Smashburger not as pretty as their picture

The wait to be acknowledged was several minutes - at least 5. We placed our order and it took extraordinarily long to get. We were actually getting ready to leave without our food when an elderly woman missing many of her teeth showed up with our food. Then asked for a tip. Yikes! It took so long to get this far - 15 minutes - what good service were we tipping? The smash burger was very dry and seemed like it had been sitting under heat lamps for a while. The strawberry cheesecake shake tasted good but was more like extra chilled milk. It probably sat around while they overcooked the burger. The peanut butter Oreo shake was good. Alas, we will never come here again.

Gross.

Really sonic. This food is probably HOURS maybe days old. So gross. I know whoever picked this up and put it in the bag knew it was not edible. So unhappy.

Love Sonic BUT disappointed Me today I'm a huge Sonic Fan but there's isn't one in my county. I was helping a friend move and she lives maybe 10 minutes away from Sonic. We pulled up to the Sonic Drive Thru and there's a big hand written sign that reads, NO Apple Pay. I inquired and apparently Sonic doesn't take any digital credit cards. Unfortunately, I only have my digital wallet on me today. I don't have cash on me because who carries that anymore?! Also, I was helping my friend move so I don't hand my purse on me. Basically, it boils down to, no Sonic for me tonight. I sincerely hope they update and upgrade their system to accept digital currency in the future.

Nasty stuff in the tea

Ordered my food. My drink was an unsweetened tea. I noticed after I left the tea has a lot of crap floating in it. I call it spout funk. I imagine the container isn't cleaned properly. That made me wonder about the food quality after seeing that. I couldn't eat it. Disgusting. I am glad the cup is clear.

Drive-through window
LeAndra M.

I swear the only time I go to this place is because of my five-year-old who loves the French toast. Nothing is convenient about this place. There's slow and still don't even accept google Apple Pay or any thing like that. there's nothing that keeps you wanting to come back. OK I take that back maybe the tater tot's. But at night time you can't even see that there's a sonic in the parking lot at the lights to the Walmart go out and sonic seems not to have any lights also. Many times you can't tell if this place is open or close because there's not much going on. back in the day I used to love going to sonic for a nice cold drinks and great snack food. gone are the days and it could just be this location, but this is the only one we have nearby in Frederick, and they have a lot of stepping up to do if they want to remain in business.

Chili cheese dog

I do not recommend this branch of Sonic. We were not happy of the food we ordered. It appears that they do not have a microwave? Please refer to the photos below. The grilled cheese is not toasted, the cheese are not melted , the tater tots are cold and the cheese is cold as well. The only thing good is the convenience of waiting in the car.

Half wrapped chicken
Caitlin T.

I decided to try this place even though I saw the bad reviews. They were mostly about it taking a long time and we were ordering ahead using the app. How bad could that be? Bad. We still waited 15 minutes for our food. The chicken tenders were stone cold. The iced tea was so syrupy it made McDonalds sweet tea taste unsweetened. The chicken sandwich was half unwrapped. I called and they said to come to the drive thru to get replacement tenders. We waited for another 10 min and didn't even get to the window so bailed on it. Stay away from this place!

Pretzel Twist
DeAndre J.

This was my first time visiting Sonic as I'd heard a lot about it but we don't have one super close to one in our area. So my girlfriend and I decided to check it out as she'd been before but it was my first time. She loves the warm pretzel twists they have and I am also a fan now. We also got Burger meal combos with tater tots and Sonic blasts. I got a footlong coney hot dog as well. The service was good as our food didn't take long once we place the order. This is a very casual place that offers a wide variety of menu items for decent prices. If you're looking for just standard American menu items this place might be up your alley. This is in line with other fast food places so you have to set your expectations as such. All in all not a bad visit but I don't think it's worth going out of your way for. This is literally an "if you're in the area type of place stop by" but we live like 25 minutes away. Still glad I came to try it though!

This is a iPad order and wait for your number to be called kind of place. They are allergy mindful, however, not the best in executing said allergies. I had to ask one of the workers to not touch the fries inside of the dairy and egg free kids meal. And replace it because he had already touched the bread that was buttered. So just to be mindful for those who might have dairy or egg allergies. The bun has egg and they butter them during the toasting process. Burgers: 4/5 As for the burgers, they are a Smashburger style and they have a crisp outside texture and juicy inside. Overall, I would say that the burgers are pretty solid burgers. The fries and the onion rings are pretty great, but the onion rings are really good if you are a fan, totally get them. Overall, this is a casual burger place that has a bar attached, a solid burger! It is a little bit expensive. I think we dropped $70 for two kids burgers and three regular burgers with fries and onion rings. But I'd go again!

You order inside at the counter and then they call your name on the loud speaker when it's ready for pickup at the drive thru or the counter (depending on whether you ordered it to go or not). I had a cheeseburger with tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and mayo, and a side of fries. The burger was classic and totally delicious. The fries were very good, too. I ate my lunch at one of the picnic tables on the property, which was comfortable and fun (but they don't have bathrooms FYI). The service was friendly, and the place has tons of retro charm. I'd definitely go back for another meal - maybe a milkshake or other dessert with my burger next time? A fun, fast, casual meal. A charmer in Frederick, just off 70.

Driving through the area late at night, we stumbled across Wag's with a craving for burgers. Though we weren't there to drink since we had a drive ahead of us, we loved watching the other patrons enjoying the bar scene. With daily specials and a great basement vibe, I can see why people love Wags. As for the food: the burger was just alright - but what can you expect when your meal is less than $10 per person? It honestly was perfect for the price point. The Wag Burger claimed to have a special sauce but we didn't taste it, which was fine because the burger was juicy, greasy, and hit the spot. The Philly cheese steak had a bit more flavor than the burger and was also a solid choice. Fries are fresh and made in-house, and I appreciated that you can salt them yourself and decide what toppings you might want to add. The menu is honestly huge for a dive bar, and all the food was solid. Shoutout to the staff here because after hearing how some drunk customers were treating them, they deserve all the tips in the world. Despite the staff being berated, dealing with intoxicated patrons threatening to run around nude, all while waiting tables with ease and kindness - you all deserve raises.

I arrived at White Rabbit Gastropub around 1:45pm on a beautiful mid-June Saturday for a solo…read moreadventure lunch. I had driven two hours and was hungry, but I was also committed to making good decisions. Or at least mostly good decisions... The hostess offered me a seat at the second-floor bar rather than the quoted 25-30 minute wait. Great! Solo diners love surprise upgrades. Unfortunately, when I got upstairs, the one "available" seat had apparently been claimed by a diaper bag and a giant straw sunhat belonging to the woman sitting next to it holding a too-little-to-walk baby sitting at the bar. Uhhh...this isn't going to work. Back downstairs I went. I gave them my name and number, found a shady spot outside, and settled in for what I assumed would be a long wait. Five minutes later, my table was ready. Thank you, Universe! My server greeted me with water immediately, explained the QR code menu situation, and told me not to order through the app because she'd be right back. No worries, friend. I'd already done my homework. I knew exactly what I wanted. One Martha Stewart's Prison Pizza ($22), please. (Sausage, broccoli, ricotta, Calabrian chili peppers, lemon oil, and sea salt.) I asked for the chili peppers on the side because I know myself. I like adventure. I don't enjoy possibly setting my mouth on fire. And a Diet Pepsi ($3.50), because balance. While I waited, I people-watched, which is one of my favorite hobbies. White Rabbit was PACKED. The patio was full. The downstairs bar was full. Upstairs was full. Couples, groups of girlfriends, older folks, younger folks, families, solo diners...everyone seemed happy to be there. The place itself is pretty small, which explains the wait. Six tables downstairs, maybe eight bar seats, more seating upstairs, and a constant dance of servers carrying food through the same front door customers use. Add the "please wait to be seated" crowd gathering in the narrow hallway and I'd describe things as organized chaos. But once I was seated, I was perfectly comfortable and out of the traffic pattern. One cool touch I noticed: outlets and USB ports built right into the front of the bar. Maybe that's common and I've somehow missed it all these years, but I thought it was pretty neat. Then my pizza arrived. Oh good lawd. OH. GOOD. LAWD. This pizza was SO GOOD! I knew from the first bite that I was in trouble. There was no sauce, which surprised me at first, but after approximately three seconds I no longer cared. The sausage was plentiful. The broccoli added texture. The ricotta was creamy and rich. And that lemon oil?! That lemon oil set it off! Everything just worked together perfectly. The Calabrian peppers arrived on the side exactly as requested. I bravely sampled a very small amount on my fork before desecrating my pizza and quickly determined that folks with stronger heat tolerance than me will absolutely love them. They were just a little too spicy for my delicate tastebuds. Thankfully, the pizza was incredible without them. And those slices? MONSTERS. I ate one and seriously contemplated a second before reminding myself that I had dessert plans elsewhere. A box was requested. Self-control was exercised. Barely. As a solo diner, I also want to give White Rabbit extra points. Multiple staff members checked on me throughout the meal. I never felt forgotten, rushed, or weird sitting by myself. Everyone was warm, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable. I really appreciated that. My total bill came to $32.44 including tip which felt really reasonable given the amount of pizza I consumed and brought home. Worth every penny. I'm already scheming my next two-hour drive back. Maybe a smashburger. Maybe those Brussels sprouts everyone keeps raving about. Maybe another pizza. Maybe all of it! I highly recommend checking out White Rabbit. Make it a destination, not just a stop while you're in the area. Don't let the size of the place or the wait scare you off. It's totally worth it. PRO TIP: If you park in the Church Street Parking Garage, look for the staircase labeled "STAIR 3." White Rabbit is literally right outside the door at the bottom. No hide-and-seek required!

The inside was packed. The pizza could have been hotter. It felt like it may have been sitting for a few minutes before being brought to the table, as we were able to eat it right away without having to let it cool down. The chicken Caesar cutlet, however, was amazing! I would skip the pesto on the fries next time, as I didn't realize they came with it. Overall, we had a good experience and will definitely be back!
