- SMStephen Marika5 days ago5.0The food was great!
- COC OKADec 28, 20251.0This is the 3rd time I've been overcharged or charged for something I didn't order. I was charged extra for sauce after she said they came with the food and charged for a drink when she said IT CAME WITH THE FOOD. All that for my food to be ice cold and mushy. NEVER AGAIN. The food is unseasoned, cold, and expensive for no reason. IM PISSED
- AFAntonio FilippiniDec 20, 20251.0I came here at 1AM for a burger drink and crispy chicken wrap. The drink was good but the crispy wrap was kind of stale. The burger had to have been spoiled or made in dirty oil or griddle because it smelled like fish so bad. I will not be coming back.
- EEElkaDec 16, 20253.012/11/25 I visited in a Wednesday evening. A friend told me that Sonic was having a special on mini corn dogs. I dropped by after work and asked in the drive thru if they were also having a special and they said they were on the regular size corn dogs. It turns out there was some kind of miscommunication because there was no special. I got two corn dogs that were not particularly hot or fresh. After I gave my payment, the young woman inside handed me my credit card, receipt, and straw and then immediately handed me the drink. While I was putting the credit card away in a pocket, she impatiently waited holding the drink out of the window. I'm thinking the timing and thought process could have been more mindful, like, 'I *just* handed the customer three things, I'll wait until the order is here or when her hands are free to hand her the rest." Later, she handed me the order in a bag with a straw and no napkins. I had to wait for her to open the window again to ask for more. From the outside, the restaurant was clean and there wasn't a line. There weren't many people parked there to order. It's situated facing the gas station, so I missed where the drive in was the first time around. It looked bright and fun.
