    Suddenly has a new, weird drive thru setup where they have you pull forward and wait automatically for the food instead of them using the window, with signs leading up to it making it seem like this is the new normal. It made the drive through take longer than the cars that pulled up and parked, since they brought the food and then had to walk back in for the payment to process, going to each car that was there before going back in so they could bring food to multiple cars at a time. Just seemed odd instead of just saying driving thru unavailable, etc.

    This is the second recent time I’ve ordered a sandwich with fries. Both times the fries could not be eaten. They taste greasy like they have not changed the oil. The service was fine. The smash burger was good and is the reason for the two stars but bumme on the fries. Once I understand but it seems to be an ongoing issue. I will not return.

    Makayla made the best sonic blasts we’ve ever had from sonic! There were even toppings throughout the entire cup. She was very kind and quick with her service!😊

    I hate turning left out of this sonic. It needs its own happy hour traffic light lol. It's a good one though.
