    This was the last time we will come here. The past 4 times they have messed up the order, food was cold, refused to put the sauces in the bag, and they have extremely rude customer service. It worth driving further for a different Sonic.

    I've been here a couple times in the past week and both times the man at the drive-thru was very unprofessional. I am unsure if he is the manager. The 1st time I just ordered French toast sticks and there was no syrup or straw in the bag. The second time I ordered an ultimate breakfast burrito with everything on it. There was only egg and sausage. I am very disappointed in this location. This used to be a hot spot for a nice hangout. Now its just trashy and I dont want to go back

    The service at this Sonic is beyond terrible!!!! So unprofessional! I had to leave because of the time it was taking to get my drink and wrap. When I called to make sure they knew and ask about my refund, I was hung up on. I called back, surely that was an accident, nope. I was hung up on again! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!
