★★★☆☆ 3.0 Minister R Electlady · Sep 2025

I love their food always great the wait time is there biggest downfall. We had to wait 40 minutes for our food. You better have nothing but time on your hands if you go here. The young lady that waited on us was very manageable and so sweet. Our food was cold because of the wait, we didn't want to wait no longer. We took it home and heated it. Which it is much better when served hot. They need to hire more people

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Casie Cate · Sep 2025

This is by far the nastiest Sonic I’ve ever been to. One female employee had long hair hanging out of her hat and even saw it laying across the food prep area when she lend up against counter. No gloves are worn, and I watched workers touch their faces, noses—even scratch themselves—before handling food. Absolutely unacceptable. On top of that, the orders are rarely correct. Today, I ordered a simple burger with no onions or pickles and a tea. Somehow, it still came with onions and pickles. It shouldn’t be this hard to get right. Employees were on their phones, walking around like they were on break, and one guy had his hoodie pulled over his Sonic hat while scratching his ear near food. Completely gross. This place needs serious management and training. Please do better.

We were on vacation and had to stop by Sonics. We are super happy that we did. The smoothies are great. My daughter was really happy that she finally got to try their blue raspberry with nerds smoothie. We stopped here a few times before our trip ended. We tried the burgers, chili cheese hot dog, french fries, ice cream, and smoothies. Delicious! I love the fact we can park and order. They bring the food out to you. I hope they open one in Hawaii!!!

Food was fresh and got service with a smile at the drive-thru, which as you well know, doesn't always happen these days. Nice work, Sonic staff!
