Terribly greasy, odd tasting oil that they use for deep fry, gave the whole family stomach issues. Extremely expensive for such small portions, slow service, and not very personable or friendly employees.

Great service and Perfect Diet Cherry Lime-Aide! I am not a huge fan of the food except the onion rings and Chicago dogs but love the drinks and they are worth stopping. Happy hour is ½ off from 2−4pm(drinks).

Good, but not sure it really lives up to the hype. It’s really nothing more than A&W with 21st Century marketing.

My food was great. I had the fried chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread. Yum! I really enjoyed my chocolate covered banana milkshake. It was so good I want another right now. But I wish I had tried the shake that had bacon in it. Next time I am so getting it. We also had a Philly cheesesteak that was decent. I love Sonic!

My favorite fast food joint in town. I love their burgers and the tots rule. Their drinks and deserts are all tasty and I have always found the carhops to be friendly and helpful.

Not sure what all the hating is for. Went at busy time(6:30pm) and had immediate response to call button, food for SIX people in 7 minutes and it was hot and fresh. Coming from the South this is a wonderful find. As for the«no inside seating, eat in your car»…hey its called Sonic Drive-In, what did you expect! There is outdoor seating for about 20(and high chairs too!).

This place is SO hard to find!!! I drove right past it at first. I would definitely come back on a hot summer day — I ordered an M&Ms ice cream thing, and it was like A PINT of ice cream with mini M&Ms in it, which was delicious but I would have shared it had I known it was going to be so rich. It seems pretty cool I like sitting in my car at the like, drive-in kind of atmosphere. And they played cool music!

I went back here again the other day and something turned me off to eating anything that is fried here. They use hydrogenated oils and so their stuff contains Trans Fat. I really don’t think I will be eating here again. I would go back for a Strawberry Real Fruit Slush, though. I had the Ched ‘r’ Peppers and they tasted amazing. Perfect blend of a spicy pepper and cheese deep fried in a hard breadcrumb shell. So unhealthy, though. If you are concerned about taste and not nutrition, I completely suggest you get the Ched ‘r’ Peppers!

I tried Sonic a month or so ago and thought it was terrible. I decided to give their breakfast a try once things slowed down a little there and was just as disappointed as my first visit. The food was a little better but not much and the service was terrible! We rang the buzzer to place our order and were told that we would have to wait. I waited 8 minutes and then rang them again. This time they actually took our order. The first delivery came fairly quickly but the girl kept forgetting things and it took several trips to get 2 breakfasts delivered. My daughters orange juice was filled to the top with ice and about 2 ounces of actual juice. Toasts were cold and soggy and worst of all… their wasn’t a hedge hog anywhere!!! I can put up with a lot… but not false advertising! As we were leaving, the back half of the parking lot was full of employees having a smoke so it’s easy to see why they couldn’t take our order… disappointing at best.

The one word discription«Insanity.» Ok, I realize it just opened but the food was awful. The wait was insanly long(1hour 45 mins) and my order was entirly wrong. I pushed the button to let them know that they had totally screwed up my order and they brought me more of the wrong food. And the food wasnt even good. Right now its brandnew and there busy because everyone wants to try it, But I doubt anyone would ever go back for more. My question is this: lets assume that they fix there quality and service issues. Why would anyone build a restaurant in NYS that has no inside seating? Where the develpers that built this place aware that its cold and wet in NY8 of the 12 months a year. Do they know what snow is? Or do they realize that in the winter its cold? Who in there right mind would sit in a car in January when its 10 degrees out and eat there lunch? Will the servers get snow tires for there rollerskates? This is just a dumb idea, maybe it works in the south, I wish them lots of luck here in the NorthEast. On another note, this«drive-in» concept is far from eco-friendly. I could barly catch my breath with the 30 cars idling. Isnt there a law about how long you can let your car idle? If there isnt there should be.
