    Not happy with this Sonic. Took forever, area was dirty, and worst of all the food was cold. Additionally, I’ll bet there were 20 jalapeños on my breakfast burrito. Would not recommend.

    We went through on Dec 15th a little before 7 am. We have been traveling pretty much non-stop for 3 days and are exhausted. We stopped there - had great service. Was also impressed with the food prep. My husband's toaster sandwich wasnt soggy or messy. My burrito was wrapped well and had plenty of sausage and egg. Great job and thank you for giving us a good experience on our trip!

    Went Saturday night and the male manager who was working is extremely unprofessional and rude! No reason I should be waiting 23 minutes on a pretzel burger and iced coffee.
