    We had trouble placing order with person understanding how to take order. Ordered bacon double cheeseburger and came without bacon. Ordered onion rings and burnt blackened. Exterior of building in very poor condition. Table outside was sticky dirty but the only one in shade. Worker appeared annoyed we wanted the table cleaned. Fod came out in bag and no way to eat on dirty table without tray or something. Overall very disappointing experience for our 2 times of being at a sonic( first and last).

    Visiting from out of state. Was basically $41.00 of hot garbage in a bag. Took 4 tries to get the order "correct" which only involved asking for fries that weren't cold and cheese on the kids meal hamburgers. The final attempt was to microwave them and re-wrap Avoid this location if your expectation is anything higher than dumpster diving. Won't be back even if it was free.

    Love Sonic ! It’s a great burger franchise but this location is terrible & run down . They really should close down as they ruin the sonic reputation . Food is bad and many of the menu stations are broken . Very sad

    Worst quality sonic. Fries were greasy, hard and salty. Waited forever for nasty food, clearly they’re further understaffed or ran by kids. Won’t ever come back.
