    Ff came out hard asked for new ones and they just refried the ones they had already given me which made them 10 times harder. Had to get my $ back for them

    I've been to this sonic a few times and had no problems. I go with a friend to get dinner and we asked for NO LETTUCE on both sandwiches. Found a piece on their wrapper which is fine. But they could TASTE THE LETTUCE on a sandwich that, again, wasn't supposed to have any and went into an allergic reaction after only eating a small portion of the sandwich. And not to mention it had pickles when pickles weren't even added to the sandwich. Do better. I understand cross contamination isn't entirely avoidable but there is no reason for the pickles being there and the taste of lettuce. (In the photo, their order is the first one. Mine is the second).

    My chicken tender wrap actually had crispy chicken! It was good. The coney and tots were good too. Ordered in the app and it came out quick.

    If I could give ½ a star shaped like a melted milkshake, I would So picture this: It’s Veterans Day. My son-an actual veteran, not just a guy who owns camo shorts-rolls up to Sonic ready to enjoy the 1/2-price shake proudly advertised on the We Salute website. Seems straightforward, right? WRONG. The moment we asked about the discount, the energy shifted faster than a cherry limeade hitting hot pavement. The “We Salute” program apparently turned into the “We’ve Never Heard of That In Our Lives But Good Luck To You” program. In the end, no shake discount, no salute, not even a confused shrug. Just vibes-and not the good kind. Honestly, I’m convinced this Sonic location is beefing with happiness, patriotism, and maybe dairy itself. I don’t know what they’re going through, but I hope they heal. Until then, we will be getting our shakes from literally anywhere else, including but not limited to gas stations, vending machines, and possibly a blender at home. Do better, Sonic. Veterans and milkshakes, deserve justice.
