Sonic Drive-In in Columbia

“Drive through Time was fast!\nOn my first trip, I had an "ice issue" with my Strawberry Lemonade (I received ULTRA ice when I specifically asked for "Light ice"). I went back to Sonic on the second trip, and an employee named\n"Caleb" /"Kaleb" made it better by providing me a new lemonade and great customer service (lack of negative attitude and apologies, even though he wasn't the one who created my drink in the first place). Overall, the food and service were good, I would visit this Sonic again. 👌“

“Taylor went above and beyond in customer service, a truly uplifting experience that will inspire me to return and continue to spread the word about his exceptional service. I stop by a sonic almost daily and his customer serve knocked it out of the park. Will definitely be back!!!“

“Vegetarian options: The menu is not vegetarian. I recommend asking where the few [unlabeled] vegetarian options are prepared to ensure there is no cross contamination with meat products. The French toast sticks could be fried in the same oil as chicken; the grilled cheese could be grilled on a burger grill. It is important to inquire.

Parking: There are drive-in stalls with menu boards, both unmarked and handicap accessible parking spaces near the main door for dining in, and a drive thru lane. The drive thru lane can obstruct the path of people parked beside the drive thru.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space inside and on the patio to enjoy a family meal.“

“Our recent Sonic Drive-In experience was highlighted by the Route 44 Powerade with lime and real fruit. The drink arrived ice-cold and was incredibly refreshing—perfect for a hot day. The lime added a bright, zesty kick, while the real fruit pieces gave each sip a burst of natural flavor. The size was generous as always with the Route 44, making it both a great value and a satisfying thirst-quencher. Overall, these drinks delivered on taste, temperature, and refreshment.“

“So, this has nothing to do with food. Last night, I was doordashing and had a car issue. Idle pulley bolt broke and is partially stuck, part fell off, couldn't drive. Chrissy, Deja, and Liam all came out to help me, and straight up didn't even have to do that. I was having a really low night, and this was the cherry on top, man. They let me keep my car parked there, Chrissy lmk her dad is a tow truck driver, Deja called someone and helped diagnose the part, and Liam checked the bolt. I came back this morning with my brother and I updated Ally on everything. She even reiterated they wouldn't have it towed away if I needed more time. We had already called a tow truck to get back to my side of town, so she got us some waters while we waited since they don't have a lobby. I stg I can't say thank y'all enough, man. It's rare finding good people, and for everybody to stop and help me, a stranger, meant the world. Bless ALL FOUR of y'all, man, thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“I did a mobile order today, got a cheeseburger and the pickle seasoned tots. The order was made on time (I had scheduled it because I was driving from kind of far off) and the man who brought it out was very polite
I had put in a request for extra pickles and they really hooked me up, food was good, great service“

“TJ's a great employee, everytime i go here ,which is alot, between doordash and my own meals, he's consitantly providing great customer service, and sonics' should consider themselves lucky and cut this man a bonus based off the profits earn quarterly.“

“Had a previous review that was not supposed to be for Sonic, but the Wendy's nearby this location. The service here was quick for late night on a weekday and the staff are friendly which counts for a lot these days. My only caveat was that the double sonic burger I ordered while edible was obviously quickly thrown together with older vegetables. This is a reliable location that I'll continue to frequent as I work nearby. "Thank You" to the Sonic staff who work a lot harder than their nearby competitors!“
