The time it takes at this fast food joint, especially when ordered ahead is ridiculous. Fifteen minutes for which I saw my order attempting to be delivered to the wrong stall I call out the window to which I receive no reply and then watch it return to the kitchen to sit while 5 other order are delivered. I was able to flag down the carhop to which I was told my food wasn't ready yet. I ordered tots. TOTS! Ehich 3 more orders were delivered and then my order. Which was at that point cold. And the slush was a third the way melted ... So. Struggle bus a bit here... The lot was clean and car stalls were cleared. The pickle slush was interesting. Kinda refreshing but salty and a bit sweet. I didn't love it. I didn't hate it. May try it again with someone adventurous. But I was NOT expecting that pickle to have such a kick of spice! The tits were scattered with a sprinkle of dill. Not worth the extra money, the wait or the cold factor.

I hate to give any food establishment a 1 or 2 in these times. I was nostalgic for the Sonics from my former state, and decided to swing in for a burger. Years ago, my fave thing about Sonic was that I didn't ever have to say "no this, no that, or add mustard." I could order by number and get exactly what I wanted. That feature is long gone. The order took quite awhile, but many places are short staffed--I don't take away stars for that. The gentleman who took the order was friendly and when delivering to the car he apologized for the wait. The unsweetened iced tea was fine. The fries were mostly cold (I tossed these). The burger was less than "nothing special." The bun wasn't fresh and the lettuce and tomato even less so. As a positive mention, the bacon was crispy. However, there was very little. As you can see from the pic, I wasn't certain they actually added cheese. They did, but it was all on half the burger. All in all a disappointment.

I asked for Sonics special sauce.  He said, "apparently we don't have that anymore" I just got some yesterday at the Summerville

I e been coming here for years. It's had its ups and downs. Today was a quick trip Ordered a milkshake for my daughter who had oral surgery today and a Chicken Slinger for me with extra pickles and Sonic Special Sauce. It came with 2 pickles and 2 tiny dabs of mayo. I just tapped the order button and asked for special, I didn't complain because I know they're short staffed. He said, and I quote, "apparently we don't have that anymore" I just got some yesterday at the Summerville Sonic. $2.79 for this? Oh well I tried to give this location another chance !

Do not come here if you're in a hurry. There isn't anything fast about it. 20 minutes for 1 sandwich, 1 order of tots and 1 drink.

We chose Coleman Public House based on their outstanding Yelp reviews, and they absolutely lived up…read moreto the hype! One thing that immediately stood out was that they were open late on a Sunday. We arrived around 8 PM, which was incredibly convenient, and since the restaurant wasn't crowded, we were seated right away. Our server (I unfortunately don't remember her name, she was blonde and incredibly friendly) provided what was probably the best service we experienced during our entire trip. She was attentive, welcoming, and made excellent recommendations. We ordered the 2x California Burger, chicken sandwich, a gyro, side salads (they put the dressing on the salads, it was actually the perfect amount for me, but just be warned, ask for it on the side if you want to add it yourself), and a cheesesteak. The gyro (I got lamb) was recommended by our server, and it did not disappoint! Everything was fantastic, but the burgers deserve special recognition. Whoever was working the grill that night deserves a raise. Hands down, the best burger we had on our entire trip. The seasoning was perfect, the patties were thick and juicy, and they had an amazing char that took them to the next level. We also upgraded to the Aloha Fries, which were a great addition and definitely worth trying. From the outstanding food to the exceptional service, Coleman Public House exceeded our expectations in every way. We'll definitely be back because there are still so many items on the menu we want to try. The place was clean, could use a little update/refresh with paint and small things...but I come for the food first and foremost. Seriously, give this place a shot, you won't regret it. Yum!

this is a good pub. friendly bar with an above average rotation of draft beers. beer prices vary…read moreslightly and are shown on the calk board ( a nice customer-friendly feature). A good menu. ordered the calamari that came with fried hallipinos peppers . wake you up? had the fish and chip as entre. the flounder fillet was very generous. certainly a better serving than I have had at most places. Coleman is a touch more expensive than comparable places but of very good quality. No complaints In that regard.

First time here, and sat at one of the long (picnic style) wood tables on what they call is a patio…read morebut is much more like a wood deck. They have an inside bar with lots of activity and TVs. Inside the men's bathroom had two urinals and two basins. Also there is an outside bar with three TVs, one behind the bar and two in the covered entertainer's area. We sat outside so we walked to that outside bar with the friendly, efficient, effective server. We also ordered food, the Butcher's Burger and a set of single ribs with your choice of sauces. Unfortunately the ribs were overcooked and thus tough to bite off and then bit chewy. The burger was quite good, with cheese and sliced pork belly to upgrade any usual burger, but this meat was thick and also had slight bit of tomato jam. Other than the underwhelming, overdone preparation of the ribs, it was a good time for all as people came and went. IMPORTANTLY, on this date, they were selling cooked oysters in small groups ALL YOU CAN EAT (when's the last time you heard that?) for $30. The profit on the oysters is going to a Down's Syndrome support group. Excellent!

Huge outdoor space, amazing food, and so many great brews on tap. They have happy hour from 4-7 on the weekdays and weekly events and specials almost every night including trivia and live music. The staff was so welcoming and I might dream about the giant pretzel for the rest of forever (but definitely about the cheese). You can also buy any of their sausages to go and cook them at home. I feel like this is going to be an NFL Sunday hangout.

I had visitors this pub years ago but since then it has been renovated. It gives off an old English vibe inside despite being an Irish pub. It's decorated beautifully and it is super busy. I have to say it's one of the best places I've been to recently for excellent service vibes. The staff are attentive & efficient. They just put out a new food menu and I have to say it's varied & great... The cheesesteak... oh my... the mashed potatoes... oh my... the big plate of shareable nachos. It's all great. Team trivia here is fun, The only negative thing is that it's loud inside. Lots of people. A lot of shaded areas to sit outside also. Put this spot on your list for a casual spot to catch up with friends & have great pub food.
