- SWSara Walters4 days ago2.0I have been disappointed with my experiences at this location over and over both in the drive thru and inside. Things always seem to be incorrect or low quality! The wait even for the drive thru is terrible, I don’t think I’ve ever not had to pull ahead and wait at the drive thru. Every fountain drink I have tried here is weak and tastes like algae water with “soda flavor”. Will not visit this location again unfortunately. Employees don’t seem to care about quality or helping correct issues.
- VDVerona DesisDec 1, 20251.0We ordered online and went through the drive through, they forgot one of my burgers but we got it pretty fast, can’t really say much about the atmosphere since we went through the drive through but I ordered a sonic smasher and that thing was just straight SALT. Like if I was going to finish it I’d have to wash the salt out first. Bread didn’t help either, thought I narrowed it down to being the patties.
- DCDarren CrewsNov 28, 20251.0Thought we'd grab something really quick to go we were heading to the beach. Asked for a cheeseburger on toast only certain condiments wrong. Asked for a chicken sandwich on toast certain condiments wrong. Tots were old and pretty much crumbled. No napkins in the bag and my chocolate shake was so thick couldn't drink it. This place should have been closed a long time ago. Don't go here bad experience. This was the second time we'd tried it and both times horrible. Doss's is right across the street they're better.
- ICIsaac CarrilloNov 20, 20251.0Took too long and food quality was poor. Cold food and half made cherry limeades.
- AEAres ENov 11, 20251.0None of their screen are working and some are missing. The whole point of the resturant is out of order.... Why is it even open?
