One of the worst Sonic experiences I’ve had. We waited over 20 minutes in the drive-thru, and when we finally got our food, it didn’t even resemble typical Sonic quality. The chicken strips were overcooked and didn’t look like they came from Sonic at all. The fries and tots were also overdone and unappetizing. My kids and I ended up throwing everything away—it just didn’t look safe or appealing to eat. It seemed like only one person was working, and while I sympathize with that, this location clearly needs more support. Unfortunately, we won’t be coming back.

Placed a mobile order. When I pulled up and checked in they came to my car to ask what I had & I told them. They told me they didn’t have ice cream so they couldn’t make my shakes, I asked for a refund and they told me there was no manager on duty and they couldn’t do it… once I got home EVERYTHING was burnt and inedible. Customer Service number was no help in getting a refund either. So I guess I will have to waste more of my time coming back over here to get my money back. Unacceptable, I won’t be a customer at this location again.

After placing a mobile order and checking in at a stall, they said over the speaker the stalls were closed and I needed to go to the patio or drive thru. The entire reason I used the mobile app was because the line was wrapped around the building. I understand being short staffed, but there was still some one there to serve. Then when I got my Blast the cup wasn't even full. It was at least an inch from the top of the cup. When I told the server her response was "oh I didn't make it." POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I have waited a week for a manager to call and as I said in my message....I would start posting reviews if I did not get a call.

My daughter frequents the store in the evening and places an order via mobile app several times a week since she has a 30 minute meal break at a nearby business. She placed the order and 20 minutes later the 3 drinks were not brought out to stall 11, but 2 cars had gone through the drive thru so she called me and I rushed to the store since she had to go back to work. She went to the drive thru while I pulled into stall 11 in her place. We saw the employee that was wearing a blue shirt and pregnant have the 3 drinks in her hand 2 different times and started toward the door, but never left the store in our direction. As she pulled into the drive thru the blue shirted pregnant employee came out so I pointed at the drive thru and told her that I switched because the order taking so long. My daughter asked the employee why the order took 20 minutes and the answer was that she was training 2 people.

My daughter then said that she had seen 2 people go through the drive thru while waiting and turned to go back to her car. The blue shirted lady used a mean tone as she turned back to the store saying Have a nice day (the tone and words DIDNOT match) As my daughter was getting in her car a short heavy set black woman came out of the door and said, "I've got her tag number." My daughter asked me what she said so I repeated it and we both laughed. Her tag number REALLY? My daughter did NOTHING wrong and the order was on the APP....they have more than her tag number on the order. The employees were still in the store and responded with forced mimicking laughter. Hopefully they do not reflect the behavior you actually expect from employees. Absolutely deplorable. The drinks were flat/watered down so we wound up throwing them away. Just proves even more that they were sitting on the counter without being delivered to stall 11.

I called the customer service number as instructed below and have still heard NOTHING from the...

I waited 30 minutes for 3 milkshakes, and all I got were crying, disappointed kids. I placed an order in the app and pulled up to a stall to check in. The screen was off, so I pushed the red button to ask what stall number I should check in with. Before I even got to ask, the worker told me they weren’t taking any stall orders and to please get in the drive thru. There was one person in front of me in the drive thru, so that was already taking quite a while to wait. When I got to the order window, the worker asked me to please hold and didn’t respond to me stating I had already placed an order in the app. Then they came back to tell me their system wouldn’t pull up and that I needed to place the order through the app, which I had already done. I decided to just pull around to the pickup window. The car in front of me was still waiting on their food. When I finally pull up to the window, I tell the worker that I ordered in app and my name. They close the window, look at their computer, look at a receipt, talk to another worker, look at the receipt again, and come back to ask me if it was a door dash order or if I placed it myself. I now wonder if it would have made a difference if I had said door dash because when I told them it was my order, they said they had no ice cream and would refund me. If they had only told me this when I first tried to pick up my order or even through the app, I wouldn’t have been so upset. I see no reason to...
