    First time coming to this location! I pulled into the stall and I ordered. The lady is hard if hearing so I was very patient and understanding. She read back my order and I was pleased. My fault was not checking the bag. But I never had a problem with sonic so I assumed it was right. I was wrong I got home and I was missing a burger. I called and they said they'll re make it. I repeated my order and told her the missing one. She said got it just come in. I drove back ro get my missing food. I checked it to make sure it was correct. It wasnt. I told them that this wasnt it. I told them my order again and they started to get mad at me and started giving me some additude. I finally get my correct order after 20 mins of waiting. So unprofessional!

    went there the past two nights and the guy in the grey shirt was constantly yelling and cussing i hope it wasn’t at the employees the poor bellhop was staying positive through it all and made sure we had what we needed and apologized multiple times for the wait. she was sweet and kept a smile on her face when she walked out the door. the shakes were delicious and the food was okay the sides were cold but the burger was hot.

    Specifically ordered what my daughter asked for got home wrong thing in the bag called and was told it's not their fault it's a new bell hop training. So it's the customer's fault they didn't make the correct order? You can't make this up. If I could give zero stars I would. It was the lack of accountability that made the situation even worse.
