    Well run member of this chain. Burgers were made exactly to order. Food was delivered quickly. The place doesn't have a lot of spaces, but the town is rather small.

    My husband wanted to stop at Starbucks to pick up a drink as we were traveling through but I advocated hard for Sonic flavored teas. I placed a mobile order but the app wouldn’t let me check in so I called. This is at 4:04 pm on a Sunday and there were no customers. The phone rang for over a minute straight and finally a lady answered. I explained the app wasn’t letting me check in and told her my name, order and which stall we parked in and she hung up on me. At 4:15 there were still no customers and no delivery of drinks. I pushed the button and the same lady answered and was incredibly rude again. I reminded her we are just waiting for teas on the mobile order. At 4:22 a kid walked out and we asked him about our order and he was kind enough to figure it out and at almost 4:30 we got our drinks. Perhaps this would be excusable if there were customers, large orders to process or an understaffed establishment but there were no cars there with customers in them, two people kept peeping out the window, two other people walked out giggling, then the kind young man that helped us. The point - if you’re looking for quick, go to the Bush’s or map out the next Buccees or Starbucks.

    They have really gone down hill on the smasher. Perhaps they ran out of bread? Still not a good way to treat a local

    Online app wouldn’t work and then it took 30 minutes to get food during lunch time.
