    We were there this past Friday 01/02/2026 and ordered 2 corn dogs, cheese tots, chicken bites & a cherry lime aid. We asked for lots of mustard because we use about 4 mustard packets per corn dog and we stressed the extra mustard twice. The guy taking our order kinda ignored us. The corn dogs were burnt and we got just 3 packets of mustard for 2 corn dogs. Now I know why I don’t go to Sonic very often. So disappointed.

    I received a Oreo Blast with something yellow in it. Both Limeade orders were wrong. I have been here on four different occasions and have yet to receive my order correctly. The yellow contamination in my child's ice cream is the deal breaker for me.

    I always pay for extra cherries in my drink and never get any, I select easy on the ice and always get a ton. They just straight up don't care. Today I ordered a cherry limade with no ice, was served a cup full of ice with just a little sprite in it.
