- VPVickie Putnam2 days ago5.0Great staff and Management is very helpful and friendly. Food Great. Always a great day when I can stop by sonic on 1st. Street. Keep up the great work guys.
- FBFifi BolandDec 28, 20255.0Stopped by after work around 6:30 am and ordered breakfast, she brought my food but then the computer went down and I didn't have any cash to pay for the food, instead of taking the food back she let me keep it and told me not to worry about it. She could have been rude or ugly about the situation but she just smiled and told me to enjoy my breakfast and my day. I went back after work and paid for it and the staff was polite and grateful, although confused at first. Thank you Sonic for having amazing staff.
