The BLT I ordered was great! Lots of bacon! My favorite place to get a BLT quick. Drive thru was busy when I arrived but I didn’t wait longer than 5mins to get my food. Service was friendly as well. Would recommend this location.

Second time I have been to this location. The first time I didn’t even order because they were only accepting cash and not cards…that was about a month ago.

So this was always our “go to” Sonics because it was the closest. But a recent experience has made us boycott this location. During our last and final visit not only did they get our order wrong by adding mustard to both burgers we ordered even though I listed no mustard, sending cold mozzarella sticks, cold tots, and they included rotten lettuce on one burger to boot. When I tried to get a refund for the burgers (should’ve been for the entire order) I ordered I was told that since I ordered on the app that I could only get a replacement of the food. That was a definitive “NO” for me. I called the customer service center and was told that I would be given a gift card which to this day (some 3 weeks later) I haven’t received. Be very cautious of what you order at this location…these folks DO NOT CARE about customer satisfaction

The “system” has been down for two weeks at this location. No ordering on the app or paying by debit card. It’s cash only just be advised! A good time to check out other places for a while.

Update: several days ago they had no onion rings and same thing today. They are always either out of something or something isn’t working. No small cups! Had to get a medium shake and pay medium price! This happens all the time. At least they had shakes. Most of the time they don’t. Say they have to charge for medium. The staff needs some customer service training. Every trip to this place is an aggravation. Luckily there is a chick-fil-a right up the road. Oh, and please don’t waste your time and reply with your usual canned response.

Here we are once again, this location is consistently an absolute embarrassment to the brand and should be closed and demolished. At a little after 8:30 (in a store that is open til 11.) with 4 cars in the drive through in front of me. I am told I can’t order like they did because they are once again closing due to lack of staff.

Very I mean very slow service. Could have sat down at a casual dining restaurant as long as my food took. Once delivered the food was delicious.

I’ve been to this sonic for many years, and the service just continues to go down. They haven’t gotten my order correct in the last three times I’ve been, and make the laziest unmixed milkshakes every time.
