Ok now I’m P’d off as all get out - I move here, go to this location 2 weeks ago , there was an older( well not old , but older than the rest of the people working ) lady working all short with people complaining there was only 2 working. - ok we can work with that; but why you need to yell at the customers ? I waited almost 25 minutes for our meal - I paid $13 for a darn chicken strip meal that was so hard & over cooked it was inedible / I brought it back & she hands me a card for a darn free breakfast burrito , reg burger or a slushy? Not quite the replacement for a $13 meal ! Tonight we went through again , Damien super polite , super helpful & they were closing - MY meal ? MISSING FROM THE DARN BAG I ordered a popcorn chicken meal for my husband , was told it would be 6 min bc they need to drop it fresh , ok I can wait for fresh 🤷‍♀️- he ended up with a chicken sandwich , with bacon , lettuce mayo o NEVER will he eat that ⁉️ WTAH is going on there ⁉️ This is ridiculous & of course they are closed so WE don’t get to eat tonight - I am livid & I will return to get my darn money back - I truly thought it was just the shot staffed day after the polite Damien, however I was too quick to judge apparently- I plan to contact corporate , no idea of this is a franchise or not , but I can assure you , Sonic does not want their customers treated like this - however , whomever is responsible for customer service has the op to make this right , I will wait 2 days, starting ….. NOW ! Let’s see if you do care ………..⏳⏳⏳⏳ reviews can always be edited & I have & will once it’s corrected - it would be great if I could return as my family...

Been going here for several years, pretty much always good service and food. I have no clue on earth as to what happened last night! First off, waited 35 minutes at the drive-thru. Secondly, tried to add a drink at the window (for purchase) and was told in somewhat of a rude way "we aren't adding anything at the window." I then suggested maybe just a medium drink for my wait and was told "I can't do anything for you!" At this point I was taken back. I've never been told that before from any restaurant. Waited several more minutes. The more I thought about that content, and the longer I waited, the more irritated I got. When the food was brought to the window, someone who appeared to be a manager was standing there. I proceeded to ask him if he could help me.. same questions. He had absolutely no problem whatsoever helping me out. He seemed confused as to why I was told what I was told. He was great! I got a large drink for my 40 minute wait. Felt better about the situation,was going to let it go. Got home, the milkshake I ordered was completely melted. It's only a five minute drive home. Got a sundae too, that was perfectly fine. I very reluctantly went back to get a replacement shake, took another fifteen minutes. So, spent nearly an hr at the drive-thru. Brought the new shake home (the shake was for my wife), wife took two bites and on the second bite, tasted the worst sour/dirty water type taste! She nearly threw-up! I smelled it.. smelled a bad as she said it tasted! I have no clue as to what they did etc. but it was by far one of the worst restaurant experiences ever!! Will...

We've visited this Sonic a few times. It's always been okay for the most part. I mean I haven't been disappointed or extremely happy to make me write about them. However, on this visit that has changed drastically. The order process for the most part was good until the end. My husband and I from the east coast so yeah, we have an accent. My husband's accent is strong and some things aren't said the same but I don't think it's that hard to understand what he was saying. Anyway, we got that settled, all good, right?... No! After that my husband hits the cash button. Now, any time we have gone to any Sonic they take the money and give the food at the same time. It's a switch transaction. Need I also add our total has always been big, we are a family of five. So, this time the total was $48 not too bad. Anyways, someone from the inside comes out and tells us, they have to collect the money before they can bring out our food. The only explanation that is given. Wow, really?! Okay, my husband just gives the lady the money, and she gives the change no questions asked. However, he looks at me afterward and said ”that’s new”. It is and I’m disappointed. Never have we had to do this at any other Sonic. Never going to any restaurant fast food or nice sit down one, have we ever had to pay first, unless buffet style. I WILL NOT be returning this one here again. On another note, the food was...

Service was okay, the person taking our order seemed a little impatient or annoyed with us, not sure if this was because of the speaker being a little static filled and they couldn't hear us well but they didn't seem very pleasant. Our car hopper that delivered the food seemed a little standoffish but wasn't downright awful. The Sonic looks a little run down outside, we weren't sure if it was open or not when we got there because it looked closed down. Limited ordering stalls, there were 4 and the rest were mobile pickups and park and eat stalls, the normal drive through is open though. The food itself was good. Tasted like every other Sonic I've been to, though my burger was lukewarm and not hot. We ate there in the lot so it's not like we drove home and it was cold or anything. We ordered 2 burgers with large drinks and sides, a kids meal, and a large order of mozzarella sticks with the total coming to $38, overall not a bad price for the amount of food, especially around this area. My husband and daughter said their food was hot and delicious. We would eat here again.

The app and Order ahead feature lie! The frequently asked questions says why can't I order after 11 when my drive-thru is still open and it very specifically says if the Stalls are still open then the app is still open but not only is that not true they also won't honor their half-price drink with the app between 11 and midnight even at 11:03 when you've already placed your order and said that you were there even though your phone is that was not true because you are half a block away. Corporate does not think it is reasonable for them to honor the half-price drink since the app says you should be able to use the app since the Stalls are open until midnight! So they are also just fine with the app lying to you and they don't require their stores that participate with the app to do what the app says they will do or that they do which is obviously false advertising and illegal and poor customer service! It is also apparently difficult to put the cheese for the pretzel in the bag so even when they say and here is the bag with the cheese don't believe them!

Sonic used to be good :( we ordered four ice creams tonight and after 30 minutes we received three of them. When I mentioned to the gal that brought out our order that we were missing one she said we didn’t order four and refused to provide me with our receipt. Fine - I’ll pay for one more - the gal said that she would put in an order for us for the fourth blast. Another 30 minutes passes and I pushed the red button - I was informed that the gal that was helping us had gone home for the night. Ok so now I’m getting mad but the other lady said she would bring out my other blast that was missing from the first time they brought the other three. Here I am an hour and a half into my wait at sonic - all of the ice cream is melted as I was bringing this home to my family and the only thing they tel me is that I have to get in line at the drive through. So $15 I’m out and I’m going to Safeway to get ice cream and toppings - really upset.
