Sonic Drive-In

This place is a guilty pleasure. However, since it is fast food it can only get three stars. My favorite thing on the menu is the big toasty. Skip the fries because they are always soggy. If you are craving good fries try chik fil a or checkers. Also every Wednesday they have corn dogs for 50 cents a piece which is good for a quick snack. Overall 3.25÷5

The food is decent, well priced, & mostly the service was exceptional. I like the different sizes they have for the sides! I went here twice & both times the servers were super helpful & kind. I will def come back here if I’m on the run & need some fast food! Good luck

Okay the endless combo’s on drinks alone is specatcular but then you add ice cream and shakes and you seriously could not have the same thing twice– Love coming here. to eat there or take home– but tator tots with chili and cheese– !!! oh yesh!
So far so good happy customers.

I am lowering my rating based solely on the service and my most recent experience here. Pulled in and placed our order. Order is promptly brought out the my car. server leaves and we start handing out the food. we soon notice that they didn’t give us one of our burgers. Ok, no problem, right? I call them back on the speaker and inform them they forgot a burger from our order. The guy on the other end says ’ I’ll be right there to check the receipt. The manager says he put it in there” The guy comes to the car and I show him the receipt. He says ok he’ll be right back. Now, while I;m waiting for the burger, I’m starting to boil, because they basically said I was a liar. He comes back with the burger and apologizes. I tell him, why don’t you send the manager out here and I want him to find the burger he claims he gave us. Next time he calls me a liar, I’ll shove a burger up his ass. The guys face goes white and he starts apologizing saying it was him who packed the order and not the manager. I said, well that’s not what you said over the intercom.
It was probably a case of the guy trying to cover for his own mistake, but don’t pull that shit with me.

Those who know me, know that aside from food, I really like classic cars. That said, on a warm spring /​summer day, nothing goes better with a drop-​top ’64 than a «classic» styled drive-​in restaurant. Sonic fits the bill, so I often find myself here after car shows, or whenever I feel like taking a cruise around.
For those who haven’t ever been here — the concept is simple. You pull your car into a parking spot, which has a menu board with a button on it. Once you figure out what you want, you press the button and your order is soon roller skated out to you 1950’s style, to be eaten in your vehicle. The food is typical fast food fare here, nothing too crazy or fancy, with a large emphasis on their shakes and lime rickeys (otherwise known as cherry limeade).
So how is it? Well, it’s fast food. The hot dogs (especially the Chicago dog) are my personal favorite, but don’t expect Boars Head quality meat here — these are very obviously el cheapo dogs that are dressed up to taste good. The burgers are much the same, and taste like a Wendy’s patty that was cooked on Burger King’s grill (so it’s a little juicy and a little flame broiled, but still commercial-​tasting). The tater tots are the best choice for a side. Shakes are great, with some amazing flavor combos like «Jalapeño Chocolate» and «Bacon Peanut Butter», both of which work surprisingly well together. My only complaint is that I hate that they make their shakes so thick you can’t drink them with a straw — seriously, if I wanted ice cream in a cup, I’d buy ice cream. A little bit more milk would make these things easier to suck down.
All in all, you don’t come to Sonic for the food — you come for the atmosphere and fun of having gone to a drive-​in. The service is great, and the food is OK, but the nostalgia is what brings me back. If you want a little more homemade flavor, there’s always the Circus Drive-​In.

Lala’s Puerto Rican food truck was sold out, so we ended up here. I order the hot dogs (note to Sonic, buy some quality dogs). Overall, I was reminded why I don’t eat here often.

So my love affair with Sonic began in a little town deep in Tennessee called Bolivar. I had never heard of Sonic, never saw a commercial but was highly impressed by the waitresses skating to the car with your food and drinks. I stopped by one night, had a milk shake and was in love every since.
Now fast forward 10 years and I’m still in love. I’ve been to Sonic in about 4 different states and all of them have been great!
After leaving Six Flags we decided to stop by Sonic to cheer us up (I know its sad that we turn to food to cheer us up but whatever!) Some of my friends had never been and they were excited to see what all the fuss was about. We decided to order as much food as possible just to see if the waitress could carry it all while skating in this extremely cold weather (insert evil laugh here). We pushed the red button and the waiter told us «The drive in is closed, you have to use the drive thru.» (Abort mission, abort mission!!!). What did I do to upset the food gods? Why were they punishing me? What was the point of going to Sonic if they aren’t going to skate out and delivery our food? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! (Minus 1 star)
So we changed our orders, drove around and got our food. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese toaster with a side of tots. Of course it was good and instantly cheered me up (ahhh yes, the food gods are shining down upon me).
Overall: Of course I’m coming back.

Food is just ok. It’s fast food, so I don’t usually get anything to eat. But, every Tuesday, I take my son here for a mini shake before his drum lesson. I can’t tell you how many times I wind up behind someone that must order everything on the menu, and I wind up sitting there for sometimes longer than 7 minutes. But, the staff is always incredibly apologetic and so I feel bad in the end.
You are better off going here if you have the time to sit and eat in your car. If I didn’t have to, I would probably never use this particular drive-​thru.

Why is it when I get into a car, my husband and I automatically turn into «Fat America?»
Sonic is no exception. Food is underwhelming. Tots are very good. That’s about it. Though I didn’t order food at this particular Sonic. We went for drink happy hour. My husband made his own limeade with raspberry. I was jealous. You really can’t beat a medium limeade for 99 cents.
I think we got our drinks in about 3 minutes flat.

I would like to know why only half the staff at this particular Sonic location actually rollerskate/​rollerblade to your vehicle? It was the first things my friends and I noticed after a long, tiring, exciting day at Six Flags Great Adventure.
However, once you get over the fact that the staff doesn’t skate and impress you with their skating/​serving skills, you realize it’s late, you’re at Sonic, and the food is till damn-​good.

Being that there aren’t any Sonics in NYC, on a recent trip to Point Pleasant, my friends and i went out of our way to stop here. Sonic is classically amazing, there are too many things to pick from, and there all good! Not the best place for you heart, but a great treat when you can get it.
This location was pretty good, very fast, not so friendly service. But whatever give me my mini corn dogs and get the hell out my face sucka! Will be back, to tasty not to.
