Don’t bother going for a slush 90% of the time the machine is broke. Any ice cream after 9?? Nope the machine seems to always be down at that time ... funny it works the next day though ... seems like closer it gets to close the more of their stuff isn’t available

In response to the “owner” I used to be a daily customer. Now I come once a month maybe. This place used to have great service but the last two months it’s gone down hill. I never know if it’s worth my trip to to stop. Just now I went and stood outside to order for over 15 minutes while two employees and a manager (guy in blue shirt) stood outside talking. They went back in and I am still standing outside with no service. I had to get in my car to go through the drive through in order to get service. I come through town between 9:30 and 10 every night. Sometimes it’s open at 9:45 most of the time it’s closed even though it’s hours are until 10. If you come at 9:50 more than likely it’s closed and don’t ask for a slush or ice cream. It’s like they have already cleaned the stuff for the night and they don’t want to be bothered with it again. Like I said I was there daily .... btw I’m still waiting for service. It makes 30 min now...

Went here on a Saturday night after an event at the speedway. Town was busy, Sonic was busy. Not horrible when we pulled in. We got there about 11:30pm. Pulled into the LIT UP digital order kiosk. Press the order button. 10 minutes go by and nothing. Start asking people around us if their orders had been taken. They all started saying no. So myself and at least 2 others left those spots and go into the drive thru long. BEFORE 12am when they close. We wait 10-15 minutes in the drive thru to have an employee come out and yell from the door that they close at 12 and we probably wouldn't be severed. I asked why being we were in line PRIOR to closing and that had we not sat in the other option for 10 minutes without being waited we'd have been thru. She shrugged her shoulders and didn't care. Simply said she was short staffed. While that sucks and makes for a long shift that's not on me. Brianna was her name and she claimed to be a manager. She handled things horrible. We left and went down to Rallys in Clio who was also supposed to close at 12 but because there were people in the drive thru they finished it out until everyone was served. The way...

We pulled up to the drive-in speaker and they told us they have no carhops and to use the driver thru. There were a few staff who got out of a car after we sat in the drive thru a few minutes, so I don't know if they were supposed to be the waitstaff or if they just don't deliver to vehicles after dark. The parking lot lights were all very dim, and we didn't know if they were even open, so I wouldn't blame staff for not wanting to go out after dark. Food was just okay. They forgot one sandwich we ordered, which wasn't a big deal, just got out and went up to the door. When I explained we were missing a sandwich, they got it and said, here ya go... no sorry about that or have a good night. We ate dinner and decided to go back through for dessert. The staff at the window was just plain short and rude. Anytime I said thank you, like when she handed my card back or handed me the ice cream, there was either no response or just a yep. Not impressed with the food or the service, especially when we drove about 30 miles just...

I had the chili cheese dog and it was good. It came with tater tots of which there was no ketchup. The tater tots were good/okay but not having ketchup was a big disappointment. I don't understand why such a restaurant which advertises so much expressing such great food doesn't list customer service high on the priorities. This Sonic location is drive-thru only. I would think if customer service were high on the list you would ask customers if they would like ketchup. That just doesn't seem to happen nowadays. I do not understand why? My wife had the kids meal with two chicken tenders. She ate the tenders but not many of the fries that came with him. Overall I've never had and experience at a Sonic location that was great. I don't get why this seems like it wants to be a great restaurant but yet ultimately continuously under delivers.

Don't expect to order on the app and pull into a numbered spot and have food brought out to you. Nowhere does it state this location is drive thru only. Even watched many people drive up to the car hop ordering spaces and leave to get into the drive thru. Why have spots numbered or ordering boards on when you don't use them? Also food isn't bad just not great, ordered a pickle slush their featured menu item. Expected to get what it had like the pickle juice balls but unfortunately they either didnt care to add them or was out. Regardless was main reason I ordered from here was for the pickle items. Big waste of time, money and energy. Beware of this location. It has gone down hill and I won't be shocked if its closed down permanently soon.

i know lots of places are short staffed, but quick service was not our problem. we got served immediately and got our food soon after however, we ordered one double bacon cheeseburger ketchup ONLY, and another one with no tomato or onion. (which was said on the screen so it’s not like they didn’t hear us). we received 2 bacon burgers with everything on both. one burger only had 1 piece of bacon on it. (picture is after picking off the tomato and onion). we also ordered a 3 piece chicken strip dinner and the onion ring was very chewy and not cooked, plus the bread was burnt. i recommend taking your business elsewhere.
