I have been seeing the commercial for the double grilled cheeseburger that they just added to the menu, so I was hype to try it after my long shift of being a server. I ordered it with no mustard because I don't eat mustard. Anyways, I didn't bother to check it because the mentioned they were short staffed and so I was trying to get out of there as soon as I could. I got home, hype to try my burger and it was SO BURNT & COVERED in mustard. I was exhausted after my shift so I didn't have enough energy to drive back to complain about it so I just left it alone. The reason I didn't rate lower though is because the staff was still friendly, I also ordered tater tots & onion rings that were delicious & got a huge Route 66 coke that was to die for. My husband said the tots were 'too burnt' for him but I thought they were pretty good. I ate the onion rings in the car ride home cause I was hungry so I don't have a picture but they were good. I understand being short staffed, having a history of restaurant business myself, however, I still don't understand how hard it is to read a ticket and make out the correct food. read more

I moved to Aiken recently and was delighted to find a Sonic on Whiskey Rd! We had several where I lived in another state, and it was my favorite lunch spot - Sonic served delicious food with a 1950's drive-in vibe. What a shock when I got to Aiken. The Whiskey Rd location had slow, unhappy service and delivered an AWFUL overcooked dry hamburger. And yet, it was so greasy that I didn't dare eat it in the car as I had planned. Really gross - dripping grease everywhere. I figured it might have been a bad day? Bad grill cook? I gave it another try. Exact same thing. I will not be going back. I'm sad because I know how amazing their food usually is. Something is horribly wrong with this particular Sonic. read more

Be careful eating here. They force employees to come in while sick by threatening to fire them. I don't know about you, but I don't want a side of the flu, a cold, RSV, COVID, or a stomach bug with my combo. They would probably charge extra for it anyway. read more

Just went there to get some lunch. I had most of my money on a card and $.61 in change so I asked the lady when she came out if they took tap to pay, she said yes I told her that I was also using change. She perceived to say oh Lord and goes in and talk to her manager, comes back and tells me that they do not take partial payment. I have done this before, so I have never heard of such nor does it make any sense at all. I will not be bringing my money back to this place, especially when you get harassed by homeless men in the parking lot. Do better because the food isn't even that good. So now I'm leaving with low blood sugar and still no food and hoping that I will make it to the next place before I pass out. read more

I liked Sonic's pretzel. It was perfectly crunchy and the salt was just right. The cheese sauce was a perfect compliment​

Horrible service today. We went to the drive up stall and the girl took only our drink orders. Then gave me Diet Coke instead of regular coke. When the girl delivered our drinks we told her we weren't done with our order and she just walked away. We pressed the red button, waited about 20 minutes and nobody answered. We went to another one and the same thing happened. No answer. I walked up to the kiosk and no answer. We ended up going through the drive thru. read more

I went there earlier today and got some bbq chicken the chicken was barely covered so I took it back in just for them to put a little bit more they poured the whole bottle on them and ruined the whole meal never will be back until management is fix it is no reason to put that much sauce on anyone's food read more

Ordered a footlong coney meal with chili, cheese, onion and mustard. Got to the window, paid, and when she handed me the bag I said where is my footling coney? She said oh they put you down for a regular American. I said that is not what I ordered, but to not cause a scene I just took it and left. So I get home pull my hot dog out and was confused cause for one there was relish when I certainly didn't order it and then it was all smushed. I picked it up and realized whoever fixed it tore the bottom of the bun open and just put everything on it even though they certainly had to see the wiener out of the bun. read more

Need to throw away the microwaves or learn to use them correctly. You don't microwave lettuce and tomatoes Sandwich's were terrible fries were burnt and onion rings were over cooked terrible food read more

Placed an order on the Sonic app. Had us in stall #1 forever. Mashed the button to check on order. They tried to bring us someone else's order twice! No way in hell it takes this long for an order of mozzarella sticks and 2 drinks! When it final came out, the sticks were cold. This is some bull$#i+! PS: If you order one of the new burst drinks, make sure they give you the boba straw. You'll never suck out the bubbles without it. read more

Immediately upon driving up to the drive-thru, the girl at the register seemed to have an attitude. We could not understand when she said SOMETHING? We didn't know if we were supposed to order or not. I had a question so I asked it. The girl, obviously, didn't hear me. So, my husband repeated the question louder to her. There was a pause. So, he asked again. She then yelled, "Are you asking me?" Aggravatingly, he said, "Well, yeah." That is when she said, "Have a nice day." "Excuse me," he said. She again repeated, "Have a nice day." He said, "Does that mean you are not serving us?" She said, "Yes, have a nice day." I worked in customer service for over 15 years and I never refused service to anyone. Seems pretty silly that she would. When he asked for the manager, she said, "I am the manager." "Have a nice day!" If owned this establishment, I would be concerned about going out of business. We went over to a neighboring facility and had a very pleasant experience. The lady was kind. She helped us figure out what we wanted. She went out of her way to make sure we got what we ordered. She was a blessing to the establishment for which she works. I understand that customers can be a pain; but, I feel like we were treated unfairly. So, Sonic is no longer on my list of establishments to visit in the future. read more

waited 20 minutes both times ive gone now before getting mad and just leaving or going to drive thru because they will not answer the red button. idk if the stall i always go to is just broken (if it was you would imagine they put a sign on it) or if they just listen to it go off and forget about it and help the other stalls instead. idk regardless its ridiculous. if its broken put up a sign if you hate me just say that. it was stall 8 btw. read more

Just terrible... saying they only have one car runner but you have coworkers standing out back smoking.... We were there from 9:40pm and left at 10:300pm without our drinks that's all we ordered.. drinks and we paid for them and never got them.. read more

Oh, Good Grief, Sonic. I am being NICE w/ two stars...I was IN LINE AT LEAST 20 minutes, maybe 25...the slushie machine was not working/broken. Huh? They forgot my shake, had to remind them. And then there was NO whipped cream, OH, they were OUT of that! No graham cracker topping on the shake, either. (I noticed that after I got home, but whatever...). Buffalo Chicken had I think ONE teaspoon of Buffalo sauce on them. I ordered a large, and I got a...medium. I want to LOVE Sonic, but I am having a hard time right now doing so. read more

I went to the drive through yesterday for lunch and was shocked by the lack of health precautions. The young woman taking my payment and giving me my food at the window had a mask on her chin and neck. How is not covering her mouth and nose going to help prevent the transmission of the corona virus or any other illnesses? In addition, I saw another young woman inside, apparently waiting to receive an order to take outside to a customer, put her hand on her mouth. Again, no mask. If I can't trust the actions of the employees that I can see, how can I trust the ones I can't? I will not be going back to this sonic. (I did try to call the restaurant to speak to a manager but no one picked up the phone.) read more

Apparently this side of town isn't the place to go to get food. Ordered food, nothing crazy just 2 combos, and ended up waiting 20 mins while everyone behind us was getting their food and leaving not to mention everything we ordered was wrong and cold after waiting that 20 mins. They decided to bring our food when my husband was getting out the truck to go cancel it and get our money back. Also the girl taking the money had nails too long to work the register so she had to get another girl to help her, which is really unsanitary in my opinion when working around food. And this is not a staffing issue. They had plenty enough people in there to have everything run smooth. If you want sonic go to the one on the other side of town! read more

We ordered sonic blasts with hot fudge. We were charged extra for the fudge. What we received was milkshakes that were the wrong size. We took them back and had to wait through a long drive through for them to give us blasts with no hot fudge in them and they were not filled to the top of the cup. I had to go into the building to tell them they had no hot fudge which we paid extra for. The worker took the blasts and put a few pumps in (barely anything) and brought them out. As I ate the blast it was mostly vanilla ice cream with no cookie dough or hot fudge. I did not eat it nor did my husband. Terrible!!! What a waste of $12 and change! I will never go back! read more

Oh Sonic, how I love thee. Tis Sonic is the same as any other Sonic, but I had great service at this location. I wish that all fast food was as efficient as this facility. First, the staff was extremely friendly from the moment I pulled up and the service was extremely quick. After receiving my order everything was extremely hot and fresh, I could tell nothing had been sitting under a heat lamp. I will definitely visit this location every time I'm in town. 1/2 price milkshakes after 8 p.m. every day! read more

Whoever is running this place either has absolutely no help or no clue. The night before we pressed the order button, waited close to 30 minutes for someone to answer then finally just left. I assumed it was because they looked busy at the time. Well, today with hardly any customers present, we were actually able to ordered 4 small milkshakes but again after waiting almost 30 minutes (no milkshakes) we decided to leave and go somewhere else. DON'T RECOMMEND. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

I was at booth number 9 for over 20 minutes today. I waited so long that I to press the red button a second time. This is highly unacceptable. I finally had to pull to the drive thru. On top that, I still had to pull up and wait!! Had I wanted to wait that long I would have sat down in a restaurant. If I could give less than one star, I most definitely would have. read more

Sonic food isn't bad for cheap food, but the service at this restaurant is horrible. Twice I've.gone through the drive through for the nimwit at the window to tell me they can't make change....ok, if you don't have change put up a sign or tell people when they order. And for the love of all that is Holy, check your order when you get it and make sure if you order something messy (like wings, or chili chz tots) you check to see if they gave you a fork...because they won't. The problem is so rampant at this location it can only be a managerial issue. read more

Oh sonic. I love it.... I mean its the same sonic that they have everywhere else.... Thank GOD this is not like the one that they just built in MA because it has a mile long line..... here you can can all just enjoy the mediocre fast food whenever you need a little clogging for our arteries. Nothing special to report here. It's just a delicious Sonic! Get the Cherry Limeade, it will change your life... or diet if you so desire! read more

The food and drinks are amazing, but the girls working the counter are rude and need an attitude adjustment.

Slowest service of any fast food restaurant in this town. I waited 15 minutes for a jr burger and fries!! Very incompetent people and then we're rude when I asked where my food was after 10 minutes. Even the drive thru was backed up about 6 cars. Don't eat here!! read more

Its hit or miss as with most fast food. Have had a few terrible experiences there but the store manger Keith is nice enough. He excepted full responsibility for their short comings and made it right. His cell number is on the receipt for a reason! Value is decent, happy hour prices are insanely cheap. One of the few fast food places we still go to read more
