    Ordered the Footlong Coney with cheese and onions. I got a Footlong without onions. Ordered a Chili cheese coney with onions. I got Chili cheese tots. I ordered a medium fries. I got old crunchy fries that's been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. One of the worst experiences I've had at Sonic.

    I haven't been here for a long time because of terrible past experiences, so I gave it another shot and everything was awesome, the order was correct, the employees were very happy and nice respectful, To all whom do the hiring, you have a killer crew working for you, treat them as well as they are treating your customers, I will definitely be returning to Sonics

    What a glow up! 10 months ago I left a terrible review because this place was a mess. In the last few weeks I've come here a few times and am pleased to see they have fixed the place up and it is again a respectable restaurant serving the community. I believe the place is under new management and it really shows because the ice cream machine is fixed, many of the potholes have been patched, the building and lot looks like it was power washed and cleaned really well and overall its much better. The service is pretty decent too. A+, keep up the good work y'all
