I had a perfect experience at this Sonic tonight. My daughter and I came to pick up dinner. We parked in stall 6 and took about 5 minutes to review the menu. I pushed the button and immediately had our order taken by Caden. He was polite, articulate, helpful, and knowledgeable. While ordering, I asked for no lettuce on my burger and he explained that lettuce does not come on the burger. He then told me what did come on it. I really appreciated this extra customer service because I didn’t realize onions come on it and I really do not like onions! I proceeded to order my burger with no onions as well as the rest of my food. We ordered 3 burgers, which all had modifications, 2 sides, and 2 drinks. Avery brought our food out fairly quickly. I didn’t time our wait but it was 5 minutes or less. I was afraid we would be getting old, cold food since our food came quickly. As Avery was handing me the food, I could feel it was fresh because it was hot. All of our food and drinks were well packed and there were no concerns, like sticky cups or drink lids not on all the way. Avery was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We had everything we had ordered and headed home to eat. We live close by and were home about 2 minutes later. We immediately sat down to eat and all of our food was made correctly, as ordered, and fresh. I honestly cannot think of anything that could have been done differently or better. Thank you Sonic for cooking our dinner tonight! Everything was great!

I don't go to Sonic very much but when I do, I'm reminded ALL over again why I DON'T COME HERE! Waiting for for 20 minutes for "fast food" is not okay! We only ordered THREE things and it took F-O-R-E-V-E-Rand they didn't even get the order right! My son ordered a strawberry shake. I ordered a corner dog and a mini strawberry CHEESECAKE shake. AFTER 20 MINS IF WAITING, ONLY my sons strawberry shake came out and my corner dog. Ashlynn, who kept apologizing informed me, she was STILL waiting on my mini strawberry CHEESECAKE! I was about to just drive off (because we had to be somewhere else) when it FINALLY came BUT it WASN'T a STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE! And the shake containers were ALL STICKY! It was another strawberry shake (mini)! 🤦‍♀️ In addition to all of this, the employees headsets weren't working and nobody could hear us! There was confusion from the staff, if I had paid, which I DID but the terminal thing wasn't reading my card. 🤦‍♀️ It FINALLY went through but nobody believed me! This is why I DON'T cone here!

I like Sonic's diet cherry limeade, but this location is unreliable. Most of the time they don't put a cherry in it. Sometimes I don't even get limes. A couple of times, they must have used lime juice and way too much of it because it was super tart. Unfortunately, they are my closest Sonic so I still go there, but I will often go out of my way to get to a different location. Update, I went to this location again. I've never gotten a burrito that was this small, except maybe their Jr burrito on a bad day. This was supposed to be an ultimate meat and cheese burrito. It was pathetic. That was made more obvious because while I was getting this for my one son, my husband got the same thing for our other son stopping at a different location on their way home. It was normal size - nearly twice the size of the one this location provided.

I had appointment at hospital the other day and had mom with me for her errands as well. We decided to stop and get something to drink here. We don't live in town. The cashier at the window said my debit card wasn't working (mind you it worked everywhere else) and I wasn't provided a failed attempt receipt. But knowing these things happen I offered another card and it went through fine after waiting ten minutes. Today I was balancing my accounts and saw the original debit card transaction went through as well as my secondary credit card. I called the number on the receipt and talked to someone supposedly named Eric whom was also supposed to be the manager. He said to come on by for the refund and he'd take care of me no problem. I asked how long he'd be in today and he said all day up to 9pm. I explained I didn't have a specific time to drop by since we aren't in town but I'd be by later today. No problem he said. So I wrote his name down on the receipt I did have. I stopped by a few minutes ago and got the same cashier from the other day named Emmanuel. He argued with me, basically said it's only one ticket and he can't refund me. Then the argument started about if it took place or not and I pulled up my bank account on the phone and the secondary card account on the phone, showed both of them to him and he said well I'm refunding just to keep you as a customer but you can pay me back if it doesn't go through on your bank. I told him, it's not doing me a favor since it did go through on my bank and my other card...it's doing the right thing by a customer and not a favor! He finally have me the cash refund but not after basically telling me to pull out of the drive thru where he was trying to dismiss my claim or the info from the beginning and my refusing to. I'm not gonna go call the manager back cause obviously, that guy didn't inform anyone I said I'd be by and or leave a note. This cashier super ticked me off with his insults because basically I was a liar and trying to get something for free. Well I see it the other way around. Plus tried to tell me Eric doesn't work there but in the next breath...oh he left early. Well, I'd rather drive to East McKinney from now on if we want Sonic for any reason. Never going back to this location. How in the heck if I'm showing you two transactions went through for the same amount and within minutes of each other am I the bad guy here?...

I wanted to order a cream slush but since they didn't have it on the app, I placed a normal slushie order and called in asking if I could swap it to receive a cream slush. The person on the speaker(I assume the manager because there was only one worker in there) never confirmed nor denyed that they heard me ask about the cream slush and came out to confirm the name since I guess she couldn't hear us on the speaker very well. When she came out a couple minutes later with the normal slush, we asked about the cream slush since we had pushed the button to try and change it(again was never confirmed that she ever heard it even though that's what we started asking about as soon as the speaker was answered to which we were asked for the name and then hung up on.) She immediately got defensive and rudely told us that since we didn't order a cream slush that she couldn't give us the cream slush in exchange for the normal one. She said "I've seen others place orders for cream slushes so you should've placed an order for that." And without even giving us time to explain that there wasn't even an option to order a cream slush on the app, she walked off. I understand that she couldn't give us the cream slush in exchange but that was the first thing we asked about when we called in and she never told us she couldn't change it over the speaker, so it's not like we had been pushy about it. Additionally, the tone she used to tell us we couldn't have the cream slush was extremely rude and sounded like she was scolding a kid for doing something they shouldn't have. It seriously irked me considering we had never risen our voices or even gotten the chance to explain anything. Don't go to this sonic if you want good...

TL:DR RUDE, BAD FOOD - AVOID THIS LOCATION What a frustratingly dissapointing location. My family of 5 and I ordered today, and simply asked during the order process for ketchup to be included for my children. Was told it would be. When the order came out 10 minutes later (odd with only 3 cars and no drive thru activity) I asked again to be sure "Hey, is there ketchup in the bag for my children?) Was told that there was. I trusted this to be true, but it was not. I was given a single ketchup packet...for a family of five who all ordered meals. I guess we were expected to split it all between us. Assuming that would be insane, I hit the button, and asked for some ketchup for my children, assuming it was an honest mistake and oversight - It happens. I was told that they would have to charge me for it since I did not order it. I explained that I did order it and was told it was included. I was told I did not order it, and that I would be charged. I said I of course am not paying for ketchup...that would be insane. Was told they were then not going to serve me, and hung up. I attempted to resolve this simple issue of getting ketchup for kids, mind you this is for children... and was promptly ignored as I was ringing in. What an incredibly silly series of actions to take. They've lost hundreds of dollars of business per week from me, and thousands of dollars from everyone I'm going to now tell to avoid this location. What an absolute crap show and a clear way to drive a business...
