When will i actually be able to order without going through the drive through?

You can order at drive up menu, drive thru or via mobile app.

Im not sure but the drive thru is not the best considering I've only been to a sonic 2 times and the 2nd time the food was burnt as well as it sounded like a kids play ground in there. Was told to HOLD ON in middle of placing my order just to hear all of them goofing off and acting as if they weren't at their place of employment... Not sure I'll go back Amanda, the 1st time I ever went there I did the same and it was better, that's why I wanted to go a 2nd time only the 2nd time we had to go thru the drive thru..

I ordered at the car hop stall about a week ago with no issue

Once more people get hired.
