    This Sonic is awesome! Super fast and super friendly and the food is fresh. Great menu options in a five-star overall dining experience. Highly recommend this Sonic if you're hungry and looking for great food and service.

    Best place to car watch! If you want some live entertainment, just eat your chilly cheese dog and sip your slushy and enjoy watching people hit the curbs pulling in. Or near missed on 31 or simply a v6 mustang give it everything and go nowhere. Definitely a 10 outa 10. Always something going down. Never bored

    Monyeh and Taylor provided excellent service for me and my parrot. They had bright and friendly smiles. They even gave my parrot some Tots to go. You did well hiring these two. 😊

    The food is great, the service can be. My biggest complaint is they need to make up their minds on their hours of operation and stay with it. It saids on their website that they open at 8:00 on Saturdays, but they don't. At least, not when I went there. Fix your hours on your website so people are not misled. Some people have to prioritize their time, they don't have time to waste. Simple things like this can affect your business.
