    I went to pick up my online order today Monday November 10th 2025 at 12:40 PM and I had to wait over 15 minutes to get it even after previously been placed online. I only have 30 minutes for lunch so needless to say this waiting already ruined my lunch break. However, even after the long wait they still gave me the wrong order, and I had to wait another 15 minutes for the correct order. I spent over 30 minutes waiting for a simple order (one burner and one side). I don’t know if they are understaffed or the crew just doesn’t care, but the situation in this restaurant should improve if they want to keep customers around. I would never visit this locations again.

    I came into sonic on a weekday morning, and was greated kindly and professionally by whoever took my order. I was excited to enjoy my food, but it took a turn. The person who brought my food to me (Kaylen?) had a very rude and impatient attitude, just for having to take my card in when the payment terminals didn't work. She also reeked of cannabis! Yuck! The food was amazing, but Kaylen made me never want to spend money at this location
