We are twice a week sonic customers. It is our fast food favorite. So we have seen some great places...and some less than stellar. We just moved to the area and this drive-In is one of the best. The servers are always polite with fantastic customer service. They get the orders right and they check on you while you are eating. Totally old school service skills. They even introduce themselves. The drinks come out clean and there isn't trash blowing around. Kudos to the staff and the management. You ROCK! read more

I have not been to a sonic in a long time and I've lived near this one for a while. Loved the place as a kid but this? Was meh at best. Way too expensive for the portions. Cashier looked at me like it was my fault the card reader wouldn't work. Fries were almost burnt. Burger was okay at best. Just not great. I miss the nostalgia I had as a kid of this place. read more

Employees are the best part of this location. The food has always been fast and exact to my order, the only dislike would be, the stalls in the playground area, they kept malfunctioning when I was trying to order, thankfully the staff was efficient and just came over to help. read more

Just left the ER and was craving sonic, pull into sonic and see they close in FIVE minutes. We order and she was so nice and kind taking our order. She came out and let us know they are making the chicken fresh so that's what the hold up was (they was closing soon so idc how long it took bc I hate being that person) she brings out food out and I apologize for being "those people" who pull in right before close. She was so nice and let me know it was no biggie that we came before close so she was gonna make sure to serve us. She was all smiles. The receipt said her name was Tyeacha. We was so greatful for her kindness tonight. Food was hot and fresh too. That lady who brought us our food had a manager tag. Just wanted to brag on her. read more

I went to this sonic today 8/2/24. and ordered the smash burger when I tell you it was hot, fresh and good, the cashier was nice and polite, I love how everything is clean, I will visit again don't get rid of the smash burgers that's one of the best burgers I tasted in North Carolina thank you read more

Why would I go to sonic to get a cheeseburger? They're trash. The whole reason I go is to this place is to get a milkshake. How tf is a sonic ice cream machine gonna be getting cleaned? Y'all only got one???! I literally just came here to get an ice cream and my high is ruined... read more

Sonic Drive-In - They don't even warn you - Fast Food Near Me - Spring Lake, North Carolina

Ordered in app, 3 slushies, ETA to deliver was 6 minutes later. After that time elapsed I pushed the button and asked for my order. They said it would be out shortly it has been over 21 minutes and still no slushies. If it was busy I would understand- but there's only about 6 stalls filled. They also shorted the slushies on the nerds which I paid for...took so long to get wasn't worth it to stay. read more

Maybe I lucked out but I ordered in the app. Got my food shortly after pulling in. The order was right and Gregory was awesome. He repeated my order, had me check it and it was super hot. It's fast food so if you're thinking you're getting a gourmet meal stopping at a sonic, you may need to rethink things read more

I would avoid this place at all costs. I went on 3/29/24 and got a milkshake well about 1/4 of the way through it wasted weird so I star mixing it up from the bottom and it taste like straight chemicals or bad cheesecake. I have no idea what it was but it disgusted me and my family and I will never return read more

Its place for a quick meal, car hops are friendly. Owner takes all employees tips and deducts it from their minimum wage pay check. So if you leave a tip you are basically tipping the owner. It's a fast food joint not a typical restaurant. Stop taking their tips. read more

WORST FOOD EVER!!! Bad hotdog-- cold with a hard bun Husband had to go back 3 times for a simple double cheeseburger to be served correctly... seriously guys?? Please get it together, this kind of service is inexcusable. And to add insult to injury I feel ill while writing this review in the parking lot... so there's the possibility of food poisoning as well. I am deeply disappointed. read more

Jessica, the "owner" was probably the most annoying person I've ever had to deal with. They got our order wrong and when we have the food back, they just never came back out with our corrected food. We waited 30 min and never got anything so we had to leave. I called to tell the manager the situation and she just got an attitude, proceeded to talk over me and interrupt me, as she used "training teenagers" as a reason for her poor management skills and lack responsibility. She said "come back later and I'll get you your food corrected" haha like that makes up for having to take 2 trips and deal with her incompetence. She gave no incentive to make it right and was the most annoying person to deal with. Would not recommend this place. Go somewhere else. Save your patience. read more

Came here to order two drinks and a small appetizer, waited 30+ minutes just for them to ask what we had which we had to wait even longer for it. Don't come here it's horrible read more

I have lived in spring lake for 5yrs never once out of those visits to sonic have ever been positive. Im the big dummy for going there hoping that they will get my order right, or not mischarge me or the machines will work correctly, or going to the drive thru without being rush off because the lines are backed up and finding out once I got home that once again I dont have all my food in the bag. I went there today and pulled up in the stall press the button the girl tells me to wait a minute but she still has her speaker on so I can hear her whole conversation it's loud. I begin to roll up my window and that's when she wants to acknowledge me and asked me what stall I'm in. Confused I asked if she was speaking to me like she had no class she confirmed that I was the person with the pink shirt park right in front of her. If you know where I'm parked at why are you asking me what stall I'm in? Then with zero customer service skills start arguing semantics with me about what I'm ordering. I will never in my whole life ever go back to the Sonic's it is literally right around the corner from my house. This sonic's is a sad pitful place save yourself the grief and disappointment never go there. read more

Terrible customer service, had to get my bank to refund my money because this Sonic charged me multiple times after telling me my cards "weren't going through" and I needed to pay cash. read more

The food tastes okay...however my biggest issue is the food has been close to cold every time I would go there when they give it to me.

I've been here a few times and was treated with either slow service, wrong items in my order, being overcharged for food, and most recently food poisoning. My husband and I both got the same exact order except he got a beef sandwich while I ordered a grilled chicken wrap. Not even two hrs later I was sicker than I've ever been in my entire life, throwing up and only now about 36 hrs later am I feeling better. We looked up the reviews on Google and this establishment has so many occurrences of cross contamination, food poisoning and overall subpar service. Do yourself a favor and look at the multiple reviews on this place before ordering!!! read more

great location, great food, but wrong orders. needs more trained crew...enuf said I will be back to try again and see what has improved. Don't get me wrong ... this Sonic Drive-In is great but needs just a little tweak... thats all. read more

This use to be the go to spot, now it's horrible service, they hire anyone, my husband watched a worker handle a customers food. The worker spit on the floor and wipe the exses saliva with their wrist and hand. read more

Absolutely garbage worst sonic I've ever been to. Waited over30 minutes for a corn dog and a slush before I told them just to keep it. They wouldn't t refund me either. If I could leave a negative 5 stars I would. I hope this place burns read more

Worst Sonic ever. Took me 22 mins to get my food at 10am with only three other customers here, terrible service!

This place didn't used to be this bad, at least 4 years ago I remember it being a decent place to order food, but it's not that way anymore. After ordering we received our food, it took a while but being that it was a Sunday afternoon that's not surprising or upsetting. As we drove up a bit I joked with my husband about how he should pull over because in the last three times we have come here since last year they always forget something. I looked in the bag and noticed that it had all the kids meals and I saw my tots and his fries so figured we were good and we continued. When we arrived home I started passing out the grub and noticed they didn't have either of our chili dogs. I suppose I should be happy the kids had their food at least. I ended up having to drive back and walk up to the door. They brought out our dogs and said sorry. (I'm usually fine with that but seriously if this happens every time you order there, maybe they just need better management) After arriving back home I noticed one of my kids who usually devours a grilled cheese in a millisecond had taken only one bite and left it. They hadn't cut it, which was odd, when I cut it the cheese was cold and I could see two slices. Almost like they toasted the bread and threw in cheese after the fact. It never even melted. Finally sat down to eat and our chili dogs were slightly under luke warm. These are the ones I'd just picked up. I get it's fast food and not fine dining, honestly leaving this huge of a review is slightly comical to me, but I really do think this place needs an overhaul. They are working hard in there you can see it, but they aren't getting anything done. Like hamsters in a wheel. This place needs better managers and some organization so that every action has a purpose. Sorry for the novel. Okay here's the summary, I do not recommend this sonic. AND check your order! read more

I stopped in one night with my daughter for a cookies and cream shake and a sonic burger. All was well until we got to the drive up window. The young lady at the window called back my order with a cookie dough shake and sonic burger. I told the lady it was a cookies and cream shake. She says oh yeah this is a cookies and cream shake. I pay for the food and check the shake to see if it's right. Well, it had no traces of chocolate cookies. I asked the attendant was she sure it was a cookie and cream shake and she says yes. I explained to her, the shake looked tan like caramel. Finally she asks the lady who made the shake, and she tells her it is chocolate chip cookie dough. I attempt to hand her the incorrect shake and she says rudely "tell her to keep it" . I was stunned. What if I don't want too? I just really wanted the correct shake. Although they corrected the order, at first they were a bit rude about it. I still handled it with a smile and the attendant finally came around. My gripe is what if I had drove off without taking the time to unwrap my straw and dig into the mountain of whipped cream to test this shake. In short, the attendant was not sure if the order was correct and instead of checking, gave me an incorrect order and almost convinced me to believe her. Then I was talked to rudely for following up on it. Docking a star for: Rude service. please check your food before you drive off. Mistakes happen, but attendants need to fix it , double check if need be. They shouldn't make the customer feel like they belong in the time out chair either. By the way, this is the second time we have gotten incorrect food at this location. read more

Great place, my kids love playing here the food was right on point. The order was correct and got to us super quickly. Even my kids enjoyed the food which they dont usually enjoy anywhere else but a few other places. Great place. Able seating outside. read more

Close to Ft. Bragg, for those days when you really need something to eat, or something cold to drink (Watermelon Cream Slush). It's convenient. The food is better than McDonalds, so I guess that's a plus! read more

I stopped in to grab some food for a late night craving. I placed my order and within a few minutes the young lady, Jada came out with a smile on her face. She was bubbly and pleasant. She handed me all of my order and I asked her for the credit card slip to leave her a tip. She informed me that they do not accept credit card tips only cash. I felt horrible that I had no cash on me to leave her a tip. Jada was amazing and I apologize I could not leave you a much deserved tip. read more

My kids love this place. The outdoor play area is fabulous. Ample seating outside. easy to order. Lots of parking. The kids also love the food. It is quick and affordable. read more

Sonic is the worst. Went here with my wife and NOTHING about my order was good or right. Ordered medium cookie dough master blast with extra cookie dough. Got charged twice for the topping AND THERE WAS NO FRIGGIN COOKIE DOUGH IN IT. plus I ordered no whipped cream and they put it on there. Wifes ice cream was terrible and my sweet tea was water. Will.neber give this establishment my money again. read more

They gave me moldy bread with my chili cheese dog. Will never be going to this sonic ever again.

Usually I have no problems with Sonics I love taking my family there for after school snacks but today I was less than pleased. The service was slow and I found a bug in my drink. That's just nasty! read more

Really good and awesome service. I go here almost every week with my friend and his sister and whenever we go we get such good service. Their slushees or delicious and so is their milkshakes. They also bring us our food in a really amount of time. read more

The prices have skyrocketed tremendously! Now they don't offer military discount on combos. It used to be my go-to drive through but now I guess I'll have to find one that has really good tater tots. Sonics made a grave error in jacking the prices up plus you don't get what you pay for. They've lost me as a customer. read more

I love sonic, but I hate going to this location. Staff is very rude. I would rather drive the distance to go to a different sonic.

If you are looking for a great meal during your busy week this is where you should stop. The evening manger Anthony Mitchell makes sure every order is correct and if it is not he takes care of your right then right there. This has been a nice welcome since moving to a new area and by a new mom of twins. I really appreciate fast food made with love. read more

Ordered two foot long hot dogs to eat there. When she read my order back she left off the onions. I reminded her. Ket mus. Onions and slaw. When they came out. No onions. Ever have something that just didn't quite taste right? That was these hot dogs. Now my stomach is upset and I wish I'd made something at the house. They have great shakes though. People were friendly just off today. read more

I give this place three stars only because the food is really great and they offer a military discount. The customer service though, not great at all! I don't like dealing with the people taking the orders at the drive through. They're always rude and short with us. Never fails, every time! read more

My boyfriend was dissatisfied. Ordered a medium , got a small . very little topping for 6$

Located in Spring Lake, this Sonic gets an extra star for the fact it has a huge playground. We ordered our food and ate outside, multiple car hops stopped by to ask us if we needed anything. When we finished we walked across the parking lot to the HUGE playground. It's fenced in, and once over there we realized we could have ordered from the playground. Wow! read more

Horrible horrible service. I came here a few months ago and it was bad but I wanted to give them a chance to be better. That didn't happen. There were four employees just sitting outside joking around. The lady on the speaker had no idea how to listen and take an order. God help them if the food sick this time. read more

Visited this location twice. Every employee I ran into were super nice and spoke kindly. They moved quickly even got orders out to the cars behind me which made the line move faster. Very accommodating service. Reminded me of Chick-fil-A! read more
