Old school burgers that are light years better than McD or BK! I don't know why it took me decades to try Sonic, but definitely my new favorite burger place! Prices are comparable to other burger places. The burgers are great! The tater tots are awesome too! read more

We waited in line for 45 minutes and were still In line. All we ordered was 3 milkshakes and we still haven't gotten them. It was like if one person was working the whole thing! Or if there were 50 cars infront of us (there was only 2) did someone order 55 hamburgers and 55 fries but anyway read more

It took 30 minutes to receive our order and our food was made incorrectly. We ordered a chili cheese dog and received a hot dog with relish, mustard, onions, and ketchup. Asked for a replacement, and that took 30 more minutes to make. It's unfortunate, because the hot dog was good, but not one-hour good. read more

Not sure if it's all the time, but we just waited 40 minutes from the time we ordered at the drive thru to when we received our 2 ice creams. When we arrived we were able to pull right up and order as there were only 2 cars waiting in the drive thru already waiting on their order. It was just after 9:30pm. By the time we got up to pay for our ice cream it was 9:56 (according to the receipt) Then we proceeded to notice that not one of the 5 employees we saw was actually working or doing anything. And observed the place looking a mess (even the floor was noticeably dirty from the window) we ended up not driving away with our order until 10:06. We literally sat and watched them do nothing and then it took all of 90 seconds to complete our order and hand it to us. All in all,..40 minutes for 2 ice cream orders is just insane. I also actually took the time to fill out the survey and provide feedback to Sonic as well but the fact that they leave their store number off the receipt is just an added level of annoyance when you can't leave a review without it. I had to google the store to get the store number and then even when you select that you want to be contacted they don't ask for contact info so you cannot be contacted. read more

Fast service, friendly service, great food. Haven't been here in a while but next time I am in Fredericksburg I will definitely be back--this was made by someone who cares about how the food tastes and is presented and it showed :) read more

We ordered through the Sonic app specifically so we wouldn't have to wait 20+ minutes when we arrived, but that's exactly what happened. On top of that, they didn't even get our order right. Missing items, no apology, and by the time we realized and got everything sorted, all our food was cold. Completely defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. Really disappointing experience. read more

I had never tried a Sonic. I'm from the west coast but ever since moving here I see these commercials and think - ok yummy. Finally found one and well ok it was just ok. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Noshing sonic for first time. - Burgers Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Came through not once but twice recently. Jerimiah had a terrible attitude at the speaker & the window. Didn't hop the line even once. And you could here him yelling the n-word and all sorts of swearing through the window. Also said "we ain't mix that shit" while handing me my ice cream. I personally don't think customers should experience this anywhere. read more

It's a sonic. You've been to one, you've been to them all. At first we went to a booth, but waited forever. Then, we decided to go through the drive-thru, which was much faster. However, the little talk box wasn't working properly. After the back and forth with the attendant, he came outside to take our order. To his credit, he (Joe) was very professional and apologetic about the situation, even though we neither needed nor expected an apology. We then promptly received our order and departed. My advice, go through the drive-thru not the booth, especially during peak times. read more

When you watch the car in front of you and behind you get served, but you are told "we're closed", it makes you wonder. Time was 1020pm. I would say it's a funny time to be selective of who you may or may Jordan serve, but it's hard to explain to your 11 year old. I can only assume that who ever the manager on duty condones this behavior. Don't bother responding as I will assume you are only selectively picking me out again. And no I will not return to give you another try, don't want your coupons, or any of that nonsense. I just want you to be aware that some folks notice cars in front and behind them get to order. read more

just went through, got 2 drinks which takes what 2 seconds to do? well i waited at the window for 2 minutes as i watched the guy working stand there and do something idk what either on his phone, talking or just playing with his thumbs. Then i saw him, after 2 minutes, walk over to the drinks and make them. I don't know if he is just plain disrespectful, lazy, or what but it's very disappointing and honestly quite embarrassing for him. He should be very embarrassed. Didn't catch his name but he wore a grey hoodie with the hood up, weirdo you're not cool, and has light brown curlyish short hair and was a very skinny dude. But anyways very disappointing sonic was fast until this guy got hired so i don't think he should work he should go back to staring at his wall all day or vaping in a parking lot. also got the drinks wrong so that's a plus. OH and let's not forget terrible terrible attitude almost like he thinks he's better than everyone else. read more

I ordered a Mahi taco. it had a tiny piece of fish some lettuce and bits of tomat. it was tasteles. our neighboring table had to send their coffee back as it was full of grounds. the waitress explained that the coffee maker was working right. They then had to send the ribs back as they were still cold. ribs are supposed to be Clear Water Grills thing? read more

I've been wanting to try Sonic for a long time. The Chili Cheese Coney was the driest, worst hotdog I've ever had in my life with so little chili and cheese on it that I couldn't even taste it over the salty slim-jim they called a hot dog. The diet cherry limeade had a nasty chemical taste. Maybe the full calorie version would have been good, but this sucked. And I hate crushed ice in my fast food drinks.. it melts TOO fast. Tater tots: These were fine. I'd rather have french fries, but it's nice to mix it up every now and then. Ched R Bites: probably the best of the things I ordered, (but the bar was pretty low). the jalapeños were a little chewy, but the breading and cheese filling was good. read more

I'm sorry but Sonic is only good for their drinks and nothing else. The quality of their food is literally garbage. Due to the fact that they have good drinks I'm giving them 3 stars but guys the food is bad quality. read more

How are you going to give me the right receipt but not the right order? Your jobs are not that fucking hard. I asked for a blast but you gave me a slushee. Genuinely how are you do you mess that up. I really cant think of any reason on why this happened. Get better at your jobs. read more

Beware consumers who are cautious and wanting to be safe. High Risk service here. My experience and opinion Buyer beware read more

Drive in fast food - I get it. However, that doesn't mean the food has to suck. I want to like sonic, but I can't finish the greaseball frozen meat patty of a burger. Hot dogs are so-so ... Definitely nothing to write home about. Haven't tried the chicken for fear of being disappointed. The service was surprisingly quick and the people were friendly. Unfortunately that doesn't make up for an underwhelming product. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

According to my understanding of how the 1950's era drive-ins were run(no I wasn't around back then), the Sonic restaurant's method of operation seems to mirror it. Where to place your order? 1)Drive-thru 2)Drive-in stalls 3)Shaded outdoor seating area Factoring in the weather, I chose Option 3. Whether you're choosing Options 2 or 3, the routine is pretty much the same. After looking over the menu board, you press a button and the operator takes your order. Methods of payment: 1. The menu board accepts credit card payments 2. Cash payments go through the server. Service: Speedy. Chicago Hot Dog: Was thinking of playing it safe with a Coney, Chili-Cheese dog, but then I saw the Chicago. Sitting on top of a soft, poppy seed bun, the Chicago dog has an expansive, flavorful mixture of items ever to go on a dog. Suspecting the celery salt would make everything overtly salty, I was beside myself when the other ingredients(e.g. Pickle, onions, sweet relish, mustard, tomato, etc...) kept the celery salt in check. Other menu items: Breakfast Burritos, Chicken sandwiches, Burgers/Various sodas/shakes/snacks(e.g. Jalapeno peppers, Mozzarella sticks, etc...) Is there indoor seating? No. Outdoor Sound System: Pretty cool to hear some clear sounding, alternative songs throughout the premises. If it weren't for the music, I would've left this place much sooner. Flexible days/times: Open 7 days a week starting at 7AM. What's in the bun? If you want the 1950's style drive-in experience, try Sonic! read more

Yes! Best burger since Fuddruckers! I am hooked just need to bring them to Louisa, Va!!! Please

My wife and I have come to this Sonic location a couple times now and the food here is delicious! Sonic is a fast food restaurant that you park and order from your car, then someone comes outside and brings you your order on roller blades, there's also a drive thru and a small 3 table sit down area outside. Sonic is perfect to come to when it's warm outside! The food here is great! There burgers are just as good as McDonalds and Burger King, if not better! The sauce that they put on the burgers is really amazing! We definitely recommend the Sonic Cheeseburger or Super Sonic Cheeseburger, and of you like bacon, you can get the Super Sonic Cheese tiger with bacon, honestly the Whopper with Cheese to me is the king of all fast food burgers and the Super Sonic Cheeseburger is right behind it! You can order tater tots, French fries or onion rings. The onion rings are good, but there's nothing special about them! The tots are amazing, and the chili cheese tots are even more amazing! We definitely recommend coming to Sonic, and this location has good customer service and you get your food quick and hot! read more

Our food was correct, hot, and good. Ordering was easy and the staff was nice. The lot area was clean. Solid fast food choice.

I was on my way back from Lake Anna and we stopped here. I got my go to which was the breakfast burrito with bacon and veggies. I forgot to check for the salsa so by the time we got back to the highway and I had taken my second bite I was in for a dryer burrito than usual. The burrito was still good. I also got the tater tots and an iced coffee. Both were delicious. This Sonic is further back on Plank rd and with all the traffic lights it takes a while to get here. GPS will take you to the car wash but it is further down. Kind of an easy to pass location if you are not looking for it. read more

This sonic is pretty good but they are always forgetting to put stuff in the order, I got a number 2 with no tomate or cheese but I wanted pickles lettuce and onion. They just slapped some mayo, Ketchup and ONE pickle on my burger. On top of that my brother got their steak grilled cheese with no onion and no mayonnaise, they put the mayonnaise and onion on. Typically my family and I never have any problem with this sonic, whoever works Sunday shifts at night.... they need to get fired. read more

I came to sonic the other day and I got chicken strips and fries with a dr.pepper and the chicken strips were very cold and the fries were burnt and very crunchy I didn't. Like it not one bit and i had bread with my chicken strips and I had seen ants and a hair in my food it was nasty and so unprofessional and not healthy please take of this and wear hair nets Thank you so much-KAREN read more

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I am a huge fan of Sonic!!! We came here for a late-night munchies stop and I was SO ECSTATIC to see Kevin Durant's special slushes on the menu (!!!) (they didn't have the limited time 'High Flyer Slush' as it was available for 1 day (5/11)) - however, these would suffice! YIPPEE! Durant has 2 flavors available: 'The All-Star,' which was the blue raspberry with Nerds, and 'The Game Changer,' which was the Lemonberry with Nerds. I tried both, and I really liked the All-Star - I WANTED TO SWIM IN IT (just a note: it changes the color of your tongue to blue) :P It was refreshing with a lot of flavor, and it had an ample amount of Nerd candies throughout :D Also, just know that you can order any flavored slush and add the Nerd candies within - I just happened to stick with Kevin Durant's specials :D We ordered other goodies as well, and the staff here were courteous, patient, efficient, and oh-so-lovely. The place was happening, with a ridiculously long line at the drive-thru, even at about half an hour before closing. It is kind of a trek, but it's all gooooooood, because Sonic's is worth it :P +Kevin Durant slushes - 'The All-Star' with Nerd candy :O +can add Nerds to any flavored slushes +friendly staff :D read more

After seeing Sonic commercial after Sonic commercial and then not having one in Montgomery County, my friend and I stopped off at the one in Fredericksburg after leaving Charlottesville. Yes, it wasn't a direct route back home, but we had to see what the hype was about. What a disappointment! I would have been better off going to McDonald's or Burger King. I had the bacon cheeseburger toaster. The burger was dry and the bread was supposed to be texas toast, not just plain white toast. The onion rings had a weird sweet taste to them. Like the batter was their french toast batter or something. The only thing I enjoyed was my Cherry Limeade. I wasn't impressed. read more

Customer service is good but the food is lacking. The food is nowhere close to other Sonics, especially in the south. Onion rings are either underdone or overdone. Sad, but from someone who grew up with Sonics, he d recommend eating somewhere else. read more

Grape cream slush = total awesomeness! I would love to have a Sonic closer to where I live in Northern VA. I am totally in love with their cream slushes. So when we were driving home from Richmond I of course had to stop. Their food is okay....like any other fast food. It is really the cream slush that I have a fondness for! read more

We enjoy Sonic often. Great burgers. Yummy Coney Island foot longs! Love their limeades. Yummy ice creams! Simple food but yum!

Whoever was taking orders this morning was super rude and would cut my off while ordering. However, Ben who brought my food out was so nice so he gets 5 stars. I never leave reviews but it was bad. read more

This place is the worst Sonic I've ever been to. In the last week and a half they have screwed up almost every order we have placed. I ordered a chili coney dog, got a cheesesteak. I ordered a caramel sundae, got a hot fudge sundae without the nuts I asked for. I ordered a diet cherry limeade, got a full sugar cherry limeade. I ordered a Coke Zero, got a Dr. Pepper. It is like they give you what they feel like giving you, not what you ordered and paid for. I'm done with them. read more

We get commercials in NoVA for Sonic even though the closest (2 - count em, they have 2 while we have none) one(s) are in Fredricksburg. Nonetheless, we always try to stop at one of the two anytime we're headed in that direction. We were returning from the Madison-Greene county area back towards DC, so this on on rt 3 was convenient. Sonic is delicious as always. Service was a little slower than usual, though it could've been because of the rain. read more

When I went to go get myself something, I was having a really bad day and Eli was able to help me with my drink that I couldn't decide on and help me out with my decision of the color hair I wanted to dye it. It really cheered me up and turned my day around. i absolutely loved his personality so much! Thank you so much Eli! read more

I went here several times in the last few years. One time in 2010 I ate this shit and threw up. Dunno if it was because of that but it did happen. Besides that I haven't had problems going there until this morning I went and got some yummies for the family and I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. That shit was trash. It tasted like if you where to buy... no steal some white playdough by smuggling it between your sweaty ass cheeks. And then covering the as sweat covered playdough with baby pounder droppings from a fat faaaaat fatass from an all you can eat buffet. Then putting that ass sweat baby powder "with a hint of diabetes" playdough meat on some bread and giving it to me to consume. I ain't eet it, I tossed it. The roaches in my house ain't even fucking with it. Yelp says I wrote the pants off this review. I didn't ask consent so... Like In this climate we are in I'm nervous. read more

People are really hard to please according to these reviews..... I dont get it. Sonics are amazing. I use to live across the street from one in Texas but now I have to drive 45 minutes whenever I'm craving a route 44 cherry limeade. Customer service was great. They brought my limeade in rollerblades and the workers were very polite. You can order 3 different ways. Drivethrough, drive in, or at the outside tables. The restrooms were very clean and overall I had a great experience. The cherry limeade was obviously amazing. Please open one in Lorton Virginia!!! I LOVE YOU SONICS and your commercials are hilarious. read more

The service was slow and the food was bad. Nothing else need be said. Two stars instead of one because the location is nice, though miles off of 95. And a sincere apology to my travelling companions for making them detour all that way for this mess! Next KD road trip we will stop at Steak n Shakes. read more

No complaints here as I LOVE SONIC! I repeat...I LOVE SONIC! Growing up in the Sooner state, I've been accustomed to chowing down on a Sonic burger with mayo, tater tots, and a cherry limeade. Since I was in the area it was only natural to order the above and scarf it down with quickness and delight! In fact, I ordered another burger afterward but took my time eating. Service was like any other Sonic experience I've had...fast, accurate, and friendly. I can't wait till my next visit to F'burg which will of course include SONIC ! read more

Dear Sonic Gods... please, please, please build a Sonic in Northern Virginia so I don't have to drive two hours round-trip when I absolutely MUST have a diet cherry limeade! - Love, Jodi, the self proclaimed Sonic aficionado. Oh Sonic, how much I love you, which is why I am going to tolerate the 16 minutes it took me to get my diet cherry limeade Friday night. First, I didn't realize Sonic closed at midnight. Really, what fast food joint closes at midnight these days, but anyway...? I pulled up at 11:48pm. There was a very large truck in front of me with a likewise very large man ordering everything on the menu. (I'm being totally serious too.) When it was my turn I ordered my drink and a corn dog. (I'm high class, what can I say?) The big guy was still in the window when one of the workers popped out of the little door, took my money, handed me my dog, and ran back in for my change. He came back out, handed me my change, I asked him for my drink and he said "oh, you have to get that at the window". Well okay then. A few moments later... big guy drives off... I pull up and BOOM... all the lights go out. The parking lot goes black. A girl pokes her head out the window and asks what I need, umm... a diet cherry limeade. She says "oh yeah, hang on" Few more minutes go by... a guy pokes his head out the window... "We're closed... ", well yeah, I know that. "I'm just waiting for my Limeade"... "Oh yeah", and off he goes again. This happens again... for the third time. This is all going on while I am watching the staff hug, and dance, and laugh... and while I am thrilled they all love their job so much, I just wanted to get my drink, and do home. I finally got my limeade and all was right in the world... but 16 minutes... really? read more

Oh Sonic, we have such a love affair with each other! I think I proved today how much - Martino, LeVert and myself drove almost 160miles round trip just to have some of your wonderful Rte. 44 Cherry Limeade's it was wonderful! A good time was had by all - we loved you so much that we ate twice with you tonight! First go round was all about stuffing our faces after being in the car for an hour or so, second time well we thought better of what we wanted and loved it all right down to the frito pie wrap! We look forward to seeing you again sometime soon - Heck we even talked about getting a franchise just so we could have rte. 44 Cherry limeades when ever we wanted them and we thought what a great idea for DC! read more
