I love this sonic the people are great but this is the second time I have gotten coffee from here that has stuff floating in it.. this is not okay, this should not be served to people. There should always be a quality check.

This morning like every morning I went to Sonic to get my RT 44 drink of choice. On the weekends I usually get to see one of my favorite kids who at 16 has the best work ethic of anyone..

I JUST got home from here about 10 minutes ago. I picked up a mobile to go order. Upon getting home I find one of the more expensive items we ordered was not with our food. Tried calling them twice from 2 different numbers and after about 3 minutes of ringing each time we get a message that the “mobile number is not available”. Not sure what else I can do but just, I guess give this company my free money for nothing in return… Other than leaving a bombed review.

I now have a new favorite item at Sonic. Their steak sandwich was delicious! Happy service given with a smile and a song cannot be beaten! Thank you for a wonderful drive-in lunch.

Horrible! my tater tots were a day old not fully cooked I asked for barbeque popcorn chicken I got hard rock chicken and a 2 drops of barbecue sauce. I requested ranch I got marinara sauce. the evening crew sucks an need learn how to do your job other wise the government an sonic is wasting their money!

You need to instruct them on your food’s preparation, otherwise they slop it together. It’s a burger joint, not that hard to get it right, each and every time.

The tots I ordered where cold, drink wasn’t correct and the employees attitude sucks. Don’t roll your eyes because you forgot my drink.

HORRIBLE SONIC – HORRIBLE EMPLOYEES WITH TERRIBLE ATTITUDES! No unsweet tea at 7:30 PM! But don’t tell us. Try to give us sweet tea instead. Not the brightest.

Exac4ly what you would expect from fast food, as far as the food goes. Service is usually pretty good, staff seems friendly.
