    Food was delicious. The only thing is that it took 30 minutes before they took our order and then another 15 for the food. For there to be only 4 cars the whole time we were there.

    I got a blue raspberry lemonade when I went to take a drink of it I tasted coconut it wouldn’t have been so bad if I wasn’t allergic so that was an 11$ drink waisted. I also couldn’t do anything since we drove 30 minutes back home.

    Pulled into a stall since the drive through looked a little busy. Hitting the button on the stall we sat in silence for about 10 minutes. As we went to leave we saw the drive through had emptied out and assumed the stalls were broken. The one car in front of us shouted how they guessed nobody was around and drove off. We then sat in slience again. At this point sunk cost had won and we kept waiting instead of following the lead and leaving. We "needed" our Strawberry Horchta slushies. Somehow we placed the order and pulled up to the window after another 10 minutes. More silence and no acknowledgent. More time passing next to the overstuffed trash cans. Eventually somebody showed up to take our cash and hand us our drinks. I'm not even sure if the vaguely strawberry shake thing we received was the correct item, but it was extremely mid and ruined by the horrid wait and service.

    If I could leave zero stars I would. Was told in the drive through that they would take my order in just a moment. 30 minutes later and nothing. I pulled forward and the employee was incredibly rude and slammed the door in my face after I politely asked if she could take my order.

    The only thing that was alright out of our visit was that out order was correct. My girlfriend got the #4 SuperSonic burger. We waited in line for about 15-20 min probably as cars piled behind us. I thought, "Oh yeah, they're just butchering the cow quick. This will be fresh." We waited and waited, and my gf finally got her food. We hit the interstate, she opens her burger with a gleam in her eye, she takes a big ol bite...it's cold. We waited all that time for our food to be cold. Cold fries, cold burger, but hey at least our drink was cold like it was supposed to be. Probably won't be returning.
