Closes ~15 minutes earlier than posted time repeatedly. If it’s an issue to take orders until 10pm, I’d post that you close at 9:45. Any other time I go, the experience is just as it’s supposed to be: Very responsive and on high average, correct order. But going within 20 minutes of closing, you may risk sitting there for 15 with the red button on until they tell you there’s only 5 minutes left. I’ve been there with red button on for 10+ minutes and the lights turn off on us in the past. Everything about this place is great except near closing. I know the atmosphere near closing time is tense, but it’s turning away local people who frequent the restaurant.

Loved in Columbia my whole life…. This use to be a place where you didn’t have to check your bag before you drove off because they always got it right. Definitely not the same anymore. 5 piece chicken strip dinner, only 3 in there. The white gravy was basically water. Asked for limes in my water… got lemons. And these people want 15 dollars and hour and can’t provide basic fast food correctly.

Several of the stalls do not work and no one has put a sign up, so there is a lot of maneuvering from one stall to another in a tight parking lot before being able to order. This Sonic is very popular and often busy. Regardless of the time of day, it takes a hot minute to get someone to take your order, but usually, it’s not too bad of a wait. Carhops are always nice. On this visit, it took more than 15 minutes to place an order for 2 large fountain drinks. It took 10 more to get them delivered. This is the longest I’ve ever waited for drinks, even when ordering 5 or more. I will visit again, but I won’t wait that long to place an order again.

Food is sub par for the prices. It’s like there food fell off a few years back and has been on the decline since. The staff is great, always smiling and helpful. The stalls on the other hand are falling apart. Screens work in some and not in others and people just continue to tear things up. This town doesn’t take pride in anything anymore. Just destroy and move on to the next…

This is a good Sonic, can’t say that about all sonics though, like the Sonic in Walker Louisiana totally sucks!!! I give this one 5 stars , for good food and good service.

Csrhops are more efficient with their speed; but their people skills are low. 2/5 of them I usually get, are great though. The others, not so much. It’s like they just want to throw your food in the car, and some have a bad attitude. I’ve came to the point of just saying “you don’t have to read it” just so they can go away; however for my 2 carhops I love seeing their outgoing customer interaction; I always try to tip them $5 to $10 when I have the cash on me.
