    Food took awhile and just wasn't up to par of the sonic brand. Bread was stiff, meat was dry, and tots were thinly covered with chilli.

    Sonic always seems like it was cooked 3 hours before it was served. Always disappointed no matter what location I go to. Even out of state it still sucks

    The speakers to order barely worked. It took forever just to order our food. It was Luke warm at best. Fries were cold and hard. The burger seemed to be reheated in a microwave. When the girl brought our food she barely said anything standing there expecting a tip for nothing. Atmosphere was run down.

    I usually enjoy getting sonic. Today’s drive through visit was just not great. The lettuce was brown and slimey. One sandwich was supposed to be regular and one without pickles or mayo. Both were given without mayo or pickles. My tots didn’t fill the container. My milkshake was a quarter whipped cream. The staff member was very nice though.
