    Took over 20 minutes to get chicken tenders and a grilled cheese. Was told they were severely short staffed. Clearly staff are not paid enough which reflects on the management and corporate.

    I've heard that Sonic's kind of gone downhill lately, at least with the food, but I was hoping that the milkshakes would still be good. We got a large one and it was a pretty good deal, and the ingredients used were actually pretty high quality, you could really taste the milk in there (slightly sour). But there was barely any toppings inside, and it was overall unremarkable almost like just a regular vanilla ice cream..

    I just ordered from doordash 2 shakes and a blast. THE LIDS AND CUPS SMELLED LIKE BUTT. The person who made our shakes definetely DIDN'T wash their hands after using the bathroom, the smell was so awful it was easy to tell. SONIC management please make sure your employees are washing their hands, ya'll are handling our food! DISGUSTING EXPERIENCE!

    I thought this time ordering with the app onsite would make things faster. The app said we’d have our food in 5-7 min. 40+ min later it comes out. And felt as it had been sitting under a heat lamp. We have been several times now and experiencing the same results. It’s unfortunate.
