Very slow..took over 20 minutes to get an order for 4 people. It was new years so maybe they were understaffed. The chicken strips had very little actual meat and the breading was near burnt. I asked for a lot of ketchup and got about 5 small packets despite ordering two large sides. Burgers were good

Needed a noon snack. Love Sonic! We got 2 hot dogs with relish & mustard only. Fries 2 cokes (still shocked they use styrafoam) and hot saled pretzel ( nice and crispy). They serve it with cheee dip, but I did not want it.
No pics. But great service. Thanks Raton, New Mexico.

I went to this location to specifically get a green chile grilled cheese since only NM locations offer green chile. When my order came out, I realized they forgot to add the green chile. They were very friendly and remade the grilled cheese in a timely manner. I was able to tell right away that they made it correctly the second time because there was so much green chile that is was coming out of the sides of the sandwich. That sandwich was so delicious and I appreciate the staff working to get the order right.

ORDER OUTSIDE, DO NOT ENTER
I'm not from Raton and was accustomed to another Sonic, which has an indoor seating area. It's important to note that this one DOES NOT! I walked into what appeared to me to be a door to a place a customer can order food and then sit down and eat it. Not so. I walked right into the kitchen. Don't do that. Don't try to enter this Sonic.
