    My family wanted a late night snack, so we ran to sonic (2 hours before close). I ordered a large fry for my son, because that's all he eats at sonic. Drove home and THIS IS HIS FRIES?? Cold fries sure whatever I'm not the type of person against reheating fries. But this?? These are inedible! You could HEAR them snap! They're beyond cold and stale. How do you even feel comfortable bagging food like this? I've worked in fast food. They knew those fries were old.

    This sonic pretty much always gets my order wrong, regardless of what I get. The waits are unreasonable and they need to hire more people outright. Bonus points for friendliness. They're not rude at all.

    The food and drinks are typically delicious, it’s just a matter of getting them in a timely manner. I attempted to order a cherry limeade and a SINGULAR pretzel, tell me why I waited 20 mins for my drink itself, I ringed the bell again in hopes to chat with them and remind them of my initial order as well as add a pretzel. Well, 12 mins later and STILL NO DRINK OR PRETZEL. I ringed the red button one more time to let them know that sadly I have to leave now since it had already been 32ish minutes without receiving anything and I have an appointment to get to but they didn’t even answer the bell. So much for FAST food 💔 pookie jus wanted a limeade and a pretzel 😭💔

    The food was good, but we had to send some of it back because they gave us the wrong thing. They did remake it and was nice about the situation.
