    Went to this location on 11/11/2025, for lunch. Woke up some time after midnight with diarrhea, stomach cramps and nausea. I thought it might have been the flu. I was sick for two days. I also felt very weak. The only place I went that day was Sonic. Today I heard that this Sonic has been shut down for failing a health inspection. To be shut down, and not just told to fix an issue, it’s SHUT DOWN! Now I know how, what and why I got sick.

    Revised: It's slow. Before I revised the review was about slowness, but I figured I could at least reword it, it's fast food after all, and they probably don't get paid very much, so could probably cut a little bit of slack as far as that goes.

    Unable to get Large Blasts, they only serve medium as their largest size. Cups were not filled too the top. Ordered large , but was told when paying that they were not available and couldn't answer why.
