    Binge drinking
    Ami A.

    Drove up for drinks and felt like I went back in time. Every spot was filled with trucks and teenagers. Amazing people watching! Lemonade, slushees and milkshakes along with burgers, hotdogs and fries. There is definitely a nostalgic feeling to Sonic. It brings back memories of college and late night milkshakes. Except the servers no longer skate to your car. Go for a greasy burger and a slushee and enjoy.

    Sonic Drive-In on Folly Road on James Island is a really good place to get a quick meal and a good drink. I like the drive in concept, but I usually get out of my vehicle to get some more air. The food here is delicious and the service is really fast and efficient for all that they do. I have been happy with all of the orders that I have made here throughout the years I have been coming here. This Sonic is awesome and a reliable destination when you are hungry.

    I'm in town for the week and this is next door to where I'm staying. Yesterday, I saw the reviews for this place and said nope and drove 15 minutes to a cook out. My sister really wanted a shake but I wasnt willing to drive 15 minutes. I ordered the SuperSonic Double Bacon, a medium fresh banana shake. My sister got a peanut butter banana shake. Despite there being a massive crowd of people we got the correct order and it in less than 5 minutes. Food was hot, shakes were delicious. Great experience, will come back everytime I'm back in town.

    A great stop on the way to the beach. Service was slow but food is what you'd expect at a Sonic.

    The drive thru at this location is pretty slow, especially at night and on the weekends.

    Decent bourbon store for store picks if that's your thing. They cover most basic bases for spirits…read moreotherwise. I found their prices to be pretty standard and a bit higher than Total Wine or Costco etc. No really good deals in here at all and the selection is overall pretty mid. Meh. Beer and wine side is about the same really with a super, super small cigar humidor. Prices in there aren't too bad, but again, the selection for stogies is very limited. It's more to grab one in an emergency-type situation. Tons of free parking lot parking out front. Dont come here to be wow'd by great pricing or variety in selection, but they'll likely have any basics that you'd need for sure.

    I have been coming into this bottle since I first opened! It's always been a wonderful shop with…read moregreat employees! However, I have recently discovered their wide variety of THC/CBD seltzers! I have been in here more time since they carry me than I have been the entire time they've been open! Kenzie is in charge of the area that has all of them. She is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and remembers me every time I come in! Another person helped me today who I've seen in there before, but I failed to get her name. She was also extremely helpful and pointing out a few different And new products! I keep using! Because I cannot reiterate it enough how great this store and their employees are! Whether you're on the liquor side or the beer and wine side, you'll be well pleased with their pricing!
