    Sonic has the BEST milkshakes around. My only complaint is that they use real icecream but use cool whip for the "whipped cream".

    We pulled up to the carhop order window and started to place an order, being we had multiple parties we decided to cancel the order, step outside and order at the patio to make it easier on the staff and split checks. After ordering, we asked if we could go sit in the vehicle, since it was 20 degrees with wind blowing; it felt like 7 degrees. Harley, refused to serve us if we went to our vehicle, and pulled it to the closest carhop … She said “you ordered on the patio, you need to stay on the patio.” 4 out of 6 of us went to the vehicle to warm up, the 2 stayed on the patio. Harley refused to walk to the table we were at, which was on the far side from the kitchen door. I eventually broke the bickering as she continued to refuse to bring our food over on the patio table and brought the money to her. We had to watch her and the staff make the remaining food through the window. When we asked for sauces that were forgotten in our bags, Harley took her sweet time as we froze outside to get our condiments. We should have left and not taken our food. After paying her for 3 orders, we ate in our vehicle. We put our trash on the table as there was no easily assessable trash can. As we were leaving, Harley came outside and gave us the middle fingers. Highly unprofessional. Some food was not good. Harley was terrible and rude.

    Cam is such a wonderful and pleasant person to be around, you can really tell he loves his job. Always comes out with a smile and makes great conversation. I hope sonic decides to keep him for long, will be back. Have a happy holidays.

    I’m upset I ordered the new toffee bites at the window, the girl was rushing with my order I ate one of the toffee bites and noticed they were half done I was chewing nothing but dough. And I’m upset because I seen it viral all over TikTok and wanted to try them so bad. Just for them to be half way cooked I pressed down in the middle of my bite and it left dents. I just tried calling for a manager and no one is picking up the phone. Bad service DO NOT EAT HERE DO NOT !! It’s nothing but young girls playing around with peoples food they don’t care they just want the money.
