    I hate to be the one to post a review like this, but I have to be honest. I've always seen the commercials for Sonic, & wondered what the experience would be like (Since it's not everyday someone on skates brings you food.) Little did I know, that dream was going to turn into a nightmare. In a nutshell, the wait was horrendous. There were no skates, only feet. My wife ordered $50 worth of food that all arrived cold. My order was 50% wrong, so we waited 10 mins for someone to WALK back with a chicken sandwich with two back buns. I don't blame you Sonic, and I'm not mad at the workers either. I understand what's going on in the world right now but...we gotta do better than this guys. C'mon. Terrible first impression. I'll be back in August/September hoping for improvement.

    I'm always ecstatic to see a sign for Sonic! While in the area, the hubs and I made a mini pit-stop to grab a Cherry Limeade to go. Going through the drive-thru, the employee was super friendly and pleasant. We didn't even make it up to the drive-thru window to pay, as one of the employees came out with the drink and got our card for payment! We pulled up and received a receipt and the card, and we were on our way! Getting-in and out is a little tricky, as if you're coming from the opposite direction on Crain, you'll have to make a U-turn; otherwise, you make a left and have to make another mini U-turn to get into the lot. +Cherry Limeade +friendly staff +may require a U-turn off of Crain

    By far the worst experience I have ever had at Sonic. The young lady that took our order was beyond rude. We attempted to make 2 separate orders and she acted as in thou we were inconveniencing her. She charged us for food we didn't order but with her poor attitude I was to afraid of what she might do to our food if we requested the right order. Eat half of food then notice MOLD ON THE HOT BUN. Poor service and molded food to top it off. We won't be returning. Chili Cheese Dog

    Noppppppeeee. This…read moreis NOT the Habit I fell in love with in Cali. Ranch is still fire, of course, but the food and service here? Not my fave. First visit: I ordered online. Arrived early and waited a few minutes. My order was called. Here's what I ordered: -two Char burgers (one lettuce wrapped): these were not good. Smothered in so much mayo it was dripping i -meal deal (half patty melt, chicken bites, side, etc. I'll spare you the details, but I asked for an extra ranch after looking in my bag, and realizing I didn't even get the three I was supposed to get. I had two in the bag and I asked for two more, but informed her that I was missing one. My bag was on the counter and she yanked it towards her and started moving all of my food around as if I had hidden the ranch. Being that distrustful of a customer over a $.65 container of ranch is insane. Typically, most locations will give you one of the small ones for free, anyway. But also, chill when you haven't even provided what you were supposed to. Finally got the ranch and the burgers were so covered in mayo that it was leaking out of the bun. Imagine large drops of mayo and mayo alone falling out of your burger as you attempt to take a bite. I ended up wiping it with a napkin. Second visit: I came back with char tickets to pay for a portion of my order. These tickets are usually sent by customer service if you have a bad experience. Anyway, the cashier was very, very nice this time around. However, he was very confused when I was placing my order. Previously, you could use char tickets and app offers. I guess this has recently changed? Anyway, there's all this confusion at the register. The employee is super nice the whole time but it was frustrating. Anyway, finally get my food and it's better than last time but the street corn tots were gross lol and my chicken bites tasted like they'd been fried then reheated.

I've lived near Waldorf for over a year now and I NEVER knew this place existed and now I know why. It's located in a small strip of stores, some out of business, a nail shop and Foster's. Inside has the industrial look with the exposed ventilation, which is a look I've always liked. Fosters is no frills with a menu to match. Burgers, wings, subs, hot dogs and salads. You can also get a draft or bottled beer and a canned margarita. We both chose the 1/4lb chilli cheese hot dogs that were delicious. Her onion rings were bomb but so were my natural cut fries!! I started this review giving Foster's 3 stars, thinking, what's so special about Foster's that would make me come here over a place like Buffalo Wild Wings? As I write, I realized that every now and then I just want a good grilled chilli dog and fries, and honestly, I can't think of a better one than Foster's.. So, 4 stars it is!!

I tried a cheesesteak (with mayo and grilled onions), a hotdog (with bbq sauce and grilled onions) and some onion rings. The cheesesteak was very bland. It lacked seasoning, and they put so little mayo on it that it seemed like just eating steak and bread. I had to add some pepper and sauce at home to add some flavor to it and make it more enjoyable. The hot dog was better from a sauce perspective, but the meat itself was just ok. I had hoped they had something special about their hotdogs, but it seemed to me it could have easily been something I picked up at the local supermarket. Solid, but not something I would order again. The onion rings were good, and the establishment was clean and inviting. I may go back to try their charburgers, as those seem to be a specialty. Hopefully it will be better than the meh meal I had today.

Today I finally visited and was a bit disappointed to see the underwhelming interior where it is strictly carry out and cheap metal guest chairs to wait on while the food is prepared. But it's really about the food right?! Meh. It was very hit and miss. I ordered the (4) sliders with grilled onions. They were slightly charred which was nice, and they were juicy, but they could have been cooked a little more (they were like medium to medium well and I prefer well done - I should note they didn't ask how I preferred my burgers cooked). I also ordered their jumbo fried wings and picked sweet and sassy sauce. The sauce was tasty and the wings had a nice texture, but beyond the sauce the wings had a plain flavor suggesting they didn't season the wings before frying and then coating them with sauce. Overall the food was solid but not awe inspiring. I was less impressed with their cakes. I ordered a strawberry slice and a carrot cake. The carrot cake was moist and wasn't bad at all. I've had much better, but it was edible and satisfied my sweet tooth for the day. The strawberry cake however was dry and grainy. Perhaps it was old. It was definitely a waste of $7.99! On the plus side the employee was friendly and nice, so there's that!

I also got okra and that was not great. The wild zing wings were also solid but again not great. It was just an average experience from an Average Joe's kind of establishment. I'm not sure if I'll return.
