    Ordered bacon super sonic and got chicken sandwich. Ordered smashburger combo and it had no sauce, no cheese for pretzels, and tater tots were cold. Waited 15 minutes for this, is a joke! Never again will we come back here

    If I could give no stars I would. I called and spoke to the manager at this location. He sounded already mad and annoyed upon answering my call. I let him know my shakes were the wrong sizes, wrong flavors, my fries were stale and cold and I wasn’t happy. He rudely let me know he bagged the order himself and that I was wrong. I told him I took pictures and he declined to look at them. He told me I cannot receive a refund and “at least I got French fries and so what if they where cold.” I highly recommend you go to another location. Avoid this one unless you want to risk getting yelled at and insulted by the person in management. I’ve never talked to a more rude person in my life. The only remedy you’ll get contacting cooperate is you have to return to the location where you where mistreated and have them remake your food. Why would you want to do that after being insulted by someone? Why not refund the customer or give them a coupon to visit another location. Sonic has lost a customer permanently.

    Honestly I would give it 0 stars. Gabby was very rude when we returned to fix our order and when she gave it back it was still messed up. I have tried this location multiple times and it keeps getting worse. DRIVE DOWN THE STREET TO LIBERTY OR SMITHVILLE!!!! I PROMISE THIS LOCATION IS NOT WORTH IT!!! 0/10

    Eating in my car is not my first choice for dinner, but we had several errands to run and Friday's freebie at Sonic was a free entree with any purchase so it was a no-brainer to stop in. Ordering on the app is easy and the service was QUICK! Less than 5 minutes to order, pay and receive the food. Carhop was friendly and served our food with a smile and a thank you. Great customer experience!
