Mr. LaBove
Absolutely surprised by this location.
No carhop service, probably due to the physical state of the coverd spaces.
Next, the food…. A burnt chicken sandwich. I could taste the charred surface of the chicken. It was absolutely disgusting. The tots….soggy and oddly chewy…similar to gum almost. Next…the long wait. I was the only one in the drive thru.
Really what gives. Its one thing to have a location that appears to be run down a bit. However, couple that with the slow service and horrendous state of my food speaks miles for staff, both floor and management.
They only thing that was spot on was the cherry-limeade.
Last.. no recipt for my purchase.
( I though it was inside the bag)

With no cars ahead of me at 7:30 pm at night, I ordered a burger and fries. This is what Sonic does …makes burgers. Can’t screw that up….right? Wrong! With no other customers in sight, they handed me a completely uncooked burger that was ice cold. I called and the Managers only response was “ Do you want a refund?”. Not even an apology. Never going again.

The food here is always fresh, but the service at this Sonic location is consistently slow. They seem to be struggling with limited staff. Hopefully, they can resolve their staffing issues soon.

This location seems to only use its drive thru which is annoying because depending on the time of day depends on yoyr wait time. Seems they can only focus on one order at a time yet they still have issues with getting your order right. Definitely check your food before leaving their window. Don’t feel rushed because there’s a line behind you.

If I could give negative stars i definitely would. The last three times I have used mobile pick up I end up getting my food 20 minutes after the estimated pick up time. Today I literally had a drink and a little snack rap and it still came out 15 minutes after my arrival time. They have one single car hop that is running all the food and there was only 2 cars in the parking lot. Do better sonic!

The fries I ordered were the worst I’ve ever had-ever. If I said they tasted like they were fried twice it would be a complement; They tasted like they were fried twice yesterday, then fried twice again today. If a zero-star rating were possible, I’d have given it. Don’t waste your time or your money here.

Iowa Sonic…do better!!!
The blonde girl working there needs a serious attitude adjustment and as a business owner myself, I would NEVER allow someone with that attitude near my business.
Called the police on me because they did not give me my coke that I paid for. When I parked and went to the door for it, I was greeted with eye rolls and poor comments. I asked her if she wanted to do that again and she said “what are you going to do about it”. When I went to move my car because where I was parked was blocking people and I returned to the door to get my drink, I was approached with “you’re tresspassing and I’m on the phone with the cops”. That being said I still did not have my coke and wanted to wait for the cops so that I was not reported and claimed to be running from the situation.
She was also being rude and hateful to an employee because the girl went to use the restroom and told her she had to leave for the day. WOW!
According to the Iowa police department this is a common occurrence with this young girl!
That being said, a disrespectful teenager has put a ban on me from returning to the Iowa sonic. INSANE, but the police told me Arbys has some pretty good cheese sticks and good customer service!

Good food just amazingly slow! Prices are a tad bit higher than other places.
Last night we went to sonic got an oreo blast. Look at the pictures, we ordered large but the blast did not even come close to the top that clear plastic thing was a waste.
Sonic you may not being increasing prices but you are skimping on the servings. Shame on yall.
3/2/23 ordered online easy, picked up order, ordered onion rings, the bag literally had 5 rings and it was a large order and let’s call it extra crispy. Again Sonic you disappointed us again. Am lowering my rating.

Ordered on line, gave them 30 minutes to prepare now I know I’m not their only customer but I drive up at my appointed time to wait 15 minutes for girl to come out and tell me they were out again on an item we ordered, asked what I would like to substitute, then had to wait another 15 to 20 minutes for it to be cooked. I want to support our local business but it’s getting harder to do.

RUDE. WRONG PORTIONS. DISCOURTEOUS
Manager on Duty absolutely rude. Immediately defensive and argumentative when addressing concern for the food I had issues with. I was literally given a handful of pieces of nothing but breading. Regional Manager notified. Complaint filed. Retraining in customer relations seems necessary.
