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!

Went at 7:30 am on a Sunday and had already ordered through the app for pickup in around five minutes, got there and went through the drive through which a woman answered saying they were closed until 8am then hung up. So we pulled to a stall which the same lady answered and then said she refused to bring out the one drink I had ordered due to them not opening until 8. I asked why online is states they open at 7:30 which she yelled at me and told me she will not be coming outside with my order and that I would have to wait until 8 on the dot. When asking for the managers name she then told me she won’t tell me and to call on Friday between 2-4pm because that’s the only time he’s there. Drink was also made wrong!
