Stopped in to get a slushee and a chili cheese dog as I haven't been here in years. The hot dog doesn't hit the same as it did years ago but it was still good. The slushee was really good as I got the blue raspberry. The service was pretty fast and friendly. I stayed in my car and ate but the surroundings of the restaurant was clean and the outside music was.a nice vibe. read more

My child was craving a chicken bites meal with regular French fries, so I placed the order accordingly and also asked for a side order of cheese fries for myself. Despite only one car being ahead of me in the drive-thru, the wait still took about 15 minutes. After receiving our order and driving away, my son quickly noticed that his fries were missing--we had only been given the cheese fries. Normally, I would have just shared mine, but since he can't have cheese, I returned to the drive-thru and request the missing fries. Rather than acknowledging the mistake or offering an apology, the employee directed me to go through the entire drive-thru process again to receive the missing item. This meant sitting in line once more, now behind four cars, which added another 20-25 minutes to our wait. This situation could have easily been resolved by handing over the missing fries immediately, instead of unnecessarily inconveniencing the customer even more. When we finally received the fries, they were supposed to be a medium, yet the portion resembled a small. By the time I got home--just five minutes away--my cheese fries had already turned cold, and the cheese had solidified. This isn't the first time I've had issues here; the last two visits also involved missing items. The quality of service has gone downhill, and unfortunately, I won't be returning. Convenient location, but inconvenient service. read more

I sat there for 45 minutes for one meal. Absolutely ridiculous, should not take that long; it's called fast food for a reason.

Came to sonic to get an ice cream. they told me their "machine was broken". but over the next 5 minutes i watched them bring numerous amounts of ice cream out to different cars. just because you have a lot of ice cream orders, it is not an excuse to not let me order an ice cream. i've worked fast food before. do better. read more

I placed an order at 2:00pm online and went to the location 30 minutes later to pick it up. No one answered the order call kiosk. I went through the carry out line and no one was answering the request. I went into the building and there was only one person inside. He said that he was the only person there and was cooking. He did not know when my order would be ready. I lost $26 for the order as it was not ready after one hour. read more

It's only 9:30 and they have already stopped serving certain food items, and they are ignoring people when they push the red button to order. I've seen two cars leave already and one person is still trying to place their order. read more

Checked the reviews before I went and expected a bad experience, but it was great! Went through the drive thru.

If you haven't been to a place that REALLY cares about customer service, then you have not been to this Sonic. Under the guidance of the new manager Teresa Steele, this place has been totally re-vamped (whipped into shape)! Drove up today to get a cream slush for my bride, but the flavor I was looking for was no longer available. But, I was able to score the slush, drop some flavoring at home with a scoop of ice cream and, "Bamm"! You guessed it, I got the cream slush of her dreams. Thank you Teresa! read more

Waited in the drive through line for 30 minutes with only 2 cars in front of me: No manners and so slow.

horrible service. went to pick up an order had to press 3 different red buttons AND knock on the door to even speak to somebody. i've worked at sonic before and i know how everything goes. it's definitely not ignore the customers and make them run you down read more

I placed an order at 6:35 pm and at 7:35 pm I decided to go up to the door. Te gentleman came out and I asked for a refund. He asked for my name and then he disappeared. At 7:55 I knocked again and he came out, asked for my name and disappeared. At 8:05 he handed me my order. The entire hour and a half the drive thru orders were being pushed through while the drive in orders, mine and those around me, had not received their orders. Additionally, the food I was given an hour and a half late was cold and stale. Not the usual comfort food I had grown up on. Today's generation of workers aren't it. I'm attaching a photo of my receipt to show that my order wasn't beyond complicated. Two burgers and two drinks and some chicken for my kids. I'm curious to know if anyone next to me ever got their order as well. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Receipt - Fast Food Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

On Christmas eve around noon, I ordered a regular hot dog with extra mustard with a drink. I had not eaten breakfast. After I ate the hot dog, my stomach felt "queasy" but I kept going. I didn't eat anything else on Christmas eve and this is normal for me. At about 1:30A on Christmas Day, I was vomiting and had diarrhea. I only vomited once but it was intense. My ribs were sore on Thursday (26th). I 100% believe the hot dog was either left out overnight and co-mingled with fresh hot dogs. I am posting this review to bring my situation to the attention of management. Hopefully, my review will be shared with the staff. read more

Drive thru we sat there a couple minutes and no one answered. We parked and pressed the button and no one answered.

Waited in drive thru for ten minutes with no response from the speaker. Despite several attempts to order I decided this establishment is not worth patronizing at least not after nine pm. read more

This is my first comment on Yelp, but I have to give a shout out to Jennette and Joey at this location! They were so very nice, and it meant a lot to me. Fast food service workers often don't take the time to look customers in the eyes and engage with them. My experience at this Sonic was the opposite! Keep doing great work! read more

We came here at 9pm on a Saturday. 2 other cars there. We drove to a stall and pressed the button. Waited for 10 minutes. Pressed it again. Waited another 5. Drove to another stall and pressed the button. Another 5 minutes with people in another car staring at us as we pulled in. So we went to the drive through. We could hear people inside talking over the speaker but they told us to wait. So we waited about 5 more minutes, then the person inside said "you can go" which we took to mean we could order our food. Then we waited another 10 minutes at the window while 4 people inside did...something? Tried to give us the wrong order because apparently the people ahead of us gave up on this dumpster fire and just left. All in all it took us over half an hour to order an ice cream. By the time we left probably 10 other cars had showed up, waited, and given up without receiving any order or service. The food was standard. The service was pathetic, poorly managed, and poorly organized. The servers weren't friendly, and while I wasn't expecting anything spectacular going to Sonic on a Saturday night, I was expecting basic human courtesy or literally ANY service, let alone my correct order. read more

This Sonic location deserves an updated review. My last one was a 3 star, but now I'm bumping them up to 4 star because I've seen noticeable improvements. On my most recent trip, I download the Sonic app before leaving home to place my order. All I had to do when I arrived was to pull into a stall and check in on the app with my stall number. An associate came out with my order, and BAM, we were on our way. How easy is that? I can even pay on the app so I don't have to worry about incorrect cash back. read more

Our CC went missing at this location (we suspect it wasn't given back to us). We called and were told there are no video cameras that could record what might have happened to our card). We're filing a police report. Management didn't seem to care. Avoid this location and pay cash to be safe. Slowest Sonic ever too. Thanks for not caring. read more

I know it's Sonic so I didn't have high expectations to begin with. Figured I'd grab a "quick" lunch. I order on the app, arrived at the location and waited 40 minutes. I finally walked up to the door, food came out all wrong, and the frozen drink machine wasn't working(even tho I ordered and paid for it already). I think I'd rather starve to death before going here again. read more

They are so cruel to their teen workers, no breaks and understaff on purpose, penalizing sick kids with a week of no work while the others have 8 hours straight with no break. read more

Ordered two diet drinks and proceeded to wait for 1 hour only to have to complain; then I received two sugar drinks with candy.

I'd give it zero stars if possible. I ordered on app and when I arrive I was told they were out of the food I ordered and couldn't give me a refund because I ordered thru the app. I went out of my way to go there and didn't receive my order. The app response has been the same. They aren't able to offer a refund. Instead they've offered a gift card for LESS than the amount of food I didn't receive. Complete bull sh**. Their 1st offer was for popcorn chicken (which I don't eat). Ridiculous, don't order thru the app. read more

Sonic Drive-In on Shelby Ray Court in West Ashley is on of my favorite Sonic locations in the area and a reliable stop for all things burgers, tots, and good food when you are hungry and need something fast. I really like the different options here and being able to eat outside if you have a little more time. The service here is very good and they work hard to make sure that you have everything you want. read more

Legitimately the worst service I have ever received at a "restaurant". I have been to the location maybe a handle of times before the last two drove me to never come back. Each time, I waited for at least an hour and did not get my food. I also ordered ahead and was in a stall and no one would answer when I clicked the call button, after waiting patiently for 30 minutes. On top of that you can't cancel an order in the Sonic app so I had to go through my credit card to get it refunded, which is more of a knock on sonic and not the location. Still waiting more than an hour with only a handful of cars in the drive thru for fast food is unacceptable! Avoid this location at all costs! read more

I used to come here all the time when I was younger and it was great. But now it can't even compare. We sat at a drive in spot for 20 mins before giving up and going through the drive thru. Which we didn't even get up to the ordering station before just leaving. The line wasn't moving at all. It's absolutely terrible. Please don't bother wasting your time here, it's not fast at all!!!!! read more

Every time I go here they leave stuff out of my order. Literally every single time. Wont be going back.

Ordered via Door Dash and for 47.00 I got chicken tenders and fries with I did not order. Hard to mixed up 2 hot dogs and tater tots with thst. No answer on phone when calling either. read more

Their shakes are good... Service, not so much. After the hubs repeated the order twice, they still got the order (2 shakes) wrong. The person also didn't turn the microphone off after we asked for a second and there was some language I'm glad my 4 month old doesn't understand yet. Not a big deal for us, but I'd be annoyed if I had little ones in the car. read more

I ordered on online 30 mins ago now I've arrived, been waiting another 15 mins just to get it. When I got my order she basically dropped it in my hand rushed away. Theirs are also only one person at the drive through non at the stalls. read more

sat here for my grub hub order for 30 mins. i pushed the button at least 10 times and no one responded, even though there were workers coming in and out of the building. if you have a food delivery order from this location just go ahead and cancel it read more

Oh boy. Where do I even start. I've lived near this Sonic for YEARS, so I've been coming here a long time. Recently however, the service has seriously gone downhill. Don't order on the app, they'll probably get your order wrong. Well, they'll probably get it wrong even if you order there. The past 3 times I've been there they've left out at least one thing from my order. I had to go back through the drive thru & wait forever a second time only for them to tell me AFTER receiving & paying for my order that they're out of whatever it is they didn't give me. Extremely understaffed and the workers they do have are incompetent and rude. Really wouldn't recommend this Sonic unless you're wanting to wait 40+ minutes for some mediocre fast food. read more

Literally the slowest fast food restaurant. Waited 25 minutes at a speaker waiting for somebody to take our order. And one of the three days that they have open, the drive-through was wrapped around the building to where you were trapped in the bay. Never got to even order. Only giving one star because you have to give something to be able to post a review. read more

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. Took 30 minutes to get a slushy. Waited 20 minutes in the stall and then had to go though the drive-thru window just got someone to take my order. Only reason I waited was because my 3-year-old had strep throat and needed something to soothe his throat. read more

Waited for over 10 minutes to order, then over 30 to get food. Do not recommend. I would drive off if they didn't already take my payment.

WORST SONIC EVER! Customer service doesn't exist! TERRIBLE STAFF! If I could have given them LESS THAN one star, I would have! It took 35 minutes to receive order! I didn't trust my food wasn't spit in after the RUDE window operator gave it to me, so it went directly in their trash can. This Sonic needs to be CLOSED! read more

Daughter went to West Ashley Sonic and sat for 10 minutes and left. Called sonic to asked them what was going on and she said I have been taking orders Daughter went back same thing told them I was going to file a complaint and all of the sudden service was operating again when she got back same car in front of her was still sitting their placed order and told they were out of all sides. SONIC JUST LOST MY BUSINESS RIDICULOUS read more

This Sonic totally Sucks! Ordered an almost $7 with tax Large Sonic Blast, and this is the crap that I got! The cup wasn't even 3/4 full! Whoever's running this joint needs to find themselves another job. And apparently they don't care, because I see no responses from owners or management to any of the reviews. They stole $7.00 from me, but they'll never see me again! read more

Slowest drive thru sat I line on 3/13 @ 2:20 pm just to get 2 shakes. There were only 3 cars in line.

Well, it's Sonic- so the menu and food are about like every other Sonic down south. Now remember not everyone has access to a Sonic so don't take that for granted, mmmkay? I came here for one of their new milkshakes... I wanted an oreo one but not the cheesecake base that was on the menu. They gladly made me an oreo milkshake with vanilla base just as I requested. Tastes great and pretty cheap. Knocked off one star for access. You kinda have to drive around the block to get in and out of here. I guess they wanted it to face Glenn McConnell so people could see it from the main road, but it's sorta weird to drive up to the back of the restaurant. Not like that deters me or anyone else from going! read more
