I go to this sonic often, because they are the only sonic that seems to know how to properly cook a grilled cheese... Then this happens, I ordered a few grilled cheeses and then they arrived the cheese was not melted at all and still in it's slice form, I could see the two slices of cheese (usually it's melted and gooey) so I asked if they could remake them. The guy was super nice and said sure no problem we will make sure it's melted, and of course they are not toasted this was the only one that was half toasted. It's literally bread with melted cheese on it. Is definitely an odd texture in the mouth never have I eaten a "grilled" cheese that wasn't grilled. It was super soft and gross. Not to mention the girl who brought us the remade sandwiches had a horrible attitude and I ended up just leaving and not eating.

My boyfriend and I decided to stop in on our way home this evening. I ordered a LARGE sauced popcorn chicken and 3 pretzel twists. He ordered a chili dog, cheddar bites, and 3 pretzel twists as well. We get our food and make sure we have everything. We get all the way home, mind you, it’s 10 miles NORTH of Springfield, and discover this. I had maybe 10 pieces of chicken, INCLUDING the tiny, hard bits in the bottom of the bowl. I’m lucky I ordered 3 twists, because that was what finished up my dinner and made me full. I’m am upset that I paid for a large entree and received what should’ve been a small entree! Definitely not an experience I wish to re-live! Very, very disappointed!!

Waited in drive thru for 30 minutes and they claimed my order “disappeared” that’s the exact word. So I continued to wait for new food. 10 mins later new food was brought out while I was parked and everyone behind me was waited on first. I was also given a refund or do they said, have called the manager Cheyenne and am always told she is never in. I want my $8.85 back and sonic has lost a customer for life. I ordered a #1 and they can’t get it right!!!DO NOT EAT HERE!! Seems like their response to everything is to call some 1-888# and not take responsibility, so if you are reading this save yourself some time. They obviously think you have plenty of extra!

This is the closest Sonic to our house and my husband and I both love eating Sonic and I don’t want this one to close so I continue to support the business. But that being said, this sonic is so I’m disappointed in the management and operation of it. Just one example, tonight my husband and I came and ordered two combos. His burger was incorrect, my burger was incorrect, and there was missing sauces. His burger just had onions on it, which we can remove at home, not the end of the world. My burger had cheese and bacon. It was not supposed to have either. And it was supposed to have lettuce, tomato, mayo, and ketchup. I understand someone maybe just looked at the ticket wrong, not the end of the world. So after arriving home I decided to go back and request the correct item. The employees I spoke to genuinely did not seem to care and were not apologetic. I was only told “sorry for the inconvenience” at the end after being visibly frustrated. No one cared that anything was wrong and no once cared actually that it was inconvenient. We deal with most of the small mistakes no problem and don’t like to complain. But I would really rather see this Sonic improve than close. Please properly motivate your employees to care about their work. These employees must be paid too little to even care about the customers. Also if we are paying $1 to add bacon to a burger, it needs to be more than a quarter of a strip of bacon. The amount of bacon on your burgers is absolutely pathetic. Please pay attention to the tickets and care about the quality of work. I don’t feel that I’m...

I have been wanting to get their app. for a while but I kept putting it off until today because I had seen their new commercials with the ladies, and I feel like they finally found the right people for the ad,and so funny too.So today I tried to put their app on both my cell and on my tablet but they are not compatible for the app . It will only work on Apple according to the information. So I called and asked them what is up? I want to get the bargains and sales specials and I explained to them my dilemma. The young lady was very nice and she said to just let them know that I couldn't get the app and I will still be able to enjoy my slushes for the lower price. So I went out of my way so I could get a slushy for 1/2 price , but they charged me full price for a medium one. It wasn't very slushy either. $ 2.96 for a medium. I could have gone to Kum and Go for any size for .99 cents .I passed, McDonald's. Hardee's, Burger King, and it would have been less and been more like I was wanting. So if your wanting to get me for a customer you need to show me that I should have a right to the same specials. Not everyone has a phone that's compatible to your app. It wasn't because they were shorthanded, and yes they were, shorthanded, it was because I didn't have the app. and I should have been treated the same. So once again if you want good customers like me, send me your message so I will know. By the way it took 24 minutes to get my drink and it...

Just got home after sitting at Sonic on N. Glenstone for an hour waiting on my food for nothing to be right still after all the hassle and waiting had to do. First we sat there at least 45 minutes to finally have a carhop to bring some of our order 4 drinks, 2 onion rings, and a Wacky Pack Meal when ordered 3 large combo meals, an extra sandwich, and Wacky Pack Meal. The guy took the receipt to get the rest of the rest of the food and still come back with only part of it. So hit the red button and explained everything and the lady said would fix it. So waited longer and a different person brought out our food and figured after explaining everything all over again everything would be right. So I left to get home 15 minutes later after waiting so long and not a single thing with my order but my drinks was right. Tried calling store because if drove back up there by the time got there would be closed, and all I got was mailbox is full, line wouldn’t ring or nothing. Will not be going back to this location because after all the explaining and waiting did you can’t call to have anything fixed and no matter how hard tried to explain probably still wouldn’t be right. Also never got my receipt back to help me with talking to customer service who now I have to wait for a phone...
