    Some of these reviews forget this is a drive in and serve multiple people at a time sorry if your food was out less than 30 min or took 2 min to respond to your bottom pushing 🙂‍↔️

    No complaints on the food, but this Sonic is still the worst I've ever visited. All the stalls screens are either broken or too dim. It took more than 2 full minutes for someone to respond after I pushed the red button, even though I'm the only customer in the stalls. They had to take my credit card inside since they apparently don't have a mobile card reader. The guy on the intercom seemed like he was working hard, but wasn't the most polite. The carhop was great. Overall, this location needs major changes immediately or it's going to fail.
