    I mostly go for the food. Service was friendly but they're usually busy at peak hours. Atmosphere was good since there's hardly any more drive in restaurants.

    I understand machines break—no problem there. What’s unacceptable is the attitude. I was told there might be ice cream in the back, then rudely shut down when I asked if it could be checked. Saying “I don’t know, I’m busy” to a customer is not customer service. If interacting with customers is a burden, a customer-facing job might not be the best fit.

    The service was friendly but the food was terrible. They were out of lettuce which cant be helped but the BLT we ordered was tomato and bits of bacon. So it was more of a tomato mayonnaise sandwich. Then my burger I ordered was cold and undercooked. I only ate a small portion of it before I just couldn't anymore. Very disappointed in the food.

    Got off expressway for gas and bite to eat. Was looking for a sonic drive in. Little hard to find. But it's what I wanted. All sonic drive ins closed up north. Miss going there
