    Absolutely the worst place in Benton and the GM there, Andrew, is absolutely terrible. They need all new employees. Half of them are under the influence while at work and it is disgusting on the inside. They should not be allowed to even be open. The health department really needs to be informed on a lot of things and shut them down.

    Last 3 times I have attempted to eat here it takes 30 minutes to get my food. Absolutely insane for a fast food restaurant. Always have 1-2 people working.

    Every time I go here something happens. I ordered on the app so it wouldn't take long. App was fine but when I got there a sign was were I should pickup that said to go to certain parking spots but couldn't find them so I had to go to order window and wait in line. Of course when I finally got my turn she put me on hold before I could tell her that I ordered in the app. So I might have just ordered there..it didn't save time. So irritating that a Sonic would be sooooo slow! Food was just OK. Was cold from waiting. I don't know why I keep trying them. They were so good when they first opened but these owners are running it down.
