    I've gone to the Sonic on S. 6th Street dozens of times and they have been so short staffed and I understand that but I just spent $40 to have my order incorrect AGAIN! It seems like every time my order has been incorrect.

    The food is pretty good, but the way they’re thrown together is kind of messy. Like they did it in a hurry.

    Employees will mark orders as "on its way" but will take at least another 10 minutes to deliver.
