Sonic Drive In

Best Sonic in town. Always super friendly and food and drink is on-​point. I always have to hit this place up when I’m on this side of town. Keep up the good work all!

This Sonic location is, overall, pretty decent. The food service is quick and friendly and generally pretty good. The location is great because it’s right next to a shopping area that has a Wal-​Mart and Lowe’s, but I am knocking it down a couple of stars for two reasons. First, I have a hard time giving a fast food location five stars because the food is packaged and never that great. Second, and the biggest factor in this review, is that the parking lot is extremely difficult to get in and out of due to traffic and the locations of the entrance and exits. When this Sonic was originally built the area was no where near as developed as it is now. As a result of business development the location of the entrances and exits now have you turning against traffic any way you go which leaves you waiting for several minutes. Also, one entrance requires you to make an immediate almost 90 degree turn to avoid hitting the parking/​order area. That’s not a big deal in a small vehicle, but if you’re in an SUV or truck that’s a tight turn.

This is a staple on trips to Columbia. Great place to grab a quick beverage or bite to eat. It ain’t what it ain’t. Not fancy. Not sit-​down nor even traditional MIckeyD drive thru. Food is made fresh when I order it and drinks are made to my unique tastes and twists. I like a strawberry-​vanilla, Diet DrPepper or a raspberry limeade, possibly a chocolate malt. I like that it is clean and friendly and just a tad nostalgic. Proximity to Lowe’s and HomeDepot make it easy to hit on supply runs before an 80 mile trek home.
