This is our regular sonic, or it was. When we first started coming here 2 years ago, it was fine. Then it got worse and worse and worse til now it isn't even worth looking at when driving by. The last 4 times, the order has been wrong, the food has been cold or low quality, and it just has been awful. Which kind of stinks cause we love sonic and there isn't another one close by. Whoever is running this location has progressively run it into the ground with high turnover and bad management. The focus seems to be solely on the drive through, if you come, don't do the drive in. read more

Impressive that all 3 meals managed to come out way over microwaved. When your toddler usually eats everything but says no to a corn dog and chicken tenders, that is saying something. 1st and absolute last visit to the Frederick location. Period. read more

*Gasps and diggs nails into bf's arm* OMG LOOK OVER THERE!!!!!!!!!! That was my reaction when we were heading home on Buckeystown Pike and I glanced up to see the shining beacon called Sonic on my left. I don't know what the people of Frederick have done to deserve a delicious Sonic but I am forever thankful. The drive-thru line on Friday night wrapped around the parking lot. I timed the wait on my phone and it was almost 27 minutes from the moment we got in line until we got our food. Best 27 minutes I ever spent. We even got a perfect view of the fireworks at the Keys game. My cheeseburger was just the right size for dinner, even if it was a bit cold. I didn't care because I came for the tots. Those crispy, golden bites of heaven I can't get enough of. Mmmmmm. Did I mention shakes are half off after 8 p.m.? You're welcome. read more

Good late night munchies. Came here and got a Oreo milkshake and the side of mozzarella sticks. Basic fast food but sonic is good once in a while. Also, the milkshakes are half off so it's pretty cheap. Chicken sandwich looks pretty solid too. read more

Checked and made sure they were open, ordered online through the app where it stated they were open. Drove 15 minutes to sonic to find out there were closed 2 hours early and didn't place anything anywhere stating that. It also took my money through the app. I called the location 3 times and never got an answer just a bunch of screeching noises. If you are going to close early. Update your stuff so people don't drive all the way to find out you are closed when it says online you should be open. read more

This place is awfully slow. We've been here enough times that I can confidently, but with the greatest regret, give it only one star. The food takes forever. It has always got something wrong with it and each time at least one persons food was cold. It's such a bummer. We want to love you sonic but your hurting my heart! We can't even come for a nice cold ice creamy treat because it takes at least 20 minutes after you place your order. So not fast food. Super sad! read more

My husband and I decided to go hiking and that he would take me to Sonic afterwards since I have never been. First, I the young lady taking our order was not fully paying attention to us, she would stop talking and then apologize and take the order. She apologized so I was fine. We were watching the screen on the status of our order and then it disappears. We waited a total of 30 min for our food. After hiking 8 miles we were starving, so my husband decided to go in to ask what is taking so long. The manager immediately brought it out to us, we bit into it, it was cold. Our food had just been sitting there..we saw a number of employees going in and out and I am curious to know how many people walked passed it and no one picked up on why an order was still sitting there. My husband felt bad this was my first Sonic experience and he was really irritated. Definitely not coming back read more

Do me a favor. Next time to you go to Sonic in Frederick, just TRY to order a #2 double cheeseburger with NO CHEESE. Just for laughs. Say it three to five different ways and double check that they heard you correctly. 95% of the time, they get this wrong. I know it doesn't help that my kid LOVES Sonic double burgers PLAIN with nothing but ketchup. I get that is a weird order. It's just bun, meat and ketchup and I OFTEN tell them that I understand that it is a weird order. Nothing helps. I emailed corporate. NOTHING HELPS. I hate that he loves this place so much...but it's his favorite. In the past, I've even asked a manager what I should do to make it plainer. Today, I said it three different ways (No cheese. Seriously, bun/meat/ketchup. Did you get that? NO CHEESE. She said that she got it. She didn't "got it".) When I received the burger, there was the cheese...just mocking me. I handed it back, showing her the cheese. The window waitress said, "Oh. You wanted no cheese?" My friend in the passenger seat had her mouth agape. Sigh. I need divine intervention. There is just no help to be had here. read more

My husband and I ordered an American hotdog combo with tater tots as well as popcorn chicken with tater tots, a cherry limeade and diet Dr. Pepper. The hotdog was just ok and barely warm, the popcorn nuggets were so hard they could not be chewed and the tater tots were loaded with grease and barely warm. The Dr. Pepper didn't taste right and neither did the cherry limeade. Will not be returning to this Sonic. We should have not proceeded with eating there when we drove up at 6:45pm and the drive up lot was completely closed and the lights were all out everywhere. The drive up window was the only thing open. Very sad because Sonic has always been great in the past. With the low 2-star overall rating, sounds like they need new management! read more

Extremely slow drive thru , orders from cars behind me were leaving while I still sat at the window waiting. Won't be going back

Read the reviews! Horrible. Waited 45 minutes to get our food that was wrong. Cheeseburgers had so much onions that you couldn't even taste anything else Drove 40 minutes since there's not one around and was such a complete waste of time. Never again. read more

Stopped at Sonic this weekend while running errands, just wanted a drink with extra ice ... because honestly who doesn't like Sonic ice?! Ordered an unsweet ice tea with extra ice. When the young woman brought the drink out I asked for some extra ice (the cup wasn't even halfway full & that's what I had initially requested) to which she responded "yup, for 53 cents". I was taken aback by this and told her I had initially asked for more ice than drink (seems to be a fair trade off from a financial stand point). She begrudgingly went back in and got a cup of ice, brought it to the car and very sarcastically said "here's your extra ice, it's on the house". You would thought I was asking for her to move a damn mountain for me. Granted, I don't mind paying if that's their policy but I could do without the attitude and snark from an employee. read more

This sonic, specifically, was a big disappointment. Me and my friend decided we wanted some sonic because we love sonic. We get there an the bays were not open understandable because there was still a little bit of snow on the ground. Me and my friend order the chicken sandwich and first off it was the size of a McChicken and cost like 3x as much as a McChicken. Next our drinks were flat because there was something wrong with there machine that they did not tell us before we bought them. Lastly, we try to get milkshakes but there machine is down. Overall just a terribly run sonic and i wouldn't recommend it to a stray dog on his final moments of starvation. read more

I've never had a bad experience at Sonic until this one. I had two drinks, a burger, and tator tots. Something that has taken less than 8 mins to get took 25!. On top of it they didn't even have it ready and forgot what I ordered. Had to re-order at the window after I already paid. If I hadn't I would have left. They need a new manager and more mature/competent individuals working there. Never going back there. read more

Love Sonic! Never had a bad experience here! Only problem is I wish there was one closer to where I live!

This location is terrible...well, maybe Sonic is just terrible. Idk. I've been here twice and experienced extremely long wait times and poor quality food. The first time the popcorn chicken was overcooked, the fries were cold and the girl never brought my sauce. The second time I ordered the same thing and it was the same issue, however I mentioned the issue to the server and he had a new order made for me. Both times had an average wait time of around 20 minutes. I always thought Sonic was much better than this, but I think it was more of just the novelty hype. read more

My husband and I travel for work, we are usually hours from home, and we are always excited when we go through Frederick because we get to have Sonic. We live in Virginia and there is no Sonic near us. Sonic not only gives us a good place to rest from driving while we eat at the drive-in, but the Frederick location has always had exceptional service and the food is always hot! We just pulled away from the restaurant, after having our dinner at 10:34 pm, and customer service was exceptional. Even late at night the employee that served us had a positive attitude. In all our travels, the Sonic here is our favorite. read more

This place has gone down hill since it opened. We no longer get food here because of how bad it has become. We only go there now for drinks. However, they can't even get those right. This past visit we asked for two large grape cream slushes and a small cherry slush. First it took 15 mins once we came to the drive thru window for 3 drinks. Second, they had the sizes wrong. Third, there was barely any grape flavor or slush in the large grape cream slushes. Finally, they forgot to give us the cherry slush. Bad food, wrong orders, and bad service. Do yourself a favor a skip your next trip to this place. It's not worth it. read more

Stopped at Sonic for lunch and placed an order at a drive in spot. Several minutes later, two additional cars pulled in next to us, and they placed their orders. Within 10 minutes both of those car got their orders. I called over one of the carhops and explained the problem... no food delivered but paid for. After 10 minutes nothing had happened, so my wife went to the door and asked about it, and she returned shortly thereafter with someone carrying our order. We opened it, discovered the burger was overcooked. Also, no sauces were included (but had been ordered), including ketchup, and the tater tots had been smashed. read more

no gloves when going from car to car to collect payment and deliver food in drive thru! masks worn but not covering nose on at least 4 employees. want tots with that covid 19???? read more

i went to this sonic the night before and i had ordered the garlic butter burger and it was really good so i decided to go back the next day. come to my surprise, when i was half way done with my burger and found this curly hair in my burger. gross! read more

I'm only here to say that if the service seems to not have any chance of improving...... BRING BACK THE SKATES. I'd rather be entertained/amazed when receiving my order. Not sure if it's just this Sonic but I've never seen so many bad reviews. I'm really upset that I've ordered and for some reason the one time I order actual food instead for drinks only... my fries came out old AND cold. Especially after the long wait I'd rather just go on about my day. read more

no ice cream on Sunday night hour before close. Don't waste your time. Go to Mc Donald's

The milkshake I had was not drinkable was spoiled and taste like raw milk all the syrup was sitting at the bottom of the cup and was not mixed well. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite and didn't work out so much. It took a very long time to get our food once the order was finally taking and the guy that took the order Colin was apparently having a bad day and was not shy about letting his feelings known. After a bit of a struggle with the order it finally came out the food was pretty average and might have earned this place one more star if it was for the staffs obvious attitude troubles. If I was ever in the area again and I was starving I think I'd rather just go hungry unless they got their customer service game on point. read more

waited almost 30 minutes for fried cookie dough, saw other orders being given out before ours. Seems like their understaffed, with as many homeless people as they have you'd think they could hire more people. read more

Horrible service, drive-thru ordering is rushed so they don't get your order correct. This has happened more than once. Food is poor quality--onion rings were soggy as if they'd been sitting in the bin for hours! Very disappointing! read more

Embarrassing. Ordered chicken strips and got what looked like overcooked/dried fried fish. Fry oil definitely needs to be changed, "chicken" smelled like rancid old oil. read more

Oh wow. They have really gone downhill. We ordered in the app, 2 sonic double bacon cheeseburgers one with tator tots, one with an onion ring. Both burgers came without bacon, we sent them back and asked for the bacon-this resulted in two sad, burnt pieces of bacon. I took my bacon off. My husband asked for his burger without ketchup or mustard and only lettuce, pickles and onion only no sauce. It came out wrong the first time with ketchup and mustard and no bacon. They remade it and transferred the original patties with mustard still on them to a new bun and still added ketchup and forgot the bacon. So he sent it back for the third time and it was corrected but the bacon was also burnt like mine. The onion rings that I ordered came out in one, lump of an onion ring. They were also very chewy. So I asked for new onion rings...they microwaved the lump and separated it a bit. Needless to say I didn't eat them. My husband tots were only half full when they came out. I mean this is ridiculous. We shouldn't have to send our order back 5 times for it to be "correct". We will not be back. Do not go here. I've been several times before and it was always fine and pretty decent-I definitely will not be back. read more

I don't understand!! Customer Service is awful at this place!!!!! I ordered 2 drinks!! 2 drinks why are I waiting over 30 mins for 2 drinks!!?!!??? AWFUL!!!!! read more

OMG the Sonic on Buckeystown appeared ok on the outside until I went in to get my food. I waited and waited for my order then just went and parked. I walked in the place and it looked disgusting, not just disgusting but unhygienic. There was food on the floor. Some significant amount of fluid snaking its way to the drain. Broken and torn up boxes littered the area. I guess if you want to eat fast food you have to be prepared to suffer the consequences. read more

I figured I'd write this review while I'm here... ive been to this sonic a few times before... the first time they messed up our order, now I actually ordered at 2:45, im still waiting for my food at 3:50.... sitting here currently.... I was told it would be a 25 minute wait that I agreed upon... now that it's been over an hour I'm pretty upset... I pressed the call button to check on my order once at the 45 min mark and pressed it again 5 mins ago to see if anybody would be able to give me a time on my order but they wouldn't even pick up... yeah.... not good... The people around me who came after me all got their orders, theyre all getting their call buttons answered and we're the only ones who haven't gotten their food... Wait, they just told us our order "didn't come through" and asked if we wanted to order AGAIN... After paying for the first one and waiting for over an hour.... AND they LIED to me saying that my order would be out shortly the first time I called in.... Although a younger guy worker was very nice to check in for us, got us our refund and was extremely professional about getting us an order so thank you! read more

This is my first time going to Sonic, and I thought it was pretty okay. It has a pretty cool drive in aspect. I heard ocean water and cherry limeade were good, so I gave it a shot, but i thought it tasted like normal sprite with a hint of coconut (for ocean water) and cherry (for cherry limeade). It didn't taste that much different from each other. What I did enjoy was my friend's coconut cream milkshake and the chili cheese tater tots! Those were pretty enjoyable to have and they actually had some flavor. I think next time I come, I will definitely try more of their milkshakes over their other carbonated drinks. read more

I took my son to sonic he ordered a milkshake. I heard one of the workers say oh there's a hair in the milkshake she proceeded to take the milkshake to the other side of the machine take out the hair I believe with her fingers and then give it to me. When I told them that I was not taking that because there was a hair in it and they took it out they looked so surprised that I heard. We will not be going back very disgusted.. read more

They are the worst. Ordered mobile and they gave it to the wrong car. Then told me they would remake it. Waited 30 more minutes before I joined the drive through since they are apparently getting their orders expeditiously! These dumb people didn't have enough sense to prioritize remaking my food versus taking and making new orders. If I had no paid on the mobile app I would have drove the hell off read more

First of all, the food was cold and the cheese wasn't even melted. I ordered a cheeseburger and they barely gave me any lettuce. Also, the cheesestakes I ordered where not heated properly. Worst cheesesteak i've ever had. Never EVER going back. Terrible experience read more

Delicious crunchy tater tots, good burgers and yummy affordable desserts (shakes and concretes). I liked their good-sized boneless chicken wings Sweet Sesame flavor but the Asian Sweet Chili wasn't that good. It comes with ranch dipping sauce. read more

Love, Love, LOVE Sonic! Hot dogs are superb, hamburgers are just right but the flavored lemonade is my fav! I stopped at kfc and paid $5 for cole slaw for hot dogs... please put it on menu!!! read more

I don't normally eat much fast food but the commercials with the little chubby kid got to me. Like others before me, I sat in line for quite some time before finding a way out of line. But for the time I was there all I saw was chaos. And masks being worn improperly. I would be interested in knowing who the franchise owner is because Sonic franchises don't come cheap. This place is horribly mismanaged. read more

Love their Strawberry Limeade and the make your own drink combination options. They offer half priced drinks and slushes from 2-4pm. read more
