    The time it takes at this fast food joint, especially when ordered ahead is ridiculous. Fifteen minutes for which I saw my order attempting to be delivered to the wrong stall I call out the window to which I receive no reply and then watch it return to the kitchen to sit while 5 other order are delivered. I was able to flag down the carhop to which I was told my food wasn't ready yet. I ordered tots. TOTS! Ehich 3 more orders were delivered and then my order. Which was at that point cold. And the slush was a third the way melted ... So. Struggle bus a bit here... The lot was clean and car stalls were cleared. The pickle slush was interesting. Kinda refreshing but salty and a bit sweet. I didn't love it. I didn't hate it. May try it again with someone adventurous. But I was NOT expecting that pickle to have such a kick of spice! The tits were scattered with a sprinkle of dill. Not worth the extra money, the wait or the cold factor.

    I hate to give any food establishment a 1 or 2 in these times. I was nostalgic for the Sonics from my former state, and decided to swing in for a burger. Years ago, my fave thing about Sonic was that I didn't ever have to say "no this, no that, or add mustard." I could order by number and get exactly what I wanted. That feature is long gone. The order took quite awhile, but many places are short staffed--I don't take away stars for that. The gentleman who took the order was friendly and when delivering to the car he apologized for the wait. The unsweetened iced tea was fine. The fries were mostly cold (I tossed these). The burger was less than "nothing special." The bun wasn't fresh and the lettuce and tomato even less so. As a positive mention, the bacon was crispy. However, there was very little. As you can see from the pic, I wasn't certain they actually added cheese. They did, but it was all on half the burger. All in all a disappointment.

    I asked for Sonics special sauce.  He said, "apparently we don't have that anymore" I just got some yesterday at the Summerville

    I e been coming here for years. It's had its ups and downs. Today was a quick trip Ordered a milkshake for my daughter who had oral surgery today and a Chicken Slinger for me with extra pickles and Sonic Special Sauce. It came with 2 pickles and 2 tiny dabs of mayo. I just tapped the order button and asked for special, I didn't complain because I know they're short staffed. He said, and I quote, "apparently we don't have that anymore" I just got some yesterday at the Summerville Sonic. $2.79 for this? Oh well I tried to give this location another chance !

    Do not come here if you're in a hurry. There isn't anything fast about it. 20 minutes for 1 sandwich, 1 order of tots and 1 drink.

Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert. I would probably come back here again, but not so late at night so there would be fresher cake with more options available.

We waited about 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while two employees stood nearby. The two layer chocolate caramel pecan cake, which our waitress initially could not find, was dry and tasted stale. I would not order it again. The Tollhouse pie was a bit better, but the presentation and the whipped cream were the standouts, and the whipped cream wasn't even homemade! That's the best thing I could say about our experience. The food, pricing, service, and ambiance all fell below average. When you are located downtown with so many great dessert options around, you really need to step up your game. We will not be returning.

They should probably change their hours if they don't want to stay open until they're supposed to close. Update: Owner replied saying this was a lie, but in fact it is not. I wouldn't make something like this up, if you look at all my previous reviews most are 5 stars. I don't like giving bad reviews. Downgraded stars to 1 since instead of taking accountability for the store, she replied negatively. Sorry you don't like my review, but it's honest. Also, I used to be a waitress and would never go to restaurants at closing time. And I never expect special treatment for anything - that would be ridiculous.

I received an enormous amount of good cheer, plus four samples which I did not ask for before ordering a cinnamon spice combination. The bubble waffle was fresh and delivered an excellent texture contrast (the liege waffles, I was told, were not cooked fresh). The combination of toppings delivered plenty of the promised sugar and spice flavor, though I kind of wished I'd gotten something with more fruit. Anyway, I'm not convinced it's world-beating, but it was a fun experience.

Before I tried anything, I learned that they source ingredients locally including the strawberries and cream from local farms. I was also really pleased to learn that they minimized added sugars which is another big win in my book. On to the product itself -- I tried both the Banana Pudding and Strawberry Cheesecake bars. They were fantastic. Truly they tasted fresh and had just the right amount of sweetness. I greatly thank the Wich Cream team for coming out to our neighborhood. From the feedback I heard, everyone who tried their ice cream was a fan.

They are handmade in North Charleston and sold at several restaurants around the low country. The first time I ever tried one was from a food cart at the Charleston farmers market and I've been hooked ever since! They have different seasonal flavors because all of their ingredients are locally sourced from the milk to the berries. My favorite I have ever tried is their strawberry though a tried and true is the chocolate, it is so creamy! The texture of the sandwiches are unique and what keeps bringing me back over and over. The sandwich part is almost a little gritty but still soft and chewy, almost as if it were made from almond meal though it is not. This past sandwich I got was blueberry Cheri and though good it was not as flavorful as others I've had. I could see where they were going by adding chamomile but it just wasn't enough. I would recommend a different flavor to try, though if they were to have the sandwich part lemon flavored with blueberry ice cream it would be amazing! Overall if you see a restaurant or shop selling these pick one up. Though they are a bit pricy at $4-5 they are totally worth it!
