No one in any stalls. Only 2 cars in drive thru. Took 20 mins to get my online order. They marked it as on the way out 5 mins after I got there. After all the new cars that pulled up after me and one was a large order I had to stop someone and ask about my food. She went in and checked. 4 mins later she came back and said my order was lost for a second.

Paid 10 bucks for 2 corndogs and fries. Food was cold when I got it, and the corndogs weren’t very good. Gonna be honest – I would get better corndogs and better prices from a gas station… so I can’t say I really reccomend it

To say that the size of this ice cream was a disappointment is an understatement. Let alone their prices for the other ice creams are expensive I at least expect to get my money’s worth. When I tell you I have never wanted to Karen a business before till this moment I am not lying! I spent almost 8 DOLLARS!!! On two hot fudge sundaes! At that price I expect the cow to be milked fresh daily and the ice cream mixed by hand!! They are lucky that McDonald’s in town has a broken ice cream maker!! If you want to be robbed of every penny for below mediocre food knock yourself out!! It is that last time I am paying that!!

They messed up one of our items in our order which was no big deal. We politely and nonchalantly asked to exchange it for what we ordered. Lady came out asked for the item back that we didn’t order. Made a spectacle of throwing it away in front of us and then as she was on her way back inside she let out this horrendous scream like a toddler for all to hear. Thanks! We won’t be back!

It’s no secret that sonic in California MO has been garbage for a while because they can in this small community. Today was exceptionally horrible I ordered 2 route 44 cranberry limeades both with no ice one with extra cranberry A hot fudge sundae a caramel sundae extra caramel and a large peanut butter Oreo shake.
Carhop brought my food and gave me my items I asked which limeade had extra cranberry and she seriously shrugged her shoulders turned and walked away. I got home and found the sundaes less than half full and also a pulled pork sandwich with extra bbq sauce it had almost no sauce and less than half of a portion of meat that was dried out in a stale bun.
This location has always been bottom of the barrel but today was the worst

There was a huge piece of hair in my food. Is it that much to ask for staff to wear hairnets?? Will not be returning

Chili cheese dog was supposed to have onions on it and it didn’t. Ordered 2 route 44 sweet teas and Bree brought our order out to us and we sipped them and they were both unsweetened tea. Pressed the red button right away to let them know it wasn’t the right thing and was told it would be a while because they’re making sweet tea. I said okay no problem, already paid for it so was willing to wait. She said the total price and I said I already paid and received the wrong thing. Bree came out again and said $7.57. I told her I already paid for it and that they gave us the wrong thing. Had the unsweetened ones ready for her to take back and she acted bothered by it. She didn’t apologize at all, demanded a receipt and I was way more friendly than she was even though I didn’t need to be at this point. The only thing that was made right were the southwest fries. She then said, “are you sure it said sweet?” Acted like I, the customer, was dumb. And acted like she didn’t just give us the wrong thing less than 5 minutes ago. Acted like I didn’t pay for anything. Glad I had a receipt. Then she said after being shown the receipt that it was the new people’s fault.
Work on apologizing and believing your customers. Not coming back to this sonic. When the other sonics mess up, they apologize and give coupons to accommodate your time. Not this one. Never fixed the chili dog either. Which was theft because I had to pay for onions to be added to it. Also said easy ice and it was in the mobile order app so they can’t read obviously and the drinks were fully loaded with ice.

My boyfriend & I love to get drinks from Sonic even if we get our meals from another place, so we are here multiple times a week. I’ve lived in California for about a year now, consistently ordering from this location for that whole time, and I’ve never had a less than perfect experience here. The drinks are always perfect, food is always yummy and made correctly, service is always fast, and the carhops are always kind. As a service worker myself, I know how stressful it can be and how tough it can be to keep a smile on your face in a huge rush/under a lot of pressure, but y’all never disappoint. Thank you all for providing great service!!!

I got the Strawberry Mangonada slush over the weekend. The picture has the real strawberries in it, but they just put the artificial strawberry slush with the mango slush in it. For $3 that is a total ripoff. I also ordered it with a meal, and they rang the Burger, fries, and drink up all separate so it cost as much as possible. I’m not at all impressed.

No problems with the service, and the food came in a timely fashion. Chicken sandwich lacked flavor and the bun was tough, and the lettuce had a soapy taste. Tots were good though a bit cold. Onion rings and cheddar bites ordered later were amazing, hot and delicious! And the limeade was great as always. Meal really wasn’t worth $20 though.
