    First time visiting this Sonic. We went for milkshakes and the service was extremely quick and the milkshakes were amazing! Plenty of spaces to pull into!

    The wait time is always outrageous, hire more people. You get one item and wait 30 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous. Had to leave after waiting over 30 min. Brought me the wrong food once, waited more and just had to leave because I had to go back to work. Tried calling for a refund and guess what, they also don’t answer the phone!

    The best sonic I've ever been to. My orders are almost always 100% correct and the service is great. Jenny deserves the world!

    Over 35 minute wait for some chicken bites and two drinks is INSANE!!!! When brought to empoyees attention, all she could do was stare at me a repeat "I'm sorry, we only have 2 carhops" over and over again. Avoid this location, find another.
