Disappointed. I ordered the boneless chicken wings and got less than I anticipated. Not in quantity, but in quality. They had been sitting around so long they tasted spoiled AND were around so long most of the sauce had baked off, evaporated or something like that. AND they were lukewarm which likely contributed to the off-putting flavor I experienced. In addition to that, the tator tots were crispy all the way through (you know, wuere you suspect it's been refried so many times it's like the outside on the inside, crispy, if that makes sense?). The ocean water was good. I ordered $20 of food when i could have cancelled and got two meals for $14 less (yay for using the app) also. It like I got a three punch combo of not awesome because I hadn't eaten since 10am (went to Sonic about 30-40 minutes ago) and now I can't eat this food. Kids gone to bed so I can't go back right now. Maybe I'll start going to the one on Austin hwy, I heard I can order ahead there anyway. Ramblings aside I haven't been to this Sonic in a while and last time it was good, but this time it wasn't so now I dont trust it anymore. Even looking at the picture you can see the sauce is orange, why are the wings not orange. Like how did that even happen? How did the wings get dried up? Did someone resauce them and then the redried? It's defying physics. Threw a little sauce on them to make em seem fresh but the rouse wore off by the time I went to eat them?

Its an okay experience at this location. 6 months ago i didn't have any issues. I don't know what changed exactly. But ive always used the app to order ahead. The last maybe 5 times I've tried to eat here has had pretty serious issues. There was i time i literally waited 30 minutes for 2 shakes even after ordering in advance. I wouldn't have waited except i was charged and trying to get a shake to a friend. I notified them 3 different times i was waiting for them and each time they said we'll bring them right out before finally saying they pretty melted and eventually made new ones. Tonight i ordered a footlong cony a drink for myself and a grilled cheese for my roommate. 10 minutes after the screen said someone was bringing the food, nothing. I informed them i was still there and waiting and the said the kitchen was still coming it. By the time the food came out 8 minutes later it was almost cold and stale. Telling me it was not being cooked but sitting on a rack. Either way it's not horrible but not great as well. They will need to work on efficiency.

I pulled thru drive thru not the car hop, I tried to order small cup of ice and regular plain hot dog. I was interrupted by two ladies on intercom with “bag of ice and footlong?” Another said “is this regular or foot long?” I calmly replied “I’d like a regular plain hot dog and CUP of ice.” To which I felt rushed when one young lady said “ okay $4. And change pull up please” then I’m shocked at the price. Pull up, she doesn’t repeat order just ask for money, I ask her for what ? Plain hot dog and cup of ice then she gasped and shut window. Yells at workers and then another girl asked me for $2.70 I gave it to her then asked for ketchup, mustard and relish. I was given my stuff and window shut. Took them a total of 10/15 minutes for two small plain items and they were rude and unprofessional. Why all the condiments for one hot dog? A waste of sauces and money. Why the rushing and not placing attention to customers order? I will avoid coming to this Sonic!

I’ve loved Sonic my whole life, it’s always been my favorite fast food place, but every time I visit this location it’s a nightmare and it’s sucks because it’s the only one near my house, but I’m going to just have to suffer the longer drive to avoid this horrible location. This is the third time I show up where they are busy and just stop answering their drive thru all together. I waited 15 minutes and went to 3 different stations before I got a response. On top of that when they finally answer they treat the customer like they are are annoyance. Every word that drags out of the employees mouth of the speaker screams “I don’t want to be here.” It is made worse that half of their stations are out of order, leaving us customers to fight for the other half. They don’t even mark them as out of order so their parking lot ends up looking like a car based game of music chairs. Sonic is great but this location is the worst one I’ve ever been to, perhaps the worst Sonic period. The manager really should be repremanded for allowing this whole store to run at minimum functionality for so long. It’s not that hard to reach out to corporate and let them know things are broken and you need assistance. Take a management course or something, these are day one problems every new manager learns how to...

I don't have high standards for fast food. However, I will now drive an extra 10 minutes out of my way to avoid this location. The staff is AWFUL, I always place mobile orders usually containing one single item such as a drink and I arrive 5 minutes after the recommended arrival time yet I always find myself waiting 10-15minutes after checking in, pushing the button to let them know I'm still waiting and they end the call and don't say a word, after 5 min they come out basically throw the drink at me and walk away with attitude. Look, I get it. It's fast food, I don't expect good service, but I do expect to be treated like a human being.

The location is also falling apart, drive through has been out of order for years, and half the screens are broken. It's a very run-down location.

Sonic corporate needs to visit this location. It's definitely not doing good things for the brand, and I've visited hundreds of locations across the USA. This one is very very poor, the reason for the review is only because now the staff has just been so AWFUL it's...
