    Had a very long wait at the window. I opened my Chilli fries and it was the smallest order I'd seen. Pulled into one of the spots and asked for someone to come out and ck the order. He apologized and said he make the order to the correct portion size. When I got it back it was sSO salty. I could not eat it. I was throwing it out. My husband took it and asked for his money back. Wanted a receipt the girl had our receipt and card but only gave the card back. Apparently he called the owner. He gave the go ahead to refund money. The order was 13.09 we showed him the charge. We waited approx 30 mins with my husband also going back up to the area of there building. We left. Wasted so much time there. We are traveling thru the area. We will never go back to a Sonic again. I'm done with them. I have a pic of the Chilli fries, I will try to post it. All I had was med coke hamburger and small Chilli fries.

    Stopped here on the way back from paddling the Gasconade and stopping in Uranus, because what says "summer" better than a cherry limeade? The limeade was great! Thank goodness I asked for light ice though, because by the time I got back to Saint Louis, my cup, now empty of that sweet summer nectar was still about ⅓ full of ice. Aside from that, I also ordered onion rings, which were served popping hot and delicious, right out of the fryer. A perfect end to a magnificent day! Thank you.

    Drove up late, a little before closing. Online app wasn't working, neither were the bays. We had a trailer on and couldn't get through the drive thru. Gentleman working came out and talked to us and let us get food. Super great service, very accommodating. This is how a business should be ran. The guy working is what makes a business run smoothly and it makes me want to do business there more often when we go through Cuba.

    I ordered the Footlong Quarter Pound Coney with a rt 44 and lg chili cheese tots. $13 the food was good. My order was taken in seconds after hitting the red button, and once the order was placed, It came out in an extremely respectful time by a great carhop.

    We placed an order and asked for one of the burgers to be made special which they did put it in the computer so that means the person in the kitchen making the orders don't know how to properly do his or her job.. they made not only one but 2 terrible meals.
