Sonic Drive In

SLOWEST SERVICE EVER. It should not take more than 15 minutes for the drive thru when there are only 4 cars at 3:00 on a Monday afternoon. Do not come here unless you have lots of time to spend sitting and waiting for someone to take your order.

This is by far the worst Sonic I’ve ever been to in my 35 years. Today is my 5^th trip as I keep hoping the service will get better… I’ve been severely disappointed again. There are way too many choices for employees to be this rude and service so slow. The young lady that took my order does not need to interact with the general public. This will be my last time to come to the Sonic on Stringtown road. I would suggest the management team screen their employees better and learn how to treat their customers with a bit more respect. Here’s an idea… hop in your car and drive down to the Chick-​fil-​a and see how it’s done. Peace out Sonic… it’s been slow, rude and still slow (waiting over 10 min now for a sonic blast!!!). My six year just said «it’s taking them forever»…he’s a smart kid!

Great change of pace for a quick meal or snack.
Pro: breakfast items any time and green tea is on the menu. Love them serving me at my vehicle!
Con: Styrofoam cups

Cherry lime-​aid. Yup that is my go to. Don’t have Sonic’s where I live. So when I saw the sign, I had to stop. Hard to get to, if not from area, but worth it.

Service is terrible. Took 20 minutes for two slushies. Would have left but couldn’t as we already paid.

I love sonic. & this sonic is prob my favorite one food is always hot & service is friendly. The only down fall and why I do not give it 5 stars is due to the fact it takes a little while to receive your order. But totally worth it in the end.

I love going to Sonic. The food is always super flavorful and freshly made. I have nothing bad to say about the food but ONE time back when I was regularly ordering the mocha shakes I had found some gross stringy stuff in the shake which ended up in my mouth. O called the store and complained and they offered me a new shake for free. That shake also had it in it. I never ordered any drink other than soda there again.

While the food and drinks are up to par with the Sonic standard I’ve come to expect, this location is obscenely slow. I have never once gotten through the drive-​thru in under 6 or 7 minutes — even if just for one drink. It’s absolutely ridiculous. There is just no need for that.
When I worked in the area, I was at this location a lot because the diet cherry limeade was a great pick-​me-​up on a bad, but I’m not going to be making any special trips for such bad service.

Let me start with their drinks, OMG are they good! That what sonic is known for is the fantastic drinks they offer!
Now it has been awhile since I have been there, but everytime I went I was pleased. The food is good for fast food, the drinks are great which can make the meal all so much sweeter! Staff is kind, prices are decent, burgers are good. Hands down one of my favorite places for fast food. Wish they had more locations.
If you’re in the grove city area near stringtown rd, check this place out.

I live in Grove City, and honestly I frequent this Sonic more often than I should… for sure.
I’d have to say that 9 times out of 10 I’m left disappointed. I generall run through the drive through for a quick half off slush or soda and no joke have never made it out of there in less than 15 – 20 minutes. It never fails! Even if there is only 1 – 2 cars in front of me, there’s just something about them that makes it impossible to be fast!
I don’t order their burgers and they got rid of the popcorn chicken which was AWESOME. I have ordered their hot dogs but they are always cold in the middle. Finally, one day when I ordered two hot dogs and onion rings and got home and had cold hot dogs and dripping with old, gross oil onion rings that were reaaally gross, I called. I was told to bring my receipt in and they would make me new ones. I went a few days later and was harassed by the manager in the drive through and told that people lie all the time to get free food. She finally agreed to remake my order and told me that the toppings on the hot dog make it cold… so I again received a hot dog that wasn’t heated thouroughly and the onion rings were at least edible.
Any time I’ve ever gone through and ordered more than 2 drinks, one is always wrong. Every time I have ever ordered a cherry limeaid with extra cherry FLAVOR I end up getting a cherry limeaid with an extra cherry. I don’t know what their IQ level requirement is there but I will not be spending any money there any time soon.

Diet cherry lime aide. Enough said? Or how about happy hour?

Service is slow late at night, really slow, but I Love their corn dogs and smoothies — Yum. It’s fast food!

The burgers are burgers but for the love of peanuts don’t order breakfast! Everytime we do it is always cold or the bread is hard. Not to mention the shells for the burrito things are stale. They’ve got great drinks though, the tea is good and they have good flavors for it. Overall ok as long as you stay away from breakfast you should be ok.

Wow seriously these girls on are some happy pills! (I mean that in a good way) I went here yesterday to get my friends daughter some fries and the chick at the drive through window was so happy, and friendly. Most of the time people smile at you and your like yeah yeah it’s your job but here I felt like she was genuine. I will definitely go here more often now!

Been to this Sonic location many a-​times. We were just at this location twice last weekend. You cant go wrong with their real fruit slushees. Yum. I get the strawberry one every time. Last weekend I thought I would change things up a bit and get their caramel milk shake. not bad. Its a smaller size compared to what you get a Steak N Shake, but it was ok. We’ve tried their food (hamburgers & fries) and we werent fans of their food at all. No thanks. The service there is quick and friendly.

One bad experience after another after another after another. So keep in mind that I have tried multiple locations in multiple states, and I can say that these people just don’t care. From the folks in North Carolina who charged me for food I didn’t order, then said all they could do was give me a gift card that was good anywhere, but it was only good at that location. Or the one closer to Ohio that left huge chunks of frozen bananas in my smoothie. Or the location in Grove City that kept getting my order wrong and took forever to fix it. I swore it off completely. But then I had a really bad hankering for some ice cream, and they were the only one around, so I figured they couldn’t screw that up. It was terrible, almost mealy. My son hated his too. Do not bother with this one!

If I liked greasy, fattening, bland food more than I do, I’d probably like Sonic much more. It’s not a horrible restaurant, it’s just not that good.
Don’t get me wrong, I love fast food just as much as the next guy. I do need to avoid it more often than I do though. I wasn’t very impressed with their food or their menu selection. The hamburgers are mediocre at best and their fries should not be purchased. I’m not a big milkshake fan either, so I didn’t bother trying one although they’re probably the best item on their menu.
In addition, I appreciate the «drive-​in» venue. It reminds me of «Happy Days», but I’m not impressed by this attempt at nostalgia. I think that I’d rather walk up to a counter or order my food through a quick-​serve drive-​thru window than sit in my car and wait for a waitress on roller skates to serve me.
We had a serious problem ordering our meal through the electronic menu board and had to wait what seemed like forever for the waitress to stop by. That wasn’t fun. We couldn’t resolve the issue by walking up to a counter like every other restaurant.
I don’t recommend Sonic. Not only does the environment remind me of the ‘50s, the food tastes like it was made back then! I won’t be back anytime soon.

Fast friendly service at this sonic. The Stringtown road area is fast becoming my favorite «run shopping errands» place, due to it having a lot less hassle than the easton or polaris areas, and it’s easier to access than lennox and closer (from german village) than Brice road.
I always thought you paid a bit more at Sonic for what you got back in portions; but with innovative menu items such as a frito chili cheese wrap, and an awesome beverage (with fruit) selection I think it’s justified. The tots were perfectly crunchy, and our other food (also recommend the corndogs) was well prepared.
Note the entrance to get to this sonic is off an access road that runs parallel to stringtown, not off of stringtown road itself.
