    Loved the jalapeño peppers and the slush at Travis’ store today! 🌶️🥤 Big shout-out to Logan and Sanu in the kitchen for keeping everything fresh and delicious. Sanu is back, and I finally tasted that food flavor I’ve been missing for a long time — got Sanu’s signature taste after so long, and it absolutely made my day. Keep up the amazing work, team!

    Today’s food at Travis’ store was perfect — nice and hot for this cold weather, and everything tasted super fresh. Huge thanks to the kitchen crew! I hope Sanu was working today because the food had her signature touch. The grilled cheese toast was made really well, the onion rings were crispy, and the cheese tots were absolutely on point. Great job, everyone!

    Friday night special really hit the spot! 🙌 I hope the same sanu kitchen girl was working tonight — her food always comes out perfectly wrapped, fresh, and full of flavor. Huge shout-out to Travis’ store for keeping everything consistent. Great job, Sonic crew! 🌯🔥

    I’ve been coming to this Sonic Drive-In for several years, and over the past four months I’ve especially noticed how outstanding the food and service have been. Every visit feels consistent and enjoyable. The management team deserves a lot of credit—Travis, the manager, is incredibly friendly, humble, and approachable. The staff at the drive-through are always polite and attentive, with Logan standing out for his consistent friendliness. The food is always served hot, fresh, and delicious. Even on the busiest nights—Thursday through Saturday—the team manages to get orders out quickly without sacrificing quality. The restaurant is kept very clean, and I really appreciate the neat food wrapping and presentation. The slushes are excellent, and the wait time is always minimal. The Sonic Smashers are also a highlight—very freshly flavored and well-packaged, which makes them a treat every time. I asked about the kitchen staff and learned that one of them is Sanu. I’d love to give a tip sometimes but wasn’t sure if it makes its way back to the kitchen crew. It would be great if the team behind the scenes could be recognized too. This Sonic is a perfect example of how great management, teamwork, and customer service can make a big difference. Whether it’s grabbing food through the drive-through or sitting outside to enjoy the view, I highly recommend this location.
