I decided to use the drive-thru, and when I got my food, they had forgotten the cheese on my cheeseburger. To make matters worse, there were no milkshakes available that day. The fries were decent, but overall, my time there was underwhelming, especially considering they couldn't even get a regular cheeseburger right. Not impressed.

After tasting the food, I can honestly say it was the worst fast food experience I've ever had—though the hot fudge sundae was a small saving grace. Overall, it was really disappointing.

This time, a young girl drove up behind me in the drive-thru. The young man working there appeared to know her or had some interest in her, as he walked over to her window twice to deliver her order while I remained in my spot. In the end, she pulled around me and drove off. All in all, I have no intention of returning to this restaurant.

This is the third time in a month this has happened. I've finally learned my lesson—the food here is worse than 7-11.

The tater tots, fries, burgers, hot dogs, and even the breakfast burritos all fall just short of being good. The ice cream is alright, but that’s about the only decent item. This isn’t just an issue with this location either—I’ve found that Sonic, in general, has underwhelming recipes. Nearly everything I've tried at various Sonic locations has been pretty bland.
