    One of the best Sonic's around. I live on the West Coast, and I am always disappointed by the Sonic's out there. Same with the ones I have tried when I visit friends in Colorado. This one is always on point the food is always great and the limeades are as good as it gets.

    I always love Sonic…. On Friday and Saturday nights, the high school crowd can be a little much, but other than that…. Sonic is great. Wish they had better deals and rewards for App users.

    I just wanted to PRAISE the folks at this particular location. I go by a lot, and they used to be so extremely slow, but they have definitely put the A team in as of late! My good was so fast and fresh yesterday (10/31), and the car hop was so friendly!

    Food is always good, Service as well, but pay at the order stand isn't working, on most of these screens are blank, can't pay and tip, but they'll have to bring food , then go in and run the card then have to bring back the card, as I pulled up to the order kiosk, ladies were vaping in there where food is being prepped, how is that possible, having that knowledge, ServSafe would have a cow.... But the services is Great and the workers are too. Just be careful when it comes to food....
