Customer service is herendous. Pulled up to speaker box in drive thru and someone mumbled something and I had to ask them to repeat. They then said ” be with you in a few minutes.” Finally after 7 minutes I asked them if they are ready for the order, and the mumbling girl said ” It’s going to be another five minutes.” I asked them what the hold up is, and she never answered, so we drove off. Terrible service. Hire more help, and replace the zombie working in drive thru!!!!!!

They gave me the wrong milkshake, and then argued with me that it was not the wrong one when I ordered Oreo and it obviously had zero Oreo bits. The employee helping us asked extremely personal questions about me and my partners clothing, where we are going, and the nature of our relationship. We are an LGBT couple, and were asked if we were best friends or siblings. I usually am unbothered but the way they spoke to me was so uncomfortable, inappropriate, and unprofessional that I had to leave a review and I rarely do.

SLOW & WORST SERVICE!!!! Took my kids for what I thought was “fast food” and a treat. It took 30 minutes to get a shake, sundae, tater tots AND they messed up on my order and didn’t give me the fries I ordered. I was too irritated to stay any longer and get what I paid for. I even unfortunately tipped before I realized how awful service was going to be. NEVER GOING BACK HERE AGAIN!!!

You have to wait 30 mins to get your food no matter what you get so you’d think it’d be fresh but no it’s cold every time. I regret coming every time I eat there. I wish they would close it and put something worth eating there.

I only got a bag of ice and a cup of ice but I had to wait forever at the speaker only for them to say tell me ur order when u get to the window, I went ahead n said I just need a bag of ice and a cup of ice thinking it’s easy and fast to do so why make another customer wait for nothing racking up ur drive-thru time, but no again she said tell us ur order at the window. Ridiculous thing!! I then waited approximately another 15-20 mins if not more cuz I was 3 cars back in line. Again I say straight Ridiculous!

This place is horrible. I was trying to let her know my order was wrong and she couldn’t hear me because someone was power washing the sidewalk beside me. She came out and said there was absolutely nothing wrong with my sandwich. I ordered a single and this was a double. It was the biggest mess. She laughed at me and said she was absolutely not going to have my food remade and gave me some napkins. She finally took it back and brought me what I ordered however she was rolling her eyes and shaking her head at me the whole time. The sandwich wouldn’t even go together and there was mustard and ketchup all over the inside of the bag because it was such a mess.

It’s very close to my house, and I go about once a year. They always remind me why I don’t go more. If the burger is warm at all, it’s not enough to be warm half way through eating. Fries taste like they were made the day before. The only thing good are drinks and ice cream.

1.The master shake is not a blast. No need to argue when I’m reading it straight from the menu.

I will never go back to this Sonic! Ordered large onion rings when order came only had about 7 small onion rings. Ordered 2 cheese burgers with lettuce, tomato, onion and mustard only. The girl that took the order could not understand that was all we wanted so we ended up getting everything on our burger and that was not our choice. Staff was very rude and did not know about any specials. So this is the last $20.00 that Sonic will steal from me.
