    I have 15 minutes before closing time and the manager told me the only thing I can order is a drink. This is not the first time they try to close this place so early.

    Slowest Sonic i have ever been to . They are always understaffed and unfortunately the wait times reflect that. If you go through the drive through be expecting to wait a minimum of 30-45 min. 2 people working on a Friday night is ridiculous when the order screen is slammed with orders and they're busting their butts doing everything to keep up and it's still not enough. This location needs help ASAP

    Went to the sonic in Robertsdale before work the other morning and tried to pick up an online order and the guy working was EXTREMELY disrespectful and talking to me with so much attitude right off the bat for no reason at all. Then proceeded to tell me one of the items I ordered on the app was discontinued and that I needed to call customer service and they “might” be able to refund me and shoved the bag at me without offering any substitutes or apologies. Was almost then late because the whole process took over 20 minutes.
