Good food just amazingly slow! Prices are a tad bit higher than other places. Last night we went to sonic got an oreo blast. Look at the pictures, we ordered large but the blast did not even come close to the top that clear plastic thing was a waste. Sonic you may not being increasing prices but you are skimping on the servings. Shame on yall. 3/2/23 ordered online easy, picked up order, ordered onion rings, the bag literally had 5 rings and it was a large order and let's call it extra crispy. Again Sonic you disappointed us again. Am lowering my rating. 6/1/23 Ordered on line, gave them 30 minutes to prepare now I know I'm not their only customer but I drive up at my appointed time to wait 15 minutes for girl to come out and tell me they were out again on an item we ordered, asked what I would like to substitute, then had to wait another 15 to 20 minutes for it to be cooked. I want to support our local business but it's getting harder to do.

Terrible. We waited about 25 minutes while all the cars around us left, including the ones after us. Our shakes sat on counter in our sight for over 15 minutes. The screen said our order was being delivered more than ten minutes before it was brought out. When the food came out, the grilled chicken was diced up, with a large discolored blackened hole in the center. The tots were cold. The shakes had melted down. I brought it to a managers attention and her only answer was that they dropped the first chicken and had to cook another and the chicken has been looking like this and she didn't know why. She offered to replace food but after waiting 30 minutes with young children, we weren't waiting longer. I asked for a refund or coupon for replacement as the chicken looked so discolored it didn't seem safe to eat, and all she offered was a 0.99 vanilla cone coupon

RUDE. WRONG PORTIONS. DISCOURTEOUS Manager on Duty absolutely rude. Immediately defensive and argumentative when addressing concern for the food I had issues with. I was literally given a handful of pieces of nothing but breading. Regional Manager notified. Complaint filed. Retraining in customer relations seems necessary.

We were visiting friends last night, in Iowa, and was heading home. We were hungry and wanted Sonic. Reluctantly stopped in the Iowa location. Should've known better. They couldn't hear me, for whatever reason, and kept putting things on the board that I didn't say. Then after the third time trying to correct it, the girl taking my order, was laughing and giggling about something. My wife, my grandchild, and I just wanted a meal. I don't know what the problem is in Iowa. This Sonic is the absolute worst I have ever been to. It's not just Sonic in Iowa it's Iowa period. Service is horrible everywhere. Slow, wrong orders, rude etc. It's poor management and i think it's mainly at night. No adult supervision! No one is held accountable for anything anymore. It pains me to say this about Iowa because I was raised in Iowa my whole life. These people at Sonic are an embarrassment! They don't take pride in their work. I can't believe upper management can't do anything about this location. If you can't go during school hours don't go. That would be my suggestion. Stalls need to be fixed are removed. I know it doesn't matter but I won't stop...

Place an order which included large fries extra extra crispy and noticed the screen did not post the order correctly. I explained that I wanted large extra extra crispy fries again to the manager, who stated, “Yes, I got it”. Food came out. It was a small fry which was I check and showed carhop girl that they soft, limp and small. I made payment with my card for original order, but when I reported the mistake made by the manager. The manger tried to say that we did not order the large fries. I had to remind him that I ordered a large fry extra extra crispy. I don’t mind paying for what I ordered, but that is what I expect to get. I had to dig around and find a $1.32 the manager charged me for his mistake. Than there was no corporate number on building and I didn’t get a receipt. I spent 4 days in Iowa, La., and ate at Sonic two of those days. Both days ordered large fries extra extra crispy and did not get them. I don’t like...
