Sonic interior.

Beautiful interior seating. Friendly service and the coffee is good. This is my new go to for coffee. They even have USB outlets to recharge my phone.

Fireplace and hamburger pillows!
Nicole H.

I just had a pleasant lunch at Sonic today! I am not Sonic frequent flyer, so I walked in not really knowing what I was going to order, and the person taking my order who I believe was the manager was super super patient with me. I got the Sonic cheeseburger with tater tots. My burger was delicious and I said to my family " this burger is tasty and not greasy at all" . I could tell the manager overheard me and he made sure to tell his team! I love a supportive staff! Ambiance was cute, they have a cute fireplace with hamburger pillows. Dining area inside was spotless! They also had games out like UNO and Jenga.

Small vanilla Hand-Mixed Classic Shakes
Tara J.

I recently tried the vanilla milkshake at Sonic, and I have mixed feelings about it. While there were some good aspects, there were a couple of issues that left me wanting more. The flavor of the vanilla milkshake was good - creamy and rich, however, the texture was a bit thicker than I expected. It was so thick that I couldn't easily sip it through a straw, which was a disappointment. If I wanted soft serve ice cream I would've gotten that, but I wanted a milkshake to be able to drink. Another small disappointment was the whipped cream topping. It wasn't filled to the top of the lid as I had hoped.

Chicken tenders (dry af)
Mary J.

I was getting hangry on the way home from a meeting and hit this Sonic on the way since February 2nd is national tater tot day. I pulled up to a drive order screen and spoke to an order taker. Not the best experience since the restaurant's music was blaring and it was hard to hear and probably be heard. The chicken tenders on the menu are tossed in a sauce, but the order taker would only tell me the condiment dips. The screen told me my order and it was easy to pay and a nice young lady named Sophia brought my food out. She also got me ketchup later. The food was abysmal. My tots were cold and the container wasn't full, even after I dumped the "bag" tots back in there. The 3 chicken tenders were $4.39 and they were so dry and shriveled. They must have been sitting in a heater forever. The cheeseburger came with onions (I ordered no onions) and NO extra pickles, as requested. It tasted strongly of grill grease and the bun was overly thick.

This is my first trip through the drive thru.

If I could give it a 0 stars I would. I ordered a number 7 with tots and a Dr Pepper at their drive thru. This is what I got after. I drive back to sonic and complained I got what I originally ordered all squashed and no fork and tasted like it was drowned in salt so bad, I was unable to eat it.

I ordered a cup of ice and some Mozzarella sticks. Once I took the lid off my cut this is what I found.

I order mozzarella sticks and a cup of ice upon removing the lid I saw that I had black particle swimming in my cup. This is not good. Thank God I removed lid.

Oreo shake lookin pink

Told them 4 burgers and they rang me up for 1. Had to reorder and wait again. Ordered an Oreo shake and got a strawberry instead. Had to wait AGAIN! What kind of service is this? I really didn't want to go here but it was late, most places were closed and was on the way home. Now I'm definitely never coming back. 45 mins in the car and still waiting. Talk about fast food huh 0 star

I always come for my strawberry slushy and they never disappoint. Well this review has changed. I was wondering why my strawberry slushy didn't taste like it usually does, well they barely put anything on it that's why. Train your people right. I don't come to sonic for a cup of ice.

2 pieces of short hair in my food.

food was cold AND I found 2 separate pieces of hair in my food disgusting staff and disgusting place. needs to be investigated

I am an Uber driver and briefly pulled into the curbside pickup area while completing a pickup. An employee named Lucy approached me in a very aggressive and unprofessional manner. She raised her voice, pointed her finger at me, and told me I would be "banned" for parking there. While I immediately moved my vehicle once informed of the policy, the way she communicated was very confrontational and felt threatening. Afterward, I asked to speak with a manager about the interaction. I was directed inside, where I spoke with a manager who confirmed the curbside policy regarding Uber drivers. My concern was not the policy itself, but the employee's tone, body language, and overall behavior. I also noticed that shortly after this interaction, a white male driver pulled into the same curbside area and did not appear to receive the same treatment or confrontation. As a Black woman, this raised concern for me and left me feeling uncomfortable about whether there may have been unequal or biased treatment in how the situation was handled. I am also a regular customer at Total Wine & More, and I was disappointed by this experience. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and addressed appropriately so all customers and drivers are treated with respect and consistency.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the various products. It can get hectic during the special allocation drops because of the way they handle things. People start lining up very early on drop day, so either get there early or be prepared to wait in a long line. That goes for everyone, it doesn't matter if you're the town drunk just looking to pick up a pint of your favorite rot gut booze, the line starts way back there... too harsh? You wouldn't believe some of the things I've seen on drop day.

The store is located off Battlefield Blvd. you must enter Sams Club and it's a side small strip. It's easy to overlook. Customers will enjoy plenty of parking. The lot was debris free as the walk up on my visits. I found a few harder to find bottles here and was pleased. The store is clean and organized. The staff meh. Checkouts were professional just not as friendly as I would hope for. I would return to this location for the right products, but since it's not close to my house I would not be a regular.

However the area is sketch. I visited them during the day and would not do so after dark. The lot is huge and overall pretty clean with debris on the peripheral area. Signage is good on the building which can be seen from the road. I was greeted once I entered the store and asked if I was looking for something. This was super and I did get help locating a Knob Creek 12 year bottle of bourbon, The store is spread out and clean. A lot of bare shelves was odd. The bourbon section was nice size but missing items. That's also odd when they got their truck same day. The store is split between the liquor store and a regional ABC office. I'm not exactly sure what they do as HQ is in Richmond. Checkout was smooth on my card and a touch less transaction. The staff had mask and cleaned the area before I was served. Not a store I would most likely return to. I just did not feel comfortable with the surrounding area.

I felt at home and with great friends! There were local wineries from all over the state as well as an international area. Food trucks and local vendors were there to give me a break from the delicious tastings. And the live band (didn't catch the name) was amazing and kept the mood up throughout the dreary weather. I'm looking forward to next year's festival and thinking about getting a tent in case of rain again. Overall, glad we took a chance and marking our calendars for the next one!

I would have never found this one if it hadn't been for Yelp Events! Thanks to whoever posted it!…read more This was definitely a great girls day out. We opted for the VIP tickets because in my wine expo/tasting experience, it is worth the extra cost. The VIP room had 3 food pairings throughout the event. This is always nice because I always learn something from talking to the wine makers or Sommeliers. For instance, I learned that Riesling and BBQ pairs well together. Mind Blown! But you had to be in the VIP room to try and then you'll see why it works. The VIP room also had unlimited cheese, fruits, and crackers. You can't been that. If you are tasting over 100+ wines you will need all the snacks you can get. If it wren't for the VIP room, you would have had to bring your own snacks OR buy it at the concession stand, which adds up. Needless to say I am always an advocate of going to this things with the VIP tickets or serious coordination with other people to bring your own food and get in on a table. Which is like $400 for 8 people, however if planned accordingly it could be a lot fun. Wine was not the only thing here! They had all sorts of jewelry, chocolates (liquored chocolates!) and Olive Oil tastings. So..if you needed a break from the wine, there were other things to taste. I was so glad to see some of my favorite Wineries there, as well as meet new favorites. Will definitely look for it next year!
