First of all, this isn't the place for grub; it's all about the DRINK and when you're thirsty, THIS is the place to go. A cheap escape from the nearby outlets. Lemonades, slushes, teas - tart, sweet, creamy, bits of fruit. A strawberry lemonade, bits of strawberry, lemonade just as good as Chik Fil A. Thirst quenched and immediately satisfied. The hubby went for a cherry cream slush; ice cream meets slush, a perfect pairing. Just graze over the longish list of beverages, push a button, speak into the menu board and within a mere few minutes, someone approaches with your yummy beverage. Ahh... read more

We got there on a Sunday night close to closing ( 12 midnight ) at around 11:20 pm. First we parked at a stall, then was told to pull into another one since she couldn't hear us. So we did but then she told us to drive to drive thru since she still can't hear us well. So we did. She was a young lady. It took a while for the food to be ready. Food service time was poor. Multiple mistakes on our order such as medium totes instead of large. Forgot the cheese on Philly cheesesteak. Forgot to give us our order of coney dog. No forks/ napkins/ ketchup. The young lady did not apologize but instead roll her eyes. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - LANCASTER, Pennsylvania

We don't have a Sonic near us in DC. I get excited by the seasonal flavors. This location didn't have the one I wanted. We got ripple fries and cheese sticks. I had no idea that marina sauce could come in packets like honey & peanut butter. Yay! I asked for extra. The ripple fries were decent. The cheese sticks were good. I warmed up the marina sauce in the hotel microwave ( in a different container). This location is by Tangier outlets. Watch for traffic and other drivers. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - LANCASTER, Pennsylvania

I'll always give sonic a positive review, I love their ice and their ample appetizer menu. I will say that I think that their quality has gone downhill the last few years but that could be that I've grown out of fast food a little these past few years. Always great service and I can't get a better setting than my family in the car. read more

Sandwiches good; however, our 3 Route 44 drinks were more ice than drink and at the price charged. Unbelievable!!! They usually give mints. So for a $48 order for 3 people we got 1 piece instead of 3. We had to ask for 1 missing sprite we paid for. Seriously, cutting corners. We expected more for $48. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - LANCASTER, Pennsylvania

This location used to be so wonderful, but now not so much... When we first got there, we were having issues with ordering our food on the app (I know it's not this locations fault) so we just decided to push the button and order while parked. Literally 10 minutes go by after pushing the button and we hear nothing. Then finally a woman comes on and tells us that the parking delivery is now closed, but we can go through the drive thru. 45 minutes later, we finally order our food and the woman taking our order was extremely nice. They guy at the window handing our food, not so much. Now for me this was the final straw: I finally get my food and realized I was missing my Texas toast. I got it as one of my sides for my meal. We go back to the window to tell them that It's not included, and then they bring out a toasted burger bottom bun. I wish I was joking but I'm not. When they gave me that they told me it's because they're out of Texas toast and that's why it wasn't included in the first place. 1.) why didn't you tell me that when we were ordering or when you gave me my food that there was no more Texas toast??!! 2.) if you're out of it, you couldn't have just asked me if I wanted another side instead??! 3.) the "Texas toast" the gave me wasn't even buttered or seasoned. I probably wouldn't have given them such a negative review if that didn't happen, because the other food I ordered and milkshake were good. But it's clear that there's a huge lack of communication at this location which makes this place fail in my book. read more

I did an Uber Eats order that was over $140 and when I received my order half of my items were missing and my two year old nephew had to go without dinner . Now it's one thing to forget something little but to miss a whole meal is absolutely ridiculous and when I called to ask them if I could come get the food that I was missing they said it was out of their hands and there wasn't anything they could do for me. I work in the customer service industry as well and I understand it can get a little overwhelming and you sometimes miss items in the orders but never once have I experienced the way my call was handled tonight . The crew should've been a little more apologetic when someone calls and says a two year old is missing their food and won't be able to eat with the rest of the family. read more

We visited Sonic and used the drive-thru. The attendant didn't answer us until we yelled "hello?" several times. When she (Nalha) finally answered, she spoke as if we were bothering her with our food order. This type of entitled and insulting attitude is why we are not returning to this restaurant again. read more

The hotdogs are good with my chocolate coke (this is my cheat day) but the customer service is ok. Abraham was very pleasant.

Beware of this place: they forget about you. I ordered two shakes in the "drive in" part of the restaurant by pushing the red button, paid and thought all was well. Twenty minutes go by, and after watching several other cars be served and leave, I pushed the button again wondering about my order. I get assured "it'll be right out". It never came. I had to shout to a person delivering food to get anyone else to serve me because the button is useless, and this individual, who I assume was some kind of shift lead, then basically ACCUSES ME OF LYING claiming that his guys said they brought it out. We never received it! He has a "new crew" he says, but no apology no making it right, nothing. It's been thirty minutes at this point, I've wasted gas in my tank idling the car in 90 degree heat, and I ask for a refund. He does so, although I still don't see the money back on my card, so I essentially wasted gas to be accused of lying, leave empty handed and furious. STEER CLEAR: the overpriced ice cream is not worth it. read more

Sometimes you just want to go get a milkshake in your pajamas. That's really about all this place is good for. The service is awful, the location is hard to get in and out of, and it's definitely not the best food. But, milkshakes in your pajamas. If you can stand to put real pants and shoes on, though, I recommend going down Route 30 and getting out of your car at Five Guys. Way more friendly and helpful service and the shakes are worth the extra effort. I was reminded of that on this last trip to Sonic. read more

Nothing wrong here. Juicy n delicious! Except today. No ketchup on my burger but lots of mustard! This place lol. read more

I'm not usually one to leave bad reviews but this one just made me so upset. First off, we sat in the drive through for almost 5 minutes solely discussing what I wanted on my sandwich. All i wanted was a chicken sandwich with lettuce and add pickle no tomato or mayo. when I open the wrapper, it had lettuce tomato and mayo with no pickles note we had to pay extra for the pickles it's unbelievable how careless these workers can be. read more

Eh .. not for me. I really love the drive up concept. The lot is really clean and the business is in a great location (next to Dutch Wonderland and across from Tanger Outlets). The food was blah... Had chicken sandwich, burger and kids meals. It felt so greasy and fast food type. Just not for me. We won't be back. read more

Sonic Drive-In on route 30, Lincoln Highway East in Lancaster Pa. They just built this Sonic last august. They are way more common down south (we went to a friends in Fort Benning, Georgia and they must have had 4 Sonics in town) You can pull into the locatio nand they have like 25 drive-up menus where you jsut park and order. then after a certain amount of time the waitress brings it out to your car. They have great overpriced milkshakes. I dont like the idea that you cant pay with cash at the drive thru window though. The current rumor is that they're building one on Progress Ave in Harrisburg. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Kids cheeseburger. Without a hamburger patty - Burgers Near Me - LANCASTER, Pennsylvania

Good, for fast food. I stop here on my way to visit family. Best soda's and drinks. Diet Dr. Pepper... with Limes and Cherries (WOW!) and the happy hour 2-4pm when drinks are 1/2 off, brilliant! Hot dogs are great, corn dog are great, love the sides. Beware... never had a greasier burger in my life... will avoid that in the future. To the person who said that the food came out too fast... um, you realize that it is fast food right? Fast is in the name. read more

Double bacon cheeseburger was okay.first tine I every had it was much better. The philly cheesecake was nasty. Tater tots not worth getting and r the chicken tenders sandwich pain and nasty. Last time we come here. The waiter was nice that why they get a two. read more

Usually i don't have any problems but i noticed tonight that the speakers were blown in spot 24 and the person taking my order needed me to repeat it three times when finally a manager came on to take it again a fourth time. Surprised the order was correct and it was good thats why i am giving three stars instead of two. read more

Slowest Sonic I ever been too. This is ridiculous. I wish there were other options around here. Then my food was luke warm...not to mention the cashier either was not paying attention or cannot hear through the speaker system I am more frustrated then I am hungry at this point. read more

Terrible experience. Missing food. Order was incorrect for what we did receive. Forget trying to get your money back! We can't help you, you have to call corporate. Call corporate and they say they can't help you and they will call the store. Never again. They went out of business here for a reason. Not sure they were really ready to open again. read more

Sonic, at long last I found you! Darn your temptations. You aren't what I was expecting. Wow, so I actually found a Sonic! I had seen their commercials for YEARS, in MD, NYC and here but NEVER had seen an actually Sonic in real life. I never believed they actually existed until I went to Lancaster to the outlets. Their ads made my mouth water with the crazy combination drinks that no other places dreamed of doing. Oh man, I was so happy when I found it. My happiness died though. Died quick. Real quick. I convinced my wife we NEEDED to go there. I insisted and wouldn't take no for an answer. She relunctantly agreed. I immediately ordered the Lime slushie because that's the one thing I knew I wanted for years from their ads. We ended up getting a couple wraps and chicken sandwhich and fries. Paid at the terminal. Waited. Kept waiting. I kept thinking this food better be worth the YEARS wait plus this long wait. Finally the food came 25 minutes later. I wasn't that into the whole drive-in theme but whatever, I was all about the food. The wraps were bland and TINY. I could have ate 4 and still been hungry and I am a thin guy. The fries were soggy and just gross. I don't remember the chicken sandwhich which doesn't bode well. Now for the slushie. Eh. Half melted lime syrup with bits of crushed ice. I left thinking it would have been better off not finding Sonic in the end and kept my naitivity alive. read more

The serving size is very small for the price you pay. We thought they made a mistake and gave us the wrong size. We checked and they said that's how much should be in them. The Hot fudge sundae cup was only half full. We were disappointed and will not be wasting our money there again. read more

How can you NOT love Sonic?! Even more so after a long day shopping across the street!!! Pull into the drive in and park and order and WHAM with in minutes your food is at your car window with a smile and friendly service. Doesn't matter what you order its made to order and tastes great everytime. For me I like to wash it all down with a Cherry Chocolate Dr Pepper but others may want a Vanilla Peach Ice Tea or a Strawberry Limeade whatever you fancy is they have the flavors to make your combination dream come true!!! read more

I used to enjoy the food from Sonic, I thought it was a step up from other fast food, but the last 2-3 years it went way way downhill, every location, not just here. read more

There's only one Sonic where I come from (Long Island) and its a bit of a drive. So while enjoying a three day weekend in Lancaster and enjoying the wonderful food options it has to offer my arteries were in need of a greasy fix. Instead of eating in our car, we opted to order and eat at the outside tables in the front of the fast food chain. It was s beautiful day out and I don't like getting in my car the next day to find that lingering fast food smell. That was a decision I quickly came to regret. The place was swarming with bees. They had no problem inspecting your food if you let them. We had to switch tables it was so bad. Also, the garbage cans were overfilled. That probably didn't help with the bee problem. So far as the food goes, it was Sonic. If you don't know it by now something is wrong. :) I chowed down on a Number 1 and my wife had a pretzel dog with a cookie dough milkshake. Yum! read more

Tots were not hot. Foot long was way too cooked...almost crispy in the center. Sound system is very poor...person from inside sounds way too loud from the speaker. Passenger cannot see the menu from their side of the car. We won't be coming back! read more

Like others, I have never had the opportunity to experience a Sonic, so when we drove by it, we had to stop. In the end, it is a fast food place with the novelty of still being a drive-up car-hop type of place. The burgers are good - you can debate the qualities of them vs. MickeyD's or BK on your own. I'd put them above McDonald's, but below BK, except in size. But its not like they are In n' Out burgers or anything. Nice touch is the availability of tater tots instead of fries. Worth trying to say you've tried, but don't prepare to be blown away. read more

Oh me oh my Sonic! If you're choosing this over other fast food. You can't go wrong here. I'm glad they don't have any on York. I would be broke and fat. I love their food. I recommend the bacon cheese burger on the toaster bread with tater tots and a milk shake! For breakfast the burritos are a must have. They used to carry pancake on a stick that was an addiction, I guess it's a good thing for me they don't have it. read more

After hearing about it for years, I finally gave Sonic a try while visiting PA for the weekend. The whole drive-in "experince" was LAME and kind of annoying. After some confusion, we ordered our food (the person taking our order kept cutting us off and repeating back the wrong thing). The food came out very quickly- almost too fast. They got the condiments on my gf's burger completely wrong. The burgers were okay...but nothing to write home about. The tater tots were tasty, if not a bit salty. I guess the highlight was my gf's limeade. If we come again, it will be in the afternoon for their Happy Hour drink specials and no food. I know it's their gimmick, but Sonic may have received three stars from me if you could sit down and eat. (There were a few picnic tables but they were in use.) Not a big fan of eating in my car! read more

Never have an issue while purchasing food at this sonic location. Everything is always fresh and made to order. Shakes are made with real fruits. I usually tip the waitress/waiter delivering the food to the car. This location is clean and there are a few tables to eat at if you don't want to eat in your car, which is a plus. They never make any mistakes and they always bring out the food in a timely fashion. read more
