The last 6 years I've been in Dayton i have tried this Sonic periodically. Each time thinking oh my gosh how could they mess this up. Went tonight to get chili cheese dogs instead of burgers. A foot long and a 6 inch. I also ordered a large coke easy ice with vanilla. For starters, the drive thru window ordering station needs to be tore down and gotten rid of. They can never hear you. Pull straight to the window don't even waste your breath yelling cause it won't work for echoing reasons or whatever they say as an excuse. I ordered at the window per carhop's request. Ordered my food. I double checked that she got the easy ice in the coke. She confirmed yes. The coke has more than half a cup of ice. The 6 inch hot dog is either very very very overcooked or just very old. See the picture..g

Order was not correct she couldn't hear us to take the order correctly then we repeated it five times still got an inaccurate order and then on the corn dogs we asked for ketchup and mayonnaise they didn't put that in there we had to wait to get that it's just a horrible location the drinks taste disgusting very unprofessional staff. The corn dogs tasted horrible like they were cooked in old grease.🤮🤮🤮. Tried calling the store for 30 minutes with no answer and there was nobody there they were waiting on we were the only ones in the Drive-Thru except for the car in front of us that tore out of there because they were mad

I tried calling to discuss the issue but they won’t answer. Just bought a burger from here and the top bun is crispy and hard. I just don’t understand. So now I have no top bun for my burger. Tots was barely warm also.

This Sonic needs serious improvement. My food came out cold and poorly prepared, the service was slow and unorganized, and the atmosphere didn’t feel welcoming at all. I expected better quality and consistency.

Waist of time and money trying to give this location a chance. Made an online order, after an hour waiting in line I gave up trying to get it. I personally watched a dozen or more potential customers drive off after wait just to get service. The only reason I waited as long is because they already had my money. This location should just be closed down.
