They don’t answer telephone. I ordered a sonic smasher burger combo it was burnt and cold like it had been sitting on the shelf for a while. Tater tots were also cold . Someone needs to know . So start answering your telephone.

Food was fresh and got service with a smile at the drive-thru, which as you well know, doesn't always happen these days. Nice work, Sonic staff!
