- FCFischer ColvinDec 24, 20255.0One of the best sonic locations I've been to, always accurate on the order and food is always hot
- JCJoe CioffiDec 24, 20255.0The food was hot and the morning crew were incredible!
- MCMichael CallanDec 17, 20253.0Best thing about Sonic is drink options and hours of operation. Other than that ... Meh food, and over priced.
- ETElizabeth TaylorDec 3, 20255.0Taylor went above and beyond in customer service, a truly uplifting experience that will inspire me to return and continue to spread the word about his exceptional service. I stop by a sonic almost daily and his customer serve knocked it out of the park. Will definitely be back!!!
- MMMajelDec 1, 20253.0After placing my order on the app I drove across the street to pick it up... pulled up and checked in....waited 25 mins and watched about 3 orders come out....wasn't even busy... after waiting the 25 mins I walked in, even though they were supposed to bring it out....got my order and checked it.... IT WAS WRONG. so not only did I wait and have to go in but it was WRONG. Now if they were busy,sympathetic or seemed like they cared in the slightest this probably wouldn't bother me so much but there was no excuse
