The food is good but almost every time we order here they get something wrong like missing bacon or getting a double burger when we’ve ordered a triple burger worse even when we get a remake sometimes that’s wrong and we end up throwing our hands up because like I said the food is good just annoying to pay extra for bacon or a thicker burger and receiving the wrong thing and having to wait longer to get what we payed for

I just want to point out that the people working there have trouble being efficient when things get busy. There have been a few times where my food and drink was made wrong and a few times where it takes too long. This critique should be taken with a grain of salt & I work at a restaurant as well.

Consistently the worst Sonic in the area. Chances of getting the order right aren’t good. Unnecessarily rude at times. Frequently not accepting mobile orders. Always understaffed and insanely slow. Sonic corporate listen up this location desperately needs a new franchise operator. It’s hurting the brand.

I don’t think it could be any worse if they tried. The tater tots was over salted so bad. I only ate one and threw the rest away. We ordered over $30 in food and had to throw half of it away. The old saying is never say never but I promise this family will never eat their cheap “expensive”garbage food again. If you can’t even make tater tots properly, we don’t trust you with anything else in the bag.
