    Great service and great food! The smasher is such an awesome addition, and the crinkle fries are perfectly crisp! Sonic always had the best drinks and lackluster food, but that’s no longer the case.

    I ordered a double cheeseburger deluxe with grilled onions, mustard,relish and tomato. I received a burger whose meat tasted and looked more like my dogs food in a patty and tasted just as bad. No grilled onions, smothered in mayo and lettuce. It tasted so bad it went in the trash. The FF were soaked in grease and the root beer tasted watered down. My first and last visit TO SONIC. You get what you pay for Hats off to BIG GUYS for quality food.
