I've been waiting in the drive through after ordering for over 30 minutes. We haven't moved. By far the absolute worst fast food experience I've ever had in my entire life. I haven't seen a single bag of food. Update - nearly an hour in the drive through before we had our food. Not a single apology or acknowledgement from the staff about the wait. Had plenty of time to watch the staff and things looked chaotic, but also lacking urgency at the same time. We will think twice before trying this location again.

90% of the time it’s perfect. The food is always good. Don’t get me wrong, but sometimes they mistake portion size and give you the wrong ones ..it’s not the end of the world. Other than that, it’s a good place for kids a fast meal that isn’t super greasy. They have really good shakes and other things also. And I will say the kids that work there do a pretty good job, especially in today’s world.

Stopped for food somewhere else but we made a special trip over to Sonic just for the Grillo's Pickles seasoned tots that we had enjoyed before. After 9 dollars for two large orders of tater tots to go along with our meal, we got home and found just about zero seasoning anywhere to be seen and definitely could not taste it either. Weird that a few sprinkles of seasoning on a limited promotional item was too much to do, and these tots were the only thing we ordered. Saw a few specks of pickle seasoning on the cardboard so it's not that they entirely forgot to do it or mistakenly gave us plain ones. Sonic is further away from us than other convenient places and we had actually only started going here while this pickle menu stuff was going on and after two or three visits we probably won't ke

I’m gonna start off by mentioning I never leave reviews, considering whenever there is a an issue I try my best to resolve it internally. July 27th 10:25pm for any crew members or managers reading this. I stopped by to get me and my girlfriend a very late dinner and the young lady in the drive thru was entirely rude the entire order, up to payment and receiving my food. I get back home and open my sandwich and what do you know, I find a mayo sandwich. How does that even happen?? I call to see what options I have after driving 15 minutes there and back home she answers knowing exactly what happened and I ask so what do we do? She said I don’t know maybe explain when ever you come back and get a free burger then hung up!! We come back and she was insanely rude the entire interaction onc
