    This is the second time that I've gone and they had the lobby closed, which means no access to bathrooms to wash your hands before you eat.

    Generally affordable and pretty decent food. However if you get drive thru make sure to double check as they almost always leave something out… again. Don’t bother trying to call either as they won’t pick up.

    They make decent food, too bad it takes 15 years before it gets to anyone. You’ll be sitting in the drive thru watching your children reach your age. Watching them grow and have their own children. You’ll go through 3 divorces and find a new true love. This time it won’t be a woman, it’ll be your gym coach Brian. Brian will treat you right, he will be by your side in the drive thru of Sonic for each hour it takes to make a large fry. I could’ve made two or three burgers at home with a 20 minute delay per burger before I get served. I would definitely recommend a reservation. You’ll need one. You can experience any holiday event in the drive thru if it’s winter you can all open present in the car while you wait!

    I had stopped going to McDonald's Huffman Because my burgers were always cold. I was going to try sonic which I did tonight and ordered a cheeseburger, and it was worse than a quarter pounder. I will give hufgman McDonald's a review next. Burger King on dimond is the bomb! whopper with cheese is way better than either McDonald's or sonic.

    Always love sonic food in the lower 48 was so excited when this one opened. Be advised the pull in stalls have never been used because every time you try, they will tell you that they are short staffed. Well, the food may sometimes be good on our most recent trip there we were told they were out of smash burgers, which was fine. We didn’t mind. We just changed to a different selection. Then, when I pulled up to the window, The nice Young worker told me he was out of ketchup! I told him that was the most outrageous thing I’ve ever heard from a fast food restaurant and cancel my order. He told me yes he agreed then I told him I feel very sorry for the kids that work in there because the reason they’re understaffed is because whatever greedy owner has this place is unwilling to pay a decent rate to keep some employees there. He said he agreed with me and that the general manager had just walked off the job this week because of the place being such a freak show! I call out shame on the owner of this place that they has never taken care of his employees or even provided the most basic condiment that all fast food restaurants would never be without and I absolutely love ketchup. Ended up going down the street to McDonald’s where you least know the food is made in a clean environment and that the employees are paid a slightly decent wage that they can support their families on. I will never go to the sonic again because I despise greedy corporate franchise owners who do not take care of their staff bye-bye!!!
