yo austin my man, i work fast food too bro i get it, it sucks. but one thing i don’t do is hand over sloppy milkshakes with no whipped cream and caramel droppings in it making my vanilla shake taste like a caramel shake now, i don’t even want this no more man. even as i'm typing i realize you didn’t even give me the receipt or put it in the bag? not to mention i was here with my girlfriend a couple days prior and we had asked for groovy sauce and you said you’d be right back with it and come to see that you’re talking with your female co worker in the back parking lot 8 mins later. i honestly never write reviews or try to seem like a karen. but c’mon man at least do the bare minimum dude. like you seriously looked at my wimpy messy milkshake and thought that it was okay to give out. i’ve worked drive thru before man i would never hand something out like that. i should’ve taken a picture first but you can still clearly see these caramel stains or whatever it is. obviously not supposed to be in a vanilla shake.

(New review) Dropped from 5☆ to 2☆ I just wanted to take a moment and thank the lunch crew for my order- #2 double cheeseburger meal. (See attached pic) Ummm, yeah, the cows today must cluck and lay eggs or something... The ticket (shown in the pic) even says chicken sandwich, but the correct drink and tater tots... so, I didn't get someone else's order... if you think, well, it's possible someone else ordered the same drink and tots... the ticket correctly adds the "mustard, mayo, ketchup, and pickles only", as I asked... but, obviously, my "double cheeseburger" is bone dry... NOTHING ON IT but air! So congratulations, you can't count and can't read. Should've just gone to Wendy's across the street, but at least it was hot. ======== [edit]======= (Old review) They get the orders correct and deliver the food to you in a Timely manner. Quality of food is consistent, hot, very tasty.

I had not been in this place for a while and I must say that their service has always been🐝above and beyond. It is fast food although prepared with care. Nathaniel as well as the rest of the crew were awesome. These young adults deserve a praise for their hard work and their dedication in these hard times. I also had a chili cheese hot dog and a Red bull all were great!

5/5. I frequently ask restaurant staff for their recommendations on what to try. Most give vague or uninspired responses. This last visit I spoke with a Jake Hernandez, he was enthusiastic and gave a perfect recommendation. I commend him for being so knowledgeable of the menu and his desire to share his thoughts.

5/5. The purpose of this visit was to allow my 3yr old to get the wiggles out and I took her to this sonic for the little play ground. It is very clean and well lit. Perfect place to take a child.

4/5. The only criticism I have for my visit was the length of time for the food to be delivered. Saying that, I was there for the play ground not the meal, so late in the day. It took 40 minutes for the food to be provided, without any complaint or desire for recompense, the meal was provided with a refund and the staff was immensely apologetic. I believe the issue was my doing, i placed the order in the stall and left my vehicle. I do not feel this is a common problem for this staff and was glad that if it did happen, it happened to allow my daughter to play on the slide, a bit longer.

Even without the refund I recommend this sonic, specifically. Good staff, clean play ground, and a great environment.

5/5. Jake Hernandez's recommendation was: the chili-fries w/Baja sauce. Nothing crazy but it was perfect and...

Worst fast food experience ever. I stopped at this Sonic on the way back from picking up my son from school. Pressed the button and the girl sounded annoyed. Not sure why it didn't look very busy, I proceeded to place my order. 1 strawberry shake and a kids meal for my son. Order was placed at 4:02. Drive hop girl seemed nice when she came 10 minutes later asking if I had a door dash order. I said no politely. She asked several other cars then she found the right one. Finally at 4:20 I pressed the button and asked politely if my food was still there. Just wanted to make sure the car hop didn't give it to wrong car and I was waiting for nothing. The girl on the speaker said" well what did u order. I have alot of orders right now so just wait" 2 minutes after that the car hop girls comes in very aggressive and does not say one word to me. Basically throws my food at me. I had been there long enough so I just left. I didn't drink my shake , because I had a bad feeling maybe they did something to it. My son was happy that we waited over 20 minutes and his food was not hot so he could eat right away. Lol. Worst Sonic experience ever. Worst fast food experience ever. I'm sorry Aliyah does not like her job and that it was...

Pulled up Sunday, Dec 10th at 11:15pm. Drive through had 3 cars including me. At first I thought the guy in front was taking forever to order, but then he peeled out clearly frustrated. When I pulled up I realized that no one was answering to take an order. When I drove past the drive through window I could see a couple of workers in the kitchen, it looked like they were dancing or something, whatever it was it was not taking or processing orders. I then parked in a stall and pushed the red button. 10 minutes and nothing. They weren’t taking any orders at all so any excuse of being overworked is a straight lie. As I was leaving the restaurant I saw a female worker walk out of the restaurant with a young male who was not wearing a uniform, laughing and smiling(probably at all the angry customers they were disrespecting) . They nonchalantly sat down at the bench by the entrance. They showed no acknowledgment of any of the customers or a care about anything. THE NIGHT MANAGER NEEDS TO BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY!! The whole experience was extremely rude, unprofessional, and devoid of any respect for the customer. Somebody needs to take OWNERSHIP of the situation and ensure...
