    It took a long time just to order as they didn't seem to have any of the items in the specials. After trying 4 different items and finding they didn't have it when trying to pay, I ended up just getting 2 small hamburgers. They were OK, but I was very disappointed as I really wanted a bacon burger on pretzel bun.

    On 9/29 about 330 I paid $30 for us to get sick. We all had milkshakes and blasts except one person who got a slush. The person with the slush was the only one who didn't get sick to their stomach. It's the only fast food place here and it's no good. My son missed football because he was sick from eating a sonic shake, that's ridiculous. It's day 2 and we're still sick. I'm pretty sure we have food poisoning and paid money for it. The service was good at least.
