    Look, I read the other reviews, too. And far be it from me to say that what I *believe* about…read moretheir experience, and what they *experienced* about their experience should even be in the same sentence... but I will offer that those folks made the biggest Tragic Error that can be made at Sonic: They ordered food. Sorry Charlie, there's no excuse. Sonic is a dessert place, and any attempts to purchase a burger or any iteration of a fried potato here is an exercise in frustration and futility. It doesn't matter if there's bacon or cheese or BBQ sauce or liquid Bitcoin on the food-- it just doesn't compare to pretty much every other fast food joint you could think of. So why the four star review? Three reasons: 1. This place does ice cream shakes well. They make a good Sonic Blast here, and they didn't skimp on the add-ins. Ordering ice cream on vacation for three kids and an ice-cream-loving bride can backfire in a hurry if you screw it up. Thankfully, this Sonic drive thru didn't. 2. Close to my motel. Like, across the street from the el Cheapo Holiday Inn Express we stayed at on our roadtrip to Carlsbad Caverns last New Years. I could have walked, but why? 3. Service was great. OK, so there was someone in front of me in line in a "classic 70s Aunt-Car" who must have ordered 65 ice cream cones or something, because the gal working the window literally walked out to my car while I was still second in line... and this was after she did the same thing to the car in front of me while I was third. Brought me my change, gave me my desserts, smiled, wished me a nice evening... what a doll! Whatever this place doesn't seem to do for the locals with the order stalls they more than made up for at at the Drive Thru line. And the next morning, when we were leaving for SoCal, that damned car was still at the order window! (OK, not really, but it just seemed like it would have been.) Anyway, what have we learned? Ice Cream: Good. Food: Bad. Now you know. And knowing is half the battle! Geeeee Ayyyy Joooooeeeeeee.

    It took 39 minutes to get a small 3 person order. Then gentleman who took our order could not hear…read morethrough the speaker. I had SCREAM and he still couldn't understand. Girl finally came out with food. My husband gave gave her $40 for $26 and some change order. She just smiles and walks away!!!! My husband had to hit the button after waiting a few minutes to be like where's our money and we are missing a grilled cheese. Guy said on its way out. Just the girl comes with the money about " I had to get change." Then you need to tell us that sweetie. Also she had no idea we were missing a grilled cheese and went back in for it. We waited another 5 and directed. Worst fast food service EVER owner should really evaluate his establishment and the way it is being ran. You're loosing money everyday I'm sure for simple fixes.
