I have been coming here since I moved 6 years now. My food is always good but today it was exceptional! Footlong, burgers, mozzarella sticks, fries. Fresh, hot, crispy! And my slushies 💯 had to make a review. Great job! And Andres was so nice when he brought my food!! Thank you

I truly appreciated my carhop Tualla checking our order for what we wanted. What we had asked wasn’t what we thought it was and he could’ve just dropped it off and left but Tualla went above and beyond to ask for our opinion and fixed it after realizing it wasn’t what we wanted. Thank you for the service!

12/11/25 I visited in a Wednesday evening. A friend told me that Sonic was having a special on mini corn dogs. I dropped by after work and asked in the drive thru if they were also having a special and they said they were on the regular size corn dogs.

After I gave my payment, the young woman inside handed me my credit card, receipt, and straw and then immediately handed me the drink. While I was putting the credit card away in a pocket, she impatiently waited holding the drink out of the window.

This is the 3rd time I've been overcharged or charged for something I didn't order. I was charged extra for sauce after she said they came with the food and charged for a drink when she said IT CAME WITH THE FOOD. All that for my food to be ice cold and mushy. NEVER AGAIN. The food is unseasoned, cold, and expensive for no reason. IM PISSED

I came here at 1AM for a burger drink and crispy chicken wrap. The drink was good but the crispy wrap was kind of stale. The burger had to have been spoiled or made in dirty oil or griddle because it smelled like fish so bad. I will not be coming back.
