    Love sonic but they have been cheating me for months. The location in Miami OK and Missouri Joplin I always order the slushee and specifically asking for soft serve vanilla in it but every time I get them they use the cream. Like I don't know they have a cream they use. And it would taste bad. So start ordering that separately I guess.

    By far the worst sonic in joplin. Waited 15 minutes for 2 waters. Paid for larges. Came out as mediums. Had to call to find out where my waters were.

    The 2 cheeseburgers took awhile to make because they were a little busy. My vanilla milkshake with blue coconut is the consistency of a cup of milk. It has been 10 minutes since I asked them to remake it. Now we are the only ones here. I am not impressed with this Sonic.

    One of the slowest sonics I’ve ever been to. It’s actually insane. You’ll be waiting forever just for a couple drinks and they’re not even that busy. For a Sonic that has employees running all over the place literally, you are the slowest one

    I get the same thing every single day. The cheesy Baja wrap and this is the fourth day in a row they’ve messed it up but the first day they’ve put something in it that doesn’t even go. They’ve given me a wrap with no chicken a wrap with no lettuce and today gave me a wrap with chicken cheese lettuce ONIONS AND MUSTARD???? Neither of those thing go in either of the wraps.
