    We stop here frequently for a drink and a snack. The food is just ok. The service is not very good. They always are unfriendly and seem stressed even when not busy. Drink cups are always dripping and sticky. Ice cream items are always nasty. Wipe the damn cup down! We have visited here for 10 plus years because choices are limited in our little town. The parking area is always nasty. Stuff spilled everywhere and not cleaned up. I'm sure the kitchen is disgusting also. We get disgusted and stop eating there for a while, then we return thinking it might be better. Well this is the last time. Good by nasty Tazewell Sonic. I even deleted the app.

    The food is always good and hot. The drive up experience is reminiscent of my youth and fun to share with my children.
