    Seriously?! I was driving doordash Christmas night. I arrived just after 2300. After over 30 minutes I checked in. It was just before midnight when I finally got everything. The staff seriously need retrained. It was very obvious that the drive through was the only one being prioritized with the stalls a very distant second. An hour wait is ridiculous. There is zero chance I’ll ever go to this sonic for myself and no one else should until the staff is retrained.

    It says it closes at 12am, when we pulled up they immediately closed which ended being 40 minutes early than stated. Unfortunately we didn’t get to eat anything here and took our business elsewhere.
