- YYYouknowitDec 10, 20251.0Cold burger and soggy. I asked for no diced onions and it was covered in them. I reached out to the contact for the restaurant and was told management would call/email me. Idk why but still haven’t heard anything. We won’t be eating here again. $20 bucks for some soggy cold food no thanks

- JMJeff MahonNov 22, 20251.0Usually don’t do posts like this but annoyed with multiple bad experiences with this place. A few months ago I had a shake from here that tasted like they used expired dairy. And today, I’ve gone at a time they’re listed as open and been turned away while at the carhop. When I hit the button, an employee came on and very quietly said sorry we’re closed. Then immediately hung up. I still have no idea when they’re actually open since all the online resources said they should’ve been open all day today
- JAJoe AffatigatoNov 11, 20251.0I used to get food here all the time. The last few years though... it has been nothing but a mass decline. Especially when ordering through door dash with the insane hike on the prices, and having to order so many things seperate instead of as a meal. It's bad enough that the driver would just leave the food on the porch in 39 degree weather and NOT notify us, but the food itself its just extremely poor quality compared to what it used to be. Also how much of a clown do you have to be to put the 4 slushies in 2 sperate trays, and have 1 bag of the food pressed against them in each tray getting ice cold?! Not to mention the fact that you cant even use the drive in booths anymore. It's drive through window or bust. It's sonic!, The whole point of going there is to drive into a drive in booth, and eat in the car. Not wait in a line of 15 people for half an hour just to order! Never ordering from here again.
