    If I could give it 0 stars, I would. I ordered ahead, arrived at the online estimated time and waited 45 minutes for my food. It wasn't brought out to me after waiting, I had to go inside. My milkshake was melted, the food was cold and part of the order was missing. The staff was dismissive and then argumentative. It was not a busy time so there is no reason for the delay or the food to be sitting out long enough to get cold.

    I have been going here since they opened I really like their milkshakes, onion rings, hamburgers, and all their new items they add every season . For the most part, all the employees are very friendly and helpful.

    Great service and staff was extremely kind. We told them we are visiting from out of town. Checked up on a us a few times to see if we needed anything else. My first time at Sonic, and it didnt disappoint.
