I knew this wasn’t going to be a good experience when i pulled up and majority of the employees were outside talking to a person in another car. It took forever for someone to come to the intercom to take the person’s order in front of me. Then when it was my turn I swear ai had to repeat my order 5 times. Got to the window and they made my sons drink wrong. Got the food and the fries were hard and dry. My son said his were good, but o wasn’t about to eat mine. I told the younger guy that my fries was too hard and he said that he would have them drop more and bring them out to me so i pulled info the first spot. Less than a minute later, an older man came to my car window to hand me another bag with fries. Literally looked like the same fries that i complained about if they were fresh out the grease it would have been hot. Definitely threw them out the window. It’s been years since I’ve been to this particular sonic and today reminded me why. Will never EVER be back 👎🏾. If i could leave 0 stars I would

I had ordered 3 junior double cheeseburgers, tots and a small coke. The buns for all three burgers were really dry and hard and not fresh like it had been left out and just tossed the burgers together. The tots tasted like they were not fresh either. I had pulled into stall number 5 and pushed the red button twice to get my order taken before someone finally took my order. They came out to my car and said they had put it in like I was in the drive thru. The other customers eating at the outside dining tables were very lively and friendly though so the atmosphere was good but tye food and service were terrible

Just tried to go eat at sonic the service was absolutely dismal at best. They told us they were only taking drive thru orders then preceeded to take another person's order who was not in the drive thru. When we tried the drive thru they told us there were not taking orders at all. We were eventually able to order and were offered no explanation. Will not be returning also witnessed an employee smoking near the dumpsters and it was not tobacco iykyk
