    The mini sonic blast is $4. This was my M&M blast—less than 15 M&Ms in the entire thing. Most bites were just plain vanilla ice cream

    My mom died and we had her celebration of life at this sonic. Not only was the food colder than her body. The customer service was terrible. The most flavorful thing was the tears on my burger.

    This is the worst (Sonic) around the area. The employees don’t want to work and when they do work, they don’t know how to return change properly.

    Stopped for onion rings just before Burlington county line. Decided to have the chicken fried steak sandwich and a diet Dr. Pepper with it. Big Mistake! First attempt:Server brought the drink without food. Second attempt : Server brought steak sandwich with Curly fries. Third attempt : a different Server was sent out with the onion rings. All this aggravation cost $13.42 , and 27 minutes. It is a pity the service was not good, because the food was hot and delicious once my order was corrected. Here's hoping my one dining experience was an isolated event.😒
