    I had waited over 30 minutes for a mobile order and this is what the parking lot looked like. I called multiple times regarding my order they acted like it would be out shortly. Waited another TEN MINUTES! and had to call again Ms.Emily answered the phone saying they have been busy. She also stated they don't have a corporate number for me to contact which is insane and makes no sense. Also if this is busy how long would hate to see how long it would take if they actually had business. If you want fast food do not go to sonic on by Southside Walmart. You'll get Southside business. Employees outside talking to coworkers rather than cooking smh. Pathetic!

    This Sonic sucks. Don't waste your time. We used to go here all the time, then mistakes started to happen, and then if we used the app and pulled up to get it order, they'd tell us no refunds, but what we ordered isn't available so they could either write a note and we could come back another day, or we could choose something else. Lots of times it was simple stuff they'd miss, like ordered a plain cheeseburger only to open it and see all the condiments and toppings on. Twice we have ordered through the app for things like Pretzels or other things on sale. Get there and say "we can't give refunds, but what you ordered isn't available" We thought "let's try a milkshake during their 1/2 price deal. It's hard to mess up a milkshake." Get there, have to change 2 out of 3 milkshakes. Then I got home and realized they didn't even add in the extras to my milkshake that I paid for. I feel like Sonic wants people to use the app so they can screw people out of more money. I don't know what the deal is, but Sonic is no longer an option for an easy night out.
