    The last few times I’ve been here the food is not edible.. on Black Friday I stopped for dinner for three and was shocked that after telling me they’d not been busy at all-absolutely nothing was fresh .. my child’s hot dog was green and had obviously been in the steamer since morning, I ended up cooking that evening, this time I requested fries fresh and when my toddler spit them out I tried one to discover they were so salty it was insane!! Workers were standing around laughing when I pulled through and I can’t help but think it was intentional.. sonic has good menu items but no one takes pride in their work here and I would not recommend this location to an enemy

    genuinely the worst business i’ve ever had the displeasure of trying to doordash. I went for weeks ordering fine from them and now all the sudden my orders always cancelled or my payment didn’t go through and they still take my money

    Couldn't take an order for a stall outside near midnight. Mobile app also doesn't work. Rude worker came and yelled. Usually love sonic but this is honestly disappointing.
