They put a LOT of veggies on the sandwich -- we really appreciated that. When you don't eat meat you'd like something substantial on your sandwich besides lettuce. We keep going back for lunch sandwiches because they're so good and the service is great.

Typical Sonic, after all, they're a chain. But local management is at fault for staff that does not pay attention to detail ... check your order before you leave. We've found over time that more than 1/2 our orders are either wrong or incomplete. As far as Sonic brand issues, not just local issues ... their hot dogs cost the same as always, but have just in the last few days been massively downsized ... to about the diameter of your little finger ... still served in the same sized bun as before. Looks like an extra small body in a 5Xl jacket .. it's laughable it's such an obvious travesty. Hate - HATE - it when people try to trick the customer. At least McDonald's is consistent & doesn't insult you by playing games. End result??? - only go to Sonic when you crave something McDonalds doesn't offer ... like for hot-dogs. But, from above, Sonic'a blown that advantage.

This is the nicest Schlotzsky's I have ever been to. The management and staff is great--very friendly and efficient. The food always delivers - fresh and yummy. If you go at lunch time, be prepared to wait a bit (though it's worth it!) You can also get a Cinnabon and/or TCBY yogurt while there.
