    I think sonic is going downhill. Anymore when I try ordering it's some person who clearly doesn't want to be there, and it shows. Food is getting to sloppy, they must only hire lazy people

    Attempted to order for 10 mins. The woman started taking our order but didn’t make it past the first item. Bummer to see how far this chain has fallen.

    I waited far too long for a fast food order. The employee was nice and apologetic about the wait at least. But for $10 my chicken sandwich and fries tots were completely unacceptable: they were both burned and stale. Sonic has really gone downhill.

    I saw alot of negative comments and decided to give this place a try. I ordered the Super Sonic Burrito with tots and French toast sticks. The Burrito was very good and the tots were crispy just how I like them. French toast sticks were hot. Everything was very good. I did have to ask for salsa for the Burrito. Taylor was very friendly, so don't go by all the negative comments, Try them yourself! I'll be back!
