I know this place had some issues in the past but they certainly seem to have learned from their mistakes. It does take an extra minute or two to get your order but with how good the food is and the fact that I have not had a single issue in a long time I personally don’t mind at all. Keep up the good work!

awesome restaurant! ive ordered from here for both doordash and in person, and they never disappoint. food is always hot and fresh. the carhops are always incredibly kind and go over your order before hand-off to make sure everything is correct. service is quick as well. eating here is always a pleasure 🙂

Sonic has certainly fallen from the heights it once enjoyed. I hadn’t been to a Sonic in a very long time, but while talking with my friend, they mentioned a drink called the Lemon Cream Cooler, which I’d never heard of. Intrigued, we decided to stop by and give it a try.
I’ll say this upfront: I wouldn’t go to Sonic again for the food. The quality has seriously declined, the portion sizes are underwhelming, and overall, the experience was far from enjoyable. I ordered the Cheesy Bacon Supersonic Combo with tater tots and a large Cherry Lemonade.
To Sonic’s credit, the drinks remain its strongest point—they’ve never disappointed me, and this visit was no exception. My Cherry Lemonade was refreshing and flavorful, as expected. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.
The biggest issue I have with Sonic’s food is that most of it desperately needs more seasoning. The flavors are bland and uninspired, leaving little to enjoy. On top of that, if you’re going to call a burger the Cheesy Bacon Supersonic, it should live up to the name. This sandwich fell short in every way. The bacon was incredibly thin, barely tasted like bacon, and lacked the crispy, thick-cut quality you’d expect. The cheese was another letdown—the amount was minimal, and their cheese selection felt uninspired and unimpressive.
Sonic’s food today lacks the flavor, creativity, and quality that once made it special. If you’re craving a great burger, look elsewhere. If you want an amazing chili cheese hot dog, you’re better off making it at home or finding another spot. Sonic’s food has lost the magic it used to have.
This particular location was clean on the outside, which was nice, but most Sonic locations I’ve seen are not well-maintained. Even though there weren’t many customers, it took a surprisingly long time to prepare our single meal.
Unless I’m stopping by for a drink, I won’t be returning to Sonic anytime soon. While the drinks are consistently good, the food is simply not worth the trip. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone—grab a drink if you’re thirsty, but find somewhere else for your meal. Here’s hoping Sonic can make a full turnaround and reclaim its former glory.

This sonics is ALWAYS on top of it! Food is always fresh, and the manager makes sure your order is always correct, and the way you want it! The carhop gentleman was an absolute pleasure. So friendly and offered to bring any other condiments that I may have wanted. Truly the best service! Thank you Josh!

One of the cleanest Sonic’s I’ve been to. The manager even came out to ask for something special I had asked them make, to make sure it was correct. Food was generous in size and tasted good. We bought these in the afternoon on the way home so the photos aren’t great but we re-heated the onion rings in the air fryer and they were fantastic!

Quick stop after graduation ceremony. Food was hot, service was quick and Taryn was our Carhop. She was friendly & did a great job.

We came in for the 50 cent corndog day, but also wanted a couple other items. We got mozzarella sticks and an ocean water with bursting bubbles. I used their mobile app to place my order ahead of time. When we got there, it was busy, a lot of cars were out there. But after I checked in, it only was a few minutes before our food came out. David was the person who brought us our food, and he noticed that the wrong drink was given to us before handing it off to us. He quickly went back and got us the right drink. I really appreciated him checking and getting it right. The food was good, as expected for mass-produced fast food.

I stopped at this Sonic for a snack. I chose the “Ched R Peppers. I pulled up, ordered and a nice young lady brought them out to me.

Really good soft serve ice cream. What I will say that their drive thru speaker must be awful or the people working are hard of hearing. I do not have a crazy accent or anything and speak clearly but after repeating my order about 4 times they eventually just asked me to pull up the window to order.
