    Went through the drive-thru ordered myself some organic orange Nigerian blood and a Cuban Dragon fruit mixed with soft serve ice cream drink. Honestly I have no idea what glorious concoction i had, but it was made by one of the employees. That sucker was amazing! make sure you ask for the organic blood and don't get the Nigerian dragon fruit because that is a SUPER stimulant for your hoo-ha. The last thing you need to be doing is driving down the road bricked up with a stiff hoo-ha! Especially in South Knoxville! GO VOLS

    Twice I have gotten the peppermint brownie shake from this location with no brownie. No other location struggles as much as this one. And the wait times are terrible

    Ordered extra hot fudge, got no hot fudge. Waited 5 minutes at the window for someone to answer and asked for fudge. They mixed the hot fudge into the sundae so then it was just chocolate icecream. 3x I’ve been screwed by Sonic now
