    I wasn't even aware that this one was reopened. Used to be my go-to sonics as it was close to my work yard. Glad there have been back open for a while now. Always had the best Coke in town. I still just missed the styrofoam cups

    Old fashioned drive-thru where you order at the parking spot and they bring it to your car. On my visit the food has been consistent and the service efficient.

    This store has a lot of issues given the fact that it says it's supposed to be open at 6:00 a.m. yet when I put in a mobile order at 7:30, when I arrived at the store it took the people 10 minutes to come out and let me know. Oh, we just opened and it'll be another 20 minutes before The griddle warms up. This is why Sonic drive-thrus are failing poor customer service and management.
