    Strawberry ice cream cone
    Henry M.

    When you pass by it doesn't look like much in all honesty. But on a whim and a very hot day why not have some ice cream? When I got my cone I was pleasantly surprised on the quality of ice cream they serve. The staff were really friendly and helped navigate through the plentiful options. I can't wait to go back :D

    The Classic Cone offers delicious soft serve in vanilla, chocolate & twist. I was looking forward to the cherry (bc DQ discontinued theirs) and would also like to try the butterscotch... but not until they work on the dipped cone technique The ice cream has to be a perfect shape and then it needs to be held down in the shell until it covers the whole cone. So, I was a little disappointed when they handed me my lopsided, sad-looking cone. Luckily the flavor was delicious but bc of the poor coating and holes, it dripped all over me even with napkins. My Mom got a vanilla soft serve cup with wet nuts and loved it! Generous portion of toppings and the flavor was superb. My husband got a mocha milkshake and seemed to really enjoy it! Menu flavors are hit or miss based on deliveries and if the truck has sold out of things. My son got the 2 scoop Cookie Monster waffle cone (yes they have hard scoop ice cream and floats, too!) Again with the practice / technique. The girl scooping it DESTROYED his waffle cone and instead of giving him another one, she handed him a cup and he was a mess by the time he was done eating it. We'll definitely come back because the ice cream was awesome, hopefully the presentation will match next time. It's right by a seafood restaurant & putt-putt if you want to make a family fun outing of it.

    It was OK. Not bad. Parking was a problem. I think for what we got it was a bit pricey. 2 shakes for over $18.

    I have been seeing the commercial for the double grilled cheeseburger that they just added to the…read moremenu, so I was hype to try it after my long shift of being a server. I ordered it with no mustard because I don't eat mustard. Anyways, I didn't bother to check it because the mentioned they were short staffed and so I was trying to get out of there as soon as I could. I got home, hype to try my burger and it was SO BURNT & COVERED in mustard. I was exhausted after my shift so I didn't have enough energy to drive back to complain about it so I just left it alone. The reason I didn't rate lower though is because the staff was still friendly, I also ordered tater tots & onion rings that were delicious & got a huge Route 66 coke that was to die for. My husband said the tots were 'too burnt' for him but I thought they were pretty good. I ate the onion rings in the car ride home cause I was hungry so I don't have a picture but they were good. I understand being short staffed, having a history of restaurant business myself, however, I still don't understand how hard it is to read a ticket and make out the correct food.

    I moved to Aiken recently and was delighted to find a Sonic on Whiskey Rd! We had several where I…read morelived in another state, and it was my favorite lunch spot - Sonic served delicious food with a 1950's drive-in vibe. What a shock when I got to Aiken. The Whiskey Rd location had slow, unhappy service and delivered an AWFUL overcooked dry hamburger. And yet, it was so greasy that I didn't dare eat it in the car as I had planned. Really gross - dripping grease everywhere. I figured it might have been a bad day? Bad grill cook? I gave it another try. Exact same thing. I will not be going back. I'm sad because I know how amazing their food usually is. Something is horribly wrong with this particular Sonic.

The level of disrespect I witnessed towards your staff and patrons Sunday evening was abhorrent. I was embarrassed I had to witness it. Every interaction I had with an employee while I sat waiting for my take-out was quite pleasant and welcoming. You sir, on the other hand chose to speak loudly and belittle your staff...on two different occasions...In plain view, and fully audible. One patron walked by and said 'thank you and bye' to you directly...twice, You couldn't be bothered. I even said thank you as I walked out the door to test the same waters as an experiment. Nope...same treatment from you. Maybe you had a bad day. No excuse if so. I've just never witnessed a display like that, especially at an Italian restaurant. Be better. Not a good look. People are paying attention and will not patronize a local business if the owner and/or management overtly display a temper in front of their guests. Remember what world we're living in. Someone could've easily recorded that display. Don't go viral. Just treat your staff better. Have visited Aiken a lot lately. Everyone is so nice. What's your secret?

We drive around the building to see one worker playing on her phone, so we parked and went inside. As soon as we entered the building, we were hit with this stinch what I could describe as "moldy sour milk". The lady behind the counter didn't even know we had entered the building as she was playing on her phone, only did she realize when the line cook said "welcome in". I turned to look towards the drink machine, only to see this giant crusty white stain that covered half of the counter and looked to have spewed out from behind the drink machine. Seeing this, along with the stinch of spoiled milk, I spoke up and said "we shouldn't eat here." This place definitely needs a health check by DHEC.

It's definitely a guilt pleasure type of late-nighr meal. You don't come here for a healthy salad or longevity.

But I have to say, this place hit the spot for a down-and-dirty fast food joint where you want to eat away your problems and pretend dinner was the best way to get out of the house. Enjoy!
