The last couple of times that my boyfriend and I our order have been wrong a little bit, like they forgot the cheese on the tater tots or no onions on the burger but today our tater tots were over cooked and our foot long was dry out. Really disappointed

Yo sonic is good in all but I swear every time I come here after a school event it always gives me trouble, let me explain. So I walk up to one of the stalls press the red button and wait for about 10 minutes then I keep trying to switch them and waited for 30+ minutes and we have a tight schedule so we have to go fast and all it’s doing is dragging me along so I go to another stall wait for about an hour and I’m sitting on the curb waiting and some lady drives in front of me acting like she don’t see me like bro are we serious? So then I move to an open one for a chance to at least order some food. Keep in mind my friends already have their food. Anyways I wait for a while and I give up so my coach tells me to go down a couple to an open stall wait for 5 minutes and then somehow works like I guess I was pretty unlucky idk. Took way to long I almost walked to the subway across the street

Gave 1 star cause couldn't give less! Waited in the drive thru line forever, not moving. FINALLY, they left us at the speaker never reanswered to take the order! Multiple cars behind us left and then we did too! Trying to get son an ice cream after XC meet.... workers looked dirty and disheveled as we drove by the pick up window! So it was the best outcome. Went to Wendy's and got food and shake there on record time. SONIC is so off the list.
