Sonic was a mixed bag for me. I loved the double smash burger. It was perfectly seasoned and simply yummy. The premium chicken bites were solid and the natural lemonade was pretty good. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. I originally wanted a crispy chicken sandwich instead of the bites but they inexplicably were out of the chicken patties. The onion rings were a crumbled mess in the bag. I literally could not pick up one whole onion ring as they had all fallen apart. Heck, even picking up one solid half an onion ring would have been nice. That display was unacceptable. The crinkle cut fries were ok but certainly nothing to crave let alone even order again. And the fruit slushie was way too sweet. But on the plus side, the staff were nice and professional, something you don't see enough at fast food restaurants, so kudos to them for hiring and training well. read more

Whenever I see a Sonic I make it a point to stop. It's one of my favorite fast food places and I really like the drive-in experience. I ended up getting a double cheeseburger with tater tots and one of their new slushes the lime aid slush with the bubbles. All of it was great. Service is a little slow and they're machined didn't work for the credit card, but overall I had a good experience. read more

Look, is any fast food place worthy of five stars? No. It's fast food. BUT for a fast food place, this Sonic is A+, and it truly all comes down to the service. The folks taking orders are quick, and accurate. The food comes out snappy and hot, and IF something is missed or mixed up (which is rare, but hey, stuff happens) they fix it so fast and with a great attitude. Plus, it's a small thing, but I've never got an order without napkins, the right utensils, and some mints. Fast food is fast food but this place and the people working here deserves your support, 100%. read more

Purchased the so called cheesy bacon burger. The burger was huge but the bread was stale, the bacon was hard and gritty, and it had little flavor. Also, the wait was long at drive thru; thought they were cooking to order, but the food was warm (almost cold) not hot as if it had been sitting. Very disappointed. They need to take tips from Wendy's. My first impression was terrible; will be the last time ordering there. read more

Me and my boyfriend got our food after a good little while of waiting and both of our burgers were grey and gross. I got a cherry limeade and it tasted awful. read more

We were there on a work day last week in the middle of the day. We pulled up to a bay, pressed the button for service and got no response. We then went to the drive-thru with 1 car ahead of us. When it was our turn, we started to place our order and the lady told us to "hold on"...we sat there for approx 10 mins and she never returned. Needless to say, we went to the McDonalds next door and received grade A service! This is the 3rd time this has happened to us at the Waldorf Sonic and is absolutely unprofessional!! It is the worst run Sonic we've ever been to and we've been to a few in different towns and states. NOT RECOMMENED AT ALL! read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. The worst sonic I've been to. Cold, soggy food . Doesn't match the prices they have.

Honestly the only problem is that it takes a while to come out and also ONCE they missed one item but 2 minutes later came back to us with it and apologize. The food is amazing and I recommend it. Specifically I recommend the poppers and double smash burger. read more

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. read more

I do not recommend you buy anything out this place but slushy or drinks because the food is all cold and nasty always

Love this location. Our food aways. Comes out in normal time frame. It's always hot. We also recieve awesome customer service. They absolutely love my son! 100% recommend. read more

Great burgers and coney Chile dog! The shakes are perfectly textured! Follow with one of their awesome desserts!

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 read more

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 read more

Stopped here for ice cream last night. While waiting at the drive up window the employee making my husbands spilled the ice cream on the dome lid. He scooped it off with his hand and licked it off his fingers. He took that same hand and wiped the rest off the dome lid and ate that. He then put it on the counter and the employee working the drive thru tried to hand it to me. I asked him if he could remake it. He said "yeah, why?" So I told him what I saw. The second employee remade it with no problems but if I hadn't been watching them through the window, my husband would have gotten ice cream with a side of saliva. None of them were wearing gloves and the first guy that was licking his hand had a long beard and wasn't wearing a beard net either. Will not be going here or ordering Uber from here again. read more

Hmm if you are telling me that this location has shake, it turned out that it wasn't the same quality like the La Plata location. La plata location that closed down uses styrofoam on the shake. The shake is very thick which this place lacks of. You can actually enjoy what you drink on long drive. I hope they will listen. Should I even try the food they served...we will see. read more

Just awful. I understand, it's "fast food", so how good could it be? I suppose if it had been fast, or even moderately fast, I would have rated it a 2. I'm not sure how old the oil is in the fryer, but it's time for a change. read more

I loved Sonic when the establishment came to my area MD.But something happened the food just taste terrible. Maybe it was just what I was ordering,I don't know ! The only thing is good to me is the cheese cake smoothie and The pretzel twist with cheese.I had the hotdog with pretzel bread not good.But this is not the first time getting some type of hotdog. read more

The service was fast but the blast was runny, I could have drank with a straw. I won't be going back there.

Terrible BLT. Don't come close. Highly disappointed. Teach the cooks how to make one. read more

I've never been to any sonic location, so this was completely new for me. Everybody has always been begging for a sonic in Waldorf, and so I was ready to see what all the excitement was about! I tried to come here twice when they first opened and was turned away, and after hearing that most people had to wait at least an hour, I just stopped trying until now. So there was no line inside when we got there, the cashier was super rude. She had a complete straight face and spoke like a robot. I got a bacon cheeseburger and my husband got a chicken sandwich. My cheeseburger was super flat and wasn't anything special. I was expecting an in-n-out burger, it looked and tasted like a Mcdouble, except it was 7 dollars. My husbands chicken sandwich was sad. I attached a picture! It was literally half the size of normal sandwich bread, with a mini chicken patty on it. He ate it in like 3 bites, and it was also $7. My sister got the steak and cheese and she said it tasted and looked like it was microwaved. I'm so glad I waited a couple minutes and didn't wait in a long line like I would have if I came when they opened. We got milkshakes, and those were really good, plus they have a lot of flavors and the price is good, shakes are half off after 8pm. We might come back for shakes, but the food was not worth it. Burger King tastes better than this place, and that's saying a lot. read more

Sonic Drive-In - The saddest chicken sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

Every time we go here (8+ months), I'm always shocked with how terrible the service is when you use the stalls. Either the speakers are broken and we can't hear the person talking or it takes 15+ minutes to have the button acknowledged. They may be understaffed (I couldn't say for certain because we don't go into the building) but this is a consistent issue. If you want sonic, avoid the stalls and just go through the drive thru and save yourself the aggravation. read more

Honestly these reviews are deceiving. I was expecting a really bad experience because of these reviews but it went better then I thought. Yes it can be slow but it's because they are so so so busy so cut them some slack, we're all human at the end of the day. The food was amazing and since we were at the kiosks instead of in the drive thru line we got our food very quick. Overall, a good experience would definitely go again. read more

Would had given zero but that's not an option. What about a fast food with no one in the counter? You walk in and no one comes out to check you or take your order...worse place ever. Anyway, their loss. Spent my money at Chick-fil-A That never disappoints in quality of food as well as customer service. read more

So I've been to Sonic drive thru's in the south and this is a pretty sad effort at imitation of those. The slushys and fruit drinks are not flavorful enough like they're skimping on the fruit syrups or something. The food is served cold and hard and just overall gross. The employees have bad attitudes and are slow as molasses. I'll stick to chick fil a if I need a fast way to clog my arteries on the go. read more

All the food taste like, bad frozen food. The concept is good, the execution is bland. In my opinion there are better fast food options. And one last thing. How do you make a non-cold Milkshake ??? Enough Said... Two Stars for a neat Concept though. Wow !!! read more

Hubby & son have a "like" for Sonic. 1 car in the drive-thru ahead of us. Ordering & pick-up were both a breeze. #3, no mayo, lettuce or tomato w/fries & fruit punch for Hubby. Garlic parmigian boneless wings, fries, fruit punch & an Oreo Sonic Blast for my son. I didn't place an order, but I must admit, I tasted the wings & they were delicious! I'm a lover of anything garlic, so these wings were right up my alley! Thumps up for the customer service & garlic wings! Note - standing by suggestion to management (previous review) IRT employee safety! read more

Very slow and poor customer services . Will not be returning to another sonic after this whole experience.

The young lady who took our order just giggled and continued to ask us to repeat the order. Then when we asked for them to repeat it back to us for clarity she giggled and hadn't heard a thing. The THIRD time a male voice came on and told us to start ALL OVER. Service here is never good but this was the worst yet. Need better customer service focus. 28 minutes ago I wrote this.....we are still waiting and when we buzzed again the giggle girl was back and says they couldn't find us.........WHAT????? So, we had to go in to rectify this. They gave our food to the truck next to us who came after us and sped off in a hurry. Now we know why. read more

Service is very terrible. Seems to be short staff had a horrible experience the day prior. CSR was very rude. And an issue with mobile orders and did as the screen suggested me to do which was press the red button to confirm order with the CSR and she was rude about it I'm about to stop coming to Sonic read more

HORRIBLE FOOD!! The food at this Sonic is steadily on the decline since the summer! Not sure why. It is a huge disappointment the food is always cold, tastes and looks like it's been sitting out for a long time or maybe the food is just old to begin with. They even managed to mess up a Sonic blast by not mixing the ingredients at all!!! How is that possible....hello quality check!! I don't recommend this place at all. I suggest you go to another fast food place this one is not worth it it does not even deserve one star and I am a big fan of Sonic...just not this one. read more

There's nothing wrong with the food here. What sucks is that coming here within an hour of closing means they give excuses to not serve certain things......."our ice cream machine is broken", etc. that sorta thing. read more

I want to give credit where it's due. February 15, at 11:30 ish at night. We're tired and hungry and quite frankly just want to go home and veg in front of the television. Four of my friends and I pile in the sit down dining area. We know it's late. Employees are ready to go home by this time. But our experience was awesome! Shanika (spelling) smiled genuinely and met our needs with hospitality and enthusiasm. Our orders were correct and completed in a timely fashion. If she's not a manager she should be. I don't want to be served by anyone who doesn't match that customer service. She set the bar high! Thanks again! :) Ps: The dining area was clean read more

I've been here a couple of times before and my service was great but not today. I only ordered a m&m sonic blast and a small onion ring. I sat at the drive up for about 20 mins and just decided to go elsewhere cause who knows how long it would have been before I got my order. read more

While in the drive thru and I get to the window, I attempt to had two extra items to my order and I'm told by a young window cashier that I'm not able to add to my order. I told him that I never heard of such a thing and he informed me that I would have to drive back around to place a second order. Out of frustration I pull around and get out the vehicle and walk into the Sonic lobby. I explained the situation to the young lady at the counter and she says she usually works the driver-thru and she wasn't familiar with not being able to add to your order. I informed her they should better equip their employees on how to add items to an order that has already been placed because not all of their employees are familiar with the process. Please be aware of the customer service at this establishment. read more

When you are from the south and had sonic in the south you would never visit this one. My husband is from Baltimore and has visited sonic initially in the south that he was so happy when we heard sonic was coming to Waldorf. He even said it himself, the taste and level of service is horrible compared the Southern sonics. We went south for 4th of July and I ordered watermelon frozen lemonade. My husband followed my lead when he got back here and said it was horrible... I value my calories and this is another place I won't waste them at. read more
