    I was excited to try the Pretzel Smash Burger. It was so salty, I couldn't eat it. Tots were very good, but greasy.

    Food is tasteless. This place really fell off. Then I ask the lady with the orange braids if my condiments are in the bad. She says yea but when I get home. Nothing. I threw my food in the garbage. Thanks for nothing. And I tipped on the app. Here’s my receipt

    Sonic has gone down hill. It was a great place to stop by when they first opened in NJ. They are known for their 1/2 price deals however their food is NEVER fresh anymore. I used to buy the chicken club toaster and it always was served hot and fresh. I've been to this location quite a few times with no customer service issues. Today I decided to stop by even knowing what I know simply because I wanted to use car side and replicate this sandwhich. It was only around 6:30pm and I was told that they were only taking orders at the drive thru. Well then I guess I'll be going to a different business because if I wanted drive thru, I would have chosen that. The drinks, hotdogs, and shakes are the ONLY items that are ok. The employees here, it depends on who you get...sadly they can hang outside but can't walk and hand a bag. 🙄

    Tasty Coney Dog. I would have preferred the roll toasted, steaming it made it kind of "soggy"
