The new Sonic Drive-In at 2563 S. Raul Longoria Rd. in Edinburg opened in early May 2025, replacing the long-standing Dickie’s Car Wash. The opening drew a crowd with a full ribbon-cutting, local performances, and special deals. But now that the excitement has settled, what do everyday customers and employees actually think?
Local Praise and Gripes So Far
So far, reviews are a mixed combo—just like a Sonic drink run.
Customers generally say the food has been consistently good, especially the burgers and tots. Some have called it the “cleanest and fastest” Sonic they’ve visited. The drive-thru and stall service are often praised for their speed, especially during off-peak hours.
But not everything is peach slushies and chili dogs. Some visitors are scratching their heads at the lack of online ordering. Others mention that without indoor seating, it’s a challenge to enjoy your meal during Texas heatwaves or sudden rain. A few early visits also reported order mix-ups or missing condiments.
Employees Speak: Cool Coworkers, But No Paid Sick Days
Over on job review platforms, workers say the environment is generally upbeat. Team members mention supportive coworkers and flexible schedules. Several new hires note that training was quick and hands-on.
That said, not everyone’s thrilled. Some staff have pointed out issues like unpaid breaks and no paid sick leave. Management reviews are mixed—some say the leadership is fair, others say favoritism and miscommunication need work.
So, Should You Swing By?
If you’re after a fast, familiar meal with good service and outdoor seating, the new Sonic in East Edinburg hits the mark. Just don’t expect all the extras like app ordering or indoor dining—at least not yet.
