    The lady who took our order benallope didn’t only ring our order up wrong but was constantly talking over me, wouldn’t let me finish talking, and in the middle of me trying to correct the order decided to end our order, and start taking someone else’s. Maybe if she wouldn’t have been so rude, and let people talk she wouldn’t get so many orders wrong.

    My favorite fast food place in Columbus. The prices are a bit high, but it's totally worth it!

    Could use some updating for sure but the staff is always friendly. You can tell the difference in the cooks by the quality of food you get

    Myself and two co-workers walked next door from our hotel to Sonic. We got there at 9:58 PM and one of my co-workers ordered and got his food. I press the button at 10:02 PM. They turned off the outside lights and said they were closed. They knew we were outside before we tried to order. The only reason we went there is because the hours on Google said 6-11.
