    Terrible service. The idea of a dine in Sonic is great but if you have shitty help working there it don't do no good at all. Waited for almost 5 minutes before getting pissed and walking out

    I have eaten here 4 times in the last 30 days. Good value on the food. Very friendly and quick service. The indoor dining is a nice option. Wish it was closer to my home.

    Ordered a chicken sandwich which appeared cooked, but had a gross raw texture. Husband took a bite and said the same thing. We both spit it out. Also, the restrooms smell like a Porta potty.

    If I wanted ice cream I would’ve bought ice cream, not a shake. This “shake” is undrinkable. Do they even know the definition of their product? (Edit: Went to McDonalds for my shake. 10/10 would go there first next time).
