Placed an order through the app (20 minutes before reaching the location) and still waited over 20 minutes after getting there for the food. Do not recommend this location unless you have time to spare.

Food quality is not what it used to be. I usually avoid Sonic.

Every time I have been here, it is a bad experience. The order is wrong, extra long wait even ordering early in the app (we’re talking 20+ minutes and ordering 10 minutes before arrival), customer service is trash. Idk if management is bad or always understaffed. Honestly just go eat somewhere else so this place doesn’t ruin your aura.
