    First they took our order and then proceeded to let us know they were out of somethings when they got to the window, which was no big deal we just picked something else. But then they hand us a completely different order marked wacky pack for kids, which wasnt close to what we order either time. We go back around and they give us the correct-ish order they had messed up again. Mind you we only ordered a couple of sides. We ended up giving up after that.

    Better than most fast food places. Service is hit or miss. Check your bag to make sure your order is correct before leaving.

    Waited at drive in kiosk.. pushed red button to order, no one came on the speaker, no one came out. 3 cars went thru the drive thru and still nothing. Had to go thru the drive thru to put order in and they had no explanation as to why no one answered the drive in kiosk. 🙄

    I don't ever do reviews nor do i even eat at sonic. Was picking up food for my sister. ordered a hot dog with fries and a drink, and an order of chicken bites. Not sure how but they messed up everything. They gave us 2 hot dogs with no buns, and tater tots. How high do you have to be to mess that up?
