The cashier, Amanda H. was so very kind and was literally went above and beyond for the customers in the restaurant. I sat back and watched how she interacted with the guests and I was very impressed with her hospitality and professionalism. At one point she even came to my table and offered my daughter a cute little new years hat and my daughter was so excited over it!!! I cannot tell you how much it meant to us to be treated so very kind. God bless you Amanda. As far as the food, it was pretty bad. The soda was moldy tasting and I'm sure it hasn't been cleaned properly in a very long time. I've been in the restaurant business for many years and know that moldy taste, unfortunately. The chicken bites were so hard my daughter couldn't bite into them so we threw them away. Her burger was great she said and my chili dog tasted amazing 🤩 Other than that it was nice. I didn't ask for a refund or complain about the food because of how kind Amanda was. If the service had been terrible then I would have definitely asked for a refund no doubt. We dined inside and I'm glad for that. During our meal a customer came in from the drive in and claimed he had been waiting a very long time for his food and inquired on what was going on. The employees couldn't find his order and Amanda made things right, retook his order and remade his food. Amanda was very apologetic and made sure he was taken care of. I probably won't be back though because in my opinion the food is too expensive for the quality you receive. Keep up the awesome hospitality and customer...

Do not waste your time coming here late at night. You will not get service go somewhere else. You will waste your time waiting in line and will not get any food... Complete waste of time.....While waiting in line for over 50 minutes.. more than 30 of which we were at the speaker saying hello several times we did not get any service. We did not get a hello. We did not get a hold on just a second....We did not get a we did not get anything not a noise out of the speaker....and we arrived an hour before closing time. When we went to the window because it was about closing time by this time after waiting, almost almost an hour in line at the speaker... We were told they are closed. We were also told another excuse... And that They cannot take any more orders and they are closed... I asked why they didn't announce that on the speaker when we were saying hello. Hello several times they claimed they did. However, they did not, and if they did. There was a person in front of us who seemed to get their order And we pulled up right behind them on the speaker and didn't hear anything from the speaker at all. Literally nothing, so there was no warning or notification that they were closed even though they lied and said that they said it several times... And again we were waiting at the speaker Over half an hour before it was closed. This is very unprofessional... Sonic was rude about it on top of that... Don't waste your time coming here late at night. You will wait in line and not even get service. Go...

The night crew at this Sonic has the worst customer service. I usually go during the day but on occasion go at night on the weekend. I get the same thing a Reese cup blast with extra Reese cup. Only on the night crew do I encounter a problem as there is no extra Reese in the cup when I have paid for it. Tonight took the cake. My husband went this time and we he got home there were no extra Reese. I refused to go to the store to buy Reese when he already paid for extra. The young man who took his order informed cooperate is cracking down on how much extra they use. I asked did anyone tell my husband that when he asked for extra and how is it an issue when we paid for it. He proceeded to get a manager who then said the same thing and once again I explained as the customer how are we to know and issue or new rules if it isn't posted. She said that extra was one scoop. I showed her my cup which clearly did not have any extra to ask did this look like extra to her. She smirked and said yes it's just chopped up. She offered no resolution or middle ground to fix the problem other than to tell me she could charge me for another scoop. Needless to say I declined and will definitely not be returning to this Sonic again. The day shift has always been amazing and helpful. However the female manager I encountered this evening at 12:20am on 9/13/2024 requires some additional training for...

Tried this place twice. Both times the double cheeseburger was atrocious. The bun was old and had the thin outer layer flaking off, the burger patties were unrecognizable as beef. They seemed dry and overcooked. There was literally holes in the patty. The condiments were a pitiful little dot in the middle of the thing they claim was a double cheeseburger. There were two little pickle slices as well. They were stacked on top of each other right in the middle as well. Both times, I took two bites and threw the rest away and then was plagued with heartburn. This is not a good place, not recommended. When you pull into the drive thru, the second lane has a clearance bar. It is falling down and is hanging almost sideways, lower than the 9 foot clearance it claims. This is the first sign that this location is not managed well...then you start to see the rest of the problems...don't waste your time or money. Update: been over a month and clearance sign just deteriorating, see photos

This place is in rough shape visually. The wait was a bit long, but it was 5pm - I get it. However when we finally got everything slung wildly into our bag and got home, everything was just bla. The tots tastes hours old, the chicken was room temp, and the fries hard. Id comment on the onion rings, but they forgot them and it's really not worth the drive and wait. I will go to Culver's next time, I suggest you do the same. They out class this place in every field and the prices are similar. Peep these 'Large' portions in my picture lol. Yikes.

Not much to recommend it. Not bad taste or texture. Just lacking something in both that makes it so I didn't get enjoyment from eating the food. It was that way for the milkshake, fries, and hot dog. The milkshake for example was too thick so I could not drink it through the straw. A shake should be thick, but not that thick. Almost like it was as if some alien or intelligent robot tried to recreate human food. It gets most things right but something is lacking.
