$1.20 worth of extra toppings it's pitiful. This is a Oreo blast.
Austin R.

So they charge $1.20 for extra toppings ok I understand that. But to be as lackluster as they're being they shouldn't charge at all. This is a rundown location that they tried to spruce up with adding a dinning room but it's not enough to make it worth $8.61 for a medium Oreo blast that's mediocre at best. They need to trim the bushes and fix the lack of efforts in the food department.

Sonic interior.

Beautiful interior seating. Friendly service and the coffee is good. This is my new go to for coffee. They even have USB outlets to recharge my phone.

Small vanilla Hand-Mixed Classic Shakes
Tara J.

I recently tried the vanilla milkshake at Sonic, and I have mixed feelings about it. While there were some good aspects, there were a couple of issues that left me wanting more. The flavor of the vanilla milkshake was good - creamy and rich, however, the texture was a bit thicker than I expected. It was so thick that I couldn't easily sip it through a straw, which was a disappointment. If I wanted soft serve ice cream I would've gotten that, but I wanted a milkshake to be able to drink. Another small disappointment was the whipped cream topping. It wasn't filled to the top of the lid as I had hoped.

Chicken tenders (dry af)
Mary J.

I was getting hangry on the way home from a meeting and hit this Sonic on the way since February 2nd is national tater tot day. I pulled up to a drive order screen and spoke to an order taker. Not the best experience since the restaurant's music was blaring and it was hard to hear and probably be heard. The chicken tenders on the menu are tossed in a sauce, but the order taker would only tell me the condiment dips. The screen told me my order and it was easy to pay and a nice young lady named Sophia brought my food out. She also got me ketchup later. The food was abysmal. My tots were cold and the container wasn't full, even after I dumped the "bag" tots back in there. The 3 chicken tenders were $4.39 and they were so dry and shriveled. They must have been sitting in a heater forever. The cheeseburger came with onions (I ordered no onions) and NO extra pickles, as requested. It tasted strongly of grill grease and the bun was overly thick.

This is my first trip through the drive thru.

If I could give it a 0 stars I would. I ordered a number 7 with tots and a Dr Pepper at their drive thru. This is what I got after. I drive back to sonic and complained I got what I originally ordered all squashed and no fork and tasted like it was drowned in salt so bad, I was unable to eat it.

I ordered a cup of ice and some Mozzarella sticks. Once I took the lid off my cut this is what I found.
Season C.

I order mozzarella sticks and a cup of ice upon removing the lid I saw that I had black particle swimming in my cup. This is not good. Thank God I removed lid.

Oreo shake lookin pink

Told them 4 burgers and they rang me up for 1. Had to reorder and wait again. Ordered an Oreo shake and got a strawberry instead. Had to wait AGAIN! What kind of service is this? I really didn't want to go here but it was late, most places were closed and was on the way home. Now I'm definitely never coming back. 45 mins in the car and still waiting. Talk about fast food huh 0 star

I always come for my strawberry slushy and they never disappoint. Well this review has changed. I was wondering why my strawberry slushy didn't taste like it usually does, well they barely put anything on it that's why. Train your people right. I don't come to sonic for a cup of ice.

2 pieces of short hair in my food.

food was cold AND I found 2 separate pieces of hair in my food disgusting staff and disgusting place. needs to be investigated

I ordered a cheeseburger meal. It took over 20 minutes to get me the order and then the fries were cold. Won't be coming back.

Gelati celesti is a cozy, modern ice cream shop with a great selection of ice cream flavors! My…read morefriend and I enjoyed a small cup of the rainbow cookie ice cream during our visit. Ice cream can get incredibly rich for me very fast, but that wasn't my experience with their rainbow cookie ice cream! Very smooth, almost reminiscent to birthday cake, with just the right touch of sweetness. There are plenty of seating indoors, and lots of spots to park your car outside! The staff are friendly and they keep the place extremely spotless, cleaning surfaces and even wiping down the glass doors and windows through the night. They also have a water dispenser in the event that you need a sip of water and it's great for people like myself who need water after a sweet! The place is very quiet around the evening (we were there around 8:40pm) and there's hardly a line, if at all. But the place stays open til 10pm throughout the week. The place deserves more traction. I will definitely be coming back here with my husband who is an ice cream fiend!

Stopped in here on a freezing cold day (like... 19 degrees outside), and honestly? Ice cream in 19…read moredegree weather? Why not. Zero regrets. First off, the staff were super friendly and welcoming right when we walked in. They were more than happy to let us sample a few flavors, which I always appreciate, especially when there are so many options and everything sounds good. The flavor selection is seriously impressive, and it makes choosing just one feel impossible. They don't just do basic scoops either. You can get milkshakes, malts, ready-to-go pints, ice cream sandwiches, ice cream pies, or keep it classic with a cup or cone. Basically, whatever ice-cream mood you're in, they've got something for you. I ended up going with the cookie dough ice cream sandwich, and it absolutely hit the spot. The ice cream was super creamy and packed with cookie dough, and the cookies themselves were soft, chewy, and the perfect match for the filling. It was rich without being too much, which is saying something for an ice cream sandwich. The whole place just had a really easy, fun vibe. Nothing pretentious, just good ice cream, lots of choices, and nice people! If you're in the area and craving something sweet, give them a try. Whether it's the middle of summer or literally below freezing outside, it's worth stopping in.

My first time here, and the next time I visit, it will be a stop! Standing Room Only though, there is no seating. That is why they have cups as well.

I don't usually leave one-star reviews, but this experience was bad from start to finish…read more I placed a mobile order and waited at the clearly marked pickup window on the left side of the building, where there's a giant sign that says "Pick Up Mobile Orders Here." It was raining, and I stood there for about 10 minutes. I was literally the only customer there at the time. Anna was inside near the front window and looked directly at me multiple times, but never once came over to acknowledge me or ask if I needed help. Instead, she went back to writing something down. After waiting in the rain, I finally walked around to the front window. The second I got there, Anna opened it and asked if I needed help. I asked why she never came to the mobile pickup window where I'd been waiting, and her response was that it was "too much of a pain to open." That's honestly not an acceptable excuse, especially when a customer has already been standing there in the rain waiting for an order that was ready. Unfortunately, the customer service wasn't the only issue. The ice cream itself was terrible. It tasted sour, was watery, and honestly just nasty. I threw it away after a couple of bites because I couldn't finish it. The location itself also isn't very inviting. There's nowhere to sit or enjoy your ice cream--it's basically just surrounded by parking lots with no real atmosphere. I'm very disappointed because I've been to other Bruster's locations and have always been treated like an actual human being. This location was the complete opposite. Between the poor customer service and the bad quality of the ice cream, I won't ever be returning to this location.

I don't eat ice cream often, but I was sooo glad that I had the opportunity to try some from Sundae…read moreScoop. I was impressed by the number of different flavors that they had available and they all sound delicious!! I ended up getting a Salted Caramel Butter pecan scoop in a waffle cone and my girlfriend got the banana pudding in a cup. Both were smooth and creamy and not overly sweet. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other flavors. Our total was about 12 dollars. The place was nice and clean with several places to sit and the young ladies that were working were kind and polite! Make sure you try it out and let me know your fave flavor!!

Sundae Scoop is really amazing! I'm not an ice cream lover. But I love Sundae Scoop…read more Leaving a doctor appointment in Chesapeake early this week I was excited that I would pass Sundae Scoop on the way home. I pulled into the shopping center & found a locked door at the shop. Peeping into the window I saw that it was definitely closed. Disappointed I turned to leave. A man wheeling in what must have been today's prepared ice creams asked me if I wanted ice cream. When I answered in the affirmative he unlocked the door & turned on the lights. I learned that during the winter they don't open till 3. Asking if he was the owner, he confirmed that he & his wife were. Going to the back while I got my two pints of Ube Ice Cream from the cooler, he returned with three complementary containers of flavors that I hadn't tried. Sharing with him the fact that I wasn't an Ice Cream person but loved his, he asked if it was the Ube. I told him that flavor was my favorite but it was because his tasted different & so much better than other Ice Cream. Mentioning that other Ice Cream was just too sweet. He confirmed that was the biggest mistake people made preparing Ice Cream. He certainly knows the best way to prepare the deliciousness. Somehow we also even got on the topic of NFL Football. Don't I always? It's wonderful to learn that one of my favorite spots is owned by such a friendly & nice person. He didn't have to unlock the door so I could buy Ice Cream. But he did. So I left the store with a bag full of my favorite treat. If you haven't yet tried Sundae Scoop you've missed the best Ice Cream in Coastal Virginia. Even if it's not in your part of the Metro, make a trip there. You won't regret it.
