    Food was hot and fresh, the lady working did a great job. She was friendly, and nice. It was a nice day so I left my window down, I could hear her visit with what I assume were "regulars. " She did a great job of customer service, I think he name was Sam. Funny how a few kind words and a smile can set you up for a good experience. Well done, would recommend this Sonic... which is saying a lot I feel like overall sonic customer service and food normally is not this good. This location is doing something right!

    After bringing out the wrong order initially, had to go back in and reprep my order. Then forgot my tots, which I figured out 20 minutes away at home...

    I come here quite often. Each time. This team gets my order right. Every time. I enjoy this location and I hope the other stores in the business can start looking to be like this store. And nothing seems to ever be thrown together. It’s handled with the knowledge that presentation is for the customer and the overall experience. It has many friendly people. Whoever was working 11/14, at 8pm. Thank you. This crew does it time and time again. There may be some new faces but at this hour, it still quality food and service. Thanks for taking the time to take care of your customers.
