- CLChris LDec 22, 20252.0This Sonic used to be a go‑to brand for us, but the Waldorf location has consistently been a disappointment over the last three years. The food is okay – not the best Sonic, but not the worst – but this store completely fails to deliver the classic Sonic drive‑in experience, and it’s brought our overall opinion of the brand down. It’s also important to note that this location operates only as a drive‑through now. There are no carhops, the traditional drive‑in stalls are closed, and there’s no walk‑up option, indoor ordering, or usable patio seating, so all of the things that make Sonic feel unique are basically gone. On top of that, our most recent mobile order took about 15 minutes longer than the time listed in the app, which completely defeats the purpose of ordering ahead and just adds to the frustration with this store.
- JSJesse StoryDec 12, 20251.0This restaurant is one of the worst Sonic Drive thru is have been too. The food is always subpar, I ordered a Coke + Cherry and they gave me a cherry flavored soda water, Sonic is supposed to be known for its speedy service and car hops, yet they refuse to do car hop service and it can take 15+ mins to get your food. Won't be going back.
- KBKerry BurksDec 9, 20253.0Place order ,the onion rings were missing, the fries were hard and reheated without any salt
- JRJOSE ANTONIO RickettsNov 25, 20251.0When for lunch , they took my order , never came , they came though 3 times with different orders . Unbelievable.
- NNNonameNov 17, 20253.0Nothing wrong with the food, but I still remember the day when this area got its very first Sonic after many years of advertisements on television with no Sonic restaurant nearby in sight of the Waldorf area. The very first day this location opened it brought a lot of traffic and chaos on the road. Whoever thought of this idea really should not have built this restaurant so close to a major highway like Route 301, it made the traffic so much worse after they finished building it years ago. I never forgot that day, I hate that memory...
