Sonic Drive-In

Milkshakes are awesome, but the service is abysmal. 9 times out of 10 servers will be rude and moody.

The concept of a sonic is pretty great: Drive– In dining. Sonic also offers a drive though and an outdoor seating area. The outdoor seating area is perfect if you have a dog. The food is… okay.
For me, the corn dog is the stand out star of their menu. I love corn dogs– and there are not too many places that serve a good corn dog. Plus it is less than $ 2 off the everyday value menu– how can you beat that! (The everyday value menu is pretty hard to find– but look close enough and it should be in small type on the bottom corner.)
The rest of the food is okay– what you would expect from fast food. I recently ordered the chicken strip sandwich, and was disappointed. The chicken was not in strips– but in nuggets which was awkward to eat in sandwich form. Also the bread had a few soggy spots– ew.
They do have a great drink selection– and you can’t beat happy hour– half priced drinks from two to four. If you are getting a soda make sure you ask for easy ice– otherwise they load the cup with ice not soda.
The servers were very friendly and willing to accommodate at this location– even coming back to check on us mid lunch. It did take awhile to order the food though, as one of the out-​door seating mics was broken.
Sonic is a cool place to visit every once in a while.

I usually avoid Sonic but I was passing by and hungry and I got caught up in the idea that maybe their food has evolved a bit.
Sadly, for me, not. For those who love Sonic, it’s still the same. In my opinion, mediocre, salty and pricey. I can eat Sonic for just about what Five Guys costs and their food is so much better descriptive words fail me.
So my impulse buy was a bad decision.
If you love Sonic, the Mount Joy location will present no surprises.
If you’ve not been to a Sonic, anywhere, my suggestion, go somewhere else unless you enjoy salty, overpriced and indifferently made burgers and fries.

Honestly, I’m seeing a ton of bad reviews here for this location. Honestly, I didn’t have a bad experience. I ordered the Popcorn Chicken with tots and was adventurous by getting a Dr. Pepper with Strawberry. And it cost me under 10 bucks so that was good for me. I know I don’t go here too often, but when I do, I love just sitting in my car and eating.
However, this place isn’t perfect. The tots seemed a little spicy, probably a pinch of pepper in them, and as for the Dr. Pepper, I got Strawberry Lumps stuck in my straw. But all in all, do like coming here if I can get here. So I recommend coming here for a snack at least.

All I can say is wow. 27 minutes for them to correct the order, well attempt to. A lady brought the receipt out to try and correct it. They put two of everything on the order! 30 minutes after we arrived, food finally came… Only to have extra stuff and a huge bill. Sent stuff back and also discovered they forgot items we originally ordered! We FINALLY left after 40 minutes. I normally don’t deal with stuff like that but I’m pregnant and wanted a slushy haha. Just sooo slow and don’t understand anything !!

For the past two years the staff at this Sonic has been truly incompetent. Always slow, always over-​charging and always getting orders wrong. Recently there seems to have been a change for the better. Around Spring of 2012 the staff was mostly replaced and orders are coming much faster and more accurately.

Gross gross gross. The place smells bad and other than the beverages has nothing but fried food to offer a vegetarian. I’ll come here for an occasional cherry limeade, but that is all.
