    Travel through for work. I didn't check my order after getting down the road I discovered my corn dog was not even edible. It was hard as a rock. Very disappointed 😔. Now I won't have any dinner tonight.

    I eat at several different Sonics in the region and this one is hands down the best! Always great tasting fresh food and prepared right.

    Not good. Another fast food place with barely adequate food and employees who just hang out and provide minimal service. They don't care about the customer. That is obvious. Fries were nasty. Burnt, barely warm, tasted gross. Burger was edible, but nothing to write home about. Drinks were overfilled so when you took your first drink shirt got all wet. Lackluster is a good term for this location. Lackluster food, Lackluster service, Lackluster. Avoid. You can do better and your worth more than what this place can offer.
