garbage disposal doesn't drain properly?

Garbage disposal was working okay when I bought the home but now it seems out of wack. Is there something I can do to get going again... It drains but it goes real slow at time and fast at others.

Update:

the basin was empty and then while cleaning dishes it fills up...

    The disposal grinds up junk, then it drains into the waste pipe, sounds like the waste pipe is clogged with cold grease, etc. try boiling water on the stove and pour down both drains about a gallon for each side.
