- GDGrant DrenningDec 21, 20251.0The two cars in front of me just pulled off from the drive through ordering screen. I get up to the window and say hello ~6 times over the span of 3 minutes before anyone responds. Granted, have already been sitting there waiting on the other two cars to not get spoken too for about 10 minutes. They say they don't have any foot long coneys. We sit at the window after paying for another 15 minutes or so before finally receiving our food. I doubt the whole restaurant is out of foot long coneys, the workers most likely just didn't prepare properly. Just hoping management sees this and takes appropriate action because this normally doesn't happen at this sonic. I come about once per week around this same time. Laziness is a disease.
- DFD FootmanDec 16, 20255.0We ordered the footlong hot dogs combo, sat in the drive-in and ate it. The food, atmosphere was hot & good. The ginger ale drink was a little weak.
- JJjosieDec 13, 20251.0i’ve had 2 dasher attempt to pick up an order for the past HOUR. after waiting and talking with the second dasher i attempted to call to see what was happening. the manager here has such an attitude and extremely rude. will hang up on you. she turned off the red button so they wouldn’t be bothered when my dasher attempted to pick up my order from a different stall since they wouldn’t go out to here where she first parked.
- HGHarley GirlDec 11, 20251.0This is the absolute worst place I have been to. We went thru the drive thru waited over 40 mins. No one showed up or bother to communicate to take our order. You might as well be non existent !!! People were leaving left & right with no service ….. Pitiful for certain.
- LJLogan JohnsonNov 16, 20251.0Quite literally the worst sonic i've ever gone to. Order is completely wrong every other time, missing items everytime. Night crew couldn't care less and will make you the smallest tiniest portion they can. Food has been cold as its handed to me multiple times.
