Sonic isn't really on my radar, but my husband loves it. I had no idea this place was here but we stopped in so he could get a burger bc he never eats breakfast and is always starving when we go out to run errands. They have a new smash burger on their menu and he got that with fries and I have to admit, the burger was pretty good when he offered a bite. Sonic isn't my top choice, but it's not bad if you have a hankering for a burger. read more

this place is terrible you'll be waiting 20+ minutes for an order with 1 item on it, don't come here go to the one on red mill instead. both locations are terrible but the red mill one is significantly faster than whatever they have going on at this location. the workers are kind but the people in management are lazy and extremely rude. read more

Been waiting for like 30+ min, need more workers!! gave us free food like buddy where is my actual food at needs to close asap

After a 13 hour day I was so hungry I decided to go to Sonic (off Laskin) around 9pm. The cost was $12 and my burger was absolutely disgusting. I got home and the bottom bun was completely soaked in grease. I am guessing they never clean the grill bc the bun was black and the foil that covered my burger was black and greasy along with cold stale fries. Why doesn't any care anymore? Needless to say I learned my lesson read more

Most pathetic and rude people I have ever dealt with. Disgusting and poor service. Got yelled at by the lady on the speaker

It was close to my house & my sister warned me. If I could give no stars I would. Worst experience ever. Waited forever for one hot dog not to mention a worker there named Jeremy was sarcastic to me n laughed about it! I will never go back again read more

Easy to order in app. Got the 44oz for the first time. Also a free soda from a promotion. More ocean water in my cup than the ocean itself! Chili cheese coney with onions. Couldn't get chili tots as a side but got them a la carte. Took a bit longer than I thought to get food but a novelty worth coming to once a year. read more

Megan is rude asl. I had a mobile order and I said my name, she asked me what that meant? i said that's what the APP told me to do. She said I wasn't in the right place and the whole time her fat tail had an attitude. How am I supposed to know if that's what the app told me to do? Bad customer service, rude employee (Megan), and took forever. she's lucky I'm the type of person I am because I guarantee if she had the right person, things would've been different. read more

Created a yelp account just to leave a review for this place. It is comically slow and you can guarantee your order won't be right. Was the only car in line and I waited 25 mins for two Oreo blasts while the 5 high-school aged employees were laughing it up playing around in the kitchen. This place could not get any worse. There is no management apparently. read more

This is the WORST. Sonic ever. We have gotten food from here lots. We have posted complaints to them on instagram and Twitter in the great hope that they would improve. I don't think they care . For about a year we have tried to give constructive criticism. So I have decided to post my yelp review. I hate writing bad reviews but this place is terrible. And this is why. The food is good MOST of the time. That is why they are even getting a star. They never get an order right!! I always ask for tater tots. They give crappy fries. And they are half cold and limp fries. They are at hilltop and the chick-fil-a is 10 times busy and they seem to manage amazingly well. At lunch you wait to place your order then you wait another 20 minutes to get your order and this is the drive through . If you are on your 30 minute lunch break DONT GO TO THIS SONIC!!! When they come out to FINALLY give you your food. They toss it and run. You are left trying to make sure you got everything. THEY JUST DONT CARE!! We order a lot of kids meals. Supposed to get a toy of some kind. There has been 4 different times they just did not put them in there. It seems like THEY JUST DONT CARE. We have tried calling their corporate office one day while the craziness of sonic was so horrendous and obviously nothing has changed. There is a theme at this Sonic at Hilltop THEY JUST DONT CARE!!!! They need to fire everyone and hire people who care read more

Went through the drive thru around 7:56pm and the carhop Ahriona was rude from start to finish. She rushed our order and I still said "thank you", when I got to the window and she told me our total, as I was taking my card out to pay, she closed the window in my face and walked away. When she came back I gave her my card to pay and when she returned it, again I said "thank you and she said nothing. I asked her if her name would be on the receipt and she said yes and never handed me the receipt, instead she went to speak to the other young manager on duty and began to belittle me. (yes, I heard everything through the window. The manager came to the window, and I told her that Ahriona was very unprofessional and I will be addressing with the Manager. Then Manager on duty went back to Ahriona and that is when I heard Ahriona call me a "B**tch" amongst other things. I would like to note that my 13-year-old son was in the car and he was astounded by the way Ahriona was acting. He said she is tired or something because we didn't do anything and she is just being rude. I will never in my life go to this Sonic again and will be addressing with the Franchise owner. Ahriona is in the wrong field or needs to work another schedule where she doesn't treat people like this. read more

Walked up to the speaker as we were eating on the patio with our pets. Person on the speaker had difficulty putting our order in correctly on the screen (perhaps she was new). I had to repeat myself several times for each item that we ordered. Prices are high for the amount of food that you get. Food looked like it was put together in a hurry. This is not a great Sonic location. read more

They forgot to put cheese on all three of our "cheeseburgers" and along with that forgot bacon on the Bacon Cheeseburger. Along with that they are so slow and the app never works. read more

Ordered online and as soon as I pulled up and put the car in park, the food was at my window! Amazing service and such a turn around compared to my last visit months ago! Food was hot and tasted freshly cooked! Shout out to Taylor for being ON TOP OF IT! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Soft pretzels, M&M SONIC Blast- made with M&M-S- Minis Chocolate Candies and Hot Fudge Sundae - Burgers Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

My wife and I went through the drive thru and ordered a popcorn chicken combo with bbq sauce and a bacon cheese burger with no tomato. The order somehow came to 27.00 at the window. After it was corrected it was still 20.00 which is mind boggling to me for fast food. We were asked to pull up and wait and even with it being a drive thru we waited for about 5 min. They brought our food out to us but forgot the drink. After pulling away my wife began to eat and noticed there was no sauce for her chicken. After getting home I opened my burger to find the tomato's that I requested to not be on my burger. Overall it was an overpriced, time consuming, incorrect order of an experience and causes us pause to give any sonic a visit in the future. read more

Slow. Slow. Slow. Save yourself a 30 minute wait. Not even during peak meal time. After 8pm. We waited at least 30 minutes. Everyone in line was irate. Our order was incorrect. Food was decent but I will never wait 30 long minutes for fast food. Do not Do it. Drive away. read more

Gave order to someone through the speaker. Watched the staff circulate with multiple orders, unsure of which car had ordered what. After 20+ minutes, pressed the order button again to check on our food, and there was no record of our order. Finally drove off in frustration. The staff were friendly, but the operations were totally disorganized. read more

Wow. Chocolate chunk brownie sonic blast? Actually just vanilla icecream with a few chocolate shavings on top. Not sure if that's truly what it is or just what this location gave us. So disappointed read more

The service at midnight was quite timely and the food came out quick and hot. Boy was it delicious especially with the beautiful lights and music of sonic!! Shoutout Taylor P for providing great service P.S. I would show a pic of my food, but it's gone read more

If your looking for something fast this is not the place. Why I keep coming here I don't know, it's not that great of food anyways. The service it's self is ok employee wise never had a issue , but they need to work on time management. Waiting 20 plus minutes for a plain chicken sandwich is not considered in the category of fast food! Don't you dare ask for something extra or you will be waiting hella long . No matter the time of day you better know your gonna be waiting for longer than intended fast food wait should be. read more

Not the best of sonic drive-ins. I love their menu and the options but it took 45 mins for one hot dog order when I was parked and ordered. It was upsetting read more

I'm pretty sure a Crispy Chicken Sandwich is not suppose to be two small chicken tenders on a bun? It would have been much nicer to tell me you were out of Chicken Sandwiches instead of going ahead and replacing them with two small tenders on your own. If I wanted Chicken Tenders I would have ordered them. This might not seem like a big deal to you but, to me, you robbed me. I paid for one thing and you gave me something else and passed it off as what I wanted. So you lied and stole from me. If I was to steal from you I would go to jail but, you can steal from me and nothing happens? read more

Sonic Drive-In - A fake Crispy Chicken Sandwich. They used two Tenders instead. - Burgers Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

The employees are going to put the owner out of business. Tried this place twice in the last couple weeks and they didn't help us. Pulled away and went elsewhere. From the looks of it, the workers have been dragging this place down for a while. read more

Almost didn't come cause of all the bad reviews but I Just came at 9:30, staff was extremely kind and helpful, like all of em not just one, I'm in and out of the drive they with an accurate order in less than a couple mins. Idk what was going on here but before but seems like that problems been fixed. read more

Being asked to pull forward and then having to wait for two singular items and two drinks is absolutely ridiculous. Avoid this place at all costs. There are never any apologies just employees with no hustle lazily walking out to hand you your food after an absurd wait. read more

Due to the repairs on I-264 at night, I chose to avoid the highway (better on the car anyways since the highway quality is poor), and almost as if there was a toll bridge - we had to stop at Sonic! As a result we hit this place many times during our two week stay in the Chesapeake VA/Virginia Beach area. Thankfully they had 1/2 price shakes from 8pm so my kids got those many times. * Lunch Family picked up 2 American dogs with extra ketchup and one had the new pretzel cheese and bacon (good tasting bun) and a Chicago dog. All tasted great. You ask for extra ketchup and the like but somehow it never makes it to the waiting staff.. (all are like this we find). Here at least, the guy came with our food and returned with the extras we needed. No complaints. * Shakes / Desserts On each visit the kids got shakes -- when they got home one of them didn't finish all of it - and I tasted the peanut butter - REAL! I half expected some flavoring. Not here. We had a really nice banana split and my wife LOVED their sundaes. I tried the hot fudge cake with ice cream - cake was fine but it definitely could have used more ice cream. (cake sucks up the ice cream .. so you need more ice cream). Other than that, a pretty consistent location. There was a girl - I wanted to make note of her name better - it was close to Tequila but more like Taquita. She was nice and on two different nights when she brought us our shakes - she also gave us mints - sometimes they do that but not always - but that was her thing. Very friendly. This location is also rather large - with at least one more row for cars than most. At a location close to the hotel (http://www.yelp.com/biz/sonic-drive-in-chesapeake-3#hrid:HYIzDk7s1LAgqx9d4KGIQQ) it was a disappointment. Visited July 16/2013 with many others after. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Summer of shakes! - Burgers Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

There's a star there because there is no option on Yelp to be completely negative. This Sonic has absolutely poor management! The service is slow, rude, and always a hit or miss on their accuracy towards an order. Don't bother wasting your time at this location read more

They have completely gone down hill this summer. Wait times of 25 plus minutes for past 2 visits! Unacceptable and ridiculous. No we are sorry. No freebies or discounts. Bye sonic. Hello DQ! read more

I love Sonic! Seriously. I'd choose it over anything else... maybe even air. I usually get the chili cheese dog, so that was a given. It did take like 15+ minutes for our order of banana milk shake, chili cheese dog, two corn dogs and fries. read more

I placed a mobile order and paid through the app at 6:47pm, I was already there in the stall so I chose ASAP as the time for the order to be ready. I'm not lying when i say i was there for 27 minutes. I then started to question if the order wasn't placed, I called, no one answered, then I went through the drive through to ask. I asked if it was placed and the woman said yes and to pull forward. I wonder how long I would have continued to wait had I not done it myself. There was no offer/ apology/ order comp. Very disappointed. read more

Place was beyond overwhelmed tonight. 45mins for a simple online order. One girl, Livia (?) was basically running all the food out and dealing with angry customers. Hats off to her but the business was severely short staffed and at a point, needed to stop taking orders to get caught up. Which they never did. Our food order did come out correct and was delicious, possibly due in part to the wait. read more

Been to this location twice- both times waiting forty minutes to receive food. The first time this occurred, sizes were wrong (given small when paid for large) and ingredients asked to be taken off such as onions on a hot dog were left on. Terrible customer service. If you mention you have been waiting they will say they are working on it and you will wait another twenty minutes. When receiving my food there was no apology or anything just silently shoving food into my hands. Ive worked in the food industry for four years, including two in fast food and this is disgusting behavior. Go to a different location, this one is a black sheep in every way. read more

I am rethinking what I would consider comfort food. I was a little hungry tonight but not very since I picked up a hotdog from Sonic on Laskin and I ask you this. How hard is it to screw up a hotdog? This Sonic wins the award and this place posted some good commercials on this and other foods so I decided to try it. I'm certain I'll never order this one again but maybe it's not the restaurants problem but the employees who seem reluctant to go the extra mile. First off, the Chili should only be left in warmer for probably no more than a couple hours before it burns and should be tossed out. There are probably others but this seemed very relevant. Maybe this Franchisee should look at there operational structure before they are the next Covid-19 related closure. This is a problem that could be resolved quickly if all Sonic employees (Franchisor and franchisee) were required to order there food anonymously from random locations always ordering different foods and then enter your results (place menu improvements and changes to things that the customer enjoys on a convenient location like an app.). Is it still comfort food? Maybe but not from here. read more

Worse service I've ever experienced at any Sony. Respect to the young guys working the night shift but I've never got an order right. It takes forever for everything all the way down a simply sonic blast. I ask for my food fresh and it's NEVER fresh. And something is always not in the bag. I've gave this location multiple opportunities. read more

I don't even know where to start.. I am not one to ever write a bad review because I get it, I've worked in restaurants before, but the experience my husband and I had tonight was absolutely AWFUL. Every time I come here they never get my order right and it just looks like they slapped it together with as little effort as possible so I guess it's my fault for going back again. Tonight, we ordered: 2 Garlic Butter Bacon Burgers, 1 Grilled cheese with chili, 1 fry, 1 cheesy tot, 2 medium trick or treat blasts, 1 sweet tea and 1 sundrop. We got: 1 Bacon toaster, 1 Garlic butter bacon burger (with a tiny black shriveled up patty and two teeny tiny pieces of burnt bacon), 1 cold grilled cheese with mayo?, 1 order of cold hard fries, 1 cheesy tot, 2 trick or treat blasts (one of which the the bottom half of the cup was completely empty in), they had no sweet tea, and a sundrop. I would usually just suck it up and eat it and not complain but this is ridiculous.. especially when it's like this every single time. read more

We visited Sonic In Virginia Beach on Holland Rd the young man named Zandar was fantastic he greeted us with a smile and was so polite and funny We had dinner in the truck and he walked up to us and asked who need some Ice cream but then he spotted the chicken box he said in an excited voice "what!! somebody got some Bojangels That's what's up" We all laugh!! He really went above and beyond Great Customer Service!! made our day!! read more

6-19. We pulled into a stall and ordered two milkshakes. We waited 40 minutes for them! FORTY MINUTES! This is absolutely ridiculous! Meanwhile, it seems the drive through was being given precedence over the customers in the stalls as we all sat there, waiting.....and waiting.......and waiting. We will never visit this particular location again. This is not the first time we've had issues with this location. The service has gone straight to hell here over the last few months. Apparently the management here is clueless about how to service orders quickly and efficiently. Terrible! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Their shakes aren't anything like any other sonic I've been to. It's like gritty, half frozen, and soupy. Normally you get a smooth soft serve shake, but that's not the case here. I got the brownie batter shake today and it looked nothing like the picture, not to mention had Oreos in it and some chocolate crap at the bottom that tasted like chemicals. read more
