    The owner of this sonic really needs to do something about this location. I don’t even know why a worker would put this into a bag to serve to a paying customer, given they wouldn’t like this if they received it. They 100% know better and a delivery should have the same quality as pickup, an order through sonics app, an order in person, or any other form of getting sonic. Also of an almost $2 up charge to “make it dirty” (the sweet cream & coconut) it should be in the drink.

    They had zero customers and that should've kept me driving but i decided to stop and get a sandwich since it's been a while I ate fast food. I ordered 1 chicken sandwich with fries and a drink. I drove off and realized my fries were cold and hard. Went back and was very polite explaining that I had gotten cold fries, the girl told me to drive around. She gave me cold fries again..I didnt say a word. I left but best believe I will NEVER return. I tipped too but i guess some people are just lazy. So many sonic always have a crowd except this one, now I know why.

    We stopped in ordered 2 pretzel sticks and a dr pepper. They let us know dr pepper wasn’t available so we swapped to sprite. Paid $9.40 about 10 mins later the let us know they don’t have pretzels, ok we swapped to tater tots, they don’t have tater tots, ok swapped to onion rings, they don’t have that either….. swapped to french fries and mozzarella stick…….. yeah should have asked for a refund and left. Left here and went to Copelands for a real snack.

    This sonic is a JOKE. I work at the hospital next door and we have ordered from there many times because they're conveniently close. And EVERY time, they have messed up our orders. No exaggeration. Just last night we placed an order and my burger was BURNT. And I mean crunchy burnt. Half of it was inedible, not to mention they forgot 2 items on the order. This is every time. This place is horrible.
