    Poor service and food doesn't even meet basic Sonic standards. $7.50 for a large chocolate shake that looks white and cup not even fully filled. When i asked if I could have the shake fixed to fill a the size I bought and be the correct color, I was told I would be charged more. Never had this issue in south Reno or sparks locations.

    Food was either overcooked or the oil needed changed. The server was rather rude when we pulled in to a spot that was missing the menu.

    Change up the staff, these girls be taking this job too seriously and come off very rude. The audacity to ask 10 cents per sauce and not honor the five already chosen and on my online receipt is enough to stop me from eating at this location all together.
