I could bang the popcorn chicken on my counter. It stank like it was very old and had been re-fried at least once.

This particular location left us with the idea that nobody really cares. The building and grounds were run down and dirty.

Went to Sonic pushed the button to order only 1 other car was there and it was leaving waited 20 minutes NO ONE TOOK OUR ORDER!! Another car came in and they took their order real quick and they joked around with them I guess they knew them. I guess if you’re a known customer you come before someone out of town. WILL NOT GO BACK TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT.

Horrible experience, don’t even waste your time. Employees are rude and we tried to order 3 different times. Hung up on us while we tried to order for the third time and wouldn’t reply to our questions when she told us we couldn’t order a shake. They’re racist because I saw so many white people ordering shakes ahead of us and getting them. TRASH PLACE.

Went to Sonic, pulled in and rang the buzzer. The girl knew we was there as she walked by several times. After about 8 minutes rang the buzzer again and never did we get waited on so we moved to the drive-thru. Pulled up and waited over ten minutes and we never did get waited on so we left. There were other cars and people eating and it was only 7 pm.

Awful experience, went here 30 prior to closing, thru the main drive thru, did not answer for 5 minutes. Then pulled around to the window and was told I couldn’t order food only drinks.

A girl there named Justine was very rude and made racial comments tward us after we had pulled up to the drive through and we had asked what was the new item on the menu she proceded to say something after and we could not understand her ask her to repeat herself and she ignored us we asked a few times and nothing so we pulled up to the building and hit the button to make our order we start telling her and she told my bf not to be rude and he wasn’t being rude at all she proceeds to ask his name he tells her it is not any of her business why his name was and she threatened us and said I’ll just come out there then and walks up to our window continuing with the threats so we start leaving and she yells more racist stuff across the parking lot at us! Why people like this are allowed to work anywhere is beyond me.

Was not very happy with the food. Eat here every other week on Friday night and usually very good. Today ordered the chili cheese footlong and hot dog was burnt on the bottom and couldn’t cut through it. Was very hard.
