    I give 5 stars for their former employee, Lexi! She has been amazing with her service in the carhop 10 years ago. Once she even took the time to listen to my life story, which was about my hamster who sadly passed away the Sunday before I went there. She even gave me a loving hug afterwards, and telling me that it will be okay. I proceeded to buy a goldfish, because that is what Ted Lasso taught me. To be a goldfish. I finally gave her a 100% tip, because that is what her wisdom is worth. Bless you Lexi, wherever you are!

    i just want to thank this crew again. The food is ALWAYS fresh and delicious, but the service here lately has gone above and beyond their usual inviting efforts. Sam (Manager) took my call and heard me out about a small mistake With my food. This was almost 2 weeks ago. Today I called and she immediately remembered me and honored the agreement we had made. K.B. served me with a great attitude and encouraged me to visit again soon. I would say the most impressive thing about this crew is that I can tell that Sam is appropriately coaching her crew. The things she said to me on the phone and the way she acted towards me, I feel like we’re imitated by the crew members. This shows me that this team is well trained And there is care behind their efforts. Thank you again , Sonic!
