    I have been 4 times for the samething because it has been very good. The customer service is excellent all 4 times. With 4 different people. You don’t get customer service like this to often anymore. Absolutely give them 5 stars.

    Got 2 cream shakes and what I received had to of been made with rotten milk. You could clearly see that the milk was already separated and of coarse I bought them at night time and I wasn't paying attention to them and started drinking one and I got so sick. Worst experience I ever had at sonic on roberts lane.

    Waited 20 min for 2 cheeseburgers that weren't worth the wait, not seasoned or cooked right.
