    Growing up "cruising Sonic" and proximity to their OKC Hq made them a staple growing up. Not as prevalent in Southern California, so stumbling across this one was a nice treat. ** a real drive-in. You eat in your car.

    This place doesn’t respect delivery drivers. Every time I’ve picked up here, it’s seems they decide they’re going to make every other order first and have us wait 10 minutes. I’ve routinely waited 10+ minutes here for items that take 30 seconds to prepare. One of the only problem restaurants out of probably hundreds I pick up from. The vast majority of the time at other restaurants the order is ready when we get there and there is no wait at all.

    HORRIBLE! Run don’t stop here. We ordered a footlong and from the start the order taker was rude and had absolutely no customer service but it got worse! Our car hop Jennifer brought our food out mind you since we ordered the footlong I knew it was going to look a mess as she put everything in one bag and was holding it up right. I looked at our food and sure enough the chili and cheese had gone all to one side and not only that the bun was all torn and pieces. I asked them to remake it and they were upset WITH ME! no apology, they didn’t even acknowledge my request I had to ring the button again and asked if they got it Management needs to look into Jennifer Check number 417322
