Two stars because when I get food, it's delicious, but the shakes, or blasts as they call them, are on my last nerve. I've gotten more than one with a handful of candy on top, but no candy throughout. I originally called the store and asked the manager if that was normal, he apologized and I went back for a replacement which was made correctly (candy throughout). I went back like a month or so later and the same thing happened. I didn't bother going back for a replacement or calling. Today I went through the drive thru, wend I asked before I ordered of the can't went throughout asmr it was confirmed that candy went through the whole shake so I ordered one. Once again, only a small handful on top, and as I dig in, nothing but ice cream. Sonic blasts are delicious. I wish sonic actually made them and sold them read more

Love Sonic happy hour, but you failed. 2 large limeade slushes and one cherry limeade with Coke. Guy who took the order said he's have to make it. Ok. That's your job! Double checked when we paid. 2 large limeade slushes and a cherry limeade with coke.... Ok. Get the drinks. Dive off. Daughter says. There's no Coke in my drink. Thanks. read more

Sonic Drive-In - blue raspberry slush + nerds - Burgers Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

Perfect place to go if you're eating alone which I seem to be doing a lot... nobody will judge you. They have so many options, I am not sonic expert but I like what I like! Look out for 50¢ corn dog days those are a must. I also really really like the mozzarella sticks, tator tots, and chicken nuggets. Lime slush is my go to drink. Oh and if you're ordering at one of the little stations do not forget to ask for condiments + marinara sauce, they don't just assume they know what you want! read more

Alright, so Sonic isn't exactly a classy place, nor is it anything special. But this was the first time that I've ever went to one before, and it was decent enough to want to review it, so here it is! We decided to stop here on the way to Trader Joe's, so we sat and ate it in our car. They have these neat little car ports if you will, where you can pull up and order, and then they deliver your food to you on roller skates. Not a job I could do as I would undoubtedly fall and get milk shake all over everywhere. --Food: We both ordered Crispy Chicken Tenders and Fries. I had mine with a side of Honey Mustard and she had her's with BBQ. The chicken was super crunchy and rather tasty. The fries were alright, nothing spectacular, but not bad either. The dipping sauce was good, but we only got one packet each, and with 5 tenders and an order of fries, it's not really enough. The combos we got also came with a drink or choice, and we both got a type of limeade. I went with a plain ole' original Limeade, which was tasty and refreshing, and she had a cherry limeade, which was also good and more cherryer. Cherrier. Cherryer? More cherry. --Cost: If it weren't for the price, I probably would be more inclined to give the Sonic a 3, but let's face it, $14 for two large combos with chicken tenders, fries, and a choice of specialty drink really is quite affordable. I've paid more for less. --Atmosphere: There is a place to sit down with about 7 tables outside, about 10 or so carports, and a drive through lane. No indoor seating. It is located right behind Home Depot in the nicer part of Short Pump. --Service: No complaints. Our food was delivered to us in Roller Skates. I have a hard enough time not delivering food on Roller Skates. --Overall: This was my first time at a Sonic, and probably not my last. Nothing spectacular, but no reason not to want to return either. Good drive through experience! read more

Don't be in rush for anything fast. Lady taking drive thru orders is very short with you and unpleasant. Mediocre food. Should've gotten a Big Mac next door. read more

Just had a really crappy experience. We waited 15 minutes to actually have some one take our order. Then we waited another 40 minutes before out food came out cold. It looks like it is being run by teenagers. I called to ask what the problem was and the kid- he said he was a manager- hung up on me. I guess I have to find another lace to eat. read more

I would give this place a zero star but since that doesn't exist I will give this a one star I wanted a slushy but the machine was broken and this was after 3 hours of volunteering at shalom farms it was broken and my day is ruined I am never coming back to this trash dump of a place read more

Sonic Drive-In - here r those little c*nts - Burgers Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

You guys get two stars because I always have to pull your legs to get some ketchup, one packet is not enough for anyone to do anything with and everyone knows it. Maybe if you didn't brand it with your name you wouldn't have to pay so much for something you give away for free and y'all would not have to act like y'all are doing us a favor by giving us ketchup packets. read more

Great Burgers with the best bang for your buck, and the customer service was great, although they could improve on the sauce policy but other than that it's great read more

Nothing Sonic - or fast - or quick about this location at all. 15mins for a sandwich & 3 cinnasticks. Do better.

I always order through the Sonic app, but my order is still wrong 9 times out of 10. I'm not picky enough to not eat whatever they decide to throw in my bag, but I'd enjoy getting what I ordered more often. read more

Just gross! As usual! Food always cold, one onion ring in my box! tenders smell like they have been rotting, they look horrible! And the food taste horrible! A waste of money and time off my lunch break! read more

This is not the first time I have had issues with this sonic. I drive 30+ mins just to order food from there. I went to sonic and pulled in the stall ordered the food, it said it would be ready by 9:51-9:57. I was like okay well I'm already here so I checked in like it told me to.. they brought out the food no drinks so I asked if he was bringing the rest back. He said yes. I waited 5 mins until I hit the button for assistance. The first man I did not understand. The Second Lady I could barely understand, and she told me I had to pull around to the front door. I was like why ? She proceeds to tell me that they don't have anyone to bring stuff out to cars after 10. (At this time it was exactly 10... ) I said "why do I need to go all the way around the building and get out of my car to get my drinks when he brought out my food already. I was here before the time said it was going to be ready and I have to get out my car ?!?!? That was the whole point of me doing that, so that I did not have to get out of my car..." she tells me I have to either come to the door or get in the drive through line. ( Which had 6 cars in the line) I pull around the building trying to calm my anger, park in the parking spot, and walk up to the door. There is already a man standing there arguing with a lady. There is a guy taking out the trash and asked what did I need? I told him I was picking up my drinks. He goes inside for a minute and then comes back out. Says it'll be out in a minute. ( which frustrates me because they should've already been ready !!) after the Hispanic lady finishes arguing with the guy and he walks away. She asked me what I needed so I told her I was picking up my drinks as I'm talking to her explaining the whole situation and how I'm frustrated someone brings out my drinks. All I get from her is a "oh ! I'll talk to him about it." I didn't even get an. I'm sorry or anything so I just simply told her this is not the first time I've had an issue here and I will no longer be coming back. Wish I could give 0 stars ‍ Their service sucks all around ! read more

Best Sonic I have ever been too! My friend and I stopped to get some food in the drive up section. We ordered our food and expected it to take a lot longer than it actually did. The food was perfect! Keep doing what y'all are doing:) read more

We came at 9:15 they close at 11pm and we could see two workers inside. No one answered the speaker and we waited. We when through again and waited. No answer. read more

Sonics popcorn chicken was good enough to slap the cook in the face! I had some "tots" too..couldn't stop thinking of napoleon dynamite (dude my tots) lol!! I planned on getting a shake.. but forgot when it came time to order. The menu board was impressive but a lot to take in. I loved how easy it was to order and no lines to wait!! The best part ...seeing the server come rolling over on skates without dropping my food off the tray! Now that's impressive! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

Happy Hour!! Happy Hour!! Happy Hour!! No, I'm not talking about any alcoholic beverages. Every day from 2PM-4PM is happy hour at Sonic. All drinks are 50% off. If you like limeades, slushes, etc then bring the entire family for happy hour. Sonic also offers large drinks for 99 cents before 10AM daily. Sonic also offers food such as hot dogs, burgers, chicken tenders, etc. Let's not forget that they offer breakfast as well. The drive thru is usually crowded but the patio and stalls for ordering tend to be faster than the drive thru. read more

Worst service broken down order pull up to self serve kiosks not Deaf/deaf or HOH friendly either. Twice in the past month I went bc in the past we loved their shakes and burgers but the last two times were awful. Wrong food and drinks and I mean everything the first time. We drove off they were busy. By the time we realized we were too far away. We tried again yesterday hoping we had a bad crew but nope, first we tried to order ourselves but they could not hear us and said get in line. So back to the end of the line we went. Then we had a simple order but as we came up to the order speaker every time I spoke they would talk real fast and say is it that after each item before I could even complete my sentence. I told them I have Cochlear implants and am deaf but can hear but I hoh even with my processors on and needed them to let me finish my order before asking after each item. This did not change after getting up to the car behind the window out comes the same guy who did this same thing last time and he remembered me and I said what do you need he mumbled something went back inside. Got to the window there he was. I said you remember me? He did not speak. I said last time I bought $33.00 of food and got $15 nothing I ordered was right. Again he did not speak. I said can you get a manager he did, another kid. I ask this kid to repeat my order and surprisingly It was right. We check the order paid and left but no offer to reimburse me from the last order. When we got home the two blast were wrong again. We will not be back. read more

If I could give a 0 I would. Stopped by on a relatively slow Monday afternoon (03/07/2021 around 2 pm) for some food. As I was in the drive thru, I could tell the car in front of us was upset with whoever was working at the window. We initially felt bad for whoever who was there but once we went to get our order it was apparent why the previous customer had been upset. Our order had a few issues . The drinks ( L cherry limeade & M strawberry lemonade) were wrong. We mentioned it to her and she said no she only had two medium drinks, a cherry limeade and a strawberry lemonade. We said OK that's fine but both of the drinks have lime in them. She said "yeah a cherry and strawberry limeade" when she had literally just said something else. We corrected her and she eventually took the drink back and remade the strawberry lemonade. OK. No big deal. When my husband received his food he asked for some ketchup and was told it was in the bag. He looks and see 1 packet so he asks for some more ketchup. She says "you never asked for ketchup" and he's like yes I did and you just told me it's in the bag. She then says "you asked just now". Needless to say her whole demeanor was just rude and nonchalant. Obviously people make mistakes and that's fine but the fact that she kept arguing about the mistakes instead of just acknowledging it and fixing it didn't sit right with us. It apparently didn't sit right with the person in front of us either as they returned their entire order and left. read more

Stopped here for lunch while out in the Short Pump area, mostly for nostalgic purposes, and to see if the sweet potato tots were still happening so i could try them. Ordered a burger, popcorn chicken and tots. Burger looked sad and unimpressive--tasted okay, but not spectacular. It looked like a shitty McDonald's burger circa the 90s. Popcorn chicken was alright, but the tots--my main hankering--were terrible. There was crunch, yes, but absolutely tasteless and unenjoyable. Use to go to Sonic all the time as a kid in the summer for slushies and limeades, and the tots, etc. They have a happy hour from 2-4 where drinks are half off. Didn't order any slushies at this visit, so I don't know if those still rule supreme. But I've learned my lesson: don't order food from Sonic, especially the tots. If I ever return I'll just stick to slushies. read more

Sonic is a decent spot for some fast food. It was a nice day so I figured we'd go sit outside at Sonic and eat. I had the crispy chicken wrap and tater tots and it was decent. I also had the fried Oreos with ice cream, which is their special, and it was really good!! It was $11 for all that, which wasn't too bad. The staff there was pretty friendly, too. It was a pretty decent time at sonic! read more

For starters, I am not too much of the "drive thru" fan; however, sonic does have really good ice. THATS RIGHT, i said it, ICE. Beside that, the drink and dessert selection is very broad. Last time i went i got cheese fries which wasn't what they are all cracked up to be. Next time i'll be sure to take a picture. read more

Unbelievably bad service, that gets worse with each visit and state. It's amazing that this company is still in business. Not sure if they even train their employees. Zero people skills. Not sure if the ice is even worth it anymore! No no no no no read more

If you are looking for fast food in Short Pump, Sonic is a good choice. Sonic is located a couple of blocks from the Short Pump Mall.Sonic has a variety of items on their menu. Sonic have French toast sticks to burgers. You can order breakfast all day. The breakfast is my favorite. The flavored drinks are tasty. You can add fruit flavors to any drink on the menu. The burgers and chili cheese tots are solid. I usually dont like fast food restuarant milkshakes but Sonic milkshakes are good. Sonic has a walk up window, drive-thru and sections where you park to order from your vehicle. This location is busy on weekend nights (Fri & Sat).The service is fast. The staff always calls your order back to you to make sure its right. The employees are friendly. If you want fast food, you can't go wrong with Sonic. read more

Sonic Drive-In - My Cheesecake Bites with Strawberry sauce @Sonic. - Burgers Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

New location! I am happy to see a Sonic close to my work, there was a time when Sonic was a road trip away. We parked and ordered from the board, though there are plenty of spaces to pull up and order. I got the Crispy Chicken sandwich and I liked it. Very simple (mayo, lettuce, tomato) but it hit the spot. Ryan (my constant companion) got the Texas Toast burger, with beer battered onion rings and BBQ sauce. Major sandwich envy. Tots on the side, which were like little hash brown bites, crunchy, warm and salty. When the server brought our food he pretended part of our order was missing, smiling big to let on he was joking. A little awkward... The tables out front are a nice alternative to eating in your car, even if it was a bit cold. The food warms you up! :) read more

Couldn't find any jack in the box in VA! I am used to ordering breakfast for lunch. Glad I found Sonic! 5-stars.

Ah.... Diet strawberry limeade... I love you! I should really remember how much I love it... and STOP getting a medium! I "housed" that thing! Route 44 it is, next time. Sonic is like the fast food Holy Grail, not because it is any better than the others, but because we don't have one in NoVa - yet they continue to play those teasing commercials! Well... and because it really IS better than all the others. Smooth transaction, beverages only... everything was as it should be. ... except for the guy in front of us who ordered enough to feed a frat house! read more

Don't go to sonic if you need drive thru service. This is not their strength. Great place if you are going to park to get food. The drive in menu font is too small to read. The servers are rude and not helpful when you point that out and ask for help. Service is extremely slow. It would be faster to park, order, let them bring your food and you take it to go. BTW...try calling the customer support number to give feedback. There were so many options, I gave up and decided to post my comments here. If they truly wanted customer feedback, they would make it easier to provide. Thank you YELP!!!! read more

Who doesn't like fast food brought to their car by a skating carhop? :-) The new location on Broad St is much more convenient to go to, so I have been a few times. With all of the different flavor combinations of drinks available it's impossible to find something you don't like. I like that they cycle their menu with key new items every so often. But I do wish they would bring back the sweet potato tots to Sonic!! They have everything you could expect from a drive-in food joint: from burgers, fries, and the normal fried/greasy fare, to sandwiches, burritos, breakfast fare and milkshakes. The Chipotle Breakfast burrito was the business! The price is always right, and the food always comes out quick. read more

It's usually pretty good, but here's a tip: watch out for the servers because they do not mind rolling out in front of moving cars.

The best thing about this Sonic is that it's fast, both when you pull up and when you go through the drive thru. The carhops on skates help. The only negative experience I've had here is that they put about 9 million ounces of caramel syrup in my iced coffee one morning which rendered it undrinkable. I like sugar, but it was unbearable. Unfortunately, I was in the drive thru and not the other side so by the time I tried it, I was too far gone to turn around. Living in NoVa, I make sure to stop here every time I'm in Richmond. Love you, Sonic. :) read more

You know, sometimes I'm just in the mood for Sonic. Be it that poppy seed hot dog bun, a huge burger with onion rings on texas toast, or that ocean water, sometimes you just need a sonic. I visited last night for this same fix and got it. Just what I expected, with one fatal flaw: sweet potato tots are no more... Don't let this sway you though, as it did not sway me. My review would be 3 stars either way. Ended up getting the #3 - half pound burger with cheese sticks. Pricey for fast food, just over $7.00 - but man was I full. The fiance got regular tots, but asked for them well done. Believe it or not, they actually came nice and crispy, well done. Okay Sonic, I'll raise you one star.... But they can never remember the condiments. I specifically asked for katchup and honey mustard for the fiance's chicken tenders and they forgot, had to push the button again. This is a frequent occurrence (DO NOT DRIVE AWAY UNTIL YOU CHECK YOU BAG). Sorry Sonic, back to three stars. But I will see you next time I need that greesy, cheesy, poppy seed, taste bud awakening fast food meal. read more

Never had a problem here. Quick service with nice workers. Prices can be a little pricey for fast food but food is good enough. Addicted to the cherry limeade slushee so I have to make sure I come during happy hour to get 50% off. Happy hour makes it all worth it :) read more

Let's face it, if you're going to do fast food (and I usually don't), Sonic is the bee's knees. All the same prices as your basic chain joint, but the food, in my opinion, is significantly better. I visited the new location in Short Pump yesterday and was first in awe of how juicy my cheeseburger was. A fast food cheeseburger in a foil wrapper was LITERALLY dripping. YUM. That never happens (unless you go to Five Guys, but that's another review). I love all the choices and everything is good! Good chili on the Coney Dog, tasty tots, fresh onion rings. I love all the flavors you can add to your soda, and the way you can mix up milkshake flavors for a combo milkshake. KIds will love watching the carhops roller skate over with meals. My daughter continually talked about how much she LOVED eating in the car. For a tasty, quick meal that's a little quirky and fun, stop through Sonic. The food at the new location was fresh, well-made, speedy, and affordable. read more

Service...FAST, food...BOMB, I highly recommend this sonic its the best food I've ever received from a sonic

There's almost always a problem with my order. The drive-up service is not a reliable speed. I've ordered a lot and gotten my food in 5 minutes, and I've ordered a milkshake and it's taken over 20 minutes. I honestly don't know why I continue to go back. If there's an issue with your order and you paid thru the app, you have to call customer service for a refund because the restaurant says they can't help you with any app orders or issues. read more

Arthur Has really upped & improved the food quality served, seems as though team morale when we Drive up has also improved; before that quality and service was very inconsistent read more

Decided to grab some dinner here with the family. This Sonic is fairly new and I have fond memories of Sonic from my high school days so why not introduce the next generation! Since we had two cars with us (different story), we decided to eat at the picnic tables they have out front. This method did make it easier for each of the kids to figure out what they wanted before we placed our order, always a struggle with kids! placing the order was easy and they took it accurately. My favorite part of the order process is being able to pay with my debit card at the screen, saves having to deal directly with the server. When the food arrived, one of the orders was wrong (brought a single burger when I ordered a double). They quickly fixed it and brought out the correct sandwich, all with a friendly demeanor. Later in the meal, they somehow wound up with an extra chocolate shake so they brought it out to us and asked if we wanted it. I thought that was very considerate of them. Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was pretty good for a fast food establishment. We'll definitely be back if we find ourselves in the area again. read more
