- JCJonathan CarmonaDec 16, 20252.0Just had my 1st Sonic slushie - the crew here delivered! However this review is about the size of your font on the drive thru menu. I literally laughed at how small the text was…I was full on Helen Keller guessing the flavors cackling at the audacity 🤣
- TWTina WestOct 17, 20255.0The food was piping hot and the service was very quick. The french fries were some of the best , so hot and crispy. I had the chicken sandwich and my husband had a burger. Both were really tasty. The menu is extensive, so you will be able get something you like easily. Enjoy.

- NCNeighbors CookingSep 12, 20251.0I had not visited this location in years, and it will likely be years before I consider returning. I waited 20 minutes in the drive-through with only two cars ahead of me to order two hamburger combos (approximately $30). When I finally reached the window, I was told I would need to wait an additional five minutes because the store was “behind,” despite the fact that the parking lot was empty and no other orders were visible. During this time, the car behind me became so frustrated that the driver left by driving over the concrete divider. When I asked for a customer service number to file a complaint, I was told there was no such number and again instructed to wait. At that point, I left without receiving my order. I want to emphasize that responding to a customer’s concern with “we’re busy” is not an acceptable explanation and reflects poorly on the quality of service.
