I really enjoyed it every time I go food always fresh and hot!
One of my favorite things about them is the service from the people. I sit by myself and enjoy without my husband 😊

You can really tell when the manager isn't working on a particular day. The service is beyond slow, 25 minutes for two drinks. It's not that busy. They even managed to get my drink wrong. When the manager is here though I have literally no issues at all, service is fast and accurate. I'm not one to complain but I didn't order anything complicated or excessive and I even ordered ahead to reduce my wait time.

I have never had an experience quite like this one from any Sonic I came thru the drive thru and and person who answered was extremely nice and helped me understand the prices and everything, I think his name was will if I’m not mistaken when I got to the window the employee was very nice. Food was fresh and fast. 100/10 definitely my new place to go, way better than the sonic on boyette and big bend.

Overall I wasn't pleased with the service or food I received. The drinks at half price is a good deal but the food tasted old and the cheese in two of my mozzarella sticks weren't melted and the other two were fried together with cheese hanging out of the sticks. Didn't bother taking it back because I assumed the next batch would be the same considering the way I was treated before getting my food anyways.

Sonically, I’m not sure what’s going on here. But when it comes to sound…again, no clue. This is a place for food. As in they make food that you can buy. And when it comes to that—this place is kind of a marvel. They have tater tots. And that’s all they need to have. But they have hot dogs too. Check and mate. And when I tell your that you can have both of those items—the tots and the dog—covered in chili and cheese, well, book your room and the hospital and let’s get this party started!!
