    Like Sonic as a better fast food option. Food is excellent, and really, what is not to like about tots! Service at this Sonic can back up, and I am not certain if their drive up kiosks are working yet. The drive thru line can get long, but they move through the line at a reasonable pace! IMO, better than Wendy's, McDonald's and Burger King for burgers. And love those tots!
