I ordered on the app and when we went to pick it up the employee said “the hot dog machine is broken” (whatever that means) and gave us the bag with no hot dog. No offer of a substitute or refund. I told my boyfriend to go ask the other employee to give me a substitute which she did for a lesser valued item. But I find it strange they were perfectly fine with handing me a bag without paid items and not offering a refund nor a substitute.. just going to keep my money. ?

Waited for nearly 20 minutes for food. When it came out, it was the wrong order. Waited an additional 10 minutes and got a half done hot dog with a splash of chilli, a busted hot dog bun, and tater tots with very little cheese. The oreo blast had oreos on top and that's it. I threw most of it away because it was obvious the food had been under cooked. I won't go back to this Sonic.

I’ve gotten 2 meals from this sonic and each time it’s served with attitude from the juveniles, everything is incorrect, cold, or missing items. Just skip it
