what we were given.
LAST week, took my daughter to the bar to order Fish sandwhich, onion rings and a slushes. Sat at the table and she brought everything but the slushes. Had to ask for it two more times after that. Meanwhile, the table that came in about 10 mins after us had 3 slushes with there order way before us.
Right now we were smart and stayed in the car. lol Finally got my pretzel dog! If it wasn’t so convenient and yummy we definitely wouldn’t bother.

Terrible service. Almost everyone came back complaining they got their order wrong. It took forever for us to get our food and then we didn’t even get our complete order. All the workers were in the back arguing and only was in the front. Half of the tables were dirty and all of the trash cans were overflowing. Miserable. The food was even cold in the end!

Iove the drinks… esp the prices during happy hour. Our server «Thomas» was very patient and respectful. I wished sonic allowed us to tip with our cards. You can only tip the servers with cash which is dumb bc not alot of ppl carry cash these days.

Food is okay, Wendys has a better tasting patty if fast food burgers are your thing. My daughter wanted to hang out and eat out with her friend. They picked sonic so I endured it. The chili cheese tots helped me through. I definitely would not come here on my own. Only employee working the dining room has the tv way too loud and we are the only diners. There drive through is busy.

Gross don’t waste your time or money
We ordered $ 30 worth of food and everything was greasy, cold and flavorless.

Ugh. The food here is the kind of swill I wouldn’t even feed to my dog. Highly processed garbage that most likely comes from a bag. I even think they may fry glasses of water here. Getting past the piss poor excuse for food, the main attraction here would be there slushes or freezes which are icy, sugary concoctions that I really only find myself drinking if I feel like I am melting and need something freezing cold, now! Other than that, I could easily pass by this joint and go get a smoothie or a drink with ice in it elsewhere. Crappy stuff here folks.

Not the best food but if your drunk and no where else is open then hey lol. Food is really greasy and also the onion rings are sweet like they use the same oil that they fry there desserts in.

The absolute worst… this is my second try… once after it had just opened… and today, probably two years later? The pretzel bread was not only too thick, it was stale… the bacon (if you’d call it that) was broken into pieces and laid atop the hot dog… the cheese sauce was minimal… the «Handmade» onion rings couldn’t possibly be… they were small, tough and the breaking was flavorless… I ordered at the car hop kiosk, which turned out to be the only good thing here… order was correct and came out quickly… I kind of wished they had taken their time to make the food better! My last time… I yearn for the Stewart’s or A&W drive in restaurants of my youth… this is not it!!!

I was happy that they were open on a holiday but that happiness was ruined when I actually got my food. Our burgers were ice cold, not sitting out and not hot anymore cold but as if they had just come out of a refrigerator cold. My tots were undercooked and our onion rings were also undercooked. Terrible waste of money. The staff was completely lazy and careless and took zero pride in their work.

I hate you guys. Why do you have to make your milk shakes so thick? They’re so hard to drink and you can’t enjoy them with your meal. I got a pretty good neck workout trying to suck it. I decided to get a hot dog this time to mix it up from the boring ass burgers. The hot dogs are tiny and really not that great. The only hot dogs worth getting were the cheesy bread dogs but they don’t have those on the menu anymore. The quality of the food is equivalent to school cafeteria food especially the tater tots. I was half expecting Napoleon Dynamite to come out and put them in his pocket. I used to like going to Sonic when I was on a road trip to the middle of Florida but it seems now that they have sonics down here in south Florida the quality also went down.

Shocklingly nice fast food restaurant. Very clean lines décor. Staff is crazy nice, especially N’Lisha (sp?). Got us everything we asked for and always had a smile. Hope her bosses are recognizing here. Then a darn good burger and a delicious coconut cream pie shake (yeah, today was a ‘cheat day’)…yeah, right.
Recommend!

Fun place. Great service. Workers really seem to enjoy what they are doing. And where can you find anyone on roller skates anymore? As far as the food goes, the cheesesteak was awful. Chocolate shake was marginal. I just expected more.

I’m already a huge Sonic fan but this location is especially nice. Its on my way to school and I was so excited to find it since there are no Sonics in my area. The employees here are extremely friendly, I forget I’m in a fast food place. The food is always fresh. I’ve been here a few times and I have a great experience every time. Keep it up guys!

I was so happy to see something new in the area when this location opened. They’re right next to a Chick-​fil-​A and actually share a parking lot with them, so I thought that might hurt business for both places. But after being open now for a while and the novelty has worn off for people, the place has become more of a later night hang out. Going during the «dinner» rush (6ish) it isn’t very busy. You’ll see more of a crowd at Chick-​fil-​A instead. But going after 8 the place is a pretty happening place. I’m guessing it’s because Sonic is open until 2am and serves beer and wine along with a the usual food and drink offerings.
I’ve had most food on the menu, and I haven’t been disappointed with anything. There are actually more menu items available than what’s pictured on the menu, so if you don’t see something you like, just look up the menu on your smartphone for Sonic, and they pretty much offer everything on that menu. My favorite is the popcorn chicken so I get that most of the time. They just started offering sweet potato tots and while I love pretty much anything sweet potato, I prefer the regular tots with my meal. Drink wise, there is a huge variety of slushies, limeades, shakes, and regular soda. Since you can mix flavor combinations there are endless possibilities.
This is a place to try if you’re looking for something that’s quick with a variety of food offerings and isn’t that expensive.

Love the price and the food if you know what you’re ordering. I love their mini shakes which are the perfect size and the perfect price. Also, I loved the hot dogs-​all of the offerings were delicious and considering the price, they were a steal
Not so great, the chicken tenders. There was a weird taste to it. Maybe I just got it on a bad day, but I wasn’t crazy about them.
I’ll add as I continue to try their food.

Location is all wrong for a Sonic due to lack of parking & they’re jammed up next to Chick-​Fil-​a. The beach theme is all wrong for the neighborhood. Best thing on their menu so far are drinks such as slushies, limeades & deserts.
I ordered the super sonic cheeseburger and it was cold although place was packed which I didn’t notice until after I left and didn’t want to return due to lines. I expected a nice hot juicy burger like I get from most Sonics I’ve visited but there goes my expectations. I also had a cranberry lime slush and that was quite refreshing as well as my sisters cherry limeade. The Oreo sonic blast we had for desert was delish.
Overall I would visit again after the newness of it has worn off too see if food got better but right now it’s 3 stars because of slush and blast desert.

The 2^nd best Chicago dog I have ever had!
(The best is in Colorado Springs at Margo’s located on the way to Manitou Springs.) And I have had a lot of Chicago dogs as I traveled all across the US for 5 years!
It is rare to get a Chicago dog as good as this one was. My only suggestion is to put a green relish on the hot dogs that is a little less sweet.
The chile cheese dog was OK but it needed more chile and more bite in the chile. The cheese was generous.

This location has 2 location names here on Unilocal and they should be merged so I am posting my review here too …
Finally a Sonics near where I live but not totally impressed as of yet I am not sure if they just need to settle into their new location or what, but as of now they have a few issues they need to work out such as they have a friendly greeter as you walk in and she tells you that you can order at the bar or walk to your right to the cashier and place your order with them and then find a table. When you look around there are no menus accept a little threefold brochure taped to the cash register. Why not have that friendly greeter hand the customers a menu as they walk in since they forgot to install a sign on one of your walls or even better yet use one of e five flat screen T.V.s as a digital menu.
After you place your order and sit down you are to listen as one of the servers skates around and screams your name over the music and all the people talking in the small confines of the dining area. I for the life of me can’t figure out why would you have a half dozen servers on roller skates with trays of food in a very tight areas with lots of people and tables placed quite close to each other?
As for the food I had a Chicago style hot dog which was pretty good a pc they use the wrong type of relish but if your not from the Windy City you probably won’t even notice. I also ordered a burger and it was cold, if the cheese doesn’t even come close to starting to melt in a wrapped burger it simply means it was put together while it was already cold.
At least I can say the entire staff is friendly and asks you if there is anything else they can get for you more then once.
On a good note order the peach cream slush it is the most bestest !
I guess I will give them a second try in a few weeks and see if they ironed out all the wrinkles.
