Sonic Drive-In

Well, I have gone here about 2 times for their so called famous shakes. Let me tell u something their shakes aren’t nothing but shit. I got 2 shakes one small vanilla and the other was vanilla with nerds toppings. The nerds where fucking old as shit. I thought nerds where supposed to be colurful not puke yellow. Also, the vanilla shake was green. How the fuck is vanilla green makes no sense what so ever. I also got a burger man the shit was ass. I swear to god I would rather eat Jesus’ ass Crack then this ever again. I’m gonna do u all a favor and not talk about the service I’ll let another person talk about that. Oh I almost forgot look at the after effect of my meal. I stopped at some food place on the way home cuz I had to shit out my food. Just look. Never go here unless u want to explode.

My friend and I went to sonic and we got two blasts. One with peanut butter and the other with Oreo. They are very good but they switched the toppings. My friend is allergic to peanut butter and now has hives.

I was surprised by this Sonic tonight! After seeing some of the mixed reviews on here, I wasn’t sure what I was going to get. I ordered a Chicken Club Toaster sandwich and tater tots, and it was delicious! It looked almost identical to the one in the picture online. I kept checking the chicken to make sure it was cooked through (after seeing the reviews about raw chicken…) and it was perfect and crunchy. Even the bacon was crispy. The tots were nice and crunchy, and a perfect addition to the sandwich. I really enjoyed my meal, and definitely will be back for another one! Plus, the drive thru was really busy, but the line went very quickly and smoothly.

Now I can’t complain too much, as I frequent this place. However, I recently went to get a burger, which I ordered plain, without any toppings. I went home and took a bite of my burger, and all I tasted was bread and salt. I lifted up the bun to find an extremely large, obvious amount of salt sprinkled on the patty of my burger. I still finished the burger because I was beyond hungry, but I really didn’t understand why there was enough salt for 10 people shoved inside a plain hamburger. I’ve worked in food and I’ve never seen this occur, and I’m honestly stumped. Other than that, all of my other experiences at this location have been decent, and I quite enjoy the food here. The service inside the enclosed patio could be a little quicker, but that’s not really much of a burden.

This is similar to the other Sonics I’ve been to. I like the enclosed patio they added on.

This place is horrible. The service barely exists, they just look at you through the window and ignore you. Even if they come out the still ignored us. We just went in for drinks and waited 10 minutes and no one came to the register so we left. Defiantly won’t be back to this location

I stopped by this Sonic on the way home after a night out with my friend. He had never been to a Sonic before, and I was jonesing for a milkshake, so we decided to pop in. We pulled in to one of the carhop spots and he looked over the menu, as I looked over the milkshakes.
He got a chicken sandwich on texas toast which he liked but couldn’t finish so we took it home. We both got tots, which are always good. And I got a pretzel dog — which was fantastic. I love pretzel bread. I also got the banana cream pie milkshake, which was good. It had little bits of crust in there and a strong banana flavor. Not much more you can ask for.
The carside service guy tripped on his way to my car and almost wiped out with the tray. Thankfully he gained his balance and didn’t lose any of the food.

Don’t eat here! We were just served Raw Chicken! And there were 3 other cars that reported the same thing… disgusting

They have the best desserts out of any sonic I have been to!!! It is located right off the side of the road. The service is fast and the prices are the same as any other sonics. Most of the outside waiters skate. That’s always nice. Strawberry limades are everything.

Hey Lady at the drive-​thru tonight. I asked you a question this evening because you’re more informed about the menu as an employee, and because its your job to take my order and answer my questions. I don’t expect great service from a fast food place, but lose the attitude.

I take back my last review I wrote about Sonic. My boyfriend and I went for ice cream a few months ago and when he got to his last bite he ended up almost choking and pulling out a long piece of plastic. GROSS! Not to mention Boniva or whatever her name is — is rude and lacks in customer service skills. I ordered something and couldn’t understand her through the mic and she yelled at me. a customer!

I have never been to a sonic but I sort of knew what to expect. Drive-​up style with a roller skating waitress and their many 1 million plus combination’s of fountain drinks. Alright burgers, so/​so fries and I was more impressed with their hot dogs than anything else. I tried the Chicago dog and although so much relish was on it, it still was worth the try. I guess most people enjoy the roller skating service which is a good bonus but overall the food is average.

My husband just came home from stopping here and had a dismayed look on his face. When I asked him what was wrong, he ran up to the bathroom and proceded to get sick. He had ordered a large popcorn chicken and after he to a bite and swallowed he thought the skin was a little soft. However is wasn’t the skin… the whole piece of chicken inside the crispy exterior was raw.
They refunded his money, however I do not think we will be eating at this location ever again. I can understand mistakes but serving raw chicken disguised in a crispy exterior is terrible. This could have ended much much worse than it did. They really need to be more careful.

Standard fast food fare except for all the customization options. All the flavors you can put in your drinks is great. My favorite is a watermelon sprite. The burgers are okay. The chili cheese tots are pretty good. And the ice cram is real ice cream not what you find in other fast food joints. This location is not any different from any other.

Best reserved for nights of heavy drinking. Cheap and yummy!

I give this particular sonic the two stars, not the franchise. I absolutely love cherry limeades and do not have a problem driving 30 minutes to get one. However, after my first trip to this particular sonic I learned to ask for easy ice the next time I went as they filled up the cup with ice and there want much drink. Well, we just got back from our second trip and I asked for light ice however once again we got 80% ice and little limeade. You know it is the little things in life. I also abhor establishments that use such cost saving tactics.

It’s your typical fast food burger place– but what they have that the others don’t is the drive in stalls with servers delivering your food on roller skates and in the summer its always nice sitting outside with some friends!
In my opinion the burgers, tots, BLT sandwich, the chicken sandwich on the dollar menu, the slushies and the frito wrap on the dollar menu were all good!
I didnt like the mozz sticks (cheese was hard more than once) and the onion rings just taste like batter.
I chose to write a review on this location because so far its the best one! The location in edison is still new and they dont put alot on the burger they seem very dry. so i have to ask for extra everything!
Can anyone explain why they are soooo stingy with the ketchup packets! I ask for extra ketchup and they give me two… Really? lol

This may just be me, but I am worried that Sonic may suffer a bit of market saturation in my book. I remember the specialness that came along with a trek (not just a trip, but a trek) to a Sonic. I remember getting all my friends to cram into a car and drive far far away when we were craving Slushies and Tots. However, there has been a recent explosion in the number of Sonic Drive-​Ins to hit New Jersey. I remember I used to have to drive no less than 40 minutes to the nearest Sonic either way up in Totowa or down South by Tom’s River. Now there is one on Rt 17 and another in on Rt 22.
I’m not knocking them at all. They are all pretty much what you would expect from a national chain. It’s just that I remember when I used to think that I wish I had a Sonic near by, but now that my «wish» has come true, I’ve lost some of the magic at America’s Drive-​In

Been watching those dam commercials for years now, while never actually seeing this place. Well finally got to check one out and not that impressed. Its a drive in and not a drive through which means you can park on the side and be served by adolecents in rollerblades.
The menu is pretty standard. My burger was mediocre and had enough mustard to kill a small child. Tater tots with chilli and cheese were o.k. Drinks have crushed ice and not cubed (great), probably should have gotten some ice cream so i would have left happy. Not a fan of fast food and that trend continues.

This was my first experience at Sonic. The concept of driving up to a stall, placing your order, and being served by people on roller stakes is fun but I am not sure how efficient it is compared to standard drive throughs. Navigation in and out of the spots can be tricky when it is busy but at least for now they seem to be helping you out with this.
Now for the food — a BLT Sandwich, Onion Rings, and an Oreo Sonic Blast. The BLT was great — it is nice to know that this is a place to get one when you have the craving. The onion rings are a pass — not much taste and not worth the calories for a zag. The blast was very good — but how can you go wrong with Oreos and soft serve?
Bottom line is the BLT alone is a reason for me to go back sometime in the future. The place is new as Sonic itself is new to the area. It is my hope they can maintain the freshness of the experience and keep an interesting option open for those looking to Drive-​In for food.
