    The Sonic double bacon cheese burger is sooo good. Onions rings can't be beat. Good menu selections. And I love the mango slushes. Watch out for a brain freeze. Lol Reasonable prices. Fast service. Like the old time drive in restaurants i love. Pull up order and pay from your vehicle. They bring it out to you. No inside seating. I love the nostalgia.

    We order a foot long hot dog and fries, and the lady came out and gave us food, i checked the bag and we had tots instead of fries, we pressed the button and told them that we had gotten the wrong thing we wanted fries and the man said it would be right out.. 15 minutes go by with no fries so i pushed the button again and the same man was acting clueles. i was so mad. this place is just ran by a bunch of teenager! they are more worried about the people running around in the trucks than actually doing their jobs.

    They have great food and it don’t take that long, but if they’re short handed it’s gonna take longer obviously!

    I stop and ordered two footlocker chili cheese dogs. And they were hard and dried out like they had been on the hot dog rotisserie all day. I've gotten better food from a 7/11.
