I paid extra for extra brownie and I was served vanilla ice cream topped with approximately 5 brownie crumbs. UNACCEPTABLE.

We just spent $20 on overcooked chicken sandwich, chicken tenders and onion rings. They were all way over cooked until they tasted like cardboard. Very disappointing!

It's the only Sonic in town, and it's as good as about any other I'd say. Sometimes there's the issue of shady people approaching you at your car window while ordering and asking for money. Just hold down the horn and blare it if they do that. That tends to get rid of them.
