    I ordered on the APP easy, easy to do. However waiting 20 minutes for 2 sonic blast not GOOD! At the moment while at stall #8 not many customers were even there so I can't say they were BUSY! If I didn't pay on the APP I would've drove off! Please do better SONIC.

    I only gave 1 stat so I could give this review. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a sonic. I ordered the brown bag special, 1 onion ring and 1 small slush. We waited for them to cook the onion rings. As I pull off I notice that the tater tots were cold. So I went back into the line to get fresh tots. Then I get to my destination and open my burgers only to be greeted by nasty brown lettuce. Fresh ingredients is also apart of customer service. So horrible customer service for this location. I’ll just stick with the onion rings and slush from now on. I guess that’s there specialty.

    I am not one to complain about much, but when when someone orders a $5 blizzard and the staff only adds a few crumbs to the top and doesnt not even take the time to mix it that is just beyond lazy. Only about 5% of the blizzard had flavor other than the soft serve. There seems to be many bad reviews here with the staff. Used to really enjoy coming to this location for all their drinks, shakes, and ice creams. Guess I am just going to have to scratch this place off my go to place.

    This place has gone so downhill, Management is horrible, employees don't seem up for the job and their screens and mics are so outdated. Not to mention this is how my chili cheese fries came right out of the bag, $3.19 for this ? Really ? It's not even half full. It's just bad man i also got a chili cheese hotdog and there's hardly any cheese on it at all. How can anyone proudly serve this ? I know I'd be panicking as an employee there. Every time I've gone here there's something wrong with my order without fail.

    This place is so bad. Nobody can take a order correct. They can't give you change correct. We have been here waiting almost a whole hour. Our food will be cold . Not coming back.

    Waited a half hour for them to say their machine is down. Also when they run out of onions they think they can just make up for it with relish on a hotdog. Relish is not onions. Half the time I come here I end up super disappointed

    Worst experience, I was there for 30 to 45 minutes $65 order they messed up up twice and at the I was still missing a large fry and medium drink. After I repeated the at the speaker 3 times. The repeated the order 2 times. We drive up she repeats it 2 more times, I repeated it 2 times and we still get it all wrong. Ridiculous, slow and a rude manager. To top it off last week the charged me extra for other 4 shakes I didn't order. Please don't go to this location unless you want your order messed up.

    They were selling strawberry cheesecake slushies. And they were excellent. So they quit making them and after the girl to;d me they no longer have these she asked me to hold on and never came back,

    Danielle was fast, friendly and overall great. She brought my drink out while my food was cooking, never had that happen at a sonic before.

    Drove up and ordered without issue, our food came in a timely manner and we got everything we ordered, and it was overall great.

    Disgusting. Had to smoke just to swallow this terrible food. Worst Sonic I've ever been to. We threw away most of the food after a few bites.
