- SCSaramae ClarkDec 30, 20251.0Ordered mozzarella sticks. They tasted like they had been deep fried in super bad oil. They left a bad after taste in my mouth and made me sick before I even made it home.
- DBDonald BeckNov 16, 20254.0This Sonic is a regular stop on my road trips from Charlotte NC to Grand Rapids MI and back. It is unique in that it does not have the car-hop style that Sonic is known for, but the menu is familiar for Sonic. I usually get the standard fare - a Sonic Cheeseburger, onion rings and a shake. Meets expectations!
- EREllie RohOct 10, 20255.0This location has the kindest staff. Bobby is the nicest guy ever. Their coffee is also fire <3
- GDGregg DunhamSep 19, 20255.0Yummy food, the drive-thru could be faster, but not if that makes the food yummy!! Staff are friendly, which adds to the experience. Yes, you would think I picked a burger, but I opted for the footlong and shared with my grandson!!!!
