    If I could pick zero Stars I would. I don't know what has happened to this Sonic but the food is smaller and quantity and it's a half a piece of cheese rather than a full piece of cheese. Customer service is horrible today which is February 24th we were there for 10 minutes and never got waited on and then got yelled at by the CarHop for pushing a button the reson we did was because of this. As we were waiting the CarHop whispered to my son push the button and he told me to press the button so I did and as the car hop was walking in she yelled at us

    These employees deserved zero stars tonight (2/23/26).They were turning away paying customers because they didn’t want to go out in the “cold”(50°), which we heard them talking about through the cracked door. They weren’t even doing it politely they would just ignore you until you left. We saw multiple employees in there as we pulled away and no other customers was there so they were not short-staffed. One of the employees was a black man with a light blue Bluey cartoon hoodie on who kept coming near the door and peeking to see if we had left yet. He had a headset on too so I’m sure he could hear us. I even motioned for him to come over and was ignored. We watched four other cars go through the same thing as us. This wasn’t even near closing they were supposed to be open for another 3 hours. This was extremely unprofessional and is causing this location to lose business.

    Of course this place is great to enjoy some great fast food whether staying in your car or sitting outside for a nice bite & a great array of drinks and shakes! It's no fine dining but I think we all should be aware of that but still a great place to go to every one in awhile for sure!

    Was there the other day food was ok. Was just pissed that my food waited a little longer to find out when I went inside they forgot about my order.

    They need to hire some people. They've got one dude working during peak night rush. I waited nearly half an hour to even have my order taken, while all the stalls around me continued to fill up, before finally leaving without buying anything. This is not how you run a business. I'm shocked the poor lone employee hasn't walked off in the middle of his shift and told the owner to get down here and do the work himself. There is no amount of money that would be fair compensation for these working conditions. While I was waiting, out of curiosity, I checked the recent reviews on this location..... and that was the final straw in my decision to leave and probably not come back. Good luck to this location. To the employee being severly taken advantage of, there's far better jobs out there. There's no reason you need to put up with this treatment.
