She walked over like a song missing its chorus--tray in hand, but feet flat on the ground--no wheels, no whir, just quiet footsteps where there should've been rhythm. And still, the food hit like a favorite track on repeat--roller skates or not, Sonic served up joy. The ocean water hit like a glass symphony in a heatwave--crisp, cold, and clearer than a fresh thought. Each sip snapped the sun's grip on my throat, like tiny glaciers dancing down to my core. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Sonic ocean water - Burgers Near Me - Edgewater, Maryland

Constant issues with this location over the past 3 months. First the blast machine wasn't working but ordering ahead via the app didn't show this, which led to us receiving soupy milkshakes. Car hop didn't say anything but we immediately noticed the error at first sip. When we asked for the blasts to be remade we were told the machine was out of order and there was no way to notate this on the app (We received a refund). Most recent issues have also stemmed from the app - for weeks (3-4) the Solomons location shows offline in the app and they will not honor the deals nor prices listed in the app. The establishment has removed the ordering equipment from several stalls although it mostly looks clean around the ordering areas, it makes you wonder if this location is on its way out. read more

We stopped here on our way back from a trip. We were all hungry and in need of gas. We figure out our orders and ring the bell on the ordering machine. It says we need to wait. So we wait, and wait, and wait. Another car pulls in a few down from us and orders almost immediately. Uh, ok!? We push the button again. No change. Food is brought out to the other car. Our machine still says waiting. Another car pulls in and orders. Annoyed, we drive away without food. read more

This is only my 3rd time at Sonic...OK, SC & MD. I've only had food at the one in OK and I wasn't a fan but I do like their slushies and milkshakes. This is actually the closest Sonic to me at the moment until the one at Steeplechase is built. I missed the 1/2 of drinks time by a few minutes. I got the turtle shake and it was tasty. read more

Called to make sure they were open I called 5 times - hours of course say midnight - which is great but in today's world I need to verify places our open even if their website says they are. No one answered for five calls. So either they aren't open as advertised or there was no one there to answer a phone for 5-10 minutes. read more

We just left sonic after placing a mobile order for 3 cherry limeades with mango. The runner serviced everyone. He kept staring at us but never brought out our drinks. We patiently and quietly waited for 20 minutes. We had no other option but to go to the drive thru and speak to someone. They had an attitude and asked us what we ordered and the name of the order. No apologies at all. The girl then asked how much was the order and she gave us cash. We have been here over the years and have never been met with such disregard and unprofessionalism. We wondered if they were racist and just didn't want to serve us because of our ethnicity. If I could leave a review with 0 stars I would. read more

Great customer service! I wasn't the biggest fan of the burger. It definitely needed some more umph to it like seasoning. Onion rings were good! Chili tots were decent, too. The corn dog and regular hot dog were middle of the line. Wish they would come out with a sugar-free drink or find a way to make their slushy mix without sugar because they do have sugar-free syrup flavors. It was busy, and we did get our food fast!

I love Sonic's milkshakes. They are so thick and tasty. I wish they would bring back the Classic Yellow Cake Batter. It was the best milkshake ever. But in its absence, I love anything banana flavored. I love that their food is made to order, so it is hot and fresh. They bring your food out to your car or to your table if you are sitting at the tables/picnic tables. Plus I love when they have their "Happy Hour", half off your favorite drinks. You gotta love that! Lol! read more

Service and food was great, but the bathroom looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the store opened a few years ago. Literally , feces all over and no toilet paper. So as long as you don't need to use the restroom, you'll be fine. The men's bathroom was even worse and clogged. read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Placed a mobile order at 7:10 waited 20 minutes for them to finally come out with slushies and shakes that were completely melted and missing kids toys, the hotdog for one meal and tots for another meal. They take the drinks back and we wait another 10 minutes until we finally hit the button and asked what's going on. They said we will have it right out to you. Waited another 20 mins for another melted shake and the carhop to ask what's were the rest of the drinks. Waiting on the refund now. read more

It was a beautiful, sunny day, and I was running errands with the sunroof open. I was in the mood for "a little something" and I remembered that Sonic was nearby. Brilliant! Ordering was easy and a very nice, young attendant brought my food out very quickly. The chocolate shake was the bomb. Crispy chicken sandwich was good too. There were plenty if spaces open and no standing in line. I'll have to get there more often. read more

I wanted to try the s'mores milkshake. They were out of the chocolate pieces so they used brownie pieces instead. I'm sure it's better that way. It's a good milkshake but it doesn't really taste like a s'more milkshake to me. I could definitely taste the graham cracker crumbs & chocolate. It's lacking on marshmallow taste for me. The marshmallow whip on top wasn't enough. Next time, I would ask for some marshmallow whip in the milkshake. Don't get me wrong, the shake was delicious. You can't go wrong with a shake that uses ice cream and mix-ins. It's a hundred times better than those premixed shakes that come out of a machine. It just needs more marshmallow taste. read more

I've been to this locations a few times over the past month. I'm amazed that people actually go there to get some of the worst fast food I've ever had. What am I missing? My hamburger bun was dry and tough. They same was true for the chicken sandwich. On top of that, the chicken sandwich was TINY! It was 1/3 the size of a normal sandwich. Honestly, the entire thing would fit in the palm of my hand. The only thing I liked was the milkshake. Lesson learned. read more

Not worth the heart disease anymore. Sonic used to be a rare treat because of its location. However now it's almost not even a thing. Overall, we've been second guessing our decision to go there a lot. We've had frequent wrong orders and mixed up orders, payment processing issues where we would order online, pull up and them telling us at the LAST MINUTE they don't accept Apple Pay. Our last visit (this past week) yielded the wrong order (cheese fries instead of cheese tater tots) which were not good at all. Now, I will say they are currently understaffed and that could be a cause; however it not an excuse for poorly prepared food. I hate that this happening currently because again this is rare treat but we might strongly consider going to another location. read more

They work cheap, sometimes I do not understand how people can work and be so slazy and then you complaint to the company and it doesn't matter how many times you try to explain with words and photos they go back to you asking for more information. No matter how hungry I'll get or craving for Sonic I will not nor recommend this one. You can do much better Sonic. read more

Today, after several recent visits to the Edgewater, Maryland franchise, I decided that I need to submit my recent disappointment in service, product, and personnel. For years, I have enjoyed the Sonic product.  The Edgewater, Maryland franchise is located in an easily-accessible location; the service, historically, fast; the product, well-prepared and packaged. Until about six (6) months ago. Today, I sat at the Drive Thru microphone for up to five (5) minutes.  When I drove to the window, nobody recognized I was there for several minutes.  I knocked on the very blurred window. Then, was met by [what my receipt documents] Carhop:  Pat with a nervous "The next time, just wait.  We will get to you.  We have a line." Then, when I ask how they knew I was at the microphone box, "Pat" advised me that am audible and visible signal.  Then, added that they were training a new Drive Thru employee. I would have been more sympathetic, except, my recent visits at the franchise Drive Thru so similar, but different. Please, do not let this franchise fold under bad service and/or product.  Word travels fast. read more

I use to love the food here but the menu items I got tasted sweet. There was nothing savory about my meal. The onion rings weren't crispy enough and tasted like a funnel cake. The burger as well. This has been my experience for awhile now but I figured my taste buds must have been off. Lastly, the cost of food continues to rise but the quality of the food declines. read more

We drive 30 minutes to get to a Sonic. This last visit to the one in Edgewater will be the last. Worst drive through experience ever. They are out of several items and the employee was rude about it, as if we should know they were out of onion rings. When we got to the window the order was amazingly incorrect. My husband asked the employee to fix it, he threw our money back at my husband, called him an f-ing asshole and told us to leave. I know that there is a staffing shortage, but shame on Sonic for hiring such a rude young employee to be the face of their organization. read more

Over the past year, we have come here a few times, and the pull-up windows are always closed. We are always told to go through the drive-through instead. We aren't given a reason why, either. What's the point of being called a "Drive-In" if you can only use the drive through. The moment we see the drive-in is closed, we leave. We have even gotten there, been told it's drive through only, then see some people getting serviced at the drive in. Find a different location because this one just doesn't want the customers, apparently. read more

Good food, good time for food to come out, and good service, you should try going there if you see this

I had never been to Sonic (shocker!), so we headed here one weekend for me to try it out. The menu layout was a bit overwhelming- things would be suggested to me (e.g., "how does the corn dog sound?" or "how does this flavor milkshake sound"?) and I wouldn't be able to quickly find it on the menu because things were in all different places. Obviously not a problem if you've been to Sonic before, but I was a bit overwhelmed for it being my first time. We ended up ordering tons of food, and it lasted us for multiple meals. You park, order, and pay by card at your parking spot. Then someone brings out the food and your receipt. Our food came out within a few minutes- it was pretty quick. My favorite items were the mozzarella sticks and the real fruit slushie. I would go back for those two items alone! The milkshake was pretty tasty as well, and I'd say their burgers were average, but probably above average for fast food. I also tasted the corn dog, and it was pretty solid. I wanted to try some items from their breakfast menu, and the internet says they serve breakfast all day, but there was no breakfast menu displayed, so we were a bit confused and ended up not ordering anything or asking the server. My only other complaint was that it was hard to hear the person I was ordering from over their system- I had to ask her to repeat things several times. Other than those two issues, I was a fan! If I could add something to my dream wish list, it was that you could order on the board similar to how you would order online- add one item at a time and then submit electronically. I had to write everything down we wanted to order on my phone as we were discussing the menu, and it felt a little silly. Overall, two thumbs up! I get why people love Sonic now. I wish there were locations closer to where I live, but I'll definitely be back when possible! read more

Not enough people working. Avoid at all costs unless you like cold old burgers and fries!

At $15 hr to flip burgers you'd think that after 3 times they'd get the order right. Absolutely ridiculous. Also they don't speak English. For crying out loud. Went inside to get my refund. The place is absolutely filthy. Will not patron this or any Sonic again. read more

I had gotten the 3 piece tender dinner box with a sprite and honey mustard. I received the items but my sprite was basically carbonated water. And my chicken was cold wasn't even done. I didn't even get my honey mustard what type of kids are a working here! read more

TYLER IS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE WORKER I HAVE EVER SEEN. my friend and i went to sonic for a little pick me up as we do about 8 times a week. My friend ordered a CHERRY LIMEAID SLUSH (so good btw) but when we saw the long haired skinny white boy approaching our vehicle with our midnight snack, we knew that something had gone awry. How did we get to this point? What had happened in this young mans life to attribute to such dissatisfactory service? Tyler rudely hands us our beverages and had gotten my friends order wrong. It was in fact NOT a cheery lime aid slush but a shirley temple soda! When this was brought to tyler's attention he muttered some strange satanic sounding phrase and walked off. We were forced to order again and pay a second time. I love sonic but Tyler's behavior is UNACCEPTABLE and drastic measures need to take place. -Karen read more

Solid. That's a pretty good summation, I think. You know what you're getting into with Sonic. It's drive-in fare (pseudo-fast-food, really), and it's not what most would call 'healthy.' BUT! It is tasty. Sometimes, that trumps everything else. The problem is consistency. I don't know how, but I have managed to have a myriad of experiences in the few times I've been there. Most are in the middle, but there is the occasional forgettable or unforgettable one, as well. Issue: food quality. Sometimes the tots are overly greasy. Sometimes the dogs are swimming in liquid bun. Other times, everything comes out perfectly. It's a crap shoot, and not something one looks forward to (the guessing game). Still, we don't have many in Maryland, so we make do with what we have. When they are spot on, the boneless wings are amazing. Same with the hot dogs and burgers. When not on... well... they're just off. I hope you always have a great experience there, and that becomes your consistency with them. Maybe mine will improve, we'll see. read more

The only thing good is a shake. Food always cold. Fries suck. Burger not bad but cold.

Stopped in with my husband looking for a junky little treat after a disappointing afternoon. We ordered a chili dog, large mozzarella sticks and a large brownie/cookie dough BLAST. I'm here to discuss the blast. What arrived appeared to be a massive foam cup of delights. There was a crack in the side of the cup, and it was already spilling. We were willing to overlook that: Topped with a generous swirl of what I'm pretty sure is Cool-Whip, and sprinkled with 3 brownie chunks and 4 sketchy little nubbins of cookie dough-- the domed top offered a tantalizing hint at what lay beneath... We had high expectations. Too high, as it turns out. I don't know if I am more perplexed by what WASN'T in the shake, or by what WAS. Each spoonful was indeed a mystery. We quickly realized this was a bunch of blended vanilla ice cream. And precious little else. Eagerly hoping to stumble upon another chunk of brownie or dough, we soldiered on. During the hunt, I uncovered a sizable wad of paper, and, later, a red string. Why continue? You might ask. Well, in this family we don't quit. Unsure of what was to follow, (A paperclip? A finger? What happened at that blender? We may never know), our spirits filled as the cup emptied- we laughed at the ridiculousness of it all. We made it to the bottom with less than two brownie chunks and a dusting of dirt-like specks of what was hopefully dough. Three stars taken for the terrible blast consumed, two stars given for the blast we had in the process. read more

Wait 15ish minutes just to place the order. I took my food home to eat, cause I was tired of sitting there. I get home and my tots are cold (that can happen with the drive). But I pull out my burger #1cheese, and it only has mustard. No lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, ketchup... nope just mustard and cheese. Lame!! read more

Why does Sonic get four stars??? Because they hands down make the BEST root beer floats. Nothing compliments a chill summer evening like this semi frozen delicacy. It is also worth noting that the rest of their menu is solid as well. Their chili is among the top in the game and embarrasses Wendy's. Cool Yelp stuff, I checked in and got free tater tots. They were dynamite like my boy Napoleon. read more

North Carolina SONIC is still tops! This location isn't half-bad though. Opening Week was booming, of course and went without any major hitches (service-wise). However, my order was correct, but the food wasn't piping hot. Can't say I'm ever OK with lukewarm tater tots, but...I gave them a break because it was Opening Week and everyone was trying to get acclimated and be accomodating to customers at the same time. My most recent visit was better. This SONIC location is good enough to hold me over until my next trip 'down South' to get the real deal. read more

It's Sonic so when you go you know what to expect: burgers, hot dogs, fried food on top of fried food, ice cream, shakes. I personally like Sonic as a fast food option. I think I like the novelty of it, being that there isn't one in my immediate area (yet). The food is ok, nothing amazing. I prefer the hot dogs to the burgers and the fries aren't anything special. They do sell tater tots which is unique given that most places don't. What I really like is that they serve their full breakfast menu all day, that's something that hardly any other fast food place in this area does. In fact, I can't even think of one besides them that does. Also, they offer a huge variety of drink options with their slush menu AND half priced shakes and slushed after 8. SCORE! I don't have super high expectations when it comes to fast food restaurants. As long as the food comes out as I order it and within a reasonable amount of time, the staff is friendly and the place is clean I'm typically ok. If I want a fine dining experience I'll go somewhere nicer, but for what it is I'm satisfied. I'd recommend sonic to someone looking for a quick, cheap, tasty bite. read more

This was the worst experience I've EVER had. Extented time waiting after pressing the red button. After 10 mins of waiting , someone FINALLY got to me. She taken my order , and never ended it. 7 mins later,I pressed the button again, and try to confirm that my order is good. The guy that spoke to me sounded clueless and out of it. And STILL, wrong order when it came to the car. Stale fries, 1 order of fries missing . My drink tasted horrible. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS LOCATION!!!! read more

Although it's a drive to get here, sometimes you want what you want and you make the drive anyhow. I enjoy the variety at Sonic's and the vibe. You can walk up and order, use the drive-thru or pull into one of the stalls and enjoy your purchase on site. They have happy hour everyday and even morning and late evening specials. There is an option to sign up for promotions via text too. I haven't been done wrong yet with their milkshakes and I'm still a fan of the limeades. Each time I've come here the customer service is on point and no attitudes. Make sure you tip your carhop for excellent service. There are a few carhops that don rollerblades/skates and give it that back in the day feel. Turning into the area can be a little challenging since it's on a busy street. When exiting, use the rear exit and turn right and exit near the light to avoid trying to merge into traffic. They pay attention to the customer's order and you can pay at your stall or you can pay your carhop. Great place to unwind after a hectic day and you can bring the kiddies too. read more
