    Would have been good if ordered in-person here, so not holding the bad experience with the mobile app against the location. My recommendation is to never use the app since it's always glitchy at all Sonic locations.

    Arrived and pressed the button multiple times and the order timed out, was ignored, or skipped. Several others were answered that arrived after us. I finally got out and walked to the kiosk in the pouring rain and was told they had several large orders and we should use the drive thru. Pulled up to order and after 10 minutes were never answered as rain poured into our vehicle. We waited a total of 35 minutes without even being able to take our order. This is one of the worst fast-food experiences I can remember.
