    Placed online order and waited around 25 mins after pulling into pickup spot & confirming we are there. they brought us out someone else’s order and took it back! hopefully they don’t serve it to other customers. they brought our food out correctly but missing the drinks & then made the drinks wrong. very unhappy with this experience.

    Not the best experience, Food and drink are good, customer service is horrible. Screen/ Display system did not work properly, individual that brought our food was not engaged and could care less.

    Riley is an exceptional worker!! I have an autistic son who loves chili dogs. I introduced my son to sonics chili dogs and he loves them! Riley has been so professional and attentive with ordering and also made sure they were made correctly! I will keep coming back to this location for my son! Riley is the best!!!
