Trying Sonic was a whole experience considering the location on Oahu isn't open yet. I was impressed with how clean this place is for a fast food restaurant! The outside patio is breezy and the lighting is perfect for pictures. There's a huge menu so even picky eaters will find something they'll like. What really stood out was the service. All the workers are kind and joyful. You can tell there's an appreciation for us as customers. The customer service here is exemplary And the rollerskating is cool to see! My order was: Medium Teri Burger Combo Sub Fries/Tots for Mozzarella Sticks Large Cherry Limeade Kudos to Sonic collaborating with the local brand; Aloha Shoyu! The food is made per order so you'll never get a stale fry! I really enjoyed the freshness of the food, it was really hot when I got it. The burger was moist and I was able to taste the sauce in every bite. The mozzarella sticks gave me amazing cheese pulls. The cherry limeade is the classic drink. It's sweet, a little tart and refreshing on a sunny day! Love how they use real limes! TLDR: I was so impressed by Maui's location. From the service to the food, there really isn't any room for critique. I would absolutely come here again. read more

Since we don't have one of these on Oahu, it's kind of our go to when we land on Maui. We chose the drive through thinking it'll be quicker, but it wasn't. It was after dinner time, so we figured it would be quick. There was one car in front of us and we wondered what was taking so long. We were up next and it was the person taking our order. He kept asking what we said about 3 times. We were kind of worried he didn't get one of our items, but he did. When we got to the window to pay and pick up food, it was quick and accurate. Just make sure you are willing to wait and aren't starving. read more

There was no long line when I got through their drive thru but to pickup the food and pay there was a bit of wait. While ordering this lady kept saying "anything else" aren't you supposed to pause and wait; perhaps suggest something. Food tasted good. The cashier seems nice. I wish you can dine in, instead of being outside. The Teri Burger is my favorite read more

We had coupons for 2 free dbl smash burgers and 2 Med cherry limeades. So hell, why not give it a go. Not at all what I thought it was going to be. Drinks were good. Really sweet, but still refreshing. Almost like a Shirley temple. Burgers were just awful. As you can see in the picture, the bun was smooshed, everything was just kinda thrown on. Couldn't finish it. Something tasted off. We waited approximately 10 min at the window before we got our not so fast for fast food. read more

Got to try Sonic Drive In while in Maui and it was good to try something different. I ordered the chicken wrap & bacon cheese burger and both were good for fast food. I liked the wrap, it was just enough food & the flavor was good. The burger was small & simple & I was ok with that. I ordered on the drive in board and it was pretty easy. After about 15 minutes the food showed up & the server was very nice. I didn't want to eat in the car so they have a few chairs & tables you can sit at. Overall it was a good experience, lots of good food options on Maui so not in a hurry to go back anytime soon. Go give them a chance and check it out. read more

Sonic has really gone downhill. The double smash burger I got was just thrown into the box. Not much assembly nor care of presentation. There are always high school kids in and out of the restaurant which is concerning because none of them are working. read more

Ways to order: Drive thru. Drive into an available parking stall and order via the monitor, and wait in your car while your order is delivered to your car. There is also a lanai area, with a couple of monitors to place your order and wait in the lanai area for your order. Food was okay, lots of great milk shakes and desserts to select from. read more

We love a quick trip through the drive thru for a mango cream slush, I haven't had the chance to try their food over here yet but I'm sure it wouldn't disappoint seeing as they nailed our slushies! Easy to navigate to but if you do happen to miss the turn in, you need to make a full loop around to try again so just be on your guard. The building looks new and nice and we had no issues with the customer service or prices (especially for Hawaii). All in all, a good experience! TIPS & TRICKS: * Take a look at the menu to see if they offer any "happy hour" deals! read more

Not much selection unlike the mainland, I didn't like their hotdog I feel like you could get it at Costco for cheap. My other half does love the ice cream here so he does comes here often, my kids and I just get the fries .

Wanted drinks for our drive up the mountain. Tried to order on app and it's not available. They don't use it. Coke Zero available . Clean and user friendly area.

Everytime i goto maui i think about going to sonic and this one time i finally went. I think i been to one once in the mainland.

One day i would like to try more of their food. read more

Aloha, I'm a foodie by nature. I'm always looking for a good hot dog. I decided to stop at Sonic's while hearing to the airport in Maui. It's really close to the airport. Less than 2 miles. That's really convenient especially if you're looking for cheap eats. The airport food is outrageously expensive. I pulled into Sonic's. It sits in the Safeway shopping center lot. It's a nice size building with stairs leading up. Not sure why. I'm use to Sonics having plenty of car hop stalls for folks to order. This location only has 6 and 1 ADA car hop. There's a walk up with a few patio tables. They also have a dual lane DT for convenience as well. The prices are really good compared to other restaurants. You can feed a family well and not break the bank. Well Done I didn't eat my Cheese coney Dog until I got through CLEAR and it was still warm. I am a happy camper. Next time I'll order more. read more

I came in and my food came faster than I expected, my carhop, Camille, was really nice, introduced herself and checked up after we ate and asked us if we needed anything else. Not to mention, she was on skates and the music on the patio made the scenery so much better! read more

Service was great! How ever the "smash burger " was like two THIN slices of cooked well done roast beef" HORRIBLE!!! And I spent $16 on this and got cold fries as well?!?!?! I now totally give up on fast food. read more

Decided to get a treat and ordered the pickle fries and a milk as a snack while shopping on the other side. The fries are to die for, I just love "frickles"! There was a line and a staff member came out and brought my meal to me instead of waiting for the drive through window and took payment. This made for quick service, with a smile, to make sure everyone was getting through the drive through quickly. I really appreciate their going the extra mile. Frickles were soooo good too. read more

Honestly delicious everything but they forgot my tots and the combo was pretty expensive for all that

Their new building is pretty nice. This was my first time going through the drive through. Which had double lanes to order from & even had a door next to the pickup window. So if you're order is ready before you get to the window. Someone can bring your order to you & collect payment. Which is convenient when you're in the Safeway parking lot & want something quick for the ride home. My chocolate Oreo ice cream didn't even make it home. But I had help, ice cream bites for him & cookie ice cream bites for me. I also grew up loving pretzels, so I tend to order my childhood favorite fix every chance I get. Their pretzels are tiny, but perfect size. Even though my tummy might disagree. My guy likes their hot dogs & fries. I'm personally not a hot dog fan but I'll probably try some of his fries next time. Xoxo, ChelsieFletcher read more

I must say this place has the cleanest restrooms I have ever seen at a fast food joint. We live on Oahu and decided to pick up burgers and fries for our sons. I hope they like the treat! Too bad we do not have a Sonic in Honolulu. Although we're the most populated island we're behind when it comes to this stuff. read more

Second time hear in the past two days! lol, see we don't have a sonic on Oahu so we went yesterday before going up to Haleakala and tonight after coming back from Hana! Food is good and service was great Wednesday morning but tonight sound like had a friend of someone in the stall next to us making outlandish orders and request, but was just irritating to have to listen to while waiting for our order. Girl then came out asked what we ordered and turned back and went back inside, my wife said the drink looked to be wrong, came out a second time order was correct but now no straws so we waited a little longer for straws and went about our way home to eat! It's the attention to detail and little things that can be addressed for a greater experience at sonic! read more

Founded in 1953 in Shawnee, OK, the original name was Top Hat Drive-In, a root beer & soda stand that also sold hot dogs and hamburgers. Due to the "Top Hat Drive-In" name already trademarked, the name was changed to "Sonic" in 1959, which also paid homage to their slogan at the time, "Service With The Speed of Sound". I've eaten at Sonic years ago in Pennsylvania. Rumors swirled around 2018 of Sonic entering the Hawaii market but nothing came to fruition. Fast forward to 2023 and Hawaii finally has their first Sonic location on the island of Maui, located in the Hookele Shopping Center (where the new Safeway is) which opened on 2.20.23. MENU: Burgers, sandwiches, hot dog, chicken tenders & popcorn, limeades, shakes, sundaes, breakfast items. The Maui menu is limited but hopefully will expand to include their delicious-looking grilled cheese sammys I see on their commercials. ATMOSPHERE: Like all Sonics, there is no indoor seating, just outdoor seats and drive-up stalls. The Maui location has four oversized tables shaded by photovoltaic panels and six drive-up stalls with one reserved for the handicapped. In addition to the drive thru, there are also two "walk thru" menu boards located next to the outdoor seating area which services walk-up's (card payment only). Super convenient! FOOD: Sonic Cheeseburger Combo - $12.49 The standard burger is ¼ pound and comes loaded with lettuce, chunky cut onions, pickles, tomato, cheese and mayo. Taste-wise, it's reminiscent of a BK Whopper; not a great thing but not a bad one either. I chose tots as my side (fries are available) and unsweetened iced tea for a drink. Tots are tots; I should've tried their fries to compare to other chains. Oh well, next time. SERVICE: Gal taking orders over the speaker at the walk-up was friendly. You can see on the screen what you've ordered so mistakes should be lessened. We sat at the outdoor tables and food was delivered in about five minutes. TIP: No one is on rollerskates/blades here. OVERALL: Welcome to Maui! No luck needed as fast food thrives here. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Super Sonic Double Cheeseburger (tastes like BK) - VN - Burgers Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

Sonic is nostalgic for me. My go tos are always the limeades and slushies! Love their coney dogs, tots and texas toast breakfast sandwiches. For our first Maui visit, I ordered combo #3- Super Sonic Double Bacon Cheeseburger with tots and a cranberry limeade, my husband got combo #4- Teriyaki Cheeseburger with tots and a nerd slushie. Kids got the quarter pound double Cheeseburger from the value menu and we shared mozzarella sticks and nacho fries (they forgot the chili that would've made it chili cheese fries). Burgers were good, tots were on point and my cranberry limeade hit the spot. Make sure to request for dipping sauces to go with your meal. Combos were a little pricey but would happily order from the everyday value menu, share sides and get the limeades, slushies or milkshakes. Sonic brings me back to my college days of stopping through for a late night snack after the club or hanging out with co-workers after work. It's not the best fast food I've ever had, but I'm happy they're here on Maui and looking forward to regularly picking up the slushies, limeades and milk shakes. A big part of the Sonic experience is pulling up into a stall, having the food brought to your car (in the mainland some sonic servers would be wearing roller skates or roller blades), and eating your meal in good company. read more

Mixed emotions about this place as my second time trying to my this place out. Ordered a strawberry limeade. My cup was 1/4 empty when given to me. On top of which it didn't taste like limeade at all. More like strawberry infused red bull. It made me all wired!!! Mozarella sticks was mediocre and the corn dog this time was really oily and stale. No condiments given and customer service thru the window was really rude. Asked about the Fiji card and they made us seem like we were crazy asking such a thing but that's what the sign on the button said. And they knew nothing about it and came out to remove the card. read more

Since a kid, I always liked coming to Sonic's to see the servers on the skates, such an American staple. But Sonic Maui has added their local twist to their menu, specifically with their teriyaki burger, exclusive to their location only! The teriyaki sauce has a little bite to it, making it delicious. Their new smash burger, was filling and satisfying. It has two signature thin patties and double cheese. I also tried the mozzarella sticks and a salted pretzel stick, two of their popular apps. The pretzel was so buttery. For drinks I enjoyed a strawberry limeade that has real fruit and the strawberry slushy. I ended my meal with a creamy m&m milk shake. The staff was so friendly, welcoming and very accommodating. The inside was spacious and modern. I enjoyed my meal outside on their outdoor patio. Last thing, make sure you try the groovy sauce with your tots. It's like a thousand island dressing with a tang, they're made for each other. read more

I haven't had Sonic since being on the mainland and missed it so much, I was too excited to visit Maui and be able to have it again!! We pulled into the stalls with the big screens to order from and decided from the options and placed our order through the intercom system and paid at the machine! Super easy and user friendly. I was a little hesitant when we pulled up based on a lot of the reviews I read about the service and wait here but was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was!! We got our food and everything was exactly the same as the mainland, it was so satisfying and perfect for a quick lunch during my day trip. They didn't have as large of a menu as most Sonic's on the mainland but that was sort of expected. We ordered a chili dog, popcorn chicken, tater tots, soft pretzels, and our favorite drink, the cherry limeade slushie. The slushie flavors are so good but this one is my favorite!! There's a huge chunk of lime at the bottom! The drinks can be very sweet though, so I sort of let mine sit for a bit to water down hehe. We came back later in the evening to get some foods and drinks to bring back home with us on our flight and our experience was slightly different. We tried to place an order and the attendant, through the intercom, asked us what we would like, we tried to order a special of some sort and she said she would go and check to see if they have it for us and then didn't respond for like 10 minutes? That was weird. And then when she came back, it wasn't her, it was someone different and they talked to us like we hadn't already been helped by someone? It was a bit confusing and it turned out they didn't sell what was being advertised which was a little disappointing but whatever. read more

Food is good! The disappointment with this location is that they have a limited menu in comparison to other locations and rarely serve the special releases such as the current "pickle menu" items. It's a bummer. The biggest let down is this location does not allow use of the sonic mobile app for ordering or accumulation of points for rewards. Its a personal preference for me but not being able to order on the app a head of time stops me from visiting because I prefer that over ordering at the speaker. read more

Yo! Jesse , the smoothest waiter on roller skates most def made our first Sonic experience the best possible. So much so, we came back the next 3 days back to back to back. 5 times total for that week. Honestly, heard only disappointing comments and reviews about this place. Was told only good things about their drinks but nah, that Garlic butter bacon burger was ACTION! They got a variety of stuff for everybody. My kids got the corn dog and chicken tenders. Jalapeño poppers are always a go-to appetizer. Everything was good...nothing less than decent. The Red-Bull Rechargers are on my hitlist. If you like RedBull, this is the jam. In fact, im heading there right now to grab a Twisted Lime recharger right now! Yessah!! read more

The ambiance and service at this Sonic Hawai'i location is top-tier. The skaters bring such a unique and fun vibe to your meal. My friends and I have eaten in our car in the stalls and sometimes we like to sit out on the patio when the weather is really nice. The workers are all super friendly and make sure I'm satisfied with my meal. Service is consistently great, and my food always comes out hot and fresh. The Teri and The Sonic Smasher hits the spot every time and is a great spot to hit for a cold drink or sweet treat after work. read more

Nice First Sonic experience with friendly service and nice to have a variety of food to select. Combo meals good deal and can upgrade to a drink of your choice. Where on island can you have a drive up and eat with a delicious chili dog,cheese tater tots and a refreshing slushy with real strawberries! May not have the special items on line and the order person did suggest a nice alternative. Tasty fresh fast food. Drive thru, drive up or outside table eating. Very convenient when your hungry and you have your pet in the car. Park, order,pay,relax, they bring your food to you, eat and off you go! If no park and eat spots open just drive thru.
