    Worst sonic I’ve ever had. Whoever took our order didn’t even care to listen us and messed up a majority of it. I threw my drink away before i left the parking lot.

    Some of the new staff either need more training, or to rethink their life choices. The staff that have been there longer are amazing, and always make my stops a good experience! One young man was either really bad at their job, or just overwhelmed, as I was being given my order, and I had not paid yet. He had told a different staff member that I had...I was honest and paid for my order, but that is not good for business!

    Disappointed. Several of the drive in stalls were not working. Service was slow for just a root beer float. Worst of all the float was awful. How do you mess up a root beer float?

    Waited for 15 minutes for my food. If my boyfriend wasn’t with me I would have left. The people in front of me had 40 dollar order.. I had a 10 dollar order. Why do yall not pull people by the trash can???? The most disappointing thing is my fries were iced cold. Like as cold as Antarctica. After waiting for a longggggg time!!

    If you want Sonic in a timely manner, skip this store. Sat in line for 20 minutes before reaching the window. Sat another 10 at window. Why did we use the drive thru? Thsts for asking. ALL the drive in spots were out of order. Fantastic. The whole point of Sonic. One good thing about sitting and waiting that long would probably be good scenery. Not here, nope. You get to stare at a dilapidated and emaciated shell of a Sonic. Broken awnings. Merchandising displays falling down. Its like even the building was trying to get away. So yeah, just save yourself the torture. Go find a different Sonic. One that still feels the love of corporate. One that hasn't been forgotten to the Keokuk badlands.
