    The chicken tenders were over cooked and I ordered 3 sauces and only got one. My drink was supposed to be half lemonade and half sweet tea. It's straight lemonade. Not impressed with this sonic.

    Order was incorrect but worse it was burned /old. Not sure which one but the sausage in burrito was rock hard and it was inedible food. My cup was also broken with a broken lid.

    Absolute WORST sonic location ever on St. John Ave!!! The employees are rude, service is incredibly slow. I used to frequent this location almost daily for drinks and will instead be driving across town to our other location. Only after waiting 20 minutes, flagging down 2 carhops, AND GETTING OUT OF MY CAR AND APPROACHING THE DOOR, did I finally get the small Dr. Pepper I ordered. The girls were RUDE and one fake handed me my drink, only to pull it back and tell me “Don’t snatch”. If they get these girls without a lick of customer service sense out, I might consider going back. Never again until there is new staff.
