    Consistant, probably best fast food burgers around. Fresh and portion well. Their slushies are the best around. Their fries are crisp. Their ched n pepps are also best around. I have tried many items on menu. They are a solid place to eat.

    What seemed like the manager complained about us "honking our horn" really loudly to her coworkers. It was our car being locked. Then yelled at us when we had some car toubles and the alarm went off while we were about to leave, which we turned off literally like 5 seconds later. Plus forgot all of our sauces. Looking at other reviews and photos im pretty sure it was amanda lmao

    I love sonic and i come to this one often. i frequently get the twisted flamingo. i got that today but i didn’t really look at it till i got home and it IS not a twisted flamingo, i just payed more money for a Shirley Temple. there’s no sweet cream or cherry. it’s not bad just not what i wanted

    The woman who was attending the window is extremely rude she has zero customer service! If the name on the receipt is accurate her name is Amanda and she is very rude. Management please retrain your employees to have respect and not speak to customers rudely! The person who answered when I pressed the red button told us to go to the drive through after we told him we were there to pick up a doordash order I told him who it was for and everything. We wait on the drive thru line and she gave us massive attitude and spoke to us like we're stupid.
