I've got to this sonic several times and the food is decent but the place is noticeably understaffed. I dont know if its because of the staffing issue but the last couple times I've gone for breakfast there is always an excuse of something being down so they are closed. I've never seen a restaurant be that riddled with issues to where they would rather be closed during business hours than try to serve you.

The hours online should be changed I went yesterday at 8pm and the lady walked out to me to say they were closed?

Very greatful for the app which allows me to save or I would not go too often as their prices can be a bit high. I'm a big fan of their tater tots and large options for drinks.
However, they are very slow even with an app order and their are no deals for shakes.
It's not a super busy place, but they could really use another worker. It seems like there are only 2 works which makes me question how well they handle food. With that being said, I do not order many things on the food menu. Good food handling requires focus and intentionality. Both of them usually gets dropped when one person is doing the job of many.
The workers all seem pleasant. Sometimes I forget the tip. Try to keep a little cash on hand for when I go. I will do the same. Unlike the other places (like Dominoes) the workers actually serve, and the app does not request a tip, so tips are not paid through card payments.
