    The pretzel and slushy was good but I was still hungry (this was my 1st time there) so we went back and ordered a breakfast burrito. It was so oily and runny, I couldn't eat it. I love breakfast burritos, so I was highly disappointed. I had the opportunity to go back to eat there yesterday, but I declined. It was too expensive for a do-over. Maybe I'll try again, after I get more money. I had such high hopes after seeing commercials for the 50 years of my life.

    Slowest drive through ever. I just went today and asked for packets of mayo the employee said ok and just never came back to the window. I knocked on the window and he ignored me until finally someone else asked me what i wanted. Customer service sucks. Its the only place near my work but I'm not coming here anymore.

    Sonic is my favorite but this location is terrible!! Specifically asked no onions on the app order as i am allergic to onions, received extra onions with my order. They got the drinks wrong. Just terrible staff and not a good location.
