    This sonic is garbage. Do not eat here. I live less than a block away so i've attempted it probably ten times an every single time i've been to that location there's been a situation. One night, I walked over there and sat down at the table and ordered, and forty five minutes went by and nothing. I watched cars in the drive through come and go and all I ordered was a route forty four cherry lime made and two frito burritos. Me and my brother-in-law went 1 day and went through the drive through. And we sat at that speaker for 10 minutes, and nobody came to it to take our order. So we pulled forward to the window, and there was some young manager who was a young white guy.I don't remember his name, but he had kind of curly hair i want to say his name was like gage or something like that, well, when we pulled forward to the window, he was in there wrestling with another employe. And then when my brother in law got upset about it, the manager actor like he was in the wrong for getting upset that he waited for ten minutes with no help. Most of the time when I go up there. It's in the evenings, and it's the same manager, and you can't get no help cause they're too busy partying or closing early, or saying they're out of everything. Utter trash until they change that staff up there. I stand on what I say and it is bad bad bad. It says something about the locations owner that they allow that to keep going on.Because I know for a fact, there's no way i'm the only complaint.

    Went to get a Big Meal Deal for $7. I guess it would be a deal if you like COLD hamburgers...the center of the hamburger was literally cold Will not be going back.

    Can't rate the food, because I can't say I got any given the wait time. I showed up around 1:50ish. I sat in stall 8 and pressed the button 4 times (it timed out all 4 times.) No one even acknowledged me. So I figured maybe it's the stall. So, I backed out and backed down to stall 5 (button timed out twice). I look in the windows and there is 1 employee and she is trying her damn best. She gets through at least 9 cars in the drive thru. So I back out and try the drive thru. All in all my visit took over 30 minutes before I got food. Poor sweet Amy was by herself with just a cook. She was busting her ass with no help. She definitely deserves more money, and this location needs more staff, or they need to close.

    Restaurant was seemingly completely abandoned at 2:00 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon. No one was taking orders in the drive-thru, no employees were visible in the store, no one was at the drive-thru window, no one was answering for people that were in the stalls. All the lights were on in the restaurant and there were no signs indicating that they were temporarily closed or anything. Based on other reviews, seems like this is a common experience. Crazy!!! Luckily, I hadn't placed an online order. I had tried this location one time previously and should have learned after that visit not to come back, but certainly won't be back again.

    I live 2 minutes away so its convenient. Ive went 6 or 7 times and every single time its a bad experience. The first time we waited in the drive through at the speaker for over 5 minutes and finally pulled forward and seeing that they were busy wrestling. 2 male employees were wrestling like little kids and then I wanted to get an attitude with us because we were aggravated. Another time me and a friend. I went up there and sat for forty five minutes and finally left. I even went in and said something to them about it. And cars that were coming through the drive through after we got there, were already getting their food and leaving, and we're still sitting there. Basically every visit i've made to that location has ended up along the same type of lines as the other two visits. It's all about the service because you cannot hardly get help up there and they do not care.
