    I really like this location. They always give great service! ** 10/10** I recommend the chili frito wrap and the Sonic cheese burger with Mayo, lettuce, Onion and Cheese. Makes for a really yummy burger! I am a little sad because I was a REALLY BIG FAN of the original fries. I hate that they dont even offer them as an option anymore! 😟 but the Chili.cheese tots compliment the burger as well!!

    I rarely eat fast food. This is surprisingly good. Been coming here because my girl wants the ice cream stuff, but I've been getting the burgers and breakfast burritos, etc. The smashburger is on par with the local restaurants that charge twice the price for the same thing. The fried chicken is surprisingly good as well, crispy on the outside and juicy tender on the inside. All in all, I'm rather taken aback by how good it all is for a chain fast food joint. For a place like this, I typically expect the food to be passable or edible at best, but this is actually good food. Not fancy, but very well put together and executed. The cooks here are doing a great job.

    Was in town for work stopped at sonic, and they messed up my order after sitting in line for 15 minutes. All the mozzarella sticks were busted two had no cheese filling ,the burger they forgot my bacon and to take off the pickles. Used to sonics being bad at service, but this one’s pretty bad. Also burger patties do not look like smashed burger patties.
