Sonic Drive-In

Sonic is a fast food joint where you have a choice to eat at the restaurant, order through drive thru, and order and serve while parked in a space. We chose to eat in a parked car. It was my first time at a Sonic and I was overwhelmed by all the choice. I ended up getting a frozen lemonade, large jumbo popcorn chicken with Hickory BBQ sauce, medium mozzarella sticks, and a small Banana Crème Pie. The food and drinks were delicious. I’m looking forward to returning to a Sonic in the near future.

Nothing came out as ordered! The molten cake sundae was actually just icecream with broken cake pieces!

I just got a slushie during happy hour and it took 8 minutes to get my drink and it was so sweet I couldn’t stand it after a few sips. I’ve had the late night milkshakes before but I don’t think I would ever come back on my own, but I wouldn’t veto it if other people wanted to go either.

Eh just ok. My shake was thin, I asked for no whip cream but they put it on anyways. I ordered a grilled cheese but it was cheese on buttered warm bread. It didnt look grilled or even toasted for that matter.

The food is disgusting. Everything tasted stale. It’s not even warm! However, the milkshakes are great and the slushies are amazing. That’s the only reason I go.

Double bacon cheeseburger was okay. first tine I every had it was much better.
The philly cheesecake was nasty. Tater tots not worth getting and r the chicken tenders sandwich pain and nasty.
Last time we come here.
The waiter was nice that why they get a two.

Got a chicken ciabatta sandwich and the chicken with dried out in the roll was stale.

There’s only one Sonic where I come from (Long Island) and its a bit of a drive. So while enjoying a three day weekend in Lancaster and enjoying the wonderful food options it has to offer my arteries were in need of a greasy fix.
Instead of eating in our car, we opted to order and eat at the outside tables in the front of the fast food chain. It was s beautiful day out and I don’t like getting in my car the next day to find that lingering fast food smell.
That was a decision I quickly came to regret. The place was swarming with bees. They had no problem inspecting your food if you let them. We had to switch tables it was so bad. Also, the garbage cans were overfilled. That probably didn’t help with the bee problem.
So far as the food goes, it was Sonic. If you don’t know it by now something is wrong. :)
I chowed down on a Number 1 and my wife had a pretzel dog with a cookie dough milkshake. Yum!

Probably the absolute worst Sonic I have ever been in! Went there tonight just for desserts and took a friend that has never been to a Sonic. She orders chocolate ice cream and instead of them telling her they don’t have chocolate they give her vanilla with chocolate syrup. I order a mocha java chiller and I’m not sure what was missing but it was like a glass of milk with whipped cream. Another friend orders a Reese’s Sonic Blast and gets vanilla ice cream with Reese’s Pieces on top. Of course I get no receipt so I can’t do the survey. I will never go in this place again! I guess I know now why there was no wait or line.

I have been to better and faster Sonics. Placed an order for 4 meals for 4 people. Drinks came out first and then we wait 5 minutes for food. They were stingy with napkins had to ask twice for more napkins. Then before we drove off I realized that we were missing fries and marinara sauce for my mozzarella sticks. Then it took forever to get my sauce for my sticks and you know if you don’t eat them when they are hot they are no good. Sonic is my favorite fast food everything was pretty good they just forgot some things and service is a little slow.

The milkshakes are great! Too many to make a decision but they were delish. The food to be honest was just regular fast food for me, but the shakes were great. It was great for lunch while visiting PA.

This is the best Sonic I’ve been here.

Good, for fast food. I stop here on my way to visit family.
Best soda’s and drinks. Diet Dr. Pepper… with Limes and Cherries (WOW!) and the happy hour 2−4pm when drinks are ½ off, brilliant!
Hot dogs are great, corn dog are great, love the sides.
Beware… never had a greasier burger in my life… will avoid that in the future.
To the person who said that the food came out too fast… um, you realize that it is fast food right? Fast is in the name.

Best soda and shakes on the planet. Highly recommend the cherry limeade.

After hearing about it for years, I finally gave Sonic a try while visiting PA for the weekend. The whole drive-​in «experince» was LAME and kind of annoying.
After some confusion, we ordered our food (the person taking our order kept cutting us off and repeating back the wrong thing). The food came out very quickly– almost too fast.
They got the condiments on my gf’s burger completely wrong. The burgers were okay… but nothing to write home about. The tater tots were tasty, if not a bit salty. I guess the highlight was my gf’s limeade. If we come again, it will be in the afternoon for their Happy Hour drink specials and no food.
I know it’s their gimmick, but Sonic may have received three stars from me if you could sit down and eat. (There were a few picnic tables but they were in use.) Not a big fan of eating in my car!

How can you NOT love Sonic?!
Even more so after a long day shopping across the street!!! Pull into the drive in and park and order and WHAM with in minutes your food is at your car window with a smile and friendly service.
Doesn’t matter what you order its made to order and tastes great everytime.
For me I like to wash it all down with a Cherry Chocolate Dr Pepper but others may want a Vanilla Peach Ice Tea or a Strawberry Limeade whatever you fancy is they have the flavors to make your combination dream come true!!!

Oh me oh my Sonic!
If you’re choosing this over other fast food. You can’t go wrong here.
I’m glad they don’t have any on York. I would be broke and fat. I love their food. I recommend the bacon cheese burger on the toaster bread with tater tots and a milk shake!
For breakfast the burritos are a must have. They used to carry pancake on a stick that was an addiction, I guess it’s a good thing for me they don’t have it.

Like others, I have never had the opportunity to experience a Sonic, so when we drove by it, we had to stop.
In the end, it is a fast food place with the novelty of still being a drive-​up car-​hop type of place. The burgers are good — you can debate the qualities of them vs. MickeyD’s or BK on your own. I’d put them above McDonald’s, but below BK, except in size. But its not like they are In n’ Out burgers or anything. Nice touch is the availability of tater tots instead of fries.
Worth trying to say you’ve tried, but don’t prepare to be blown away.

Sonic, at long last I found you!
Darn your temptations. You aren’t what I was expecting.
Wow, so I actually found a Sonic! I had seen their commercials for YEARS, in MD, NYC and here but NEVER had seen an actually Sonic in real life. I never believed they actually existed until I went to Lancaster to the outlets. Their ads made my mouth water with the crazy combination drinks that no other places dreamed of doing. Oh man, I was so happy when I found it.
My happiness died though. Died quick. Real quick. I convinced my wife we NEEDED to go there. I insisted and wouldn’t take no for an answer. She relunctantly agreed. I immediately ordered the Lime slushie because that’s the one thing I knew I wanted for years from their ads. We ended up getting a couple wraps and chicken sandwhich and fries. Paid at the terminal. Waited. Kept waiting. I kept thinking this food better be worth the YEARS wait plus this long wait. Finally the food came 25 minutes later. I wasn’t that into the whole drive-​in theme but whatever, I was all about the food.
The wraps were bland and TINY. I could have ate 4 and still been hungry and I am a thin guy. The fries were soggy and just gross. I don’t remember the chicken sandwhich which doesn’t bode well. Now for the slushie.
Eh. Half melted lime syrup with bits of crushed ice.
I left thinking it would have been better off not finding Sonic in the end and kept my naitivity alive.

Sonic Drive-​In on route 30, Lincoln Highway East in Lancaster Pa. They just built this Sonic last august. They are way more common down south (we went to a friends in Fort Benning, Georgia and they must have had 4 Sonics in town) You can pull into the locatio nand they have like 25 drive-​up menus where you jsut park and order. then after a certain amount of time the waitress brings it out to your car.
They have great overpriced milkshakes. I dont like the idea that you cant pay with cash at the drive thru window though. The current rumor is that they’re building one on Progress Ave in Harrisburg.
