I have been to Sonic I think 1 other time. I rarely go to fast food places but when I do it's usually McDonalds for a McFlurry ice cream treat. Anyway I've been bombarded with advertisements promoting theeee Oreo's Alamode for a little bit so I thought I would give it a try. On the commercial I thought I remembered the ice cream being larger. Wishful thinking? Selective memory? 10/9/19 at around 1:40 I went through the drive through. There were only 2 cars ahead of me and it seemed to take a while. I was on lunch break and had shopped at my nearby Aldi and Sonic is conveniently located nearby. When I got my ala mode I thought "is this a joke?!" A very very very very (did I say very?!) small ice cream portion and in a separate bag 3 hot battered fried and not greasy Oreos. When I got home I unpacked my Aldi groceries and enjoyed the dessert immensely. Although the ice cream was small it was thick and seemed to be decent quality vanilla ice cream. The Oreos were hot and luscious with meaty cream filling in the center. Ohh so good! I loved the dessert and for a whopping 3.17 it's in my price point. I got my "Oreo alamode fix" and though I enjoyed it I don't see myself rushing back to Sonic. A very indulgent treat and so good for a dessert enthusiast like myself. read more

I'm truly perplexed how this place has managed to remain in business ! Truly the slowest "fast food" trash can! Food takes forever is finally brought to you cold old and greasy lettuce so old and brown eating it would cause you diarrhea! Do yourself a favor avoid this little hell hole ! read more

What can they improve... Where do I start... The management is absolutely terrible. They always make everyone go through the drive thru rather than the drive up spaces to order. Seems to be pure laziness even when multiple people are working. It kind of ruins the experience because we want to whole old school pull up and order and have it brought out. If we wanted to go through the drive thru we would go somewhere with better tasting food. Grilled cheese is more like a stale half melted cheese sandwich that typically tastes like dirty grill. The food seems to be subpar. We have tried going there 5 times in the last few months and somehow it keeps getting worse due to poor employee attitude. Not sure how much worse it can actually get, which is a shame because it could be really cool like when it first opened and they actually came out with smiles and some even wore roller skates and the aesthetic was on point. You must do better!! Or I can see this place making it. read more

My daughter wanted to try the drive in style of the place. So we stopped by for half price milkshakes, they were VERY THICK and TASTY! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Large banana milkshake - Burgers Near Me - Royersford, Pennsylvania

Terrible Service, even worse management. Bunch of lazy workers unwilling to do their jobs and an unqualified manager.

Only thing edible was the onion rings and there were 4 of them (very small). Wasn't expecting much out of the burger but to be completely honest I wouldn't even feed it to my dog. Meat was gross, stale bun, too much mayo, wilted lettuce, you name it they checked all of the boxes for worst burger in Limerick. $12 for the smallest burger they offer and a small onion rings for the record, which I would've happily paid if it didn't go directly into the trash can. read more

Walker up to order and I guess the guy forgot his mic was on and said "and here comes more f**king people..." HARD PASS. Took our party of 8 and went somewhere else to order read more

Being from Hawaii, there is no Sonic, so naturally I had to try it. Food: Super Sonic cheeseburger - Tastes like Burger King. I was told that Sonic is up there with In N Out. I should unfriend that person. Overall: Didn't care much for eating in the car either. There is outdoor seating but the weather in November is not exactly the comfy burger-eating type. Requested to have more condiments & napkins brought out but the girl never returned. read more

Sonic Drive-In - SuperSonic Double Cheeseburger - VN - Burgers Near Me - Royersford, Pennsylvania

This place had better improve before they go (out of business.) I had to push the red button 4 times before someone came on intercom. We Ordered 2 hamburgers and 2 corn dogs and they brought 2 cheeseburgers. When I pushed red button to tell them they messed up my order; they ignored the red button!!!! The burgers weren't good, the bread tasted stale. I know businesses are struggling because of Coronavirus but, Employees ignoring customers is not good business. By the way my child can't eat cheese, medical condition. They have good ice cream.; that maybe their saving grace. read more

I had went there and the staff there was great they know how to train there staff and they are re nice the service was great I would recommend everyone goes there I only been there once read more

Sonic Drive-In - I American dog oh 1 mustard dog - Burgers Near Me - Royersford, Pennsylvania

Went here for food 3 times over 3 weeks. All 3 times the food was made wrong. Wtf?! Three strikes and you're out. Scratching this place off the list... permanently. read more

I've had two experiences so far with this location. Both times with attempts to use the mobile app. If you can get it to work you're probably lucky. This last time I had to request a refund. 1st time - When i arrived at one of the drive-up kiosk it said that my order was being made when I checked in via the app. I waited 30 mins before it eventually shut-off after saying my order was being brought to me. I was forced to press the button and call in to ask them where my order was the response I got? "We had no idea you were here." 2nd time - The app stated that I could place orders with this location up and until 10:40pm. I place mine at 10:05pm, 55 mins before the posted closing time. When I got there? Their shift manager watched me pull on, looked me in the eyes. And then shut off the lights.. when I called the store? Their excuse was "we don't know why you were able to place that order, the store closes at 10." I had to waste another several minutes on hold to get a refund. Aside from that, the food was half decent, the one time I actually got it... read more

I do not recommend this place at all anymore .. since it reopened after being shut down for months, it's been nothing but terrible. I have gone about 5 times now to get a Ice-cream , and each time I go they say "we are all out of ice cream" .. the sonic blasts are one of the more popular items on the list, and they are always out of ice cream ??? And the two times they did have it, it was terrible. Barely any toppings inside, and the ice-cream was not blended together. It seemed like it was already pre-made and taken out of a freezer to thaw out .. so done with this place . read more

Why do they use cake batter for onion rings? Seriously, this is my only gripe just because it is so bizarre and disappointing Otherwise, it's Sonic. Fast food, decent service, the location is decent. Generally I come here if I'm craving tater tots, it is only semi nostalgic. The Norristown Sonic has a classic car show, don't know if this place has any read more

Unreal. I went through the drive through immediately after someone.... Waited... waited... and waited for someone to take my order. I saw MULTIPLE employees staring out the window at me, yet no one would help me. After saying "hello" about 30 times with no response, I finally left. Thanks for not serving me Sonic, I will never return. read more

Place sucks. Hours are all over the place. I feel like whenever I pull in sometimes 20-30 minutes before they close, And there's still customers there, they close off the drive through. And all the order stations. I can never order food. I've sat in the drive through going directly after someone who's ordered and get completely ignored. What sour management. read more

This place always has an issue. We go for ice cream one night at 7:30, and they tell us they were told to start cleaning the ice cream machine earlier. We go back a week later around the same time, and the drive thru is blocked off. I called the store to find out why the store was closed early, and the person that answer said the manager told them to. Tonight we tried a third time, and they said they couldn't sell drinks because "the button on the register was broken and they were out of cups". This place went out of business once, and looks likes it's heading that way again. We won't be going back! read more

I always love their food. Its like been a few months and ordered off Grubhub. Omg I don't know if there is anything better than their tinga emchiladas with mole sauce. This would be my last meal if I was about to die. So freaking delicious! read more

It's Sonic! Everything I've ordered has been great. I come here often for drinks while I'm out running errands. I'm hopelessly hooked on the ice! Service is always great. I'm withholding one star until they get the in-app ordering going! The parking lot is always clean, and the carhops are friendly and fast. read more

They closed around covid and sucked then...decided to give them another chance now they are "reopen." Went there for a pick up order at closing time only to get home and discover one of my meals were missing, and the others chicken sandwich was not edible. I called the following day to ask for a refund for the meal I didn't receive and the chicken sandwich I couldn't eat. As a customer you would think Sonic would try and rectify the situation but their response still has me shaking my head. They first they asked me if I still had the food. I asked them the food that you never gave me or the chicken sandwich that got thrown away? They said since I don't have the food still and ate the French fries they couldn't give me and money back. When I questioned this, they then offered me a 5$ gift card...I told them 5$ would not even pay for the meal i bought and had not received. They pretty much told me oh well. I explained that I didn't want a 5$ gift card I would like my 30$ some dollars back for the crap food they sold me and the food I didn't get. They were suppose to have another manager call me back but I am yet to receive anything. Never again will I go there...if they owned up to it and gave me a refund I would have given them another chance...but it's bad business. read more

Finding a Sonic was like finding an Easter Egg. You search and search and get SO excited when you find one, but then realize it's still just an egg. Sonic is still just a fast food joint. However, the idea of an old fashioned drive-thru with people bringing your food to your car is appealing. The food is pretty good. I am not a fan of fast food burgers, but I can say that their burgers aren't too bad. I also like that they offer a lot of different items that other places don't have. And their bfast menu is pretty hefty. Also, their drink menu is definitely impressive, with their flavored lemon/lime-ades and let's not forget about their milkshakes and Sonic Blasts, Oreo is my fave. And if you're not satisfied with the experience, drive 4 mins for some retail therapy at the Phila Premium Outlets.. and pack an order of tots for the trip. read more

Don't bother with the drive thru service because you'll just wait, and wait, then wait some more THEN when you get home you'll realize that they completely messed up your order. So far, that's happened 2 times to me. It won't happen again. We have also gone and parked and the service really wasn't all that much better. You still have the hit or miss service. You may get someone enthusiastic or some wanna be emo kid who's just thinking about how he'd like to off himself by being buried in the drive up trash bins. And honestly, the food isn't any better than any other fast food joint. In fact, I'd say that the McDonalds up the road in Royersford is a step up from this place. The prices are a bit outta line for what you get. Luke warm burger or chicken sandwitch + Limp fries = not a happy diner. Would not recommend going there unless you lost your tastebuds in a horrible smelting accident. read more

I'd never actually been to a Sonic before but I had always wondered about them. So it was perfect when they built one very close by! For a few weeks, the place was so packed that we didn't even try to go. Incredible lines! We went the other night though and things have calmed down to the point where we could just drive right in. What makes this place unique is the "drive-in" setting. You pull into a parking space and right there you have a full menu. When you know what you want, you press the button and tell the attendant your order. You then pay by card right there and soon enough your food is brought right out to you. That's pretty much all there is to it. Kinda neat I thought, I dug the 50's vibe. So we've established that the experience itself is kinda cool, but how is the food? I ordered a hamburger and large fries, my wife got a cheeseburger, regular fries, and a milkshake, and our daughter got the chicken strips, tater tots, and a chocolate milk. This was a comfort food meal because we are all recovering from colds! Our meal was delivered to the car pretty quick. I was kinda bummed to see that they sent me two cheeseburgers instead of hamburgers. This always happens to me, its some sort of kink in the universe that I have come to accept. Let's rate the food: Hamburger, Chicken Strips, and Cheeseburger: Good overall. No better than what you'd get at Wendy's, Burger King, or McDonalds though. One of my hamburger buns was actually a little stale, kinda hard. They were kind of sloppily put together too, I've seen better hamburgers "built" in similar fast food places. The chicken strips looked good, my daughter liked them. Fries and Tater Tots: The fries were decent, but Burger King and McDonalds easily bests them. Their "large" fry is really not all that large actually, kind of surprising in this day and age of "value meals". The tater tots were absolutely atrocious though. They had obviously been made about 3 weeks earlier and were left to sit under a light bulb before being served to us. I'd be embarrassed to send something like that out. And Sonic is batting 1.000 because both the fries and tater tots were lukewarm at best. Chocolate Milkshake: Unfortunately, the "chocolate" milkshake was not as rich as what you might have gotten back in the "drive-in" days. This is your basic vanilla ice cream mixed with chocolate syrup to create a very "vanilla" chocolate milkshake, if you will. Boooring. It all amounts to a rather stale experience that the cool 50's drive-in concept just couldn't save. Perhaps if the place had been swamped I could understand, but there is no reason for our food to have been sloppy, lukewarm, and just plain unsatisfying. What this comes down to is that if you need the campy drive-in experience and don't mind throwing your diet away on mediocre food, then you should go here. Me? If I'm doing a burger and fries (which is very rarely) I'm going to get it from a place that at least serves me fresh and hot food. You can easily top the food with a trip to Wendy's, BK, or McDonalds. Or if you really want to do it in style, go to Five Guys Burger and Fries. read more

As far as fast food goes, it's above average. The problem I have is with the consistency of the food--stone cold, gross burgers on one trip, hot, perfectly prepared burger on another trip. Luckily, they're pretty good more often than not. The onion rings are really bland and do taste more like (bland) funnel cake as another reviewer said. The tots and fries are often overly salty and sometimes undercooked. The new dogs aren't great--the toppings are better than the dogs themselves. And the burgers are good-to-very-good when prepared properly. read more

Sonic doesn't have great food (at all) but the combos are plentiful and inexpensive. I like that they offer tots with the combos and kids meals. We come to sonic to watch the workers skate over and pray that they don't fall. My son jokes he's gonna carry index cards with numbers on them to rate any wipeouts. We also always come to Sonic for the desserts. Whether afternoon or late night you can get your inner fat girl/guy on and enjoy a slush, ade, milkshake or sonic blast creation. Know what I'm sayin? Yum! This location is convenient to the outlets and a nice alternative to McDonald's, which is across the road. The employees are friendly and come around to offer additional condiments. Take that Golden Arches. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Royersford, Pennsylvania

Sweet mother of GOD!! I can't believe there's finally a Sonic that's a mere 5 minute drive from my house. Karma must love me. I will preface this review by saying, I'm not a fast food fan. I never eat it, but I have a special place in my (probably artery clogged) heart for Sonic. I'm not entirely sure what brand of crack they're lacing their food with, but it's primo stuff. You can't go wrong with a place that serves Frito chili cheese wrap, or CHEESE TOTS. Can you hear me getting fatter? Because I can feel myself getting fatter just thinking about it. If you haven't been to Sonic yet, GO. Have some cheese tots for me. read more

Liz F must have had the JV squad working b/c this Sonic has "roller girls" every time I do lunch at this Sonic. (When I say roller girls, I don't mean Roller Derby chicks, I mean females with roller skates on) Moving on...Often I chose to have lunch here, it's extremely fast for a "made to order" fast food joint. I suggest a breakfast burrito, they're good all times of day and there's a great variety of them. Sonic's also cheap, ask for "no ice" just like Chik fila, they load you up with ice and no soda. Expect a Sonic Bomb, but "Worth It!" read more

Good slushy and good monserella sticks. Good time to think about what to order. Good stop to get something and eat before you go somewhere

Drive-thru addict checks in. I was here in December of 2012. I will confess that I have been here many, many times before. What makes me keep coming back? The food. I ordered the medium combo. When I unwrapped the burger it was actually steaming! A dream come true! A steaming hot burger! Yum! The service has always been quick and friendly. They don't allow the drive-thru line to back up either. They actually send additional employees outside to help out with the drive-thru. Sonic is ranked as #1 in my fast-food category. Why? Because they continue to deliver great food and service time and time again. (Store #5953) read more

I don't know what happened to this sonic, it used to be great, I never had any problems here but for the past couple weeks whenever I've been coming they have cones blocking the drive thru even though they should be open. Tonight I came just to see if I'll get lucky and they'll be open but they yet again had cones up, but as I pulled up a girl came out and removed the cones, so I happily went to the speaker and ordered with no problem. Then I got to the window and waited well over 10 minutes, then the lady at the window swung open the window, very VERY quickly said muttered "sorry about that have a good night" and quickly shut the window. Then I open my bag and my fries are freezing, and my sandwich I could tell had to have been just a pre made sandwich cause it had all the toppings I asked to not have on it and it was freezing as well. Very disappointed, as much as I love sonic food I don't think I'll be coming back read more

Sonic is the ultimate hangover cure. Greasy, cheap, fast and great sugary drinks. My boyfriend is a trip and perfect. He told me to get dressed up for v-day and took me here. SO, this sonic will forever have fond and hilarious memories. That aside, this is your average Sonic. It's fast food with great lime-aid. Get the cherry lime-aid you won't regret it. My only disappointment? They didn't deliver on roller skates. read more

Best milkshakes ever. I am on a hunt for the best milkshake and this is the winner so far. It makes me a very happy camper. Best tater tots ever. read more

If you haven't been to a Sonic, just go and get a cherry limeade. It's the most refreshing drink in the summer! Since this location is close to me, I use the drive-thru and skip the car-side service. But again, if you've never been to a Sonic (or any drive-in) then try it at least once. Before 11 AM, large drinks are $0.99 and between 2-4 PM is Happy Hour, and drinks are half price. My husband really loves their breakfast burritos, so it's pretty typical for us to grab breakfast then do Saturday morning shopping at Target and Giant just up Ridge Pike. read more

Always good to come here like twice a year since each of their shakes are like 2,000 calories (not joking). The food is great.

As far as fast food goes, Sonic is way up there. The burgers are much better than you will get at the typical McDonalds or BK. They have the BEST onion rings in the world (coming from someone who doesn't like onion rings), and they have cheesy tots, which are great great great. They have a soda fountain like menu of soda flavors, a bunch of shakes, and the regular sodas too. The best part is, you can order, pay for, receive, and eat your food right from your car. The wait staff even brings the food to you on roller skates...how 1950! read more

Does this place know that their drive through literally smells like sewage? Ive been here 3 times lately, all the same and it is seriously one of the nastiest smells ive had to endure. Worst part is that its supposed to be a place where people eat read more

Good place. Good value. Great alternative to McDs or BK. Eat outside, eat in car, or drive thru. Treat the kids who serve nicely. AND SLOW DOWN DRIVING IN & OUT !! Good family vibe... but can be spoiled by impatient drivers or drama-mamas sitting in their cars, jerking servers around sending their food back repeatedly. C'mon man!! read more

Where do I even start with Sonic? Most of the other reviews on this place are true. The food never comes out hot, no matter if you eat there (in your car or at an outside table) or bring it home. Sometimes there can be a long wait for the drive thru. Never seem to wait that long when I'm eating there. The food menu isn't really all that big, but their drink menu offers a wide variety of choices. You can mix and match flavors anyway you like. Sonic also offers some food choices you can't get anywhere else around here like a footlong chili cheese dog or the cheesy tots. All in all, it's good if you're sick of McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King. I mean, it's still fast food and not in the least bit good for you; but when you want a different taste Sonic is pretty good for that. read more

I have been to this Sonic a number of times since it has opened. I never had any issues except for the last few times I used the drive thru. NEVER AGAIN! The first of my last 3 experiences we waited a long time in the drive thru line to find that our Raspberry Ice Teas were undrinkable because there was way too much syrup in them. On the 2nd visit I actually pulled out of line after I ordered because I waited over 13 minutes with still 3 cars ahead of me. So today I tried my 3rd drive thru visit. The wait time was still long but much shorter than the last 2 visits however after pulling away I realized that they had missed a Chicago Dog that was ordered and paid for and all 3 of our Raspberry ice teas were undrinkable again. I will not be trying Sonic for a 4th time! read more
