    I ordered mozzarella sticks but they didn’t give me the marinara that comes with. Why would I order mozzarella sticks without sauce?

    We went through the drive through when it was busy and the line moved pretty quickly. Our food was very good.

    I had ordered on the app and it somehow made my order at N. 27th Street. Rico called that location and had them cancel the order, then put ina new order, putting in the discount that I lost when I made the original order. I have N. 84th Street set as my regular location. I wish Sonic would 'fix' this glitch on their app.
