- MJMaria JoyDec 29, 20251.0Came by with family to grab a treat on our day out. Slow service, waiting for over 5 mins to order. He said to let him know when we are ready & we said we were ready repeat 4 times, watched other cars were receive their food & drinks then when there was no cars.. still waiting for someone to respond to us till we pulled up to the window. Once we got to the window, we saw the car behind us was ordering at the speaker which it’s was a little longer wait. The guy finally took our small order but was rude & rushed us. Once we received our drinks; my drink wasn’t what I asked for & seemed rushed made on purpose to get us out of their window. Don’t recommend to come here at all.
- JKJake KeninDec 27, 20251.0Absolutely horrible sonic. Exceptionally slow service, even when there are no other customers. Food is low quality (the chicken bites are worse than cafeteria food) and if you order a sonic blast they wont even take the time to mix the toppings in. I usually love sonic and even i wont go here.
- AKAmber KendallNov 29, 20251.0Can't rate food. Stopped with my pregnant daughter and pulling in I noticed only two other cars. Pressed the button on two different spots to place order and no one eve came. Waited 5 min. For any response then finally just left You think on a Saturday with only two customers they would have at least asked us to wait a minute or responded.
