Always missing half of your order/ never gives sauces you PAID ugh read more

Sonic Drive-In - Fast Food Near Me - Pelham, Alabama

Aight so I made a mobile order and I pulled up like 15 minutes later... I went inside to pick it up and I was missing like half of my drinks plus there was this weird water in a cup with whipped cream on top??? so I went back inside and when I told them I also ordered a cheesecake shake with oreos in it they gave me just a cheesecake shake on top of that there was like chocolate sauce all over the stuff we had our food and drinks in even though nothing we had would have needed chocolate sauce at all... anyway will NOT be ordering from this location again because getting my order wrong twice in a row is crazy work read more

could not use coupon on the app, buy 1 get one. paid full price for 2 hamburgers. hamburgers not fixed per our order, globs of mayonnaise and inions and nothing else. this was at the Soni c at 2226 Pelham Parkway. I have lived here 34 years and have eaten at Sonic quite a bit, but no more. The management has changed obviously. Just paid $15 for slop. CH K 143 read more

Courtney did a great job at the window! The cheeseburger was outstanding! You need to make the route 44 larger.

So it has been along time since I have been to a sonic. Not because I am a food snob but because I am never near one. This past Saturday my daughter had a friend over and they were craving sonic. We went and I was confused but in a good way- when did sonic get an inside cool sit down area and patio? Comfy chairs and tvs? Where has this sonic been all my life? I had a grilled chicken sandwich and some crispy onion rings. The kids had popcorn chicken and a coney dog. Still fast food but better than average and I didn't have to eat in my car! The blasts were a little iffy. All the add ins like cookie dough were on top and not mixed in and the the cups were not full but- hey - they still tasted good. read more

Stopped by for lunch the other day. Went through the drive through. Service was quick and prompt. I ordered the new Big Dill burger. Burger was hot, made to order. Bun was fresh and toasted. The Big Dill has cheese, fried pickles and a tangy dill sauce. The combination is short of AMAZING! Fried pickles were crisp and hot, juicy on the inside. Dill sauce was not overpowering but noticed. All in all great burger and quick service! read more

I am truly blessed to live near this Sonic!! With 1/2 price drinks all day everyday on the app you cannot beat it!! The Coke Zero cherry vanilla route 44 calls my name quite often and these people deliver. The service and consistency are what keep me coming back!! I was super impressed when they renovated with an inside. It's the nicest Sonic I've ever been to. Due to staffing struggles they have had to close the drive-in spots several times I've ordered in the app and they make it easy to get through the line quickly and with order accuracy. Easily the best Sonic I've been to in The South! Download the sonic app and head there for some cheese sticks and their boneless wings. You won't regret it!! read more

Made a mobile order to pick up some lunch before going shopping. Arrived at 10:30 am and the parking lot was empty as was the store. Figured I was at the wrong location and this one was closed for remodeling due to the condition of the store. I was wrong. After waiting at the drive-through window for 10 minutes and other customers coming and going without ordering. A lady came out and informed me that no one had shown up for their shift and she was the only one there. Before I could ask anything she went back inside. I hope I can refund my order on the app later on. I've ordered from here before and I cannot say I'm surprised by this most recent trip considering the ones in the past. Sonic in general has gone down hill in the last couple of years. read more

Drove out to this location because we wanted to celebrate our kiddo's first day of school. We were met at the door of the indoor dining area by someone telling us that they were closing the inside and all of the parking bays, and that the only thing they were going to keep open was the drive thru. I kindly told the lady that we were going to find somewhere else to eat, to which she offered the chance to go through the drive-thru and then park the car to come eat on the patio. Still slightly perturbed, I told her how this doesn't make sense and was not the dining experience we were looking for. So for your sake, all of the car bays and indoor dining closes at 7:00pm. Our kiddo had specifically requested Sonic on this day and was crushed as we headed back to the car. So besides my better judgement I did end up in the drive thru. I actually placed a mobile order and still had our order arrive to the vehicle incorrect. Look, I totally understand that they are understaffed. But none of these changes were ever published online or on the door. Half of the car bays have a chain pulled across them or have an "out of order" sign plastered on the screen. It just was a miserable experience. It was clear that the team running the place was not going out of their way to make it any easier to enjoy the restaurant. As we sat in another parking lot watching car after car pull into bays and be turned away, as well as go up to the door only to be waved off by staff inside, I felt like I needed to pass on this review. The management made no attempt to communicate or accommodate. I'll be encouraging our kiddo to eat else-where in the future. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Drive thru only after 7:00pm - Fast Food Near Me - Pelham, Alabama

We came to Sonic for a quick in-car late lunch before bowling and sat at the drive-up station for 30 minutes (the red button was pressed) and everyone's order was being taken, even the people that drove up after us. Very disappointed. read more

Sooooo Kese was dying for slush and we noticed the 1/2 off all day when you order off the app sticker while trying to decide what size she wanted. Omg. She was like a kid in a candy store. She already had the app downloaded and wahlah she sat and ordered the slushes. 2 Medium Blue Raspberry Lemonade Slush. For $2+. Can't beat a deal like that. Yall have created a monster now. She'll be here everyday. Smh. Wait until the kids find out. My first time trying her flavor. My usual is Raspberry Lemonade. read more

On apple maps it says they are open until 9pm. I pulled up at 8:35pm and I was told they were closed. I informed them what their hours were online and he hesitated before answering, "We closed at 8." My friend and I went there earlier in the week and were served after 8. You shouldn't work a job if you don't like the hours. ‍ read more

This location is newly rebuilt. Waited a little long for just two chili cheese dogs... but they were were $1 each so can't really complain there. The dogs were good and the waitress was nice. read more

I ordered a hot dog - the bun was so stale I couldn't even bite it- I decided to eat the dog without the bun. When I took the dog off of the bun there was a hair. In addition- The drive up waitress openly admitted she had no clue how to give change - I told her the change was 10 cents. She gave me a nickel and asked if that was 10 cents. So sad that she didn't know the value of a nickel or dime or how to give change. read more

Went to drive up places to eat in our car as usual at the store down the road. The menu boxes were toooo close to the wall so I was not able to even hit the button without backing up my car to open the door...I drive a Subaru Outback. Other people were moving around to try to get up to a menu. So, I backed up, reached over my door to lunch the button..music was LOUD! Person responding couldn't hear me well AND SHE SPOKE SOFASTICOULDNOTUNDERSTANDHER (she spoke so fast I could not under her), verrry irritating. After 4 times trying to give my order, stretched over my door. I just left. MANY MANY OTHER GOOD PLACES TO EAT NEARBY!!! read more

Absolutely the slowest "fast food" restaurant I've ever been to. It was great until they remodeled it and hired new staff. Currently sitting in a carhop spot for 23 mins waiting on my ONE SLUSHY! read more

Went through the drive thru on the way to work to pick up a couple of slushes. Waited 20 minutes and I was the second car in line. I asked to speak to a manager. He came to the window- I expected him to be professional... was I wrong. When I asked why it took so long to get a couple slush, he replied- "if I don't like the wait, don't come the eff back" and slammed the window. read more

I stopped by just to get a quick snack. When I pulled In they were not crowded at all. I placed my order and it was out within 5 minutes and the order was correct. I ordered chilli cheese tots and a strawberry sprite. Usually when I go to the location in homewood my order is always wrong but never at this location. The girl who brought my food out was so nice. I will definitely frequent here more often. read more

It's Sonic so I'm not going to go into any great lengths about the food - it's quick, it's car-hop-based, and it's good for those not paranoid about cholesterol, salt intake, or any of the other health concerns plaguing the country at the moment. I will comment on this particular location, however, in terms of its service. This is one of my favorite Sonic locations to visit in the city, partly because it's close to home, but also b/c the customer service is typically top-notch (for a fast-food restaurant) and the car-hops are pretty friendly and never seem to have a bad day (or at least they spare the customer from attitudes regarding such). Service is quick and with a smile, as one would hope from every restaurant; and it shows b/c the place stays busy, even when the temperatures get high and low. And It's never borderline sketchy (I'm lookin' at you, Greensprings Hwy Sonic), and always seems like a good family-friendly place to be if you're looking for a refreshing drink or an easy bite. In a nutshell, that's it - it's a clean, friendly Sonic, prepped for its customers to come, get their fill and chill, and then head to their next destination. If you're in the area, it's a great stop. read more

Sonic Drive-In - The Menu of Menus - Sonic Drive-In - Pelham, AL - Fast Food Near Me - Pelham, Alabama

Went to this Sonic Drive-in location on Friday (2/12/21) and ordered a Chili Cheese Coney. This is definitely one of the better Sonic Drive-ins. You can tell it is really well managed compared to a lot of the others, which is why I didn't mind driving a few minutes extra to go here. Haven't had Sonic in a while but it still was just as I remembered. The hotdog was still as good as I remembered. All of the employees really seemed to be following Covid guidelines and every one was super nice. It's definitely worth driving a little extra to go to this location. read more

Great customer service. The place is brand new remodeled and you can actually sit inside. I had tots and a shake. I eat halal so I wish they had a fish sandwich! Other than that great place! read more

It is so sloooowww and service is so bad. First time, no one in the dining area and touch screen wasn't working. Knocked on the window after a few minutes, ordered then it took literally 25-30 minutes and they were not that busy at all. I could have gotten ChickFilA starting 9 cars deep, pulled around, got back and line and got my food a second time. Then I could have done it a 3rd time before I got my Sonic that night. When it came out my kids orders had a chili dog and onion rings. Interesting... the girl dropped us straws that were literally soggy wet and just walked off haha. We were laughing the whole experience was so ridiculous 2nd visit was last night, used the classic carhop order style for Sonic to get two sonic blasts. It took 14 minutes. For two blasts. Blasts are good though, great job with that Sonic! read more

I have been to this location a couple times. Very convenient spot off of Highway 31 in Pelham. Easy to get in and out. Plenty of parking around the building and about a half dozen tables if you want to sit outside. Burgers, chicken, hot dogs and a variety of sides, fries, jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, tator tots, etc. Food is typically ok. Nothing special that makes you crave going to sonic. Pricing is pretty reasonable. Purpose for the trip today was it happened to be after 8:00 and they are running the deal on shakes (half price after 8:00). Went ahead and ordered a large. To be clear you could share this with a small army. 32 oz shake for $2.50. Hard to beat that price and taste was pretty good! They also have a huge selection of other specialty drinks and they run specials on these from time to time as well. Nothing I crave or go out of my way for, but if I'm in the area I may grab a drink. read more

Always have a good meal when in the mood for simple honest fast food, served quickly, fresh and hot. Love the frozen lemonade or limeade

Did not follow CoVid protocol. Gave my dog covid and she died. That's all I've got to say about that really I promise.

they suck and all the mangers the food is crap the inside is dirty throwing food and ice around, playing around in the job as well and the top people do not say anything about it . read more

This is the absolute SLOWEST "fast food" place! Be prepared to wait at least 20 minutes to get your food. What's worse is that there are always 10 or more employees just standing around in no hurry at all. Won't be back. read more

Everything a sonic supposed to be and more, never keep you waiting too long, even when it's crowded and the shakes are always the perfect end to long Alabama nights read more

Simply Trash. Non edible garbage. Service is awful too. The burgers taste like they have been sitting in the sun for days. The milkshakes taste artificial. I don't know what else I can say. Even Burger King or Wendys is a step above this establishment. read more

I came to get food for a picnic with my friends and they never gave me my food and argued that the order never came through the app even though I told her they took the money from my account even though someone brought out the wrong food and gave me a receipt read more

I have been to this location on two occasions and the drinks were horrible. I asked for a HiC fruit punch and they gave me a cup of syrup from the slushies with a little bit of water. Sent it back and they gave me red water. They told me that their machine was not working and they had to hand mix their juice (POWERade was out too). They could only do the drinks or lemonade (why didn't they just tell me that they were out of HiC and POWERade). So i got a sprite. And even the sprite was just carbonated water. Not only was my drinks messed up, but i ordered the chicken strip meal and they gave me chicken strips the size of my pinky and was slightly over cooked. I will not be coming back to this location. The carhop was super nice and helpful with trying to get my drink right read more

This is probably the best Sonic in town! Being from Oklahoma City, where headquarters are at, the customer service and the food is just like being home. I have visited several other Sonics in the Birmingham area, and to get the quality of food and the great customer service, this is top notch! Definitely worth driving to Pelham for a great Sonic experience! read more

good food but terrible service. If you eat here, you will be waiting to get your food for a considerably long amount of time.

Sonic rarely disappoints as it is a chain fast food place. This location was cool without a drive through at all. Service was fast and the people were very friendly. No complaints here! read more

Sonic is Sonic. A car hop drive up. Well better than average fast food. Fairly diverse menu that includes a limited but good breakfast. And there are the drinks (cherry limeade is my usual) and expanded, for fast food, dessert choices. It's not perfect and your mileage will vary from location to location but the Pelham Sonic is consistently good, clean and has food service. Quick and polite. Very good choice for affordable burger joint type food fare. read more

We told them twice that we had a coupon but still tried to charge us full price. Not impressed. Listening FTW.

Sucks! I asked for fries with no salt - OK - I got them. Hurray! I asked for a burger, well done with lettuce, tomato and mayo. I received a cold (previously cooked) burger with a pink center and two yellowish green house tomatoes with white centers - yuck. After I got home, I called Hunter, the "manager'" about the burger and his response was (Uh . . . ) "I'm sorry?" Clearly a high school kid with no management experience. Now I understand why the Drive-In was empty at 5:30 PM. Spend your $6.00 somewhere else. read more
