Sonic Drive-In in Columbia

“DON'T GO HERE unless you are starving. Also i have them TWO STARS but everytime i post it automatically gives 5 stars. Food was hot so they get two stars but the quality was trash. Not sure what kind of meat are the chicken tenders as they are always shribbled up in a ball like form. No more southwest sauce for the onion rings, no suggestions when I said I wanted a good mix flavor with sprite on top. There was only me and 1 other car and I was instructed to pull up. I was so hungry from running errands I forgot how bad this location Food is. I gave my tenders to our dog who have it 5 stars of course.“

“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.“

“For those that take orders for drive thru really need to be patient, take time to listen to the customer when placing orders and not be in such a rush and or snappy when the customer wants to make sure the order is correct before paying for “

“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“

“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.“

“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!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“CHRIS AT THE WINDOW------ 1st ray of sunshine, he had some trouble hearing us so he came outside. From the window. He could have asked us to come inside or pull through but he didn't. 2nd nugget of awesomeness- he made me a special order "patty melt" (y'all need to bring it back) and when I thanked him he stated " no thanks needed, thats my job" In a world full of mediocracy we need more CHRIS. Be a Chris Thanks for the great customer service. It was a pleasure Amy“

“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!“
