Sonic Drive In

Food was good. Service was decent. Had a receipt for my order that said I owed $ 8.39 for my meal which was fine. Checked my bank account as I was eating and the charge said I paid $ 10.07 for the same meal. This location seems to use card readers and cell phones. Buyer beware: use cash or go to jack in the box. I’ve emailed the corporate office so I hope they can fix the problem.

Just had the worst service ever. Took 15 minutes to get cold food. Asked to speak to the manager and he would not talk to me. I will be calling the GM and talking with him to get my money back I will never eat there again.

I waited in the drive through for exactly 20 minutes for my order to be incorrect, half full tots and fries and very unfriendly service. I’ve only been at this location two times and they were out of multiple items on the menu both times.

Before heading out to our normal Charlotte dessert spot, I asked my sister in law to stop by the closes Sonic to grab a quick bite. When I saw this location off of the highway we decided to stop here. It is kind of hard to figure out which way to get into this location but we finally made our way in. After parking, we noticed you could come on side and sit at this location. Having never see this before at a sonic location, we decided to go in and eat inside. The phones need a little updating and the tables could have been cleaned a little better but it’s pretty cool for a sonic. You can pick the phone up at any table and place your order. After the normal 3 – 5 minute wait time our food finally came out. The food was hot and fresh and tasted on point. There were also tvs inside with two different channels going. This location is pretty decent.

It’s 11:30am on a rainy Tuesday and I order a route 44 diet coke with limes and a medium sweet tea. They are out of sweet tea and have to make more? At 11:30am you’ve allowed yourself to run completely out of sweet tea and expect me to wait while you brew more? What kind of planning of a lunch establishment is that? Who’s running this place? Certainly not someone that understands how to properly stock for the lunch rush or how to make money from a fast food establishment. So I opt for just the diet coke and to my astonishment, it’s got lemons in it… WOW. What a ridiculous excuse for a reasonable eating establishment. Please go out of business already so we can perhaps get a real restaurant in this prime location.

Service was very good and food came out really fast. Will definitely come back if I’m in the area again.

Horrible service. Combos aren’t really combos. Every thing is an up charge. No toys in my kids meal bags. The only thing good from this place are the slushies.

I like the old fashion idea of roller skates. It is fast food, but the people always seem friendly and it is convenient to just drive up order and get my food delivered right to the car. Good job.

Friendly service.
But over the years, they seem to have gotten my order wrong every time I go there. Just tonight they screwed it up again and delivered barely warm food.
Bleh

I’m from the state that this chain originated in and it makes me sad to see this place so poorly ran. They don’t carry any change on them so they have to go back inside. I’ve been here twice, both times just for drinks and it has taken over ten minutes each time. Mind you there was only two other cars here at that time. I now know why so many of these are shutting down around here.

Usually it’s slow especially later in the day. Today I couldn’t believe how quick my food came and tasted good! Redemption!

Just came back from there, and was pretty disappointed.
The inside dining area was a wreck (dirty tables, food on the floor, table side order phones out of order, etc). They weren’t particularly busy, and several employees were hanging around talking to one another.
My food came out relatively quickly, but was not complete, and even after alerting them of this and waiting on them, I had to remind them five minutes later to give me my missing items, at which point they seemed even more confused.
To top it off, the restroom was filthy and there were no paper towels, and I even saw an employee go in and use the restroom, and come out without remedying the situation… hope he at least washed his hands :/​
Given the state of this place, I have to wonder.
I want to like this place, but it scored an F on this visit.
Fast food doesn’t have to be messy, crummy, and lacking in service… just look at chick-​fil-​a.

As a huge sonic fan this is by far the worst sonic I have ever been to. The service, seeing as how there wasn’t many people there (wonder why), was slow. The credit card machine in my parking spot was broken. When I told the car hop she did not really seem to care. Once I got back home, which was across the street, my food was cold and very sloppily put together. I had a chili dog. Nothing crazy. The staple of sonic drive ins. By reading the other reviews, poor decision hindsight, this place is in desperate need of some new management.

Just went there, had not been to a Sonic in awhile, now know why so many have closed. I ordered a double cheeseburger without onions with mayonnaise, had to try to order three different times, she would not listen. When my burger comes out, it is full of onions, no mayonnaise, and COVERED in mustard. They offered to make another burger but I did not want one at that point and am now feeling kind of nauseated from what I ate.

Hello Friends,
For what its worth, this is a nice easy date spot, as it takes you back in time to the good ol days. I do remember at one point in time the car hops were on roller skates. Now days, either not so much, or the guys were «too cool» for skates. Opting for their own pair of Nike’s.
I do love the menu. Believe it or not, this is only my second time trying this type of place out. It’s like the old Town & Country (Wilkingson Blvd) or 21 South. If you’ve been to either of those places, consider this the perverbial fast food of the two.
It’s still fast food.
TTFN

This review is specific to there chilli dogs. I went expecting the worst, and they were worse than I expected.
One word: Nasty!

After lunch, I decided I needed to get the taste of salad out of my mouth, and what better way to do that than with a milkshake? Yes ma’am! I thought there was a Sonic near where I had lunch, but wasn’t quite sure where — thanks, Unilocal app. Located on Arrowood just off of the 77 exits, the drive-​thru line was kind of long when I pulled up, but quickly moved along. Instead of a drive-​thru window to pick up your food, they have employees running in and out with your food on trays. Again I thought that would be slow, but the folks were moving pretty darn quickly. If you pay with a card, they will have to go back inside to scan it, but even that was a pretty quick process. The youngster who brought my milkshake to me was smiling and quite friendly.
My small shake was $ 2.69 and I was on my way relatively quickly. It was creamy and thick, with a good dose of whipped cream and a cherry on top. I don’t know that I would eat lunch there (they have drive-​in service as well as some indoor seating), but if I needed another milkshake, I wouldn’t hesitate to stop by for friendly service.

When you want a great limeade… this is the place to go!
It was happy hour… and who doesnt love a good happy hour!!! So I ordered a strawberry limeage and a side of tater tots!
The limeade was great, it had lots of strawberries in it and it was cool and refreshing! I like that they give you a mint on top!
However, my tots were just warm, so I didn’t finish them and if you’ve every had cold or lukewarm fries you know what I mean when I say… ugh
Overall, I would give them another chance, I mean it was happy hour! Next time I’ll try something else off the menu and see if I’m impressed.
On a positive note, car hop that brought my drink and taters out was super sweet! She was upbeat and friendly and encouraged me to come back! So because of her Sonic… you get an additional star!

Grrrr
Hated it!
I love this chain, but hate this location!

Sonic has a place in the world and they have a unique niche that none of the other fast food places really inhabit. You can park your car and order without having to move. This is insanely handy for the parent with a bunch of kids or the commuter who just doesn’t feel like getting out or the lazy bastard (Not me. No, really. I’m not lazy!) who doesn’t want to get out of a car that is loaded with stuff just pulled from the storage unit.
Pull up to a slot, figure out what you want, press the button and order. Heck, you can even pay the sign directly with your credit or debit card!
After a bit, a carhop brings your food right to your window. Sometimes, they’re even wearing roller skates. I mean, how cool is that!
Burgers are solid and have the usual fixings. They also do hot dogs («coneys») with an assortment of toppings. Today I went with the «Bacon and Blue» which was yummy but probably not a great idea. Lots of loose bits that kept falling out of the sandwich and into my lap. Or into the seat of the car. Especially the poppy seeds. So next time I’ll have something else. But it was sure yummy!
Note: This Sonic location also has covered tables and a dining room if you’d prefer to get out of your car.
