    Sonic always sounds great when I’m nearby, but I haven’t had a good experience at this location in a while. I sat in a stall for 20 minutes after ordering three simple drinks with no update. We pressed the button again to check on our order and no one answered. We then pulled around to the drive-thru and waited another 5 minutes. When someone finally came out, she had an attitude and said, “We’re trying to make more sweet tea, that’s why you’re still waiting.” There was no apology and we never even received our drinks. Very disappointing service.

    This is actually the slowest restaurant I’ve ever been to in my entire life. I’m talking 25 minutes in the drive through with literally nobody else in line and we ordered two hot dogs without sides.

    BEWARE!! Went by Wednesday night 11/12 get a couple slushes. Saw a lot of young people hanging out in front of store playing music and dancing. Sat at menu board for 18 minutes before anyone would answer. Placed order. Person repeated order back but did not give total or say pull forward. Sat at menu board for another 10 minutes before pulling up to window. No one was inside building. Decided not to have slushes and left. Observed employees outside dancing and being loud with the crowd out front of store. When I asked about our order, several of the people flipped us off and said rude and vulgar words. Used to love this store. Now won’t return due to safety concerns.

    Jakyra was our cashier this evening (drive through) when we came by.. she was 10/10 wonderful. Very polite, professional young lady. The food was correct, hot and brought out quickly. Good experience
