- WRWayne RosewoodDec 20, 20255.0Definitely a bit jarring to see a Sonic brick-n-mortar building where you can sit down *inside* and eat, but it's really cool! Food is on point, as is the service!!
- MBMia BenavidesDec 12, 20251.0Horrible experience. We went today at 8:40pm and ordered 3 shakes. The lady that was passing us our drinks didn’t hand the shake to us properly which led to us having to grip the cup and the cup broke and shake went all over the place. She remade the shake but made sure to let us know that “You poked a hole in the cup when you grabbed it so you messed up the shake and not me”
- AHAndrew HesikDec 9, 20252.0The food at sonic is just not good anymore. RIP
- NMNick MachanNov 2, 20255.0Food came out quickly and piping (deliciously) hot, filled the craving I was having.
- MPMelissa PizanoOct 29, 20254.0Our order was quick, only a drink was forgotten but we dined in so we easily asked for it at the counter. Very generous on the condiments. Clean all around. Staff was courteous.
