    Absolutely the slowest food ive ever seen. I dont eat at sonic but I door dash and ive had to leave multiple times while waiting for food. Like 30 min and one car has made it out of drive through type waiting.

    Tried to order a drink special off the app. Had problems, employees refused to honor it claiming the app was through "a third party" even though it was the Sonic ordering app and there was bays specific for those customers at the location; Sonic branded app, not third party, terrible excuse. Employees were clueless about any specials in general or that Sonic regularly offered this same drink special in the past without the app. Extremely disappointing that society forces everyone through broken apps just to be berated by the employees for trying to use it.
