Sonic, as you know, is a drive-in. We ordered the cherry limeade and pink lemonade slush. Very good!

Quite honestly the worst fast food meal we’ve ever had. They apparently don’t change their fryer oil so the fries and chicken tasted like rancid oil and like they rolled the fries in salt. My husbands hamburger was burnt so bad it was mostly black.

Every time I go to the Emmett Sonic they never give us the marinara sauce ordered. Every time without fail it's not in the bag and for some reason all of the other sauces make it in. I go semi regularly with my friends and this always happens here and yet never happens at other Sonics. I would literally pay for extra if it was an option. I just want my marinara sauce.

Great food, but even better service! Hunter was such a kind and polite young man and truly made our experience memorable. My chicken club toaster was absolutely delicious, and his positive attitude and hard work stood out. It’s so refreshing to see a young person taking pride in their work and being so courteous. I will definitely be back!
