Do not give your business to this location! Every time I’ve gone here I am left waiting for 30-60 minutes even on nights where I’ve only seen two or three other cars. After waiting for 30-60 minutes, every time my order has come out wrong or with items missing, and then I have had to wait 20-30 more minutes for them to fix it. When talking to the employees about the issues with your order or the time you’ve been waiting, they are apathetic at best. Normally I’d assume they’re understaffed but it’s becoming clear that there is a major issue in training here. Take your business to literally anywhere else.

I love sonics..but not this one. The service at this place is most of the time messed up. The stalls are narrow, the drive through usually not working but they don't tell you it is broken, and you wait for a long time to get help. I want to like this sonic but this one just seems plagued with staffing problems over the years and what not, It is like a 50/50 gamble if it will go fine or if I will end up driving away because of no help after 15 minutes of waiting. I understand things happen sometimes but this sorta thing happens here too often, so often that I try to avoid it now.

Drive through services lack the ability to pay attention to a simple order. Basically had to reorder at the window. After correcting the order a 2nd time I lost trust in the product and left

This place is marked 1 star on my list, would be zero, but I had to choose a star to leave a review. Management, AJ, does not take time to deal with customer concerns no matter how we try to address it. We can call, and he'll have his employees talk for him very briefly and short. When he says he'll call back he does not nor does he give out his personal cell to contact him with our issues. We also showed up to the restaurant physically and he will still only talk through his 1 employee that has to do all the work. He never talks directly to you. When calling asking for him, he'll once again have his employee talk for
him and ask us to call another time, even though he is there he will say he isn't
. It's only obvious his employees are answering for him because you can hear him telling them what to say. Not sure who else to contact for issues
management is very poor.

Delicious footlong coneys and slushies! All around great food at a good price. A unique menu with tons of good options. Service can be a little slow, but it’s worth it.

Don’t waste your time. I’m the only car here, ordered just a drink and sat here for 20 minutes. Had to go up to the kitchen to ask what’s going on and they all stand there looking at me like I’m crazy. Drink was sitting on their counter the whole time.

Whatever you do avoid this place after like 9pm it’s ran by a bunch of kids that have no clue what they are doing! Sat and waited 39 minutes for two cars ahead of me the conversion time has to drive the owner crazy! How is this place profitable with these kids running this place at night!? I don’t even come here to eat I come to pick up orders for delivery and man these people are the slowest in the entire city! Note to the owner play undercover boss and come see your business being drained! I just had an order for a sonic blast and it took over 35 minutes and only two cars shared of me! I would be furious if I owned this business!!! Worst service and turn around time I’ve ever seen! It’s Tuesday!! Imagine the weekend wow lol horrible
