    We got breakfast which you can get all day anytime and we were at a booth since we had just flown in from DC. It was delicious and just what we needed after a very long travel day especially since they remembered to include the yummy sonic peppermint.

    I try not to write a bad review just over one bad visit, so after several bad experiences, it's now time to review this place. This is the only Sonic location that when you place an order through the app, get there and after the screen says your carhop is on the way. That it takes them 5-10 mins before they bring the food. I am not accounting for days when it's busy, I'm o ly going to refer to days when there is hardly anyone there. On top of that, the food doesnt seem to be as good at this location and they tend to mess up more orders there. My last trip, and it will truly be my last time going to this location, I ordered a chili cheese coney and a drink. I was literally the only customer they had in the whole place. After it said my food was on the way, it took again, another 5-10 minutes to come out. When I got home and saw my food, the hot dog was burnt and there were these cuts in the hot dog about 3/4 of the way thru about every inch. Then, it had this weird taste. If you have a choice, I would go to a different location.

    No one assisted me at the stall or drive thru. I waited more than 15 minutes without service. Incredibly frustrating.
