    This makes twice now that I have come to this establishment and the service has been unacceptable because they are way understaffed. It should not take 40+minutes to make a burger, a coney, and 2 md tots. 2 employees is not sufficient enough to run this establishment. I have sat and watched car after car pull the drive thru, but I have sat in a stall, ALONE, no other cars here and am expected to wait these ridiculous times. Whoever “manages” this place is a joke and should be replaced at the earliest opportunity.

    My friend is one of the managers here so naturally im a little biased, but he's made it from one of the most inconsistent fast food restaurants in Scott County quality wise to the most consistent high quality fast food in the county,

    don’t listen to The negative comments I who have lived here for over 24 years have seen this restaurant be good and bad but over the years, the food and the service and the people in the overall change has been fantastic. I give this restaurant a 10 out of 10 hands-down yeah the atmosphere I’m giving a four out of five, but however, it is a fantastic restaurant with the nicest workers I’ve ever seen and some of the hardest working employees I’ve ever seen so if you have not tried the spot go try it for yourself. You will not regret it

    I stopped at this Sonic on my way to a hike and parked near the restrooms. When the carhop brought my food, I asked if I needed a key for the restroom. She smiled and said, “Unfortunately, our restrooms aren’t available.” This is absolutely ridiculous for a place that serves food and drinks. Customers should have access to a restroom, especially when dining on-site.
