Enjoyed a quick bite on our way home from a flight. We ordered a chicken sandwich and cheeseburger that was made to order. The best part was half off drinks with the app deal. Since it is the holidays they had they best peppermint bark Brownie milkshake that was amazing! It was very quiet since we were traveling late at night. The staff were very nice and helpful. The prices were what you would expect when buying fast food.

This has become one of my favorite places to stop at. The staff are very friendly and the food is very hot and fresh. I would have given the food a 5 star but the fries were cooked a little too long this time.

We decided to eat out for a change and took a risk to try sonic once more. We received fast( I’m not kidding when I say this) service…the food was hot and fresh. Couldn’t believe it, so I questioned jokingly if that was really our order. Even though they were busy, we still received polite and nice, customer service. They forgot the juice for our kids meal. After pressing the button, we got splendid service and the juice was on board. Great job!

Don’t use the app here and dont order if you have any time restrictions. Ordered one meal on the app at 5:36pm in the parking lot. Didn’t get food till 5:53pm. It was cold. Could see a worker behind the counter start my drink, and 6 minutes later finish it. Another employee had to go and grab my food off the counter and get my drink to me. Could have circled drive through 2x from the time I got there till I actually got my food.

Latest update: Went by for 2 hotdogs and an order of onions rings. Very tasty onion rings and dogs. Friendly and good service. 5
Update: Went by for a hotdog a while back, still good and friendly service.
Original review:
Overall, this is a good Sonic location. The food is generally consistent and fresh. Sometimes a little slow, yet service is friendly. I like to enjoy a good hotdog occasionally, and they’re pretty good. Not as good as the wiener stand, yet convenient for me.

I’m usually not one to make reviews but I was actually quite upset this evening when I went to grab something to eat before work. I waited in line for good 10 minutes. Gentlemen brought me out my food while cars were already ahead of me? I get a little ways down the road and notice I don’t have some of my food. So I turned back around and told the same gentleman what happened and he acted very annoyed because I simply asked for what I payed for… and continued to rudely close the drive thru door in my face when I was still speaking regarding my order

This Sonic was such a mixed bag and honestly super frustrating. Katie, the girl who first handed me my food, was AWESOME. She was super sweet and helpful and I have no complaints there at all. But then I went through the drive-through and it was the complete opposite. I ordered a slushy with Nerds, and when I got it, there were no Nerds in it. I told the girl at the window, and instead of just fixing it, she snapped at me saying, “Well, you should’ve asked for them.” Excuse me?? I did order it that way! Then she just threw them in after the fact, didn’t remake the drink, and it wasn’t even done right. On top of that, I ordered something “dirty style” and it didn’t even come with the cream it’s supposed to have. The service at the drive-through was rude, careless, and honestly just sucked. It felt like two totally different experiences in the same visit. Katie was great, but the rest of it was enough to make me not want to come back.

The BLT I ordered was great! Lots of bacon! My favorite place to get a BLT quick. Drive thru was busy when I arrived but I didn’t wait longer than 5mins to get my food. Service was friendly as well. Would recommend this location.

So this was always our “go to” Sonics because it was the closest. But a recent experience has made us boycott this location. During our last and final visit not only did they get our order wrong by adding mustard to both burgers we ordered even though I listed no mustard, sending cold mozzarella sticks, cold tots, and they included rotten lettuce on one burger to boot. When I tried to get a refund for the burgers (should’ve been for the entire order) I ordered I was told that since I ordered on the app that I could only get a replacement of the food. That was a definitive “NO” for me. I called the customer service center and was told that I would be given a gift card which to this day (some 3 weeks later) I haven’t received. Be very cautious of what you order at this location…these folks DO NOT CARE about customer satisfaction
##UPDATE##
Since my last review, management kindly reimbursed me for part of my order. While I’m thankful, I’m also reluctant to eat at this location anytime in the near future. I implore everyone to check the ingredients prior to consuming food items there.

Food is always hot and flavorful! I love their cheeseburgers and tator tots! Very fast service as well with the ability to order ahead through their app! Edit: they also have awesome deals on their apps like BOGO etc, so if you are looking to save some cash or try something new on the menu, this is the way to order!
