Waited to place my order only to watch other vehicles pull up and order immediately. Not very satisfied with my experience

The food here is always fresh, but the service at this Sonic location is consistently slow. They seem to be struggling with limited staff. Hopefully, they can resolve their staffing issues soon.

Absolutely surprised by this location.
No carhop service, probably due to the physical state of the coverd spaces.
Next, the food.... A burnt chicken sandwich. I could taste the charred surface of the chicken. It was absolutely disgusting. The tots....soggy and oddly chewy...similar to gum almost. Next...the long wait. I was the only one in the drive thru.
Really what gives. Its one thing to have a location that appears to be run down a bit. However, couple that with the slow service and horrendous state of my food speaks miles for staff, both floor and management.
They only thing that was spot on was the cherry-limeade.
Last.. no recipt for my purchase.
( I though it was inside the bag)
To the owner. Please save your store.

This location seems to only use its drive thru which is annoying because depending on the time of day depends on yoyr wait time. Seems they can only focus on one order at a time yet they still have issues with getting your order right. Definitely check your food before leaving their window. Don't feel rushed because there's a line behind you.
