I ordered a Reese shake with Oreo and chocolate fudge.. It was melted by the time it was delivered. I put it in the freezer. 5 hours later , I remembered it was in the freezer. I’m eating it now and it’s delicious. .

I always hear people from other towns complain about Sonic, particularly the service (speed, ability to get orders right, friendliness) but this Sonic has the best service and I'm grateful to be so close by! I always see the same people working there and they're efficient, accurate, and super nice. My order is always right and I order ahead on the app a few mins beforehand and always get my food super fast!
