    Whoever was on shift today 1/5/26 @11:10a needs to be fired. Literally was waiting for service and no help at all. When driving by all I saw was a lady just talking to someone else inside. I’ve seen a lot of issues with this place based on reviews and I should have known to still not go.

    Ordered 4 Blasts and 1 milkshake, and every single one was the consistency of milk—completely melted. Not to mention the very minimal toppings added that we paid extra for! Very disappointing, especially for the $35 price tag. I’m so tired of fast food restaurants charging top dollar while providing terrible quality.

    I just received my order 20 minutes after my expected pick up time and I had a single corn dog and a drink . The only answer I got was there is one person working right now so just wait. Having one person at lunch time is crazy. This is not the first time I have waited long past my pickup time.

    Isabel went out of her to fix the drink and shake that were made wrong. Our food was hot and fresh

    I don’t like to leave negative reviews but I had too. Ordered online and came to pick up my order and still waiting. Horrible I’m sorry. Get people that want to work and do the job right. Sorry sonic seems like all these fast food restaurants have gone down since this generation doesn’t care to work. Get people that have a passion to work. Sorry not sorry
