    I frequent this Sonic by my house weekly! Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting such a professional, bubbly, attentive young lady! Her name Kerria! I've worked in the Food Industry for 20 plus years! Kierra, is and will be a huge Value for any career she chooses. Her passion is the same as mine know matter what we have to do with in reason we will make sure that everyone leaves happy! The drive through had a line of cars. Kierra just went down the line she approached me in the drive through with my R44 Ice Tea, (Love Sonic's Ice Tea) its a must Try! And she said my cheeseburger would be right out! So I went ahead and paid for it and gave Kierra a Tip! Kierra was so appreciative, it wasn't a whole lot but it got my point across of how thankful I was just for Kierras Excellent customer service!

    This establishment has been on a roll with the inconsistency of hours of operation. The first time I came around 9AM they were closed , the store was pitch black , no one in sight , no car in sight , no music playing , and then I visit again and the lack of attentiveness , professionalism , and customer service was my defining moment. I’m unsure as to the amount of staff they have but I have seen restaurants with only one worker working both the register inside the store for walk-ins , preparing food , and tending to the drive thru and still provide better customer service and communication and professionalism than this place. Each visit I’m seeing people sitting in their car waiting not hearing anyone answer in the intercom or circling the restaurant clearly wanting to give the establishment money but this establishment needs to improve tremendously and work on their approach , attentiveness , acknowledgement of the customer , appropriate communication , and timeliness.
