Sat waiting on a corndog and hamburger for over 30 minutes. This location is always extremely slow.

Husband and I stopped for two large drinks. Watched several staff at the window talking and looking up at screens…etc. We were the only ones in the drive thru. 4:50pm on 8/6. Waited at the window for a ridiculous amount of time for two drinks and no food. No one greeted us…or even acknowledged our presence. Ended up driving off. We own a drive thru. All staff would have lost their jobs today if we owned this business. Your Google rating is deserved. :(

From start to finish. Employee taking order sounded like he needs a job where customer service is not top priority, could definitely tell he did not want to be at work or as if he was inconvenienced having to do his job.
Where food came out quickly all employees who touched the order were not paying attention to details. 1 burger was suppose to have only mustard but still came with mayo. The 3 piece strip only came with 2 tenders and some scraps of I'm assuming nuggets to make up for a 3rd strip.
Then lets get to the part that couldnt be overlooked as busy and understanding. You open your BLT and you get a sandwich full of lettuce and barely 1 strip of bacon. Spoke to the manager Nathan who went silent after being asked "how would you like going to a restraurant spending $50 and getting home to that?" Yes I informed him I would not be trusting his location to fix the error and have been going to this location for almost 3 years. To never return Also advised he start checking his employees work.
At the end of the day none of the people working there would appreciate the lack of customer service nor the errors to their own meals.

Ordered ahead on the app. Had to wait over 25 minutes beyond the time the app said the food was supposed to be ready. Multiple customers were kept waiting. The workers seemed to be hurrying, but this was unacceptable. Even answering the stall call button took 4 minutes. I wish I had read the reviews before stopping, but we were passing through and hungry. It appears there have been complaints about how slow it is for months. Sonic has replied, but clearly the issue isn’t fixed.
