The word on Sonic Drive-In
Here's the word going around
I haven't been shorted a shake spoon here yet, so this is the diners' read, not mine.

By most accounts this is a tidy little Sonic on a good day: a clean patio, fast app check-in, and friendly, squared-away service. Reviewers single out slush and cheese sticks done right, and one even got offered a free drink for a hassle and just asked for an extra mint, because Sonic mints over that pebble ice genuinely hit different.
Where it falls down is the small stuff that isn't small: order a shake and half the time there's no spoon, and you can't drink a shake through a straw, with napkins a coin flip too. One night a clerk reportedly got sarcastic with a customer's wife over the tip, a fast way to lose a regular. Get the basics in the bag, the reviews say, and this place is solid.
Sonic mints over pebble ice that hit different? I'm in, just patting the bag down for a spoon first.
The Order
Reviewers point to a slush with the cheese sticks, and an extra mint, just confirm there's a spoon for any shake.
⚠ Gotcha
Check your bag for a spoon and napkins before you pull off, by several accounts. They go missing constantly.
That's the word on this one.
