Waited 20 minutes for our order only for them to take it the wrong car. We had to reject it because those people touched our food. Took another 15 minutes for them to bring our order out again. So frustrating. Update: they messed up our second order. Missing items. Completely ridiculous and we won't ever return. read more

Great service and food. Fun place to be. This is a filler sentence because the review must be 85 characters long

Ordered food app says one price and restaurant charged a higher price. Corn dog was over done. It was black, ordered two plane hamburgers and received two with everything on them. Not going back have had issues Since it was bought out. Not going back would rather drive to Rock Hill than be ripped off F- rating read more

Waited over 30 minutes for a mini sundae , a jr burger and cinnamon sticks that were cold and the sundae was melted...the entire right side (while leaving/left side facing the restaurant) was flooded. Between the lack of service, the bad attitudes and terrible food I'm never coming back. This place is for the birds now. read more

Sonic Drive-In - Full menu all day! - Burgers Near Me - York, South Carolina

See all

Worst Sonic Drive In EVeR had bad service in May 2025 slow service rude employees Gave 1 more chance end of July 2025 Slower Service if possible Rude employees Poor customer service Waited over 30 minutes no apologies no communication at all Only Sonic in York SC unfortunately Horrible experience read more

I parked in stall 19 and proceeded to sit there for 25 minutes. The red button cleared itself 3 times and nobody ever took my order. I would say this is a one off experience but this happens every time I visit this location. I wish I could comment on the food, but I've never gotten even close to ordering it. read more

I haven't had fast food in ages (almost a year?), but happened to run into this Drive-In on our way home from a short road trip. First of all, I love this retro "Drive-In" concept, as well as their menu of burgers, sandwiches, hotdogs and shakes (and more!). Also, from my very few experiences (possibly 3 or 4 times total?) in various chain locations in my past, I remember thinking that their burgers and shakes were pretty good. On this latest drive-in experience, I had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich w/ Tots, as well as their Root Beer Float...and all were quite yummy. My husband seemed to enjoy his mile-long hot dog as well. So again, no issue with their foods. Here's the one big problem with our Drive-In experience. The waitresses were NOT wearing masks. Amazing enough, in York, SC, there must not be a mask mandate in place (??). Despite a fairly full lot of cars, I only saw 2 waitresses...and both were not wearing masks!! Just WOW. We quickly popped ours on when this super-animated waitress came to our car window, talking right into our faces. Despite her perkiness, she was completely oblivious! Honestly, I would have much preferred a non-animated bitch with a mask on. For the food (and the fun concept), I would have gladly given 4 stars, but for the lack of mask wearing, I would have gladly given a ZERO. Sadly, that bumps their ratings to about a 2. I'm not giving up on Sonic, but I may wait until I revisit one of their Drive-Ins, given how their Covid precautions are so lacking. PS***Learned that there indeed was a mask mandate in York, so this waitress (as well as the other I saw across the way) was out of line! read more

Sonic Drive-In - Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Tots & Root Beer Float - Burgers Near Me - York, South Carolina

Service and wait time was okay, but the food was room temperature at best. So much so that the cheese on our hamburgers were still solid. Makes one wonder how long those patties had been waiting to be put on a bun. read more

I've had better and I have had worse. Food was what I expected but the service was better than I have seen at most fast food restaurants. Friendly and up beat. Not used to that since Covid read more

I have stopped going to this location. They dont seem to care much, are out of items constantly. My order is botched every time. No one ever offers to make it right. Stay away, let them go out of business so a new owner can come in and make it right. read more

This sonic needs to be shut down. Slowest service EVER. Rude servers, crappy food. Basically a hole in the earth.

Trash! Place can't get a simple order right. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!! It's the worst service and food!!!!!!!! STAY AWAY

What a shame! Pulled into a spot at this Sonic and pressed the red button to order. Waited about 8 minutes when this truck pulls into the spot next to me. He was immediately greeted and asked for his order, meanwhile I'm still waiting for at least a "hello". I figured there was an issue with the intercom in my spot so I decided to go to the drive-thru. At the drive-thru, two cars placed their order and moved on to pay. I pulled up to the intercom and no one greets me nor asks for my order. Am I imagining this? After waiting 10 minutes I decided to call inside the store. The "manager" informed me that they were having system issues and didn't know I was waiting. I asked if she could take my order since now she knows I'm waiting in the drive-thru. She refused. I waited another 10 minutes and still no one communicates in the drive-thru. While on the phone with customer service, I moved my car up and waited to see what would happen with the car behind me. Lo and behold, they were immediately greeted and order taken. I'm still wondering what I did to be treated in this manner, but I'm at a loss. All I did was pull up and wait for my order to be taken. I will make no assumptions. To Sonic Staff/Manager: I pray that you never experience the treatment you gave me today. I pray that God will bring people into your life that will show you how to be and do better. read more

Worst. Sonic. Ever. The Ice cream and milk shakes came melted and unlabeled despite it being 40 degrees. We asked the employee which were which and he shrugged and walked away. Additionally, the cheesecake in the milkshake tasted like it was no longer safe to be eaten. Most of us left feeling sick to our stomach. The only redeeming thing about this experience was that they gave us paper towels after the liquidated ice cream spilled all over our car like Niagara Falls. read more

This is the worst Sonic ever. I'm never coming to this place again. I try and try to give them the benefit of the doubt but this is it. They always forget something with my order. Do you do it on purpose? I tip the hops really good! read more

I was the first in line at drive thru, which backed up shortly after we placed our order. They took forever to get to us and when they did, they gave us frozen food. HORRIBLE. And the food tasted bad. If you can't handle a rush like that, then you have no business in fast food..... read more

Their Icecream machine is ALWAYS broken. What is the point of being open? Half of the menu is Icecream. What a joke!

One time I have food a piece of hair In my food but the milkshakes are one of the BEST things. But the food isn't the best and also the chicken is just skin.but overall it's good. read more

Absolutely horrible!!! First off took them at least 45 minutes waiting in line for our order to finally arrive- and of course they messed up everything... Got a cheeseburger instead of breakfast burritos and with an order that is suppose to be the ultimate meat breakfast burrito you would think that you would receive some meat!! Nope... got 2 breakfast burritos that was only cheese and a couple of tater tots and some cheese- NO meat at all!!! Tried to call them back and let them know about all the errors and maybe get a credit - they refused to answer the phone- tried calling back up there 4 times!! What a joke!!! read more

my family and I waited over 15 minutes. We never received any service within that 15 minutes. I pressed the button three times and nothing happened . This place is trash. wish I able to speak to a manager. this was ridiculous! there was only one other car there! read more

If there was a way to leave zero stars that would be more appropriate for my experience at this sonic location. After driving in and waiting about 15 minutes for my order to be taken, i pulled around to the drive thru and waited another 15 minutes. At the speaker i was told it only works intermittently and to pull around for my order to be taken. No one ever came out to take the order. Even after i walked into the front and asked, was told my the manager, Ty, that someone would be out there. Nothing. Very disappointed. read more

we were at this stores drive waiting on our food for 30 minutes yesterday. A car hop finally checked on us and asked what we needed. I told her we are waiting on our food and what we had ordered. A few minutes later she came back and told us we had to reorder as our order got sent out with someone else. Very poor management at this location. We will not go back to this location. read more

This place sucks. Was just told again that they were not taking order's for 20 minutes. All we wanted was a damn milkshake.

Our visit was awesome! Food was hot and sooooo good! Our carhop was Mariah and we received a check back by 2 other carhops as well! My kids love this restraint as well and we all left happy! What a treat to eat in our car as I was with all 3 kids and it's super convenient and easy to keep it together. We will definitely be back! read more

This place has the worst custome service. Rude employees. Never has icecream. Refused 2 refundcme.

We waited in the drive thru for over an hour. Everyone around us was receiving food left and right and not once were we acknowledged! I would not recommend this poorly managed sonic. Horrible horrible experience. I'm surprised they are even in business. read more

SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I hate to even admit that I waited 30 minutes for food. Its not a one time thing either. It's always slow.

Went 5 mins until closing (unaware of closing time) and they were willing to make what I ordered with no attitudes. Thank you again Sonic! I greatly appreciate it read more

This place is about the worst serviced drive-in I've ever been to in my life. They take like 20 min. a order and they're are really rude to us. I advise no one to go there ever in your whole life. Their service is like diner compared to prime steak house (that bad) read more

2nd time in a row back to back that it takes forever to try to place an order then they decide to tell me that they were closed 30 minutes before they actually close complete was of time. Will not be back to this sonic. read more

Third time we have driven out of the way to come to this Sonic for a late snack and they've closed 45 minutes early with several cars still pulling in. The hours say they are open until 10:00PM but they will turn down customers at 9:15PM. read more

Pleasant surprise!!!! Family and I grabbed lunch here today at 12:45 pm. We ordered 3 of the #1 combos (cheese burgers) and a corn dog combo. The burgers were delicious!!! The lettuce, tomato, and onions were all fresh. Burgers were cooked perfectly. The boy's corn dog was good. It must have been, I didn't hear a word out of him for at least 2 minutes. My tots and wife's onion rings were both hot and delicious. read more

Have been multiple times where they are more concerned with an order's speed over accuracy. From undercooked items, to reheated items to appear fresh, burnt items and missing. They have items which you cannot get from regular fast food, yet I have to stop coming by when I am in the area. Their ice cream options and beverages remain tasty. read more
