    Honestly I don't know where to begin. Went to the Sonic in Sulphur Springs, TX, ordered through the app, and waited probably 40 minutes before a carhop finally came out to tell us that the ice cream machine was broken and offered us slushes instead. We didn't want slushes, plus there is a significant price difference, so we declined, another 10 minutes go buy and they cannot issue a refund for our ice cream so I suggested a giftcard instead to try to make it easier. Another 10 minutes goes by and they cannot issue a giftcard because their machine is down, but offer us milkshakes instead. Seeing that was our only option and we have already sat there for an hour, we accepted despite the still large price difference. Finally we get home and they have forgotten items from our order, as well as got our other drinks wrongs.

    Rude employees almost everytime I go. Have repeatedly ignored me while trying to order from the parking lot. HAVE to almost always use use the parking lot to order because they routinely shut down the drive through. Recently went though and was hung up on before I was finished ordering, then had the nerve to charge for cherry flavoring in my drink even though they added no syrup flavor and instead added a single cherry. Dog-water staff and service, should probably avoid.

    We went there today about 10:03am and I found a long black hair in my food. They aren't wearing hair nets like they are supposed too

    Consistently every time we come here the service is bad. No attention to detail. My order was wrong and they forgot about our drinks and when we told them we still sat for another 10 min. They had maybe 3 other vehicles ordering so definitely not busy enough for the bad service. Every time I have been the service gets worse. Unsure if it’s the age of the employees or just flat out not caring and taking pride in what you do. For how long we waited it was almost worth driving to a different sonic.
