- ETEdgardo Torres2 days ago5.0Fast and food is always nice and hot polite servers
- ELEddie Littrell4 days ago5.0This was likely my best experience at any Sonic. The restaurant was busy, but not packed, so parked easily. My order was taken quickly and it came out hot and fresh much faster than I expected. I was able to eat in the car and not rush. Easily got out of the parking lot and got back to the Interstate easily via the light right at the restaurant. A really good experience. The food was really good too! Not sloppy at all. It looked appetizing and it tasted just as great. Great job!

- BPBonnie PowellDec 17, 20254.0I'm giving a 3 star for the food. Because even though they were busy, they still gave me some cold tatertots, that I had to send back. Other than that I was satisfied with the food. Also, I wish they wouldn't have taken down a lot of their speakers, menus, & converted them into just parking spots, I guess those spots are only for customers to sit & eat at. But they have way more of those parking spots that doesn't have speakers & menus than parking spots where you can pull in and order. Which to me means that those customers who want to sit & eat in their car after receiving their food, would have to move their cars into one of those parking spots.
- GCGlen CherryNov 22, 20255.0I just used the drive thru. I noticed they had a credit card reader outside. I was 3rd in line and the gentleman brought out food for the car I'm front of me. (2nd). It was a big bag so I'm unsure if it just came up before the other car or if they ordered ahead. It worked, smoothly. The guy in the window was pleasant when it was my turn. The food was nice, I got the ketchup they let me choose if I wanted. All around pleasant experience.
