    Sonics food is great, Service is always friendly sometimes you have to wait a few minutes but that's later at night and that's due to under staffing, same problem at all fast food places. They have Very Delicious Burgers and Fries. The Prices are reasonable. I always enjoy the food when we go or dessert, they have a really nice dessert menu!!
