    I’d give zero stars if I could, I stood at their door to inquire about something and both employees saw me and chose to ignore me go hide in the back as if I couldn’t see them.

    We ordered drinks on the app and the place empty when we arrived. It still took 15 minutes to get 6 drinks. When the server brought them out she was very nice but didn't know which drink was which. The drinks were also not marked so we had to have someone try them all to find out what they were. We like Sonic but not this one.
