    The drive up self order menu didn't work. Pressed button and it would say please wait for order to be taken something like that. No one came on. We tried 3 more times nothing. But others that pulled in after us were getting there orders taken right away. So we decided to just go through the drive thru. So we sat there for a while too then realized the menu is different from the other one. Then we ordered and then told that the stuff on the drive thru menu thry don't have anymore! Then take it off Sonic! So we ordered other stuff. We'll we get our food and sit in the car and I realize everyone got there food but Mr. I only had my drink. So I checked the receipt and they never put my food I n ordered in. So I had to go in and then stand in line behind a big family for like 10 mins. I FINALLY got to order my chicken sandwich and fries then sat for another 15 mins to wait for it. And after all that it was nasty! I did not like the food at all no flavor to the chicken. My son and his ftiend said there burgers were not all that Sonic is cracked up to be. The restaurant had 1 cashier, 1 server on skates that was it. The place was dirty. For the high prices they charge the food should be better. The one I went to in South Carolina was much better. I will not go to any Sonic around here anymore!

    I love Sonic but this is the absolute worst location I've been to. I've ordered burgers three times and the buns are always wet like they spit in them.

    My order was complicated and fairly lengthy. At every step from the time I got to the counter to put my order in until I left every step went smoothly. All of the employees, from the general manager straight through, were pleasant and helpful. My order was made correctly and all the food was delicious. Will definitely visit this Sonic location again soon.

    I never write reviews and I never usually have bad experiences at places. But this crew definitely forgot my ticket. Okay story goes, my friends and I walk in around 10 pm and no one was in there. Drive through maybe had one or 2 cars. My friend orders first, then me and then my other friends. My first friend gets her food… not me yet, okay… then my other friends get their food. Okay no worries just waiting… then the guy that ordered 20 minutes after me got his food… then i proceeded to say something to the worker and she said they got busy. I TOTALLY understand about business, you get busy. I worked in a mom and pop fast food place. But then a guy that ordered half hour after me got his food!!!!!! So we said something again and she honestly just said it got busy and I’m sorry honey, I tried to get her to admit they lost my ticket and totally forgot my order, and no one wanted to admit it. If you’re in good service, please just admit it if something happens please don’t lie to me! After the 35-40 minutes of waiting they brought the food and gave me a BOGO coupon, definitely using it at the other locations. Sorry peeps. I sure they got frantic and deal with people like this and even worse people, but I was hangry and it wasn’t flying with me at this time. Ps: if you’re a big food corporation and didn’t really want to refund me my $13 and still give me my food and that’s some corporate greed.
