Had such a horrid experience this morning. We ordered 2 ultimate meat and cheese meals. Waited 25 minutes and they brought out our meals. Both were missing tater tots. Meat was all burned and hardly any egg. We sent it back and asked for it to be re made. The pictures I have posted is the remakes. The tater tots looked burned but were soggy from oil. Having worked in restaurants that is because the fryer oil is old. They look done but they are not because the oils dirty. I emailed the manager listed on the door twice. Once while waiting another 20 minutes for a remake and once for the pictures of the re made food. No reply as of yet and I do not expect one. I've gotten this meal so many times in the last 15 years I could go in and make it myself. Your employees walked around with no hussle, no smiles, with full stalls and horrid wait times. I will never go to this location again. DO BETTER!

Absolute worst experience at this location. They are obviously using old grease to cook their fried food. My tater tots hardly filled my container and the little that were in it were disgusting and my fries which again I was cheated on was cold and tasted like burnt oil as well. The attendant became upset because I had to tell her that they got my drink wrong and she acted like I was bothering her to ask for my correct beverage. Then when I informed the attendant that my fries were extremely cold they said they were going to send some more out and they never did. If they are not going to care about their business or their customers I refuse to give my business to this location ever again. I work in the food industry and this is intolerable behavior.

I came here first time bc all the other drive through were wrapped around their block with cars, the first two stalls I pulled into were under maintenance, I knew exactly what I wanted, grilled chicken, tots, and cherry limeade. The cherry limeade came out with so much lime I made sour faces for a full 2 minutes, they remade it, I left. On way home I started munching tots, every other one seems to have been individually rolled in salt. So I get home and bite into the sandwich, for the first time I understand when ppl say chicken tastes like cardboard. I thought I bit into the wrapper! I didn't. It was salted cardboard flavored chicken. Also the chick Pattie is the same thickness as the thinly sliced tomato.

Went there for lunch on 3/20/24 and had placed an order on the mobile app for a footlong coney with jalapeños added and a drink. Waited a bit for my order which was okay, got notified after about 10 minutes my order was on its way. Sat there for another 10 minutes waiting for my order ( because I know sometimes they will put that but will still be in the process of making it) and then finally decided to hit the call button to see if my order was actually on the way since my lunch break was about to end. The lady asked for my name twice and then asked if I had made the order online or physically at the store. Let her know that I made it on the mobile app, and she told me that my order was just getting finished up and would be on the way, so I sat and waited another 5 minutes. Ended up getting my order past my break time, so I wasn’t able to eat it until when I got out of work only to discover they didn’t even add my jalapeños which I was still indeed charged for granted it’s $0.89 but it still sucks.

My main issue is the no jalapeños and then saying my order was on its way and then getting it 15...

Worst customer service. The woman who took my order over the intercom was great and friendly, but when the food was delivered, I was not greeted with a hello, nor was the order reviewed with me before handing over the food. The girl just looked at the bag and then basically shoved it towards me and just said "here". As I placed the food and drink down she was already walking away without asking me if I needed anything for my popcorn chicken or even just a mint like all Sonic employees have asked me in the past. I had to poke my head out of the car and try to get her attention to request some ketchup. When I politely asked if I could get some ketchup, she responded with "sure" and never returned. I sat there for 12 more minutes, thinking maybe it was just busy for her and she would eventually return with some ketchup after delivering others' orders, but I never saw her again. I completely understand that people can have a bad day, but she was just outright rude and that was unacceptable. Would recommend going to the other location next to Target and Academy, they have outstanding customer...

i’m a customer that often goes to sonic and also a doordash driver. i understand that sonic workers usually aren’t gonna care about their jobs but this was just insane. I had a doordash order here and decided to order for myself as well. they brought me my drink in 5 minutes then 20 min later they come back out again with my same order that they gave me 20 minutes ago, how is that even possible? idk lol. then i asked how long was on the order and said the customer was going to cancel the order if it isn’t brought out soon (the customer did say this and understably so since it was 20 min past the pickup time) The worker proceeded to say “I don’t care i get paid either way”. This coming out of a customer service workers mouth is actually insane, they should at least be apologetic about the fact that they are 20-30 minutes late with an order. It was a 25-35 year old hispanic or middle eastern guy and this happened...
