    I ordered a chocolate shake at 5:36pm. I leave my house and it says it will be ready at 5:42pm I get there around that time and I wait until 5:55 to get my drink. I ordered a medium, one it looks like vanilla, the chocolate essence is not there. It is filled with the BARE minimum, not even to the top of the styrofoam, if your not going to fill it to the top of the plastic round top at least fill it to the brim of the cup itself. Terrible customer service, didn’t even look me in the eye or say a word. Simply handed me my drink facing the other way and left. I had a cash tip in my hand ready but the fact that only one other car was there and it took 20 minutes for my drink just to not even be full. No thanks! Not to mention the shake isn’t one bit cold.

    📍 Sonic Drive-In 🗓️ 11/18/2025 ⭐️ (1/5) Ordered a Route 44 Cherry 🍒 Limeade 🍋‍🟩 with extra cherry sauce. I did get the extra sauce, but once the drink was gone and I started enjoying that amazing Sonic ice, I realized there were NO cherries and NO lime in the drink at all. ❌😑 No fruit at the bottom. No lime wedge. No cherries. Just syrup. Fast food has gotten so fast people forget how to actually make things correctly anymore. And honestly, it’s not just Sonic — this is happening everywhere. Napkins forgotten, sauces missing, basics skipped. Quality keeps getting left behind for speed. This is not how a Cherry Limeade should ever be made, and it was a major disappointment.

    This just always seems to take forever to get your to go order and especially since they are only drinks. Two car arrived after me got served before me. This location it’s the slowest of all the locations I’ve ever been to so don’t stop here if you’re in a rush. I’m done going to this location. I’ll go out of my way to get a drink at another location . It was the closest.. Something about their sprite always taste off at this location. I order Ocean water almost every time.
