    I use to love Sonic. The sonic on pontchartrain, Slidell - should just close. The food is never good and the last two times I’ve gone were for ice cream. Who gets ice cream wrong? A few months ago, I get two sonic blast they place the Reese’s at the bottom. It was never blended. I go get two hot fudge sundays, they give me ice cream with no fudge. They just barley placed it in the cup. I’m always disappointed and will never be back. There are hardly in cars in the parking lot and the service is just as bad. This sonic just needs to be closed down!

    They seem to be out of so many items. The wait time is ridiculous! Can’t even bring out the right size straws for the drinks either. There are so many complaints on here and yet nothings been done about.

    Placed an order through the Sonic app, and after waiting 20 minutes, we finally pressed the red button to ask about our order. Only then did we find out they didn’t have any Fritos for the Frito Pie I ordered. Instead of letting us know right away, they had us waiting...just to tell us they were going to substitute it with a large chili cheese tots. First of all, I don’t even like chili cheese tots, and no one asked before assuming that was okay. I ended up with chili cheese fries instead, but they still upsized the other chili cheese tots in my order. Either way, both the fries and tots tasted like old grease, and the chili had no flavor...just more grease. I usually avoid Sonic in Slidell because most of the locations here are disappointing, but I decided to give them another try today. Now I remember why I stay away. Unless you want to overpay for greasy, tasteless food and questionable customer service, I wouldn’t recommend it.

    I love hot dogs but the hot dogs here are always cold, even after I asked for them to be well done. They always forget the catsup and the napkins. I will not be returning to this location.
