    This location has never been good but now it's even worse. Didn't even receive the kids toys and was not informed they were out. The drinks used to be good now they are watered down and taste weird. No real lime or strawberry in the drinks we ordered. My chicken sandwich tasted as though it was sitting under the heat lamp.

    The person that was serving me did not give me all my change back. When I ask about it, she looked at me like I was funny. That's not very funny. I told her she talked herself out of a tip. So if they keep the change they are stealing from the customer, not the thing to do

    They make the shakes wrong every single time, whatever you order, you'll never actually get what you order

    This Sonic in Rowlett is honestly one of the best ones I’ve been to. The staff is always super friendly and they get my order out quick, even when it’s busy. Food’s always hot and fresh, and my drinks are made just right every time. You can tell the team here actually cares about their customers. I come here a few times a week and they never disappoint. Definitely my go-to Sonic spot!
