Sonic Drive – in

Only rating the service which is RUDE! The food is good but unfortunately was not able to eat as the rude service pushed me away. I parked my car in the slot and pressed the button. The woman asked what I want and I ordered two meals. Before I could ask someone in my car what they want to drink before I heard the rudest monotone chain smokers voice scream «what you wanna drank?». I was utterly shocked and sat in confusion silently. Then an employee approached and knocked and asked about my order had the person in the passenger seat explain that we couldn’t order here there because of the service.

The only thing we went there for was a vanilla shake and we’re not disappointed. Huge, thick, creamy and delicious. Three people could share the large! Wow. I want to try a mixed one next time but the vanilla was an awesome first!

Good place to go when you want to get a quick bite, the burgers are pretty good and their ice cream and shakes are on point.

Terrible terrible service. It all goes downhill when «my people» come on board. Smh

The service was friendly and fast, and our order with a lot of small bits was exactly correct. The boneless wings were my favorite. The low rating is mainly because I’ll admit, I’m not a bit fast food person to begin with, but also because of the neighborhood. If you can, park in a spot the furthest away from the highway! Unless you want lunch/​dinner and a show– and by show I mean being approached by scary/​depressing rif raf set to roaring hum of traffic. But maybe that’s only during lunch time? Or it was a particularly rough day in the neighborhood?

Although my choice of food for breakfast is an unusual breakfast choice, it’s refreshing to have the food taste the way it’s suppose to taste. Im usually satisfied with my food at this location and feel that other locations could use them as training guide (see my other Sonic reviews). My onion rings were cooked to perfection & so was the popcorn chicken. My one & only complaint was that it took extremely too long & made me late for work, had I not already paid, I would have left; therefore today’s visit gets 3 stars. Bön Appetite!

Great place for food but the shakes came out grainy. Been to a few sonics but never had shakes quite like this. Ordered a banana and a reeses shake and both were equally grainy.

The restaurant as a whole was fine, but the employee running the drive thru should be fired. They were having a conversation with their coworkers in the booth and took forever to just take my order, then got it all wrong. Not cool. Made me regret spending my money there.

Summer is here and now I frequent this location with my kids for some delicious slushes and shakes. Never had a problem with the drivethru or the car hop. Pretty much easy to order whatever we want and the orders have been perfect all the time. Come by after 8pm and the slushes are half price or $ 0.99 or some low price. This is why we come so often. Don’t let the area fool you or else you will miss out and it does not have to be summer for you to visit this establishment.

The DUMBEST people on the planet work here! Esp in the drive thru area! I swear a GED would make them over qualified ! It then no time to take the order but 20 mins to get it right ! Had to repeat myself to the young lady taking the order because she was too busy on her phone ! Instagram should be put on hold at work sweetie! Then we get our food and 4 items are missing from our order and one of our drink orders were wrong! How do you confuse cherry limeade with green tea? Really the need to restaff ASAP when it comes to the drive thru area ! Two people where helping might I add! So the question is HOW MANY DUMMIES does it take to get an order right! Thank god the food was good cuz that is a an extra struggle star I gave !

This Sonic is the shiz! The employees were nice, the food came quick, and the burger was delicious. I’d definitely recommend this place if you looking for a fast food fix. You also have to try a «Purple-​O» slush. It’s not on the menu but it’s made with sprite, powerade, cranberry, and vanilla. It really deserves the name, yum.

Yay for there being a Sonic in North Jersey and yay for it being near the airport!!! I ended my trip with a bang by going to Sonic before I went to the airport for my flight. The food was hot and amazing. The staff they were so nice! They came to the car multiple times to check on us!

Food is always hot. Ice cream is always good and service is rather quick unless you’re waiting at the drive thru and there happens to be a long line. Customer service is really scripted and monotonous, but can you blame the employees? I’d be mentally drained as well if I had to deal with the hood ²⁴⁄₇ with a smile on my face.

Sonic is perfect for a late night snack. Or a meal. We made it there 30 minutes before they closed (midnight), and found that the lobby was already closed for the night. We resigned ourself to ordering from the car, but an employee opened up the lobby to take our water. As far as the food goes, it was typical Sonic fare (read: high in calories and delicious) but the entire experience was a bit surreal. We couldn’t get extra condiments, water and even a knife and fork because the lobby was closed. And the employee that took our order, while awesome, seemed completely exhausted.
I’d be exhausted too if I worked on roller skates. All in all, an average sonic experience. My butterfinger-Reese’s blast was the meal highlight. But it always is.

Looooovvvveeeee you sooonnniicc … Awesome food ever better service. Prices are decent. Food is filling and it’s ready SUPER fast. The line can sometimes be long but that’s because every one else knows how good it is! Generous portions

My 1^st visit to this place was horrible. We waited at the drive up window for 10 minutes just for them to finally answer us and tell us it’s closed. No signs or anything. Then we have to go get back in a drive thru line that was about 10 cars long. Bad 1^st experience and poor organization skills.

Love this Sonic ! I travel to this Sonic since there are none in NYC. Employees are always super helpful and friendly ! The food is great and the milkshakes are AWESOME ! I recommend the Oreo cheesecake & banana Milkshake !!! (:

Yum in the hood. The shakes are awesome!
The employees are always pleasant and go out if their way to ensure satisfaction.
Just this evening while waiting in a huge drive-​thru line in the pouring rain, I witnessed a few employees bringing food out to the cars in line in an attempt to get the line moving faster — and it worked.
They were able to process three times more transactions and get the line moved just as fast.

Until recently there wasn’t a Sonic in NY, and even so, the only one is on the Southern side of the middle of nowhere, so suffice to say I’ve not had many Sonic experiences in my lifetime. Whenever I would see a Sonic commercial I would be filled with a mix of sadness and rage that there wasn’t one anywhere within a reasonable driving distance. I did get to go once about 10 years ago in New Mexico and that almost doesn’t count since their menu was completely different. I assume a New Mexico state law states that at least 25% of the menu items need to come with green chili. Seems like it anyway. That Green Chili Sonic burger was good.
So about THIS Sonic, it wasn’t bad. Its nice and all to have people roller skate out to your car, though this means you need to add a tip to the cost of your meal, lest ye look like a douche bag. (we were already too close to the Jersey Shore as is)
As for the food, the burger I got was pretty good, and it was nice to have a pretty decent set of condiments and extras. The tater tots were decent, but the standout item for me were the cheddar stuffed jalapenos — the filling actually tasted fairly close to real cheddar, and they were very tasty. The best part of the meal was the strawberry limeade I got — yes there were slices of lime in there, but better, there was real strawberry pulp! That was so good.
I’d go back to Sonic, but since I live in Queens, probably not to this one.

I had driven by this location on Route 1 so many times on my way to New Jersey Nets games but resisted stopping in because i knew i would fall in love… well, the romance has finally blossomed!
On my way back from a Soundgarden concert (yes, they are back!) late on a rainy Friday night my friends suggested going here because the food is «epic» and so we drove on through.
They are open 24 hours but it was past midnight and it had been raining hard so there was no service to the car. Regardless, the food here rerally is epic. I ordered jumbo popcorn chicken with tater tots and a coke, my friends had a loaded burger, a breakfast burrito (serverd any time of the day) and some pepper poppers.
All the food we ordered only came out to 21 bucks, which is a steal.
I don’t know if it’s because of the late hour, but we were skimped on condiments. I was given one small buttermilk ranch cup for a huge box of popcorn chicken which wasn’t enough and no ketchup in the bag. You may want to ask for these when you make the order.
The menu is pretty massive for a «fast food» joint and it could be overwhelming to look at for the first time. All types of burgers, hot dogs, chicken, breakfast and other bites. They also make different slushes and shakes that look interesting! Best of all is everything is pretty cheap!
Sonic is great and needs to come a little closer to NYC. This location in Elizabeth is the closest and is a 30 minute drive from the Brooklyn side of the Verrazano bridge.
