- JHJonathan “LeeroyJenkns” HammonsDec 30, 20255.0Sonic is always a good choice, use the app for better deals.
- MMmckenzee mDec 10, 20251.0Genuinely terrible service. Takes 30+ minutes to get TWO drinks. Truly baffled at this!
- MNManny NorthweatherDec 2, 20251.0Cashier got my order wrong and demanded I was wrong took 45 minutes to make 2 burgers
- CGColleen GrilloNov 28, 20251.0Waited on the stall after pushing the service button for them to take out order. We waited over 10 min just to order and they never asked and we ended up leaving without an order or any food.
- CRCatherine RickerNov 27, 20253.0A couple of things went wrong. The service was excellent, as always. The person who brought us are food was sweet and friendly. However, the wrong credit card was used even though we have a credit card on file on the app. 😡 This had nothing to do with the local Sonic. It was the app's fault. Then instead of two hamburgers, we got three and the food wasn't cold but it wasn't hot neither. And for some reason they never make their shakes mixed well. All the good stuff (In this case bits of brownie and the peppermint) is at the bottom ☹️(and it's not very much) 🤨and the rest is all vanilla ice cream. I wish they would learn to alternate by putting in some vanilla ice cream, some of the good stuff, vanilla, some of the good stuff, so it's mixed through out. This is a curbside only service. There is no dining inside. But again, the people are always kind and friendly there.
