    Waited in the stall for over half an hour for a Single M&M blast. When it finally arrived, the rudest person i ever met simply asked me if it was mine. No spoon, no apology. The blast itself is half melted ice cream with a handful of M&Ms just tossed on top, not mixed at all. Worst Sonic I have ever visited.

    extremely poor custpemr service. delivery drivers get ignored, even though instructions ask to come to drive in, no one responds at drive in, and customers ordering delivery experience ridiculous delays for no good reason. I recommend to order delivery elsewhere

    This Sonic forgot an item from my family’s order, a mobile order I drove 20 minutes one way to retrieve. I kindly asked that the order be remade because the food was cold at the point of return. They only remade the item they forgot. On top of all that, the food didn’t taste great (besides the temperature). I won’t be returning to this Sonic, if any.

    The kids working at night are rude, dont know what theyre doing and they take forever just for cold food to come out. Everytime the little girl opened the window she laughed like something was funny. Very upset. Customer service skills suck over there and they all need more training. Won't be returning. Train the kids better or hire adults.
