    If you're not going to honor your sign that says if they don't offer you a pretzel or something else you get $2 off coupon then you need to remove it, every time we ask for it because we're not asked if we want those add-ons the employees tell us they don't know where the coupons are. Also tonight my husband purchased a BLT and it had one piece of bacon cut into three pieces on the whole sandwich pretty shotty we absolutely will not be returning

    I have yet to have a bad experience here! Whether I order through the app or in person, the food is always great and served quickly. I visit at various times of the day, and the consistency is impressive, as I never run into issues. I specifically want to shout out Lisa and Charlie; they are fantastic! Charlie clearly knows his stuff and treats guests with great respect, and Lisa is incredibly kind and helpful every time I interact with her. She is truly an amazing person!

    This location is the best sonic I've had within several hundred miles. The food is always fresh and well prepared. The drinks are never flat/bland. (I especially love the cherry limeade!) The staff here always do their best, even though they seem short handed during the busy rush. Just be patient and allow them a few extra moments, it'll be worth it!
