    Waited an extended period of time + 10 minutes. None else there. I get 10 tater tots smothered in enough cheese for 2 regular large grape tots and cheese. The cheese sticks taste like they were unfrozen a while before fried or old. Piss poor .... straight terrible

    So I went here because everyone talks about the dill items and I wanted to get in on that I love dill. I had a hard time at the speaker so I couldn’t hear Tommy tell me about the dill tots after I asked for something pickle. He asked me if I wanted to try the dill tots at the window and he made them fresh for me. He sold me on the pickle ranch. He was such a good sales guy very friendly super great customer service. I recommend the sonic and I recommend Tommy as someone to brighten up your day when you go to that sonic! He even asked me to tell him what I think and so I tried one then and there and told him how delicious they were and what a great customer service person he was!!
