App check in doesn't work.. Tried to submit my space number and kept getting errors.. Tried to walk inside to get my food and all the doors are locked.. Knocked on the door and the girl walks by like I'm not there.. Had to go back to the car, drive all the way around and get into the drive thru line.. Defies the purpose of buying through the app and if I hadn't already paid for my food in the app, I absolutely would've left. Especially after the girl at the window said the app isn't their problem. Won't be back to this location.

Love going to sonic, the food is great and shakes. The food took a little long even though it was a large order. Once it came out it was worth it.

The worst drive thru!! First one lane of drive thru is closed but they don’t tell you till you pull up to order!! Then the order kiosk are down but again they don’t have any sign till you press the button. Like why not put signs prior so the customer that pays for their salary isn’t I convince, it’s bad enough the one in Wayne nj was closed permanently but Middletown ny says to hell with the customer!!! Burger King should buy this one

The one lane at the drive though has been out of order for weeks and the only sign is on the ordering box so you have to back up once you’re already in the lane. It takes WAY too long for service. I think most days there is only 1 person working. This could be a booming business if it was properly staffed and they fixed the equipment. Never been through the drive through in under 20 mins.
