What diners say — our read

An A inspection result sits behind a review average of just 2.8. Opinion on front-of-house is split — those reviews land at 3.3 on average. Wait times is the next most common subject, in 58% of reviews (averaging 2.7).

How food arrives shows up in 19% of reviews as well, averaging 1.4. The single most common rating left here is 1 star (13 of 26). Of the 26 rated reviews, 11 sit at four stars or better and 13 at two or below.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (91/100) with 9 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was December 8, 2025. On health score it sits safer than 45% of the Brevard County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and nonfood-contact surfaces clean.

If cleanliness is what you care about, the reviews are the better guide here; if it is the kitchen, the grade is. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    Absolutely the slowest service. 35 minutes for 1 meal in an empty parking lot is insane.

  • June 23, 2026

    1st of all , Wanted to say, the staff was cordial and respectful, however I can tell the used OIL to fry the Onion rings and Crispy tenders were burnt "old", (I know, I worked in a kitchen for may years.) *They failed to bring or offer any dipping sauce for the chicken *Had to step out and ask for forks *The footlong quarter was super dry Suggestion ( clean the stall's)

    Lady running drive thru had to ask different people questions about everything we said. She offered my husband if he wanted to combo his hamburger because also ordered tater tots, he said yes, then she mumbled a bit and had to ask someone how to it to which they responded his burger didn't qualify for a combo. I got a hotdogs, asked to have them put a slice of cheese on it. Sat at window for 30 minutes waiting. She pops her head out window and asks if we need our drinks, we only ordered 1 and had gotten 30 minutes ago when we paid, we said no and her response was "oh, you're waiting for food?" 🤦‍♀️😠 YES!A minute later she was back with our food. The hamburger was on bottom, hotdogs was stood straight up and down next to it with tots on top of burger. So when I pull dog out of bag all condiments had slid to end of bag, cheese was canned squirt cheese and all the food was cold.

    This place has absolutely gone to crap....No one in line at the drive thru but still waited over 5 min. They took my order and when I got up to the window the employee was cleaning up trash and took forever to even start my drink order. When I saw him grab a cup without washing his hands after carring trash I just left. Will never go back.

    I would never want to come back to this restaurant they have bugs and this restaurant is not at all clean the workers are so rude and most of them would always be drinking alot on the job and befor they go to work and they be doing other things too while on the job.this place is not clean and they dont know on how to cook there food right I am surprised that this restaurant is still in business .I dont recommend bringing my family back to this place never again and my friends also my daughter got sick eating one of there burgers that was not cooked right

    Shame on the owner of this franchise. I'm certain that they are very wealthy, paying minimum wage to workers who are not provided enough staff to do their job appropriately no matter how hard they drive. Any decent manager or owner would either staff properly or come down and take customer orders themselves. It takes more than 15 minutes to even put your order in at this place, and that's not talking about waiting for the food. We can choose where we spend our money, and I suggest that y'all join me in spending your money elsewhere. Plenty of other reviews are saying the same thing, so clearly this place does not care to fix the problem.

    waited 30 minutes for a small pick up order (2 drinks a burger and fries) and they gave me the complete wrong order. i called ahead and came back for a remake and have officially been waiting an hour. when i called they basically blamed everything on the new hire and gave me an attitude (it is NOT the new hires fault they aren’t getting trained properly btw) and said how it was “extremely busy” i’ve worked and managed at fast food locations that get much busier then this so i know this is just laziness and poor management .

  • May 23, 2026

    Shouldn't have to wait 15 minutes to place an order. I'm good, I'll go somewhere else.

  • May 18, 2026

    Onion rings were burnt and not edible….. waited over 20 mins

  • May 18, 2026

    Ty was amazing! Best customer service 100%!

  • May 17, 2026

    Fries were overcooked and drenched in grease. Burger had no toppings just meat patty and cheese...

  • May 16, 2026

    Ordered at kiosk took 4 minutes before someone took the order and 27 minutes till we got our food. Bacon was burnt floats were ok.

  • May 12, 2026

    Second time I been there and they’re slushes taste like water doesn’t taste like a slushie at all

    At the drive throu me and my family ordered 3 cherry limeades, 1 diet cherry limeade, and 1 tot with cheese. When we pulled through the diet cherry limeade was not marked. When asked about it the lady said she had no idea which one was the diet and that she couldn't mark it because they were "really busy", there were exactly 3 cars total at the Sonic. She was also unwilling to help us and told us we needed to figure it out ourselves. To put the nail in the coffin they forgot the cheese on the tot. Out of all the fast food restaurants I've eaten at, this was the worst customer service.

    Don't waste your time going to this place. Even the locals say it has poor service! Go to Culver's.
