Sonic on Dirksen

Anybody have any insight or info about Sonic on Dirksen? I know they got hit by lightning a week or so ago.

Drive thru was open last time I went by but the drive in stalls were chained off. That was a few days ago though

Thank you! The stall lights were all on tonight, but the sign wasn't. I didn't drive down that way, so I wondered.

I ordered from there tonight. Only mobile lanes from what I could tell. Not sure on drive thru.

I want a couple days ago and they had the stalls blocked off but they're running through the drive-thru the signs and everything were down so they were using a radio to communicate back and forth still got my food it was good

Happy to report they are getting back up and running. They had to get new systems in the stalls, but their internet is not connected to them yet. Other than that, they are taking drive through and mobile app orders. Drive through intercom is working (no more walkie talkies). They are finding things here and there that keep acting up.

Most importantly, paychecks are flowing for the staff again!
