$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

Our waitress was friendly and attentive. I loved the pretzels but I will say that personal my burger had too much bun.

Not sure why they couldn't tell us this before the order. Anyway, no biggie. We ordered an app, mozz sticks and split the 4 cheeseburger sliders with fries. The mozz Sticks came out about 40 min later. They were so over cooked that all the cheese was completely blown out of them. We tried a few and it was nothing but bread. The waitress was nice enough to take them back and just remove them from our tab (it would be too long to wait for them again). Another 20 minutes and we received our order. The fries looked amazing!!! I was so disappointed to find out that looks can be deceiving. They had no flavor. I feel like maybe it was an oversight? I have read other reviews and others raved over them so, maybe the kitchen just forgot to season them. But they tasted like pure oil. But those burgers. Holy moly. Those burgers are were soooooo good! They don't make up for the others but I was glad not to leave there hungry. They gave us a coupon for our next time coming in. Told us not to open it and let our waitress, so they could tell us what our percentage off was. I opened it in the car bc I will not he back. It was 10% off in case others got this as well. Just a heads up

We've tried quite a few items on the menu but I've never tried the Crunchy Fried Shrimp, so we ordered that along with the Meaty Meaty Pizza and Wings. We also grabbed some drinks as well. You can't beat $5 cocktails! I asked our server if I could make my Strawberry Margarita "spicy" and the bartender hooked me up! It had the perfect amount of spice and tasted amazing! The food was served pretty quickly and everything tasted great. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of seasoning! The pizza and wings are always amazing! Bubba's never disappoints! Between the amazing staff and the great food, this place is definitely a vibe and worth trying out!!!

The burgers are absolutely amazing. My favorite was the Greg Brady: a smashed burger topped with house-made mac & cheese, American cheese, and BBQ potato chips. It sounds over the top, but somehow it all works perfectly. A friend enjoyed the Chiflet, topped with applewood-smoked bacon, a sunny-side-up egg, and American cheese. A couple others tried the special burgers of the day, and they were all a hit as well. We all upgraded to double patties, and it was hands-down the best decision. The sweet potato fries were also delicious and the perfect side. Customer service was also amazing! Everyone was super helpful and attentive both of the times we were there. If you're in Norfolk and craving a great burger, don't miss this place. We'll definitely be back!

Price point was about $16 for a burger and fries without a drink. We ordered the regular cheeseburger, the Cowboy (bacon, BBQ sauce, and American cheese), the Cobra Kai (cream cheese, pickled jalapeños, and jalapeño jelly), and the Classic Jack (caramelized onions, JB sauce, and dill pickles). Everything tasted solid and came out hot. The restaurant itself is very small and does not seem ideal for larger groups. Despite this, I loved the ambiance, it has a dive bar vibe with lots of notes on dollar bills on the walls that were fun to read. I will be coming back again when in the area! A special shoutout to the waitress with the bridge piercing. She was friendly, accommodating, and quick with service, which really stood out.

I was a little disappointed because the pictures all showed beer battered fries and they came with crinkle fries. If we would have known that we wouldn't have paid for the up charge to get fries.

The place was packed but we were seated right away. There is a full bar and over 30 tv's. This would be the perfect place to watch several sports at once. They have bar, table and booth seating. The bathrooms are small but clean. I liked being able to see into the kitchen as well. Our server, Ariana, was an absolute gem. She promptly took our drink orders and our appetizer request. We got the combo appetizer which had boneless wings, twirly mozzarella sticks and fried pickles. HIGHLY recommend. Although it did take a little longer to get it, everything was hot and cooked perfectly. Ariana did explain how everything is cooked fresh so we expected to have a bit of a wait. For our entrees, I ordered the Monte Cristo with fries and my boyfriend had the sunshine burger with loaded tater tots. These took a lot longer to come out. We watched several people come, eat and leave before we got our food. Ariana kept us updated and was very apologetic. The Monte Cristo was the perfect balance between sweet and savory. The burger was full of flavor and huge. The loaded tots, unfortunately, they did not come out that way. Our server tried to get the kitchen to make a fresh batch, but to be honest, we were just tired and ready to go at this point. We are very empathetic when it comes to a busy restaurant. Ariana was doing everything she could to try and get our food on time and kept checking with the kitchen. I'm honestly surprised that the supervisor did not come over to check in. Our bill even had a charge for the games on the kiosk, which we did not play. However, we were just ready to go home at that point. The food was delicious. Our service from our server could not have been better. Disappointed with the management , I feel they should have been more helpful to the staff and to the customers. Especially since the order was not completed fully and we opted to leave without the requested loaded side. The prices are great and the portions are generous . I would love to try more of the menu! We I'll probably go back, maybe just at a different location or not around dinner time. It was a pleasant experience. If it were not for our server, my review would be a bit more critical.
