    I’m not sure if there’s a milkshake training course, but this team might need a refresher. I’ve never received milkshakes that were overflowing down the sides with the lids not fully secured and barely any whipped cream on top. They started spilling before we even made it onto the road. I wasn’t going to leave a bad review until damn near the whole team acted like I shot their dog because they were asked to do their jobs. I do want to recognize our carhop, Abbie. She was fantastic, polite, hardworking, and clearly giving 110%. She handled the situation as best she could. She deserves recognition for her effort. Unfortunately, one great employee couldn’t make up for the lack of…well everything!

    I just bought a blast from the St. James Sonic and the ice cream was sour and felt like it was fizzing on my tongue. I'm not trying to be mean cause I do like sonic food. But this time made me wonder how they are cleaning their machines.

    They’re supposed to make everything fresh and I ordered one of their chicken sandwiches. I couldn’t even bite through it. Hard piece of chicken. That’s probably been laying around for a week. That’s the last time they get my money.

    If a restaurant cannot break a hundred dollar bill , then the meal should not be twenty dollars

    They have a toilet but they say we don't have one. It's just locked. No decency to just say it's out of order. I am standing in front of the toilet and asked if it's locked, the lady said we don't have a toilet. I was like, did you hear me? And she repeaded the same, sir we don't have a toilet. The service was crap and then food not so good.
